A TOY-SHOP  If little folks' happiness can be measured by the variety of playthings at their dispoal, then the appellation “the Paradise of Children” applied to Japan, is certainly no misnoma. Volumes might be filled should a catalogue of toys accessible to Japanese children be attempted. Most of these toys are of simple and cheap-make-a very practical idea considering that little folks care for the quantity, not the quality of the things given to them. Drums, dolls, miniature kitchen utensils, swords, tops, masks, and rubber balls are among the articles that never fail to carry the hearts of children here. There is not a street in Tokio but where exist one or two toy-shops, especially an avenue in Asakusa Park is literally lined with shops dealing in all sorts of playthings.		FARMERS IN THE RICE SWAMP.
