brings the greater part of his vast stock
of Christmas toys from Europe, Germany
being his favorite collecting grounds.
But he encourages American industry in
a few directions, notably in cheap me-
chanical tovs. The tin railway trains
nnd tin horses and steamboats that run
when wound up with a key are made in
quantities in flrooklyn by machinery;
and the cast-iron toys of the sume de-
soription are made principally in New
York. When ho desires an expensive
mechanic! tov. however, he goes to
France for it; to Saxony for his Noah's
arks and all the other cary ed wooden
toys: to Nuremburs for his tovs, tin
trumpets and magic lanterns, and to
Thuringia for k's toy china tea sots.
Far more i nportant than all other toys
are the dolls, and nine dolls out of ten
are litle German girls. In whole dis-
tricts in Germany the co ry prople
spend the winter in m king dolls, tillinz

But if we do not make dolls to any
extent in this country, wo repair them at
a great rate. About Christmas times a
“*doll hospital” is established in all the
big stores in New York where toys ave
sold, and dolls with eyes that should
move but are fixed, with legs that insist
upon being knock-kneed, with arms that
are loose, with wigs that fall off, or
back to be repaired or exchanged. In
some of the larger concerns the doll
hospital at such times containg more pa-
tients thau any real hospital in the city.

“Daring the first days of ‘Pike's Peak,
when that country was being occupied by
mining prospectors, their cabins were
overrun with rats--not your domesticated
house-mice and rats of an old civilized
community, but rats—-large, ravenous
rats— with teeth and digestive apparatus
capable of managing anything from a
tough old boot to a dainty pices of
breakfast bacon,
“This state of affairs came to the
knowledge of a thrifty Dutchman, poor,
but willing to earn a bright dollar if the
way was only pointed out, and roused his
dormant ideas to take advantage of the
rat nnisance and profit thereby, The
Dutchman secured a yoke of oxen, rigged
filled the same with good eats which his
neighbors were glad to be rid of. With
this outfit he started across the plain for
Pike's Peak, a tedious joarney of some
wix hundred miles, This, witl scant
any encounter with their victims.
“Their serival spread joy among the
honseholders, and everything was set
aside to purchase nats. ‘When the stock
