18 111 BIS Wt TOYS OF THE PRINCELY CHILDREN PASS ON FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION BOYS PLAY AT SOLDIERING Familiarized From Their Infancy With the Aspect and Working of the Tools of Grim- Ylsag-ed War. Of all the branches' of the English roy al family, an English writer remarks, the Battenberg is the most unassuming in its manners and the simplest in its way of living. The children of very many commoners' families are brought up with I infinitely more state than the Batten bergs, and in luxury that would open the eyes of these princes and princesses. Rare and valuable toys were never seen in the Battenberg nursery; the children had to content themselves with plain story books, scrap books, gardening uten sils, cheap dolls and such toys as all cf us played with when we were young. * * * The Duchess of Albany has al ways had the strictest ideas with regard to toys for her children and has specially directed their minds toward the animal world in choosing their playthings and playfellows. A very amusing photograph is that of Prince Arthur of Connaught in the toy uniform of a grenadier. It was thus he appeared at Princess Beatrice's wedding. The solemn, almost stern, expression on his fat little face is delightful. He fully appreciates the dignity his uniform im parts.

J_f~"The greatest bargains in good Silk Petticoats ever oftcic-.: . 7 those top : shelves' to which they f were. relegated long ago, during the holidays at 1. Osborne, and for as " long as the holi days•' the children of i! thes younger r gen eration . are allowed 'to play ' "with them., This is •■ an anxious time for the nurses, for they are • held responsible for the safety of the relics and extreme care Is taken in order to preserve the old toys, for the queen is very fond of them, re members each one, and asks for any which may not happen to appear. There is a fortress which was an espe cial favorite with the Prince of Wales. It has been played' with during the Christmas holidays many a time by the late Duke of Clarence and the Duke of York when they were boys, and Is now looked at with intense interest by the baby blue eyes of the Duke of York's children. The little brass guns of this fortress were mounted in their present position by the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, whose fin gers were always apt at delicate work, from the driving of a screw to the wield ing of a violin bow. Some of the me chanical animals, which were much rarer toys ln the fifties than they are now, can still be made to work, and the little fat hands are clapped with joy in the Osborne nursery today when a woolly dog ambles along the floor with ungainly leaps, and the skin elephant moves his trunk up and down, while the mouth opens and shuts. These give as keen a sense of delight to the third or fourth generation as they did to the little ones in the Wind sor nursery long ago. There Is a certain bagatelle board which the queen's' sons played with. It is often brought out for the children in the Christmas holidays. • . No less than the kaiser's children, thoso of the Russian imperial family undergo a military education, and are from earliest years familiarized, through the medium of toys and picture books, with the work ing of guns, the uniforms of various reg iments, and the*- military history of their country. Needless to say, the toys of the -Ger man imperial family are military in char acter, and their taste is shared by the little king of Spain. . * -' -LI . L THE ST.

Metal, wood, straw and bread have been used, and the clocks have ranged in size from towering giants of ten- feet high, intended for. halls and public buildings, down to timepieces so minute that they could be placed in a small wine glass. Although M. : Boullat sells these pro ducts of his i skill, nevertheless, the mak ing of them is, in a sense, a fad. A tal ented horologist; and fairly, well-to-d>, he long since wearied of the ordinary work attached >to his trade, and began experimenting on the . production of new and unusual-, designs. ■, His workshlp is a veritable treasure trove of odd mechani cal marvels, many of his productions grace the salons iof; some of the wealthi est people. in France. Two of'M."BouUat's latest triumphs are a clock made of wood and one fashioned entirely of old' newspapers.: The first of ' these he calls; a "rustic : clock," and :fn' appearance It Is a curious compound ol? great rough logs, twigs and pieces of wire. .JjA-t \ first; glance nothing much more tiifferent from a clock \ could be imagined, but on closer inspection it is evident: to : the ? practiced ; eye that the wooden mass,- though rough and crude, is a perfect timepiece, constructed on scientific principles and with -a.' skill that reflects credit'" on" its creator.; ''Y:TT:- The wooden clock'-.possesses*..all the necessary-parts, although they are : sim ple," almost'primitive. Two small logs of firewood, fastened crosswise, consti tute the base, and. two upright . sticks, solidly connected at top and bottom, serve for the connection of the arbors. The mechanism consists of a motor weight, a four-armed wheel and escape ment rack, a pendulum and two pulleys, one of which has a crank and handle for winding. A dial and hands, with the dial work, complete the ensemble. YtJY. nearly.all OF WOOD.. All is of wood, except the wheel range of the rack, which is of metal. The mo [ torweight is suspended from the drum of the four-armed wheel which occupies the central part of the clock. , The . force : is transmitted to the pendulum, and; tne motion work by a wire, four and a half . meters in length, J rolled on one hand \on the arbor of . the - rack, and on the other attached to one of the arms of the wheel. ',' The • pendulum is attached to a wire, of which the length, is regulated .by means of a- pin at the top of the frame. The : winding Is effected by means of a pulley placed at the lower part of the construc tion : and connected with the axis: of the escapement wheel by an endless wire. The motion ; work is operated with the aid of a pinion of three leaves acting on a cannon \pinlon of : seventy-two teeth, i which* revolves once ; an" hour. This ' pin ion is lon i the . arbor' of ;; the escapement rack, so that the latter, makes twenty four revolutions an hour; *as. as it has *120 teeth, the virtual length of the pendu lum la about 30.6 centimeters.- The wheel revolves once In four hours. The clock keeps excellent time, and does not vary more than two minutes in ! a week, are remarkable result when the ■ character of the construction is taken. ] u:to consideration. MADE OF NEWSPAPERS. s Equally wonderful is the clever French i man's "newspaper clock." This is made entirely from old newspapers, case, pen dulum, dial wheels and all the operating mechanism. A quantity of old newspa-« pers collected at random was made into pulp, mixed with certain chemicals . and , hardening substances and baked hard. In j this condition it was as hard as steel, ; but • extremely brittle * and difficult to j • work. > Nevertheless, by. great ; care and the use of specially prepared tools, Boul lat was able to cut out the. posts, wheels, teeth, etc. The pendulum rod and other, large pieces were made by casting j into .moulds. The newspaper clock does not run with the same : accuracy as its rustic rival, but under the circumstances the wonder is that ft goes at all. A clock made entirely of straw attract jed general attention some ' years ago. M. ' j . Boullat; frequently receives commissions. j from wealthy "Parlsiennes to execute j * clocks in precious metal I and stones. •He ! ;: has made them entirely: of go'dand sil- I ver, with diamond tipped, hands, and; ! ■——- ussifrilinsisi i»i ftfntm.nr Comet millinery!
