How STATUES ARE MADE.-The
bronze sta;uaTy just now SO popular
is manufactured by simple enough
process. Over the clay marble IS
poured coating Of plaster of Paris,
which, having been allowed to set, is
taken off in sections-thus affording
hollow mold OF the figure. From such
mold Is produced a stucco duplicate,
either of the entire statue or of such q
portion thereofas is intended TO be
cast at 3 time; and on this again is
formed a second mold of greater thick
ness and solidity for the reception OF
molten metal, The material used Ter
the finer mold is composition of stuc-
co and brick dust. This is applied in
n plastic state 10 the stucco model,
from which its inner surface tales the
form of the figure. Were the statues
cast solid 1t would only be necessary
TO separate mold from model, aud run
metal into the former till It's interior
was filled. This however, would IL
volve absurd waste and in order to
economic the material solid core is
placed inside the mold, leaving only
such space all around as !, = receive
the thickness of metal Deeess- r
the work in hand. Tue mold W.. !.
core having been thus completed ,lo
hooped firmly around with bands of
iron, Is placed in kiln to bake to per-
feet dryness. This precaution is nec-
essary from the circumstances that
even trace of moisture migh,, on ap.
PiIcation of molten metal, occasion .
dangerous explosion. In the case Of
casting now IN question, the drying OF
the mold occupies some weeks. On
the removal from the kiln, the mold is
buried in dry earth below the iieor of
the fpundry-only the aperture for re-
ceivIng the metal and the rea.,hoIe

A CURE FOR DRHTHERIA.-A cor.
respondent Of Victorian paper writes:
Should You or any of your family, be
attacked with diph:heria, do not be
alarmed, as it is easily and speedily
cured without a doctor. When il was
raging in England few years ago, |
accompanied DIR. Field on his rounds
TO witness the so called "wouderfui
cures" be performed, while the ga.
tients Of others were dropping on all
sides. The remedy TO be so rapid
must be simple. All he took with
him was powder of sulphur and
quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. de put
teaspoouful OF flour Of brimstone into
wine glass OF water, and stirred il
with his finger, instead of 4 spoon, as
the sulphur does not readily amalga>
mate with water. When the sulphur
was well mixed he gave it as gargle,
aud IN ten minutes the patient was
out Of danger. Birthstone kills every
species of fungus in man. beast. and
plant in a few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargle he recommended
the swallowing OF it. Ia extreme
cases, in which he had been called
Just in the nick of time, when the fun
gus was too nearly closing TO allow
tie gargling, be blew the sulphur
through a quill into the throat, aud
after tie fungus had shrunk to allow
of it, then the gargling He never lost
a patient from diphtherIa. IF pa
tient cannot gargle, take live coal,
put it on a shovel, and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of -four birthstone at
a time upon it, let the sufferer inhale
it, holding the head over il. and the
fungus will die. If plentifully used,
the whole room may be filed almost
TO suffoealion, but the patient can
walk about in it, lnhaling the fumes
with doors and windows shut. The
mode of fnmigating a room with sui
phur has often cured most violent al
tacks of ceid in the head, chest, &c, at
any time, and is recommended In cases
of consumption and asthma.

plain styles are DOW preferred tor
dressing tie hair for the street and
for mornings in the house. Gable
cords CT twisted ropes of hair IT Two
thick loops are worn at the back OF
the head, dropping low, as chatelaines.
The switches made up of short hair on
stems will not answer for these ropes,
as long hair is needed TO keep The
ropes smooth, These loops are then
fastened together at the nape OF The
neck with long broach of gold or OF
faceted Steel. The ribbon bows, worn
last season for tving chatelaines, have
fallen into disuse. though a small bow
with ends is sometimes placed on the
crown of the head 10 conceal The ter
mina,ion of the loops. The front hair
is worn in large waves if 1t is thick
enough, but if not, an invisible or false
front il used and is surmouuted 10y
nest Of finger puffS directly on the top
of the head. Light blond hair is still
worn rough and fluffy, but is not
regularly creped. Dark hair is worn
smoother than fair hair, and must be
laid fla:ly IN long waves, o. in the wa
Ter waves that require so little hair, or
more stylish still, in The Montague
locks that are made of thick curves
laid irregularly on the forehead. Side
locks, iIss in front of the ear, are
turned toward the face. These locks
and Montague curls are glued down
with bandoline to keep them in place.
Hair oils and pomades have happily
gone entirely out OF use; only the
cleanly baudoline is used. The special
object with the hairdresser is TO fol-

it's natural outlines, and, above all,
not increasing the size. Experienced
bairdressers study each head 20 bring

finger puffs are added there if it is
too long, the back hair is placed very
low, or else in knot just on TOP; if it
IS a round and small head, the classic
Grecian coitfure is used. The Greek
coiflure may be very dressy for even
ing by a few short natural looking
ourIs worn dropping behind, while the
front hair and sides are in long loose
waves. Yellow ivory or else tortoise
shell combs are WON in the back hair,
placed a triiie to one side. Side combs
are also usei again. The French twist
is worn by ladies who find high colt
fures becoming. 1t is rolled very
high ard as small as possible. and Is
finished on top by Recsmie- bow of
hair, or else a cluster Of hair loops.
The coifiures of the time of the First
Empire are said to be coming into use
again. These are liked by brunettes
with thick massive hair. and are cOpi-
ed from protraits of Josephine and
HOrtense. The front hair is in short
thick curls parted III the middle.

a Lesson FOR THE INDOLENT.-There
was a duke once who disguised him,
self and placed q great rock in the
middle OF the road near his palace.
Next morning a peasant came that
way with hisox cart. "Oh, these lazy
people, said be, "there is this big
stone lying right in The middle of the
road, and no ore will take The trouble
to put it out of the way" And so
Hans went on scolding about the lazi>
ness of the people Next came a gay
soldier along. His head was held SO
far back that he didn't notice The stone
and so he stumbled over it. He be
gan TO storm at the country people
around there for leaving a huge rock
i'll the road. Then he went on. Next
came a company of merchants. When
they came to the stone, the road was
so narrow that they had to go Oft in
single file on the other side. Oae Of
them cried out, ibid anybody ever
see the like of that big stone lying
here the whole of the morning, and
not single person stopping ~ take II
away" 1t lay there for three weeks,
and Nc one tried 10 remove il. Then
the duke sent around word TO all the
people on his lands to meet where
the rock lay, as he had something TO
tell them. The day came, and great
crowd gathered. Old Hans, the farm.
er, was there, and so were the mer-
chauls A horn was heard, and
splendid cava!caie came gallopIng up.
The duke got down from bis horse,
and began 10 speak TO the people
gathered there My friends, it was
| who put this stone here three weeks
ago. Every passer-by has left it just
where it vas, and has scolded his neigh
Dor for not taking 1t out Of the way"
He stopped down and lifted up the
stone Directly underneath it was
round hollow, and in the hollow lay
small leather bag. The duke held up
this bag, that all might see what was
written or it E.: "For him who lifts up
the stone" He united the bag, and
turned it upside down, and out upon
the stone fell beautiful gold ring and
twenty large bright gold coins. So
they all lost the prize because they
had not learned a lesson, OF formed
the habit of diligence.
