Ofo gerald and ^clrcrtisa Some Statnes. There la a gateway under a tenement house on Forsyth street, near Houston, that leads into the interior of a block where there used to be a graveyard. Five storied houses have taken the place of the graves and the grass, and an elec tric light company’s wires are strung over one side of the block so thickly that the clothes lines have to he run in other di rections. In the hollow made by the tene ments there is a series of buildings that have grown into one by the, accretions of years. These buildings are inhabited by a curious race. There are men of ail lengths and weights, from four or five feet to ten and fifteen, and as heavy as a ton. There are women, too, some white, clean and well formed, with shapely limbs, and cloaks and tunics like those of Mrs. Caesar and other ladies who set the fashions some years ago. In some rooms of the main building families and their animals have been living together in har mony for months. There are children with wings like Cupids and dancing girls whose skirts are always at the same ancle, Dianas with the same- number of arrows in their quivers from one week’s end to another, and Mercurys always balancing on the same big toe and never toppling over. One room with an extra high ceiling is inhabited by giants. Not a man in the room is under ten feet, and some of the women are as tall. They are a muscular race, and the smaller men who come and go in the room take great pride in the swelling muscles, the sturdy Ixmes, the clenched lists and well poised heads of the giants. The people who in habit other rooms in this inner build ing are not so big, but they are equally comely. None of these men or women ever voluntarily stray out of the build ing and over to the Bowery, that is only a few' stejw away. At times the men and women are changed from one build ing to another, but they do not go of their own accord. At long intervals they go from their huge rooms out under the tenement houses and mto the world, where the} - perch on various pedestals, roofs and arches, and see their old home no more. Adjoining the large house where these men and women live from their infancy up is a smaller building, where they are made from zinc, copper, Lmaze and other materials, and in the lofts over the statue factory are rooms full of drawings and models, and further up ordinary live men at work tacking together the legs, chests, arms, heads and accouterments of these bronze giants, that are soon to go out in the world and be perched on high to be gazed at of men. Thousands of pounds of copper, brass and zinc go in under the tenement house every year and come out fine looking statues and beautiful animals. The next object that is expected to come forth is a $7,000 bronze buffalo, who will sit on the banks of the Missouri at Council Bluffs and view the river and a railroad. In one of the rooms is the group of three figures that the Arion society will put on its now building up town. II. Baerer was the sculptor. From his de signs the molds were made, and the figures are now almost finished, and stand twice as high as a tall man. The figures repre sent Prince Carnival having a good time with his family. He has a mustache, a goatee, a cloak and a doublet that does not hide his shapely legs. No matter how cold it will be when he is perched near the roof and the snow freezes on him, lie will not have any thicker stockings than when he emerged from the hot sand. Prince Carnival is made of zinc, and lie. liis* family and friends are worth about $4,800. With him goes a zinc valet, a zinc harp, a zinc harpster, and some pretty zinc girls, all of whom are to sit on various parts of the new Arion building. It takes several months to turn out a zinc-or bronze man or woman, and about the same timfe for a horse or angel. The time varies according to the material and degree of finish required. There must be drawings first and then a model. Molds are made from tho model and the various parts are then cast. The casts are polished and fastened together. The joints are soldered, the tack holes covered over, and the job is done. Copper costs least, zinc more and bronze most. A bronze statue costs more because it is hardest to make and hardest to put to gether. The material also costs more, as the best grades of copper, tin, zinc and lead must be used. Zinc statues can be .soldered together, while bronze legs and arms are tacked on after being fitted into the body like sections of stovepipe. A good sized bronze man weighs over a ton. while a copper man would be a light weight. lie is malleable and would give indents where a bronze man would stand it or crack. The men who make statues are well paid. The superintendent of castings is a well known Frenchman and makes up ward of $.7,000 a year. He does his work by contract, and the amount he makes varies according to his success in making a good casting the first time. He has a long training at the business and is a true artist. The other men are paid from $25 to $50 a week, the burnishers and assistants getting less. The men who put the castings together have to be care ful to make the joints even and not no ticeable, but the main success of a statue rests with the superintendent of the cast ing. Almost all the workmen are foreign. The proprietor is a German, the casters Frenchmen, the designers Germans and Frenchmen and the molders and fitters •Germans.—New York Sun. The Proper Ktsteh Dance. The Nautch girls arranged themselves into a half circle, their scarlet costumes forming a bright crescent terminating at either end in a mass of spectators, whose half naked bodies, varying in color from pale olive to mahogany, were arrayed in costumes scarcely less showy than the dancers’. The chaperone tom toms an appropriate Nautch accompaniment on a drum with his fingers and four pretty girls advance from the half circle and, favoring me with a quartet of killing smiles and a quartet of coquettish glances from their bright, dark eyes, they com mence to dance. An idea seems to pre vail in Occidental minds tlxat the Indian Nautch dance is a very naughty thing, but nothing is further from the truth. Of course, it can be made naughty, and, no doubt, often is, but then so can many another form of innocent amusement. The proper Nautch daace is a decorous and artistic performance when properly danced; the graceful motions and elegant proportions of the human form, as re vealed by lithe and graceful dancers, are to be viewed with an eye purely artistic and critical as a Venus or other produc tion of the sculptor’s studio. Only the British matron would consider a Nautch dance in any degree indecorous. The four dancers take the hem of their red garment between the thumb and finger of the right hand, spreading its ample folds into the figure of an open fan by bringing the outstretched arm almost on a level to the shoulder. A mantle cf transparent muslin, fringed with silver spangles, is worn about the head and shoulders in the same indescribably grace ful manner as the mantilla of the Span ish senorita. Raising a portion of this aloft in tl.e left hand and keeping the fan intact with the right, the dancers twirl around and change position with each other, their supple figures meanwhile as suming a variety of graceful motions and postures from time to time. Now they imitate the spiral movements of a serpent climbing around and upward on an im aginary pole; again they assume a charm ing posture, their dusky countenances half hidden in seaming coquetry behind the muslin mantle, the large red fan waved gently to and fro, the feet uiimov- ing, but the undulating motions of the btxly and the tremor of the limbs sufficing ro jingle the tiny ankle bells.—India Cor.

On tlio Summit of Mount Shasta. The wind and cold were so severe that our stay on tho summit was shorter than one could wish; however, one hour is about as good as two for a scene to which weeks could not do justice. Northern California and part of Oregon lay spread oat like a great bird’s eye map. To the southeast, seventy-five miles away, tho snows of Lassen’s peak seemed quite near, and far beyond it are visible the white tops of other peaks in the great Sierra; while at an equal distance north tho beau tiful symmetry of Mount Pitt in Oregon shows white above the Cascades, which stretch ridge after lidge for leagues be yond. Beyond the rugged and broken ranges toward the coast tho air is cloudy, and we are unable to see tho Pacific. The dleys at our feet are so smoky that the lower part of our view is much limited. The view of Mount Shasta itself is grand beyond description. West of us, more than half a mile lower, and two or three miles distant, is the great- crater of the mountain. More than half of the great rim is yet intact—what is left of a huge bowl a mile in diameter, whose side seems to have been burst out by its molten con tents. In other directions, from the sum mit, great serrated ridges of rock stretch down into the forest; while between them over narrowing areas of snow extend for miles to meet the trees, like guards to keep the green from infringing on its white domain. From our great height the lower part of the snow, steep though it reallv is, looks nearly level, as do the wooded slopes and valleys beyond; and a passing cloud looks in the sunshine like a white sheet spread on the dark green carpet of pines.—F. C. Freeman in Over land Monthly.

Dhe celebrated physician, Ricord, was ; day walking along the boulevard in [•is, when he met an old gentleman o was very rich, but who was at the ae time noted for his extreme stingi- s. The old man, who was somewhat a hypoclirondriac, imagined that he ild get some medical advice from Ric- [ without paying for it ‘Doctor, I am feeling very poorly.” ‘Where do you suffer most?” ‘In my stomach, doctor.” < Ali, that’s bad. Please shut your &. That’s right. Now put out your gue, so I can examine it closely. ’ ’ rhe invalid did as he was told. After had waited patiently for aliout ten autes he opened his eyes, and found aself surrounded by a crowd, who .posed that he was crazy. Dr. Ricord, the. meantime, had disappeared.— ■fSiftfW* ... ■* —~ Charles Sunnier and His Friends. Sumner was very careful of the feel ings of liis personal friends, many of whom disagreed emphatically with him on political subjects. Some of them were not of the same party with himself; some were not of the same wing of the party. After President Grant ar^liis cabinet be came estranged from the senator, certain of his friends failed to follow him. Among them was the journalist, Maj. Ben: Perley Poore, who, in his letters miJ telegrams, took strong ground for the president and against the senator. The contest at tne time was exceedingly hitter, and “Perley’s” dispatches reflected the degree of acerbity felt by the presi dent's friends. Sumner’s friends were inclined to take issue with the journalist, holding that the tone of his letters was incompatible with his personal relations toward the senator, and brought them to Sumner’s attention. He would hear just enough of them to know what was Being spoken of: and then, if the paper had been handed him. would throw it into the waste basket, ex claiming: --I like him too well to read his letters. He was once asked. "How can you like him when he speaks of you in such terms?" and his reply was: "I like the jierson, not the writer; I do my duty as I see it; let him do his as he sees it. Why should we quarrel?”—Arnold Bulges Johnson in The Cosmopolitan. M C BRIDE’S CHINA PALACE! 29 PEACHTREE STREET, ATLANTA, GA. We import direct from the largest factories of England.

Released upon the ground the beavers make off, with a curious shambling gait, a compound of shuffle and a waddle, with a strong tendency to fall forward upon the nose at every step. On closer examination the cause of this mi graceful style of locomotion was found to be two fold ; first, their hind legs yvere at least one third longer than their fore legs, the extra length being in the femur; and secondly, they were digitigrade in front, and plantigrade behind, or, as our French cook, Francois, expressed it: “Ze front ligue. he go teeptoe, comme de dogue, or le chat; ze behind ligue. he make walk flat foot—pied a terre— like ze bair, or ze man.” If one will try to walk on all fonts, with the soles of the feet and the tips of the fingers touching the ground, he will have a tolerably fair idea of beaverine locomotion. —H.
