Dog Collars of Jet Beads.

Strings of eo1ered cut glass or jet beads are not in the fashionable position they once held, and in their place fYe-string dog collar is assumed with slides of rhinestones, else at intervals two strings are caught together with a white crystal, rich red or turquoise bead. to the great enhancement of the froek with which 1t is worn.

While this is the largest it is not the first shipment and it is quite safe to say that it will be ex. eeeded by others soon to follow.

Four Famous Statues.

The most famous statues in history are the Colossus of Rhodes, the Sphinx and the vocal statue of Memnon at Thebes. and of these the last is the most remarkable, in consequence of it's property of emitting sounds when it's lips were touched by the rays of the rising sun so that it seemed to greet the coming day. It was originally a portrait model of King Amenophis III. and was one of a pair of statues be- tween sixty and seventy feet high, carved out of single blocks of sand stone and transported from the quar- ries to Thebes, whereas the Sphinx was carved from the living rock in the place where it now stands.
 Of statues not so well known the most remarkable is that of Bu1dha at Nara, rear Kioto, in Japan, which was erected A. D. HOO. It is made of bronze and is ffty-three feet six inches high and more than twenty eight feet broad across the shoulders. On it's head are 966 curls, and the im- age is surrounded by a glory or halo seventy-eight feet in diameter, on which sixteen images eight feet long are cast. Two smaller images each twenty-five feet high, stand in front of the lareer one. The total weight of metal in the main figure is about 450 tons. of which 500 pounds consist of gold.

Simple Calculation.

There is 8 very simple rule for and- ing the average number of years which persons of any given age may expect to live. If the present age be deducted from 80, two-thirds of the remainder is the answer required. The result is not absolutely accurate, but it is near enough. For instancee, man aged 20 might, by this rule. expect to live 70 years longer. which Is just what the latest actuarial tables give. At 40 the expectation of life works out at nearly 27 years, while the tables give it as over 9 years. At 50 the above rule allows just over B years. and the tables show little less.
