All Day Long--Toymakers Are Showing Some Remarkable Novelties, London, Dec. 14.--England undenia- bly is beginning to feel the pinch of hard times, but this fact does not seem to affect in the least the Christ- mas trade in the metropolis. The last week has broWght people to town in thousands, and the West End shop- ping districts are crowded. Respend- ing to the demand for toys, France, Germany and Russia have sent tons of ingenious knick-knacks and play- things, which quite overshadow the British made articles. France sends thousands and thousands of daintily dressed dolls to London, but by far the largest quantities of the cheaper tin and wooden toys come from Ger- many, where, at Sonneberg and sover- al other cities, the bulk of the popu- lation is engaged in turning -ut the tin and leaden soldiers, - Noah's arks and other familiar playthings, all of which bear the stamp, "made in Ger- many." The toy makers certainly keep abreast of the times, as is evidenced by the up-to-date novelties seen on the Christmas Shopping is Pro- THE PROPHECY The Shops Are Simply Crowded Norway Pine Syrup Cures Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, és ness, Croup, Asthma, r Tightness In the Chest, Ete. g to the lungs. the well-known Gal not I would almost choke to death.

THERE IS NO SURER OR BETTER shop counters and in the windows this year. Among other things are perfect little automobiles, automobile boats, men-of-war and air-ships that resemble the models of Santos Dumont's inven- tions and appear to fly equally as well. The British royal family holds an old-time celebration on Christuias day. Nowhere will the festive season be more thoroughly a family function than at Sandringham, where the queen has never missed having a Christmas tree. Included in the family gathering will be the children of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and a number of other royal offspring, whose fathers and mothers used to enjoy the same Yule-tide festivities as guests of Queen Victoria at Osborne house. In society circles the five-foot fir on the dinner table will he replaced by a neat dwarf shrub, and from its frost- ed branches will hang the most mod- ern packages, containing perhaps dia- monds in one forth or another, gold thimbles, a jeweled heart, pins or earrings. No one in all England is fonder of giving presents than King Edward and no one displays better taste in their selection. To his many intimate friends he gives dainty little jeweled pencil cases of enamel, tartoise shell and diamond knick-knacks, bangles and uncommon lucky charms. Cigar cases and cigarette holders are also among his favorite gifts. Queen Alex- andra usually remembers her favored late Queen Victoria she takes pleasure in remembering her household servants and the tenants at Sandringham, Windsor and other royal estates with useful presents such as articles of wear. The king and queen always in- clide among their Christmas gifts lib- eral donations to their favorite chari- ties, including hospitals; homes for the ages and other public institutions. The king and queen of Italy bought a number of Christmas presents while in London. In addition to exauisite gifts for some of their most intimate friends the roval trunks took back to Italy, some English dolls and other playthings to delight Princess Yolande and her 'baby sister. Meantime Christmas shopping is go- ing on even more briskly than last week, which is rather remarkable, as it was predicted that the holiday trade this year would be dull. At pre- sent the shops are simply impossible to getvinto. Some of the big ones are almost impossible 'to get out of, and when the task is accomplished it is al ways with a much lighter purse. Par- ticularly crowded are the army and navy stores, Harrod's and other well- known places. Fashionably dressed members of his family. 1¢ home from sc! their' shouts and laughter, the presi romps. y Of course the strictest secrecy is maintained as to what the Roosevelt children ave likely to find in their stockings Christmas morning, but the tastes of the youngsters are so well known that it is not difficult to guess the nature of the gifts they are likely to receive from their parents. Miss Ethel Kas not yet outgrown her doll days and a handsome addition to her family of make-believes will probably delight her eyes Christinas morning. Little Quintin, also, will be the reei- pient of a variety of toys and play- things, among them a number of the mechanical sort, of which he is espe- cially fond. Archibald scorns suth knick-knacks, and Chiistmas is not Christmas to him unless he finds some- thing alive among his presents. He bas expressed a desire, jt is said, for a bear or an alligator, but it is hardly likely that these additions will bo made to his menagerie, which al ready includes ponies, dogs, sheep and a variety of other pets. 'Theodore, Jr., is rapidly approach- ing the grown-up age. He is fond of outdoor sports, including hunting, fishing, football and boating, and his Christmas gifts will be such as to gratify his tastes in this direction. lieing - naturally devoted to reading and study, he does not allow his taste for sport to interfere, and books are always welcome presents for him. It is not known just what Miss Alice Roosevelt is 'to reecive, hut it was no- ticed that Mrs, Roosevelt, during her late visit to New York, was a visitor at a large Broadway jewelry estab- izhment. Mrs. Roosevelt is an exquisite needle woman and is also an adept in fash- kerchiefs, filmy lace collars and little arti ls, whose value will be greatly enhanced ly the fact that the work is the product of hee skilful fingers. Dur- ing the present week a number of packages' wil be despatched by Mrs. Roosevelt 'to friends abroad or 'in dis: tant parts of the United States, They will be earefully timed to reach their destination at the opportune moment. Following the established precedent the 'cabinet women will present Mrs. Roosevelt with a handsome gift. None of the ladies fecl free to disclose its nature, hut it is sure to be something beautifvl and costly. The members of the cabinet wiil probably make indi- vidual gifts to the president. A Pleasant "" At Home." Among the beautiful pictures that will hang on mewory's wall, will be one of a very pleasant and successful annual Christmas holiday "At Home" tendered by Miss McAuley, to about fifty young ladies and getlemen, in her rooms on King street, Saturday night, Dancing commenced about nine o'clock and everything seemed to lend its fer- vent sway to the success of the even- ing's pastime, while nothing proved irksome to make each one present feel perfectly at home. Miss McAuley's sister ably assisted at the piano. One particular feature was the insignia, "Welcome," in large cut letters, inter- spersed with artificial leaves, that graced the hall and lent a pleasant re- fi tothe eve A consignment of cutters and acquaintances with her photographs, The. valestk be, i . sleighs from the west reached the city tastefully framed in chiselled gilt and | .

The party dispersed about midnight, and though the beau- tiful weather of the first part 'of the night had faded into a slight rain fall, 'still, the unpleasantness of going home in the rain was soon lost to mind considering the pleasure of the evening, for which the young men pre- sent 'wish to express their hearty thanks to Miss McAuley and her lady friends who assisted. . -------- Some Pumpkins Now, Toronto Star . few years ago Canada was little prized by Great Britain, and 'trade proposals made to Washington were rejected without courtesy. To-day England is discussing the abandon ment of her free trade policy to draw Canada closer to her, and the United States, for the first time in her his. tory, begins to worry about her trade with us--begins to value it, and to puzzle how at least cost she 'can re tain it. ---- 0 E and as a consequence Christmas is always a joyous octasion for all the is strictly a family celebration.

He declared, jt is said, that unless Jones deposited $50,000 at o designated point by that time next night Mrs. Jones would be dead. Mrs. Jones was taken a fow miles further and locked 'in the basement of a deserted school-house. She escaped next morning. Meantime her husband had notified the sheriff and Leuth was arrested as a suspect after a brief in- vestigation. ---- INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.
