GERMAN TOYMAKERS SUFFER.
Nearly Two-thirds of Business Lost
Because of War.
Perhaps no single industry in Ger-
many has suffered so much from the
war as that of toy -making. In the
last peace year Germany's toy trade
aggregated 140,000,000 marks ($35,-
000,000), of which more than $25,000,-
000
25,000;000 was export and the larger part
to America. Since the war this figure
has dropped nearly two-thirds. What
is worse still for the German manu-
facturers is the fact that other coun-
tries have taken up this industry and
the Germans will find it very hard to
recover their lost markets.
In 1913 the top exports to the
United States amounted to nearly
$10,000,000, but since then, owing to
the British blockade, the volume of
trade has sunk to perhaps less than
I one-fourth of this sum. The neutral
states, Holland, Denmark, Sweden
and Norway, have bought more toys,
but their increased trade has failed to
make up the loss of the transatlantic
business. Austria-Hungary, too, has
*taken more toys and the home trade
has been much better. But in spite of
all •this the total shrinkage in the an
nual turnover is estimated at between
,60 and 70 per cent.
It is said that 1,500 kinds of Ger-
man toys are now being made in Eng-
land and aye being sold at the •same
prices as the original articles. In
France the trade is being pushed rap-
idly, and one factory alone has al-
ready made over $1,000,000 worth of
dolls. A French bank has been spe-
cially organized to promote the inter-
ests of the toy trade. The Japanese
competition, too, is greatly feared,
especially in the American market.

Proved His Point,
The old Scotch professor was try-
''ing to impress upon his students the
value of observation.
"No," he complained, "ye dinna use
your faculties of observation. - Ye
dinna use 'em. For instance--"
Picking up a pot of chemicals of
horrible odor, he stuck his finger into
ib, and then into his mouth.
"Taste of it, gentlemen," he com-
manded, as he passed the pot from
student to student.
After each had licked a finger ane
had felt a rebellion through his whole
soul, the old professor laughed in
triumph.
"I told ye so!" he shouted. "Ye
dinia use your faculties of observa-
tion! For if ye had observed ye
would ha' seen that the finger which
I stuck into the pot was na the finger

When BuyingWinter Woolens.
This year the housewife is facing an i
unusual situation. The war abroad
has changed conditions in so many
manufacturing lines that a totally new
revision of values and prices must be
made by a prospective buyer, and in
no other instance is this so true a$ in
bhe buying of woolens and blankets,
as the immense drain on all woolen
mills fpr blankets and outfits' for sol-
diers of the warring nations has raised
the prices and made adulteration.more
common. What, first, is the difference
between woolen and worsted? Per-
haps many a housekeeper does not
know, but there is a real and technical
difference. Wool or woolen yarn is
made from short fibers, twisted bo
give a fuzzy appearance; worsted is
made from long fibers which are comb-
' ed to lie straight and that are tightly
twisted. It takes almost ten times
as long to make worsted goods as it
dose woolen goods, and hence bhe
worsted is better and also much cost-
lier, and, of course, wears better.
Need of Information.
When the average woman buys mit-
t tens or sweaters or blankets, what
knowledge does she employ? The ma-
terial may contain "shoddy." This is
"regenerated" wool made from tailors'
scraps woolengarmentsp and old
pul-
led apart d
bymachineryand Combe
until it can be respun. A material
containing a good deal of "shoddy"
will crease easily, has a "dead," sticky
feeling, and the fibers break off sharp-
ly when pulled. "Shoddy" is a neces-
sity, because there isn't now enough
pure wool to go around; but at least
a woman should know for what she is
paying, and not pay a pure -wool price
for waste.
All woolens are also adulterated
with cotton. Of course, we cannot
buy- a parb of a garment to test, but
if it is any kind of yard goods, the
burning test is excellent. To do this,
buy five cents worth of caustic soda at
the drug store; it comes in small
sticks. Place a cup of water in a
small agate_ saucepan, add a two-inch
stick of sodium, and when this solu-
tion is boiling add a sample of the
suspected dress goods. If the sam-
ple is "all -wool," it will have entire-
ly disappeared in about a twenty -min-
ute boiling; whatever remains is cote
ton, generally seen in a mass of tangl-
ed mesh. ...
To test endurance of cloth: Press
the two thumbs together on cloth and
then pull material straight out, first
warp way, then filling way; if it tears
or frays, it shows lack of strength.
To discover if material will stand
strain at seams, the threads should
be tested to see if they move easily. If
the threads can be pushed easily it
will fray when strain is applied.
The breaking strength of yarn
should be tested, and also the differ-
ence between the warp and filling
threads; a weak warp will be broken
if a heavy filling thread is inserted in
it,
Close, firm weaves are usually en-
during; loose, open ones are apt to
catch and pull out of shape.
Testing Blankets.
Buying blankets is a real test of a
woman's intelligence, for in no other
line are there so many deceptions, so
many ostensible "all -wools," or is the
work of finding out quality so difficult.
Blankets should never be bought in
any but the most reputable store, as
high-class stores will give a better
guarantee of quality from the outset.
But now to tell "all -wool" from cot-
ton, or part -cotton and the other pro-
portions: First, a certain mixture of
cotton in' a blanket is not a deception,
but makes the blanket .wash better,
only the buyer should know it is pres-
ent. A ninety per cent wool filling on a
cotton warp is an excellent grade. A
real wool blanket is yellow and not
pure white. It will feel genuinely
"soft" and smell a real animally smell..

keeps the oysters cold.
Oysters and Macaroni. -Use one pint
oysters, three-fourths cup macaroni
(broken in one -inch pieces), salt, pep-
per and flour, one-half cup buttered
crumbs, one-fourth cupful butter. Cook
macaroni in boiling salted water un-

ters, sprinkle with salt and pepper,

Select large, plump oysters, drain and
place on a board. Dry each one care-
fully with a piece of soft cheese-
cloth and dust with salt and pepper.
To every dozen oysters allow one egg,
the white and yolk beaten together
with one tablespoonful of warm water,
Dip the oysters first in fine bread
crumbs, then into egg, then back into
the crumbs. Be careful to keep the
crumbs dry and the egg free from

dipped the desired numbers. When
ready to fry have a • goodsized pan
half-filled with fat or oil, which is best.
When oil cannot be had use half suet
and half lardnor half suet and half oil.
Drop a piece of bread into the fat;
if it le brown in twenty seconds it

oysters in the frying basket and
plunge them into the fat. As soon as
they are a golden brown lift the bas-

imagine once a week cleaning out the devout
drinking vessels is all that is neces-
sary. Do it every day.". That is good
advice as far as it goes, but on a large
poultry plant if the drinking vessels
were cleaned out once a week it would
be a good thing. The trubh is that the
drinking vessels are too much neglect-
ed. With cleaner vessels and cleaner
houses there would be less cry of
"cholera" and mysterious diseases.
The advice each year goes the
rounds of the agricultural press;
"Pound upall old broken crockery,

We say, don't. In the first place com-
mercial grit will be better and cheap-
er than the labor employed in break-
ing up dishes, and, in the next place,
glazed crockery is apt to be poisonous
to fowls.
The eggs should be gathered daily
and marketed twice a week. The life
of the fresh egg is three days. One

fact, the first man to have a peerage
conferred upon him for service in the
present war.
It will be remembered that in the
first days of the war a financial panic
threatened. It was essential that
every bit of gold should be preserv-
ed, and equally essential that the na-
tional credit should not suffer, and
that all great financial houses and
firms should be able to tide over the
money crisis brought about by the
entire dislocation of the world's mar-
kets.
Then it was that Mr. Walter Cun-
liffe, as he then was, and two or
three great money experts, came to
the assistance of the Government.
The financial system of the country
was reorganized under their direc-
tion. The money of the country was
preserved so that we were not only
able to carry on our business as usual
but were able to be of financial help
to our allies.
Son of a hard-headed Manchester
business man, who left a fortune of
over a million, Lord Cunliffe spent
the days of his boyhood and youth
at Harrow and Cambridge, where he
distinguished himself both in work
and play alike. He took his M.A. de-
gree and won the inter -Varsity mile
for the Light Blue at the sports at
Queen's Club one year.
He has, in fact, always been a very
keen athlete and sportsman, his great
passion of late years being for fish-
ing and big game shooting. In pur-
suit of this sport he has traveled in
the wilds of both India and China.
"Work is the best of all hobbies,"
is one of his favorite maxims, how-
ever, and he is to be found at his of-
fice at the bank nearly every day of
the week.
Lord Cunliffe is easily distinguished
by reason of his stature. He is six
feet high and very broad, with a fair-
ish moustache and his inevitable frock
coat and silk hat. For a man of sixty
he is remarkably active and young.

Poor Diplomat.
"I think the one you refused Is
much the more attractive of the two."
"I admit that, but when he propos-
ed he went into ecstasies over how
happy I could make him; but the one
I accepted spoke earnestly of how
happy he would bry to make me."
