Amusing Instance OF Way in Which

of Dagobert was thrown down, and for
the most part destroyed. all that re-
manned being the body of his Queen
Nantilde and the head of his son Clovis.
When the restorers stepped in sub
sequently they made the best they
could of the bits, putting the sons head
on the mothers body and calling it the
Refine Nantilde. Not long ago more in.
telligent 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 pre-
served. But meanwhile casts of the
hybrid were taken. and they still ex-

which give it an antique appearance.
