do not enter into such things. The mother
says she is as much at a loss to explain the
phenomena as any one, and expresses fear

gists and neurologists, and If the mother Is
honest and the boy is not shsmming, the
riddle will probably be solved by the dis

cunning.
The scandal regarding the Cesnola Cy-
priote statuettes at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum or Art is being revived fn q most
vigorous manner. Clarence Cook, the art
critic of the Tribune, has Just published q
pamphlet in which the charges of tamper-
ing with the antique statues, made some
time ago by Mr.. Fenardent, an archeologist
here, are reiterated. Mr.. Cook takes one
statue, and the demonstration seems to be
clear that 1t was repaired and restored since
IL was acquired by the Museum, so that it
now is far from being the same statue.
Although committee of the trustees about
year ago made formal investigation of
the charges of Mr.. Fenardent, Mr.. Cooks
article is so direct that one cannot
see how 1t can be passed over.
General di Cesnola, against whom
the charges are made, and who has
recently been officially recognized by Italy,
his native country, for his achievements as
an arcb@ ologist, is much ANNOYED by the at
tack. II his enemies continue to sting him
the only alternative will be another investi--
cation. As fer the average visitor to the
museum he doesn't care whether the nose
Of an ugly little god is the identical nose
belonging to the statue when 1t was made or
was cleverly put on yesterday.
There is mania just now In the fash
ionable world for floral ornaments in the

colors and unlimited dimensions. This does
not now meet the demands of taste. Hats,
which are on the crescendo, II ANYTHING In re-
spect to size, have their wide areas orna-
mented with bouquets and wreaths of the
most gorgeous description. But this Is all
preliminary. What l wish to speak of are
the very sthetic parasols that the Young
woman of the period is to carry In her hand,
It is to be the proper thing to have a cluster

OF these astounding inventions for myself
They are made OF many hues, and are so
brilliant Withal that they seem to have been
designed more for the pomp and show of
some gay carnival than for the street. On

inventory OF the flowers which adorned It..
There were two large full-blown red roses,
three half-opened roses of the same variety,
and five buds. Besides, there were green
leaves through which bugs and beetles were
represented to be crawling at will. Others
had tea roses and lilies of the valley. As IL
designed for the soulfully intense young lady
with leaning towards @stheticism, some
have clusters OF the golden and glorious sun
