Indian races, have played much the
same games as did the Greek and Roman
and Egyptian children before them. 1t
seems indeed that a common humanity
begins in infancy.
The rattle, that venerable toy of joy
forever to children of all ages and under
all skies, was well known in ancient
Greece, and greatly esteemed for the
use of infants 1t probably was in
vented in the fifth century b. G. by
Archytas, philosopher who was indeed
great. since he was not too busy to
lend his wisdom to reasonable childish
things.
Nor must you run away with the idea
that toys are only for children. Scat
tered throughout the world are grave
merchants, doctors lawyers, magistrates
and men following the profession of
arms who have passion for toy sol
diers. Some collect only certain types;
others strive to obtain complete gall
lery of small lead warriors.
one collector has more than 400 900
specimens, another has 100000. In the
latter collection each regiment Of infan-
try is composed of twenty-five infantry
men. and ton cavarymen compose
each regiment of horse. The in
fantry regiments of another grownup
enthusiast consist of 240 men, with
ninety-six in each of the mounted
branches.
Some of these collectors keep their
treasures, brought together only after
years of untiring search. for the most
part peacefully reposing in flannel lined
cabinets. Others of more militant
turn conjurc up great hattlefields in

with facts learned later on, and will
materially assist in impressing these
facts upon the memory.
THE toys keep pace with the times,
and may serve as object lessons to those
who mill learn. Who knows hut that
they may eventually throw light on the
long forgotten period of the twentieth
century should the archeoiogists of ages
TO come be as fortunate IN their finds
as the Egyptian cXCavators of the .pres-

There is no great world event that
has not.been symbolized by a toy. Even
the guillotine of the French Revolu-
ton has been reproduced by a p.aything.
Who knows but that the child Moses
may have owned the linen doll stuffed
with papyrus grown on the banks of abe
Nile that reClines dumbly behind glass

The fine workmanship of the Middle
Ages of Europe and of the sItcna isSance
is reflected in the toys of those periods.
There was no special trade of toy
makers then. Mrs. Nevill jackson, a

of the man. And great is Nuremberg,
chief cradle of that most debonair of
toys. the little lead soldier
Another word as TO toy soldiers. Mrs.
Jackson writes:
I'm Germany, where the play of chill
dren is so much utilized for educational
purposes, toy soldiers are taken very
seriously; not only do the best Nurem-
berg makers employ good artists to
make their models, but men of letters
to furnish details as to past wars
psychologists To secure accuracy in de-
tails of arms and Announcements, and
writers to furnish short accounts of the
wars in which the soldiers were en-
gagged. Nearly every war of any inn
portance in the history of the world has
contributed to the furnishing of copy
and models to fill the delightful glass
covered boxes to contain the famous
toy soldiers of Nuremberg"
The magic lantern. which perhaps
above all other toys appeals to the love
of mystery of the boysh mind, was n
vented by Roger Bacon. an English
monk who told his beads back in the
thirteenth century. Some years laIer
the magic lantern became a favorite
among the nobility, having particularly
great popularity in the fun loving
homes of France.
