Japan's ssSeyen Ages of Man.''

The ''seven ages of man" were depicted by Japanese artists long before they became famous in Shakespearean recitations in this country, and, perhaps, before Shakespeare was born. On the walls of a great tea store in New York city, which has branches in Hong Kong and Shanghai, hang series of Japanese pictures illustrating the seven picturesque periods of mans existence. The material used is mating, not canvas, and great ingenuity is displayed in the execution of the tableaux. The infant, of course, figures in the first picture The next shows the boy admitted to a university. In the third he stands up for betrothaL In the fourth he is a soldier. In the fifth, much older, he is mandarin. In the sixth he is a dotard, dying. In the seventh he is wrath waited away in the wind.-New York Sun.
