The word doll Is not found In com mon one In our language until the middle of the eighteenth century, and. as far ns can be discovered, ap pears In The Gentleman's Mngazlne Tor September, 1751, In the following: "Several dolls with different drew, made In St Jnines street, have been sent to the CMirlnn to show the manner of dressing at present In fashion among ""English ladles." Trevlous to this the word used to describe the favorite plaything of all Klrls In nil countries and In all ages . was "baby," which Is to be' found, together with "popped." or "puppet."

There were no, fashion papers ns now, and In order td show wlint was being worn on the continent dolls were benutifully and expensively dressed ond sent to the various Kuropenn conn- trios, and from the model orders were taken.

Dolls' eyes are made In tin- doVgrrfand rooms. Into which the sun light rarely peeps, nnd violet orbs are the most difficult to color. There Is one town In Germany where three fourths of all the dolls eyes In the world are made. Only In the case of the most expensive dolls Is real human hair used. V.

On the way to rbllre nnd the bend of the cataract, a short distance south of Assouan, we come upon the ancient quarries which supplied the granite for the columns, statues nnd obelisks throughout Egypt for many centuries. An obelisk which we saw lies In Its native bed. It Is 03 feet In length, ami three sides have been carefully cut, but for some unknown reason It was never separated entirely from the par ent rock. The surface bears the tool marks of the workmen. The grooves In It show that It was to have been re duced at the sides. It was supposed that the stone was split from Its bed by drilling, holes In the rock and filling them with wooden wedges, which were afterward saturated with water, the swelling wood furnishing the power. From illustrations In the temples It Is clenr that these great monuments were floated down the river on flnthonts nnd rafts and then carried Inland by arti ficial cannls or dragged overland by thousands of slaves. In one of the tombs nt Renl-IIassan Is a picture Il lustrating the process. The great stone Is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a multitude of workmen. One man Is en gaged In pouring water upon the run ners to prevent friction; another stands nt the left of the statue and beats time, thnt the men may work tn unison, while overseers, provided with whips, urge the laborers to their task. What king desired to extricate this block from the quarry, why It was left here. What It was to commemorate, we can never know. The riddle of the sphinx Is solved, but the riddle of the obelisk In the quarry will no doubt remain with us forever. Chnutauquan.

'A Chinaman In Hnn Francisco," says a Rosslper In the Philadelphia Record, "showed me once an Ivory ball as big as your two fists, with six smaller balls Inside It It was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. The Chinaman said, that the balls bad been begun by his grandfather and that he was the third generation to work on thetn. He told ine how the work was done. "It begins with a solid block of Ivory, which Is turned Into a ball and then carved In a latticed pattern with tiny saw toothed knives. Through the lat tice, with other knives that are bent In various shapes, the second ball Is carv ed, but ts kept fast to the first one by a thin strip of Ivory left at the top and by another left nt tho bottom. Then the third ball, with still finer knives. Is tackled through the first and second ones, nnd so the work goes on till all the balls are finished, when the strips thnt hold them firm nre cut away, and they all revolve freely, one Inside the other. "This Chinaman said It waa a com mon thing for families to have such balls for hundreds of years grandfa ther, father, son and grandson working on them when they bad nothing else to do. They are priceless, of course. Some cheap balls nre mndo of vegetable Ivo ry, being enrved while the material Is soft like a potato. These, though, are not worth more than a few dollars at the most" Tho Evolajttoa of th Pocket. The ancient wore a single pouch at his belt.

How long before there may be pockets In our gloves for there are, I believe, patents covering this Invention nnd In our shoes? The enne also, with Its screw top, begins to be a useful receptacle. Two centuries from now, so the mnn with a long foresight enn clearly see, the main Idea underlying the wearing of clothes will have entirely changed. The chief purpose of gnrments will no longer be considered to protect the body. They will be regarded first of all as textile foundations for Innumerable pockets. Tudor Jenks In Woman's Home Companion. Took a Mean Advaataara. A supernumerary In Itlcbard Mans field's company who had been, to use A Scotch phrase, continuously aud con tinually "heckled" by the manager at rehearsals and between the acts for al leged displays of stupidity on tbe stage, was Informed that a near relative of his had departed this life and bnd left blm a competence, so he decided to leave tbe dramatic profession and, to quote him, become rcspectnblo. Before leaving he determined to take bis re venge on Mansfield for the attacks on bis amour propre that gentleman bad made. Tbe play was "Richard III," and tbe auper waa one of the soldiers who led away the Duke of Buckingham when the king orders his demise. In due time Richard remarked, "Off with bis head!" and this was tbe su per's opportunity. Advancing, he touched bis helmet In the stylo of a footman and replied loudly and genial ly: "That'll be attended to, old chap. We'll take care of old Buck. It'll be all right!"

There are tnuny curious things about X rays which seem to puzzle even tbe scientists. Slgnor Brlgultl, who bas been making experiments with them at Rome, says that tbe visibility of a sub stance to the eye Is no criterion of its visibility to the X rays. Tbe rays can not see through glass, which Is trans parent to the eye, whereas aluminium, wblcb ts opaque to the eye. Is transpar ent to tbe X ray. The rays can see a splinter of glass In tbe band, but not A splinter of wood. Most luks are trans parent to tbe rays. Including printer's Ink. but some of them are opaque. Tbe rays can see through a postofSce direct ory, but If a paper with words written on It be put In tbe middle of tbe direct ory tbe rays will reveal these words And nothing beblnd them. Hot tbe Baaa Viol Maa'a Fa alt. A capital story relating to good old times Is still told In tbe Fen district of tbe eastern counties. As Is well known by many and even now remem bered by some, a bass viol was often procured to help tbe choirs In parish churches. One lovely Sunday morning In tbe Bummer, while tbe parson was droning out his drowsy discourse and bad about reached tbe middle a big bull managed to escape from bis pasture and march ed majestically down the road, bellow ing defiantly as be enmo. Tbe parson, who was somewhat deaf, beard tbe bull bellow, but mistaking tbe origin of tbe sound, gravely glanced toward tbe singers' seats and said In tones of reproof; "I would thank tbe musicians not to tune up durluif service time. It annoys me very much." ' As may well be Imagined, th choir looked greatly surprised, but said noth ing. Very soon, however, tbe belligerent bull gave another bellow, and then the aggrieved parson became desperately indignant Cassell'a Magazine. A MoantKln Areldtnt.
