WOODEN DOLLS.
"They are mostly toys for children," the Doctor answered. "You see that the ancient Egyptians tried to amuse their little ones just as parents in America try to do to-day."
CHILDREN'S TOYS.
The collection of toys was an interesting one. Here was a rude figure of a man supposed to be washing, or kneading dough, and he was made to move his hands up and down an inclined board by means of a string, like a "jumping-jack" of to-day. A wooden crocodile was there, with his under-jaw moving up and down at the will of the child who owned it, and there were several wooden dolls, some well modelled, and others painted in brilliant colors, intended to catch the juvenile eye.
The sight of the toys naturally brought up a question relative to the games played by the ancient Egyptians.
