lcaUlons show that tho children ot
ancient Egypt played with them Jusl
as do those of today. V..at Is more,
these tos of three or four thousands
of j ears past are Just about as good
as tno80 ot haf aB many hundred
years ago. Tho children of tho Phar-
aons were in tho matter of toys about
as well off as were tho little ones ol
tho Puritans. It Is recently, Indeed,
that the art of toymaklng has become
so elaborate, after remaining for gen
cratlon after generation almost sta
tlonary. Dolls and animals were cut
out for young Egypt, and queer boats
were fashioned with tho greatest care.
At least ono olaborato sedan chair,
with a lady insido who can bo taken
out, has been dug up. This, however,
Is less ancient than tho dolls, and
dates back only to tho Roman invasion
of Egypt. It was tho custom to bury
n child's toys In ItH gravo thousands
of j ears afterward to bo dug up nnd
put In museums, but not, it Is hoped
without a slglt for tho llttlo life thnt
went out ages ago, or for tho weeping
mother whoso hands placed her dar
ling's tojs besido his tiny body.

children of ancient Egypt like those

'
There are eight different s stems
of taxation In force In tho Territory
of Hawaii and n glance nt them shows
that n majority distinctly has no placo
whatever under a Territorial taxation
sjstem, but Is simply pitchforked In
there because of the lack of progres-
Blon of the Terrltorj toward tho moro
advanced form of municipal jovern-
ment. It Is a pitiable spcctaclo io see,
metaphorically the heads of tho va-
rlous burenus, from the Presidential
appointees down, going roumi with
their hats In their hands tp collect
carriage taxes, cart nnd dray taxes,
wnter taxes, gelitlenmp and lady dog
