Better Soldier Than statesman.

Better Soldier Than Statesman.
One hundred years ago on the forty.
nth anniversary OF his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title OF duke in recognition of his
success In the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house of commons voted $1,000
OOo for the support Of his new dignity.
Within little more than a year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief of the
British forces. Later in life the duke
OF Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as a soldier were not the qualities that
best befitted for the premiership, and
the career OF the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

THERE are some toys that can be
i made at home for the smaller chill
dren and they are among those that
are most durable and most cherished.
Among them are Teddy bears, dogs,
elephants, rabbits and kittens made of
canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls.
printed on strong muslin, can be
bought ready TO be cut out and made
at home. The animals are cut by pat
terms to be had at pattern companies
and are stuffed with sawdust. Small
buttons or beads make their eyes and
heavy yarns are employed in outlining
the mouth or nose or other details.
A small white dog shown in the pic
ture illustrates how we'll these toys
look He is furnished with eyes made
OF little black buttons and ears cut
from black cloth. A ribbon carrying
a tiny bell is sewed about his neck
and he is bedecked with narrow band
OF red ribbon about his body, tied in
bow at the side.
A clown doll is shown with the head
made of ribbed goods like stocking
top. The body is made OF blue cambria
and the shoes OF red. The tall hat is
of red also, and the costume Is fin
ished with ruffle collar of white lace.
This doll has eyes made Of small black
beads with eyebrows and eyelids de-
fined with black yarn. His nose is
formed by making a short ridge in the
face drawn together by few stitches.
A stitch, in red yarn, forms his mouth
and a mustache and whiskers are
made OF black yarn. BY separating the
yarn into strands, and sewing it about
the head below the cap, an abundance
of curly, black hair is simulated. The
cap is topped with tiny bell and red
yellow and blue yarns represent but
tons and embroidery In his apparel.
Among the new things brought out
for this year are pictures to be made
by cutting out figures from colored It's
sue paper and pasting them on thin
paper background. The tissue is placed
over an outline picture and the figure
wanted drawn In outline with a pen
ell. 1t Is then cut out. Different OBJ
jects are drawn on different colored
paper, as trees on green paper, horses
on white or brown paper, and other OBJ
jects on appropriate colors. After all
the required figures are cut out, they
are pasted on the background.
