Toy-Land.
"Wood-carving is the chief occupation
of many a mountain village both in the
Tvrol and in Switzerland; but in no place
lias it been carried to greater perfection
or been ntered into more thoroughly
by the inhabitants than at St. Ulrich.
Ona branch of it, indeed, the manufacture
of wooden toys, particularly dolls, may
be considered almost a specialty of the
district; for the little town of St. Ulrich
is the great storehouse from -which the
chief toy-traders of Europe, we might al
most say of the world, draw those rich
and inexhaustible supplies which brighten
po many nurseries and gladden the hearts
of so many little ones. The art is said to
have been introduced into the valley about
the beginning of the last century, since
which time it has been the principal em
ployment of the inhabitants, male and
female, young and old alike; for ancient
grandfathers and grandmothers m-iy be
seen steadily pursuing the vocation that
has been theirs from their earliest years;
and as soon as the little boys or girls can
be safely trusted with knives, they begin
their rude endeavors to carve the form of
some animal or toy which is the particu
lar liDe of their lamilv- This is one of
the odd things in connection with the
trade, that, as a general rule, each family
or group of families has its own s-peciil
department, from -which tliey do not de
viate. Some catve, some paint, some
gild; tlie pointers olt-n working only in
one particular color; while th; carvers
constantly slick to the manufacture of
one or two, or at the most of half a dozen
aiima's, of certain toys or certain por
tions of toys and dolls, and so on through
all the endless ramifications of their Lil
lipution industry. It is a most curious
si "lit to watch them at work. Thy us-i
no models, and work entirely by rule of
thumb; long practice having made them
so perfect that they turn out the tiny ar
ticles with jut the slightest hesitation,
every one as precisely atike as if they had
been cast in a mould. In this way are
manufactured the varied collection of an
imals fouud in Noah's Ark. Some fami
lies will cut out lions, tigers, camels, ele
phants; others, sheep, oxen and deer;
others, chielly birds; while another group
will produce the wonderfully dressed lit
tle men and women popularly supposed
to represent Xoah and his seven human
companions. The coloring of thee pro
ducts ns is quite another branch of the
trade; and while the carving goes on at
all times with unabated regularity, the
painting of the various articles id only
udded as they are required; that i-, when
orders come from the toy dealers; and
this frequently varies according to cir
cumstances; 8 that the coloring fnd
gilding business is not on the whole so
steady and profitable as the carving.
There are several shops and warehouses
where the articles thus manufactured are
sold; but there are two leading merchants
who act as wholesale exporters, buying
the carved work either from the people
themselves, or from minor agent?, who
realize a small profit by acting as middle
men. Permission can readily be obtained
to visit those establishments; and it is a
curious and amusing sight to walk
through the extraordinary collection of
dolls and toys gathered together under
one roof. The dolls are in themselves a
very wonderful exhibition. There are
rooms upon rooms quite filled with them,
of every size and style, small and large,
p unted and unpainted; their size varying
from tiny atoms scarcely an inch long, to
huge figures of nearly a yard in length,
mot or them jointed, and the greater
part uncolorcd, and just as they came
i from the hands of the carver. They are
carefully sorted, according to their va
rious sizes; and great shelves and cases
in every direction are crammed with
them. Some sizes are more popular than
others, a very favorite length being about
two inches; of this size one of the great
doll merchants of St. Ulrich buys thirty
thousand every week during the whole
year. The makers of this kind can turn
out about twenty dozn a day, each skill
ful worker; the painting being quite an
after concern, with which the carvers
have nothing to do. Here also are bins
filled with w ooden animal?', also of differ
ent sizes and different degrees of excel
lence; for while some are merely roughly
shaped and the production often of very
young children, others are carved with
very great care and dexterity, and are
faithful representations of the creatures
they are intended to imitate. All the
numerous toys with w hich we are familiar
in the shop-;, or which we have played
with in childhood, here first spring into
beiug. North's Arks, empty and full;
armies of wooden soldiers on horseback
and on foot ; farmyards of various dimen
sions, stored with every article needful
for the juvenile agriculturist; dolls' fur
niture of every size and pattern; sets of
tea-cups and saucers, and all kinds of do
mestic utensils; little wooden horses, lit
tle wooden carts. In short, it is toys,
toj-s everywhere; and even with all our
experience of the capacity of children for
acquiring such poss-es-ions, it is really
difficult to credit the fact that this enor
mous manufacture and unceasing distri
bution go on, like the poet's brook, '-for
ever." Chambers' Journal.
Trutitfcl and Obedient. "Charley,

"D.m t go yet !" "Have it out!" "Just

'1 must go, right off, this minute. I

"Jlnke believe you didn't hear!" they

"But I did hear."
"She'll never kuow you did."
"But' I know it, and"
"Let Lim go," said a bystander. "You

"Yes," said Charley, "and there is
where every boy ought to be tied; and in
a hard knot, too."
"But I wouldn't be such a baby to run

"I don't call it babyish to keep oue's

iui ugni glowing in ins eyes. "1 call it

The Rotterdam Gardens.
Here we are in Rotterdam. We guess
we are in Holland from the aspect of the
country through which we have been
passing, and we know this must be one
of its principal cities from the bustle and
evidences of business activity which we
see about us. How odd the people look 1
What queer costumes and droll figures
they seem to our stranger eyes. ""That
woman there with her wooden shoes, her
clean white linen and fancy head-dress
what a sensation she would create if sud
denly transported and set down in the
streets of Boston just as she is !
But as we are bound for the Hague
and Amsterdam, let us find our way to
the railroad station. How narrow and
clean the streets are, and how strange it
seems to see the vessels at the doors of
the warehouses in the center of the city.
There is a young man, clerk probably
of the establishment, leauing from the
window of the counting-room and talking
with the Dutch skipper on the very deck
of his vessel. It seems convenient to
have tilings literally at one's door as they
are here.
This bridge is a draw-bridge, and
through that one yonder they are passing
an un wieldly canal-boat. The skipper,
with his farmly, lives on board ; and there,
near the stern, sits the mother, knitting
away, while rne who may be the oldest
boy stands at the tiller and guides the
crntt as it creeps along. About the deck
toddles the baby, and the little ones ap
pear perfectly at home in their floating
dwelling.
This is the railroad s'atiou ; but as it is
some time before the train will start, let
us step into these gardens opposite. We
enter a broad avenue extending a long
distance before us, shaded by trees of all
varieties, from whose branches depend
Ciiges containing birds of rare and bril
liant plumage, which represent the feath
ered foresters of all parts of the world.
They greet us with shrill cries, especially
the green paroquet there whose voice
seems to pierce one s head.
On our leu at some distance is the res
taurant of the garden an open-air cafe
where are served soda-waters and light
wines, together with ices and cake3. It
appears to be well patronized, and a good
military band dispenses music in a really
artistic and acceptable manner.
Now we approach the aviaries. In
these large cages, constructed of coarse
wire netting, the meshes, of course, beiug
too fine to permit the escape of the small
est inmate, are conhned birds of all spe
cies and climes from the representative
of the Russians to the golden-plume J ca
nary of the tropics. They flit about from
perch to perch, and chirp and siug mer
rily, seemingly free as air, but neverthe
less captives.
In the adjoining compartment are kept
the long-legged flamingo and secretary-
bird. See the one in the corner; what an
odd figure he cuts standing on one leg
with the other foot resting on his knee,
while the quills on his head have the ap
pearance of a pen behind the ear of a hu
mau notary or book-keeper! They have
a most sober, and at the same time,
mirth-provoking aspect as they 6tand
there for minutes without ever moving a
feather, but all the while their sharp eyes
snap so brightly.
Notice that one drinking. As he
stretches his long neck and dips his bill
into the water, then raises his head and
apparently "smacks his lips," he seems to
enjoy his draught full as much as those
Dutchmen at the table yonder do their
lager. It would be better for them no
doubt if they knew no stronger beverage
than that which our flamingo in his Caere
sips and is content with.
Here are thefledi eaters, the ba'd-eagle
and the fierce vulture, together with the
raven and carrion crow. They present as
different appearance from their long
legged neighbors as could well be im
agined, as they sit on the branches of the
trees and gaze at the spectators with sav
age eves. They are useful creatures
though, and however unpleasant they
may appear, should be treated kindly.
But what is this? Have we stumbled
on to the ruin of some ancient castle, or
is it a fanciful structure erected to give
variety to the scene? It appears to be
the former but it is the latter; a clever
imitation of an old tower, which has
fallen to pieces through storm or assault,
while the dark stones have become cov
ered with a green mantle of beautiful and
and graceful creepers totally concealing
the structure itseit.
The rays of the sun are reflected, and
glint from a thousand brilliant surfaces
w hich sparkle like diamonds. This beau
tiful effect is produced by pieces of glass
whic h nave beeu mixed in with the com
position of which the ruin is made. How
beautiful and picturesque it looks! It
carries us back a hundred years, remind
ing us of the stories we used to read.
But the time approaches for the train
to start and we must leave the place. We
do so with a feeling that the hour has
been well spent, and with most pleasant
remembrances of the Zoological Gardens

she felt she dared not undertake the

of his long trouble and suspense overtook
him. He became suddenly insane, and
after months of illness of body and mind
he died. The calamity was airoravated
to her by the unaccountable insults she
received fiom his family, whom she had

Martineau was always thankful that she
never married. She never afterward was
tempted nor suffered anything in relation
to that matter which is held to be all
important to woman love and marriage.

The Analysis of the Diamond.

solid diamond had in some way been dis- j
solved by the water, and that by evapor
ating the water, which was in the lo wer !
part of the bell jar iu w hich he burnt his
diamond, he might obtain the constitu
ents of the diamond in a solid form; but
he found that no solid re?idue was left on
evaporation, and thus no trace of the dia
mond could be found.
His next experiment was that of plac
ing a diamond in the focus of a less pow
erful lens than the one he had formerly
used, so that the diamond was not heated
to so high a temperature as before, again
placing it, however, in a bell jar over wa
ter. He then found that the diamond,
when not heated quite so strongly, lost
only about one quarter of its weight; it
did not disappear altogether, but the re
markable fact was noticed that it became
covered w ith a black substance which La
voisier describes as being exactly like
lampblack or soot, so that it dirtied the
fingers when touched, and made a black
mark upon paper.
Hence Lavoisier concluded that the
diamond is susceptible of being brought,
under certain circumstances, into the con
dition of charcoal, so that it really belongs
to the class of combustible bodies. He
was, however, yet far from having proved
this point, and he went on experiment
ing. He next measured the volume of
air in which he was going to burn the
diamond, and found it to be eight cubic
inches. Then be burned the diamond in
this volume of air by means of a lens,
and found that the air had diminished
to a volume of six cubic inches, thus
showing that the air had uudergone some
change by the combustion of the dia
mond, and that two out of the eight vol
umes of air had disappeared.
The next experiment he male wns to
examine the condition of the air in which
the diamond had been evaporated. What
changes had gone on iu the air in conse
quence ot the evaporation ot the dia
mond ( After allotting ihtt glass iu which
he had burnei the diainonl to stand for
four days, he poured clear lime water into
the jar in which the diamond had been
evaporated, and he says this lime water
w as at once precipitated la the same man
ner as if it had been brought into contact
with the gas evolved in effervescence and
fermentation, or that given off in cases
of metallic reduction. Here, then, he had
got on the track of what he wanted.
Hitherto the diamoud had apparently dis
appeared, and nothing wa9 found to ac
count for its disappearance; but now he
had found that there was something con
tained in that air before.
The next step he took was to examine
the white precipitate or powder which
was toriued, and he lound that the nub
stance thus precipitated from lime water,
by the air in which the diamond had been
evaporated, effervesced on treatment with
acid, and evolved what was then kuown
as fixed air, but which we now know as
carbonic acid gas. Here, then, in his la-.t
experiment he completes his proof, show
ing that exactly the same effects are ob
served when charcoal is experimented
upon, instead of diamond.
Lavoiier had now run his quarry to
earth; he had determined exactly what it
is that is formed when a diamond is
burned. He has shown that a diamond
when burned produces exactly the same
substance that is produced when com
mon charcoal is burned, and he, therefore,
legitimately concludes that diamond is
only another form of the element carbon.
The reason that the diamond did not burn
in the furnace when surrounded by a muss
of charcoal, w as that the air, or rather the
oxygen of the air, could not get to the
diamond, because it was kept off by the
charcoal, which burned instead of the
diamoud. Professor lioscoe.

"May I see my boy, sir?"
She was thiu and w an, her clothes wre
poor but neat, and the trouble in her eyes
showed that her heart was very heavy.
"You can," said the officer, kindly.
She went into the corridor aud sat
where the shadow covered her face. - The
tired head went against the wall, and the
eyes were closed, liut betw een the lashes
a drop or two forced their way, as if a
misery was there that could break the
bonds of pride or the courage of patient
su tiering.
The turnkey brought him in, and f r

look in his eyes, but when he saw that
