THE MODERN DOLL
 IN AMERICA
With Heads That Are Tough and
 Faces That Are Lifelike.

China dolls were once owned by all children, as such dolls are still by many. Then there were dolls with heads made of mixture of plaster and papier mache and dolls with wax heads, and then again others were dolls heads such as are called, for short, bisque, meaning biscuit, signifying that they were, like china, of a clay material; but baked unglaz- ed. Dolls heads of these various materials are still made and still sold in great numbers everywhere, except that not so many wax dolls are now sold in this country, for the reason that they don't do we'll here on account of variations in the temperature.
 All these various dolls-the china doll that broke or clipped easily, and the papier mache doll that might have jagged pieces knocked out of it and the wax doll whose nose was

THE WILD DUCK
 AND ITS MATE
Faithful Companion of a Canyasback
 Caught in the Ice.

An incident showing the fidelity ex- isting between mated pair of can-
 casback ducks came recently to the
 notice of an old riverman who fishes and hunts for living on the wat CTS of the St. Lawrence He was
 rowing back to his cabin just out
 side the edge of the shore ice one af- ternoon when in little cove just , ahead he saw two wild fowls, one standing on the edge of the ice and the other swimming near by in the water.
 It being close season he carried no gun with him. He rowed up to a point very near the birds before the one in the water took wing and flew off. He was surprised to see the other remain where it was upon the ice, and even more surprised when the flying duck returned and lit in the current just out of gunshot. His curiosity aroused, he rowed up to the duck upon the ice. It remain ed motionless. Perceiving now for the first time that it was a canvas back, and realizing that this species of wild fowl is seldom found on the St. Lawrence after the fall months, his wonder increased. AS the nose of his punt ran upon the ice the duck began to flap it's wings franti- cally, and it was then that the man realized why it had not taken wings with the other. It's feet were frozen
 in the ice.
 With some difficulty he chopped
 away the ice from the imprisoned
 birds feet, and took the bird up in his arms, It scarcely weighed more
 than the bones and feathers which
 composed 1t. He saw. also that tho

easily bruised and the hardier bisque doll-all were made in Europe, and the great majority in Germany, from which country in fact that bulk of the worlds dolls still comes. Now, however, there is made in this coun- try, with it's head of a material talk ing finish somewhat resembling that of biscuit head, and American doll that in appearance compares most favorable with any imported, while there is also claimed for the American doll the merit of indestruc- tibility You can drop this doll with out breaking it.
 The great majority of the worlds dolls are still made with the tradi- tional dolls face, but in Europe late- ly 4hey have taken to making what they call character dolls with faces true to type, and they have been making also some other dolls heads with lifelike faces instead of dolls faces.
 Of the dolls produced in this coun- try some are made of the doll face type, for which there is still a de- mand that is universal, but there are now made here many character dolls, as Eskimos, Indians, Dutch boys and so on, with faces on their several types, and there are now pro- duced here in dolls that are just

 Around the place where the duck was imprisoned were remnants of shelfish and other food, showing that the birds mate had endeaVored to keep it alive by carrying nourish- ment to it. The man computed from the ice formations about it and from the cancellation of the duck that it must have been imprisoned there for at least two weeks. He liberated the bird in the water, but it was so weak that it died few minutes afterward. The mate doubtless proceeded on it's way south, for he never saw it again
