Statue Hidden by verdigris.

An Egyptian statue, the finest of the
kind existing, and as work of art
ranking with the Venus of Milo and
the Venus de Medici, has just been
discovered in the Egyptian Gallery of
the Louvre, almost by accident. tits in
bronze, and is the portrait of queen
of the thirteenth dynasty, named
Karomana. This statue was covered
with a thick coating of verdigris,
which concealed its most striking
beauties, SO that visitors constantly
passed it without even suspecting what
treasure was before them.
An almost invisible trace of gold
having been detected on the surface,
it was thought that perhaps some gild-
ing lay under the verd1gris, and the
statue was scrapeda little with extreme
care.
Something was brought to view far
different from gliding. Whom the
beautiful queen was relieved from her
verdigris she was found to be clothed
in robe damascened in gold and sill
yer. The workmanship is of the most
exquisite description, SURPRISING any
thing known in ancient or modern art.
Indeed, the artists in work of the
kind in Paris often stand for hours
before this marvel in an ecstacy of ad-
miration and despair. The face has a
caressing fixity of purpose, not unlike
that of the wonderful Venus of Milo
in the same building, but even greater
delicacy of outline. It sets one dream.

Mutual fire insurance among farm
ers has proven wonderfully success
full, remarks the American Aericul-
turist. The Legislatures of the Mid
die States have done much to aid this
movement by passing about all the
laws they have been asked to. The
hundl eds of farmers mutuals in New
York and Pennsylvania represent many
millions of dollars worth of property
and without exception the members
report adequate protection and a
great saving in premiums. Actual
losses and the necessary operating ex-
penses are very small. The money is
retained in the community and does
not go to fill the Golfers of those al
ready rich. It is practical demon
stration of cooperation which can be
practiced in other lines where farmers
are honsst and can trust themselves
and each other.
