Statues of fine Carrara marble are
choice and elegant additions to any room.
For those whose means do not admit Of
such expensive decorations are the plaster
casts of the art stores, which may be pro-
tected by enameling or painted in ivory
tints. Nearly all of the choicest bits Of
statuary, such rs the Winged Mercury,
the Venus de Milo, and all the well
known figures of ancient gods and god
dcsscs are to be had in plaster, and are
often excellent limitations of the marbles,
and very gratifying to the lover of arts
tic forms. With careful usage they will
be ornamental for a long time. Bass
reliefs in plaster, hung against plush,
felt or plain silk panels, are effective and
artistic. New York Ledger.

A delightful story OF the exhibition in

that fails sometimes to be equal to the
strain put upon it comes from Brook
Ign. This small boy has not the virtue
of humility very prominently developed.
Indeed, he is what is known among chill
dren Of his W age as proud" and
wont to remind such Of his playmates as
are less fortunate than he in worldly
station of his advantages. Now his
mother, who has a class in Sunday
school, to which her little son also be-
longs, had given his outgrown overcoat
to another boy in the class.
And then, knowing the failing OF her
offspring, before setting out she told him
he must not tell the new owner that the
coat had ever belonged to him. And the
boy promised. But it was terribly hard
work, especially as he sat next the object
of his self restraint during the entire
exercises But he didn't say any
thing. and the mothers heart was
easier. At last. however, just before
school was over, his state of grace de-
parted from him. Leaning over the

fingers, he said, 81 just want to see if

When I'm on the road, said a tray

make a study of the different manners
In which different people bid their
friends good-by. A business man comes
on the car with his wife, gets a seat for
her, puts her bundles in the rack,
presses her hand, and perchance gives
her a matter Of a fact kiss and is gone,
and the whole has been done so quietly
that no one has taken any notice of il. a
young lady accompanies her young lady
friend to the train. After going from
one end Of the car to the other and
back again they find n seat that will
answer. The young lady Is going up
the road ten miles and will be gone till
the next day. Well, good-by, Lii

As the train will wait for them.
Then there is the lovers good-by. 1t
is very different from any other. In
many good-bys there is much more said
than is meant, but the lovers mean much
more than they say. The Fly look that
flashes from eye to eye has u whole world
OF meaning in it for them. And the
good-hy clasp of their hands ~telegraphs
whole volumes Of affection from heart
to heart. And when they kiss-well,
there isn't a person in the car but would
like to steal "A taste Of their bliss. And
sometimes there are amusing things
occur in the hurry attending the good

they were unaccustomed to travelling.
