Reason Why These Delicate Objects Were

Among the various objects placed in the
grave these statuettcs of terra Gotta were
by far the most interesting. They formed
a.little world themselves Of infinite variety
In which were found every style, every fash
ion and every period: fgurines of men and
women-statuettes Of dlvinities and spirits
jointed figures like puppets. and hollow
figures with a stone inside like %rattles; ami
mails of every kind; statuettes Of every de-
gree OF merit-rudimentary or exquisite
all differing from one another according to
circumstances and date.
The tiny statuettes vary considerably in
size. The largest are as much as fifteen
inches in height, while the smallest only
measure two or three inches. but the greater
number reach a height of about eight inches
when seated. from five to seven inches when
kneelins and eight to ten inches standing.

MRS. NICKLEBY's GARDEN. q
An Estate at Bow Where Dickens Laid
One OF His Most Famous Scenes.
From the London Daily News.

From the London Daily Nero.
Many interesting associations are linked
with the Grove Hall estate. at Bow. which
Ia to come under the auctioneer's hammer
to-day. 1t was here that Charles Dickens
laid the scheme of the amusing love making
episodes between Mrs. Nicholas Nickleby
and the gentleman belonging to the house

at Bow" and the quaint old garden In which
Mrs, Nickleby and her daughter Kate received
the love offerings OF vegetable marrows.

Until recently the estate was the site OF
Byas's private lunatic asylum. Just Oh
the Bow road-the high road to Chigwell.
with which the novelist was well acquainted
and about three or four hundred yards
down Fairfield road the visitor comes to Q
large high brick wall. Passing through the
narrow porter's lodge. he at once steps Into
an Old World garden Of quaint and singular
beauty. In front Of him stretches a long
avenue Of plane trees. and away In the dis
lance are vistas of winding paths and leafy
lanes.
II il strange spot, situated In the heart Of
London's East End, a spot which few would
expect to find In this busy district. At the end
Of the avenue and away to the left lies the old
time garden in which the eccentric lady and
her still moro eccentric lover communed In the
days Of long ago. The old wall. thlckly covered
with Ivy AND CreepeTe. oYeT "HiCH tHc srtlt'S'

Nickleby. Ia still there. much worn with age.
In the centre OF the garden is a large patch
Of eyerRreens and marieolds. while sweet
smelling Jasmine perfumes the air with It's
fragrance. One can easily reconstruct the
love scene In this old fashioned corner and
see In imagination the lady demurcly rejecting
the proposals Of the mailman from next
door
The little cottage has long since been
demolished, and on It's site now stand the
remains Of q laundry. But the landmarks
are still left. and 1t will be q pity II these old
associations are allowed to be obliterated By

The asylum itself was closed early In the
