when the cinerarium Of boy, Il certain Hyl.

poor little bones had been inclosed in the vase
together with his iavorite toys. There was q
small terra Gotta chicken, painted In bright
colors, aud fragment of puppet. in the
shape of our pulcinellas, with clay bust arms
and legs of wood. The wood naturally was

honor Of being exhibited in one of the most
famous museums of Europe ?-The AlLeRaunl.
