GOT TRADE SECRET CHEAP
Dying Drunksrd Sold for Fif:y Dollars
the Only Method Of Making
Dolls Eyes.

Dolls eyes have romantic history,
says a writer in Pearsons.
Birmingham toy manufacturer
years ago was approached by one Of
the largest dealers in dolls, who asked
him to undertake tie manufacture Of
eyes.
The toy manufactures, thinking
there was nothing in the business,
turned down the proposition.
But the business was big one. and
when an order to the value Of $500
was mentioned the manufacturers I'M
dertook the work
The real difficulties Of the task then
became apparent The first eyes were
hopeless failures. and a great deal Of
money was spent on experiments. The
cleverest glass tOy-workers III the
kingdom We're engaged but all to no
purpose. Finally the attempt was
given up.
About eighteen months later the toy
manufacturer, by a strange chance
met Il man utterly impoverished by
drink and in the last stages Of con
sumption. who held the secret Of the
process for making dolls eyes He was
willing to sell this secret for fl0
Eagerly the manufacturer paid the
price, but 50 incoherent were the dying
mans directions that it was impossi-
bic to follow them.
In desperation the Birmingham
manufacturer went to the inventors
garnet and saw the process in actual
operation. Before half dozen Of the
eyes mad been made the secret was
grasped ana the manufactures Of
dolls eyes was firmly established.

DECREED REST FROM LABOR
Saxon Monarch, a Thousand Years
Ago, Instituted Custom of Satur-
day Half Holiday.

4 thousand years ago the Saxon
King Edgar proclaimed rest from
all labor from the noon of Saturday
till the dawn of Monday, and the same
principle was emphasized by his sue
cessOrs.
The church was in those days the
domir ant factor in all social life. and
the $ turday-to-Monday ordinance was
doubtless at first intended to give the
people fun opportunities for going TO
church Round the village church, too,
gradually sprang up the Saturday mar
ket for the cottagers, and So though
slowly, the Saturday holy day evolved
into a holiday.
With the change from agriculture TO
industriallsm, people left the villages
for the towns, and here for some time
the Saturday half-holiday was endan-
gered in the rush and greed of the
new found and little understood prog
ress" A saner and more moderate
outlook, however, restored the Satur-
day halfholiday. But, curiously
enough. the towns claimed it as a new
invention of their own. ignoring the
village life which, long centuries back,
knew as a legal right the weekly half
holiday of the Saturday.

Great value has always been at
