THE FISRERMAN'S WIDOW.

The tears are standing upon her cheeks,
And her eyes are weary ana dlm-
She has sat at the window for weeks and
weeks.
For sight of his boat and him.
She takes the Youngest child on her knee,
And turns its face to her breast
go God" she says, "that my babe and me
Were laid in our grave to rest!'
The boats come sailing in over the bay,
and the women run down to the shore;
But though she sit there till the judgment
day,
His boat will come in no more.

Excavations at Olympia.


The excavations continue to bring to
light additional fragments of the sculp-
lures of the Temple of Zeus. Particu-
larly interesting from an artistic point
of view is The head of the river god Cla-
deus. 1t is in good state of preserva-
ton; the face is youthful and beardless,
and the hair cut short, of which only the
edges are delineated. As your readers
are aware, Cladeus lies in the right hand
corner of the pediment; he lies face for
ward, supporting himself on his elbow.
1t is now possible to admire the charm
ing and lively movement of the head,
which is turned towards the group of
combatants.
The expression and features are treated
in an archaic fashion, and compared with
the powerful rounded shoulders and the
mighty arch of the breast the size of the
head is rather small. The god exhibits
the natural type of the older statues of
Greek youths; their strength and supple
ness, acquired in gymnastic exercises, are
depicted with uncompromising realism,
and show no trace of the dreamy and
soft Oscillations of nature which a later
and more subtle period used to adopt in
portraying river gods. An examination
of the entire figure proves beyond doubt
that it represents Cladeus, and not AL
pheus, and since it is certain that Cladeus
lay in the right-hand corner, the problem
of the disposition of the statues is solved.
Between Zeus and Cladeus stood Gno-
maus and Sterope with their attendants.

Birds of Paradise.

The birds of Paradise unite all these
modes of ornamentation in the highest
degree, and with the most harmonious
results. They join the graceful plumes
of the ostrich to the dainty coloring of
the sun-bird. Crests almost as largely
developed as that of the umbrella-bird
overshadow their beautiful heads; frills
as full as those of the humming- birds
fall down in metallic splendor before
their gorgeous necks. And if any proof
be wanting Of the connection between
the nature of the food and the general
beauty of the plumage, it may be found
in the fact that these royalty-attired
creatures are first cousins of our own
dingy crows and jackdaws; but while the
crow seeks his livelihood among the in
sects and carrion of an English plowed
field, the bird of paradise regales his
lordly palate on the crimson and purple
fruits which gleam out amid the embow-
ering foliage of Malayan forests
