Tribute to Painters Skill.

One of the still life paintings BY
Jan van Huysen in the museum ~,
The Hague was recently injured, but
it is believed the perpetrator was
neither vandal nor thief.
The picture represents basket O,

so true to nature, so say the officials
of the gallery, that the canvas was
injured by some one who endeavored
to "shoo" it and brought his cane or
hand too close to the canvas "a
tribute to the painters genius" says
the letter recording the fact, "for which
the work had to suffer"

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Michigan lady
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times | had no appe-
tite whatever. The food took did not
nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone. l had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trife
would upset me and bring on a violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.

but did not believe what | read at the
time. At last when it seemed as il

Grape-Nuts.

by poor man and his sister after their regular
working hours and bought by Mr.. Muller at high
rates as his pet philanthropy. In this shop now
100 years old are seen all of the most novel Of
the toy-village playthngs The store was crowded
with more children over thirty than under thir-
teen, and absorbed for hours over the clever and
quaint attractions
The dolls house of Nuremberg leaves nothing
to be desired. Not only the usual rooms of a con-
ventonal menage found in it, but conserva-
tories with miniature orchids, fountains and wa

and children in aprons and carrying slates the

In all German art, of which toy making is by
no means an insignificant department, perfection
of detail has always been the salient feature. Ev-
cry phase of home life is reproduced in micro
scopic form in German toyland, even down to the
pairs Of hand-knitted stockings and sweaters
the hob-nailed shoes and blue bouses which make
up the wardrobe of the volks boy and girl.
The tourist season is a second Christmas for
Nuremberg people, and they sell as many play
things IN the one period as the other. An inter-
esting point brought to light by this fact is the
early differentiation of the American and Euro
pean individuality which shows itself in choice of
games and pastimes. They say in the shops that
an American child is invariably fascinated over
the mechanical and complicated that he finds in
tense interest in mastering the technicaties even
of playing, while the European child likes a sim
pier but brilliantly colored toy, cherishng often
curious sentiment for traditional objects such as

They are blessed with Imagination these vii
lage people, and they are not ashamed of show
ing their simplicity of spirit. Their souls are
bound up in the heritage OF centuries The trag-
edies of their city's history wind about the toys
they make, breathing into the wood a characteris-
tic vitality-the vitality that comes of centuries
of striving, of centuries of patient achievement.

paper, doing up" your Christmas presents. re-
member that many Of them have come from this
quaint little Village of Always Christmas It
may add to your holiday happiness to know that
no pleasure which the toys may bring can be
greater than the pleasure of those who made them,
and that no good will of yours can Guido the quiet
