A BOGUS RELIC.

Aanaslng Instance of Way 1m Which Maaeami Are Imposed Upon. A very amusing instance of the way in which museums are imposed upon has just come to light, says the St. James Gazette. At the French revolution, when the Cathedral of St. Denis was so mutilated, the figures which ornamented the beautiful Gothic tomb of Dagobert was thrown down, and for the most part destroyed, all that remained being the body of his Queen Nantilde and the head of* his son Clovis. When the restorers stepped in subsequently they made the best they could of the bits, putting the son’s head on the mother’s body and calling it the Seine Nantilde. Not long ago more intelligent restorers put an end to this absurdity, and there are now to be seen at St. Denis two statues on which the original proportions of each are preserved. But meanwhile casts of the hybrid were taken, and they still exist in the collection of the Beaux Arts in Paris and in the National Bavarian museum at Munich as examples to students of all that is best in Gothic art. But this is not all. In the great museum at Berlin, in the sculpture department. there is a small statuette of stone, with various cracks and flaws which give it an antique appearance, which is nothing less than a smaller and very imprudently made counterfeit of the hybrid. The forger felt the difficulty which might be raised to placing a man’s head above a woman’s bust, and so has modified both to a small extent; but there is not a shadow of doubt that be has succeeded in palming off a most xtMtxpMted tofaafftiim wtane to could little expect to.

SOCIETY IN SIBERIA.

Hwstesa and .Guests Frevseutlr tire te Kitchen to Cook and Kat. At «ma of the grand balls I attended at Krasnoyarsk, writes Thomas G. Allan, Jr M of “Fashionable Siberia,” in Ladies* Home Journal, I was impressed by the profusion of flowers used in the decoration of the ballroom, and which had been imparted from Europe at enormous expense, and also by the importance given to the matter of refreshments. Although there appeared to be about four girls to one man, the male portion of the company spent the greater part of the evening at the buffet, or zokooski table, eating and drinking. The conversation of the women, I found, was most conventional, and one could invariably anticipate the i omaxks upon an introduction to a lady. Knowledge of French, which I was surprised to find few could speak, is considered the most graceful feminine accomplishment. The kitchen, however, has for the lady of the land a peculiar fascination. Very often while dressed in silks and satins, a’nd conversing with her guests, a hostess will proceed to fry a “blin” or pancake, and eat it with the greatest gusto. The other ladies are at liberty to follow the hostess’ example if they choose.

TOLD HIS CLAM STORY.

How * Funny Detroit Man Won His Vase With the Jury. Marshall P. Wilder, the funny little man, is charged with having with malice aforethought and evil intent sprung a few of his tales on a jury and thereby turned their verdict in his direction, says the Detroit Journal. A few weeks ago Marshall came to town and in the circuit court sued Dr. Hercules Sanehe on a promissory note for SI,OOO. He won the case, and now the counsel for the defense has applied for a new trial on the ground that the jury was improperly influenced. The lawyer says that during a recess Marshall went out into the hall and told the jurymen a lot of funny stories, including that one about the New Jersey clam digger who fed his family on clams so long that their stomachs rose and fell with the tide. T'hat settled it, the Sanehe lawyer sa. T j, and the man who laughs was sob zas a boarding house biscuit with tb ary. They went into court, he says, ana chuckled out a verdict in his favor. The counsel for the defense says Wilder’s jokes would win a favorable verdict from a jury of pine stumps, hence the application for a new trial.

PRESENT DAY BARBARIANS.

French African Expedition Said to Be Gwilty of Astonishing Crnelty. A grewsome account of the conduct of the French expedition which has just made its way to the Nile is given by one A Of its members in a private letter, says the Boston Transcript. He says they impressed all their native porters and other help by force; in brief, seized and made slaves of them. Then, if any of them tried to escape, they shot or hanged them. When they came upon a village and found it deserted they set ft afire, whereupon the inhabitants, who were hiding near by, would come back and try to extinguish the flames, thus giving the French an opportunity to seize some of them to replenish their slave train. The French would seize the chief and tie him up until he furnished the required number of slaves. If they did not succeed in calling any of the natives within reach by incendiarism or other means they simply looted the village. At night they kept as close a watch upon the slaves as possible, “but they would now and then al! ran away together, and it was not easy to kill the whole lot.”

The Pope's Seal.

The seal worn by the pope, and used by him on official documents to which his signature is attached, has on it the engraving of a fish, with the cipher of the wearer. Since the thirteenth century every pope has worn a ring of this character, and it is shattered with a hammer when the wearer dies, to pre-

Amber for Pipes.
