A Gigantic Idol,

Two miles out from Kanakurs, and
ABOUT twenty miles from Yokohama, In
Japan, on q terrace near the temple of
kAmAkurs, sits the most gigantic idol or
heather god, now known TO exist. 1nis
immense brszsn image Of . deity wAs
built or made during the reign of Shomu,
who was forty-sixth in the present line of
empsrors, and who died In the year 74s
A. D. This idol, which has been prayed
to daily for more than twelve hundred
years by the crowd of deyotees that hour
ly cluster about it, is still in perfect re-
pair and justly reckoned as one of the
greatest wonders of the Orient. Frank
Dobbins, who visited DAi- Butsu, and has
given the best description Of the god that
has yet been written, says:
The dimensions Of this god are truly
colossal His height from the base Of
the lotus flower upon which he sits to
the top of his head is sixty-ihres and
one-half feet, and above this rises an su-
reole four,sen feet wide, above which
again rises for several feet the hame-like
glory which enciTcles or arches in the
whole figure. The face proper is sixteen
feet long; Its width nine and one-hAlf
feet. The eyes are three feet nine inches
long from corner to corner, the eyebrows
i've and one-hslf feet, and the ears eight
and one-half feet. The chest is twenty
Acct IL ucpt huu luc LuaOuGS lIseI lt e1-
sctly 1--WE feet long. Around the sides,
head and shoulders of the god, in front of
the sureole, are sixteen figures, each In q
sitting posture, and each eight feet in
height. The leaves of the immense lotus
upon which the god sits are each ten feet
long and six feet wide, there being fifty
six of them in the cluster. The casting
must have been wonderfully well executed,
although the fneness of The leaf edges
and other parts, which was able to ex-
anime, and the elaborate engraving, which
can still be traced upon the flower itself in
the uniniured parts, leave no doubt that
the founders art was supplemented here
and there by artists with file snd grsver.
The right hand Is open and raised upward;
the left rests upon the lap. The image
weighs about four hundred and fifty tons,
and is made of combination of gold, tin,
copper and mercury.

highest beauty does not dwell in immstur-
ity. For beauty does not mean alone the
fashion of form and coloring, as found In
the waxen doll. The dew Of youth and O
complexion of roses sometimes combine In
face that is unmoving and unresponsive,
as though lacking utterly the life spark.
A womsn's best and richest years are from
twenty six to forty. 1t Is srrsnt error for
any woman to regard herself as psssee at

In the course of years, however, time
arrives when the coming of age must be
recognized, when the muscles begin to re-

DEATH OE ECLECIlC. Ola.

a week ago last Sunday this handsome
PAGER was given workout at the race
track at Sacramento and while being
cooled out a heavy rain fell and the
PAGER got a severe chill. Despite his
attendants efforts the horse became
worse, and in the morning the veterinar-
ian was called. Day and night the great
est care was given the invalid, and every
thing that human knowledge or skill
could do was done for the horse. On
Thursday he became weaker, and at
twelve o'clock he died.
Eclectic was a chestnut stallion with
silver name and tail. lie got a record of
2 IA al San Jose last year in that memoir
able race in which Chris Smith and Fall
rose were completely knocked out. 1t
was his first year on the turf, and great
things were expected of him by his own
er, DR.. F. G.. Fay of Sacramento. He
was entered in the great free for-all race
that was decided Friday. and if he had
lived to take part in it would have got
portion of the purse. He had shown
trial miles in 10 and could pace all day.
He was bred as follows; Sired by Jolly,
out of Belle, by Clark's Ethan Allen
Che was by old Ethan Allen; second
dam Riverside Belle, by Hambletonian
jolly was by Admiral, out of
mare by Ulster Chief; second dam
by Paul's Abdallah; third dam
known as the Argyle Eclipse mare, The
loss of this horse to his owner and the
horse interest of Sacramento county is
severe one. DR.. Fay has the sympathy
of all, for in losing Eclectic he has part
ed with one of the gamest and most in
telligent horses that ever was foaled.

wANreO-A GOOD DRIVER.

If the 200 trotter or PAGER arrives this
year or next or at any time in the future,
it will be only when driver appears
who has head enough to stand the clip.
Now that the science of breeding has
accomplished so much, more science, skill
and brains are recognized IN the men
who train and drive. The greatest
drivers in the country were at Washing
ton park, and they won the races.
There were exhibitions of skillful and
mastery craftsmanship every day and in
almost every race. No proposition ever
had clearer demonstration than that the
only way for good horse to get to the
front is with a good driver behind 1t.
During the recent breeders meeting
46 races were trotted and paced, and 26
different drivers had winning mounts.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better than any
other. We will tell you. When this
remedy is taken as soon as cold has
been contracted, and before it has become
settled in the system, it will counterfeit
the effect of the cold and greatly lessen
its severity. if nor effectuallv cure the
cold in two days time, and it is the only
remedy that nil do this. 1t acts in per-
feet harmony with nature and aids ma
ture in relieving the lungs, opening the
secretions, liquefying the mucus and
causing its expulsion from the air cells
of the lungs and restoring the system to
IA strong and healthy condition. No other
remedy in the market possesses these
remarkable properties. No other will
cure cola so quickly or leave the sys-
TEN IN as sound condition. For sale by

SPEED POSSIBILITIES.

"Grinln" writes as follows in the Turf,
Field and Farm of last week:
In the first issue of this paper for the
present season the probability of any
considerable reduction in top records
was briefly discussed, and | took occasion
to say: "The season of 1893 is likely to
bring very numerous accessions TO the
ranks of extreme speed, and it would not
surprise me If the 80 list should be
more than doubled, but when it comes to
beating 2 :04-'Ay, there's the rub
1t is my belief that the limit of speed has
been very nearly reached, and that when
the writer Is called upon to chronicle the
doings of 1898 the chances are rather
against the records of either Nancy Hanks
or Mascot being superseded, or, if they
are the decrease will probably be frac-
tional.'

AT THE WIND HAM COUNTY FAIR.

The Brattleboro Phoenix of last week
says in its report of the local fair: 1.-The
fair management was extremely fortu-
nate in securing Nermont's famous race
horse and sire of speed, 'Gillig.' race
record :23l at four years old, by the
King of Morgans. Aristos, 2:273. the
sire of II in the list, with five producing
sons and four daughters; dam Alice. by
Pearsall Gilllg, now eight years old.
is proving IA remarkable sire. Sue Gil
lig, his first colt. secured race record of
PSI as three years-Old. Tom Gillig
held The New England record for year
lings. 1914; Rupert Gillig has a record
of , :2lf, and more are fast knocking for
admittance to the charmed circle.
'In Gillig himself. in size, conforma-
ton, speed and perfection of gait, moth
ing is left to be desired. The very EN-
bOdiment Of an ideal roadster, we look
to this horse to redeem Vermont's pres
tige more than any other, as place
where speed, combined with road quail
ties, shall stand in the front rank, as in
the days of long ago. AS race horse
that brings the money home the fol-
lowing summary of his performances
stamps him bread-winner of the first
order: Starting in 10 races, he won nine
first, four second, one third. and
one drawn. That he is much
faster than his record was fully
shown by his trotting quarter in 354
seconds the first day, and half IN TIA
the next, and this after full season in
the stud of over l25 covers.
"Mr. w. w. Moore of Shoreham, his
owner and breeder, comes TO Brattleboro
a comparative stranger. lie leaves us
with Gillig's name upon every lip, while
the personality of the man will ever be
green in the memory of all his Bratte-
boro friends and new acquaintances."
