a BOGUS RELIC.
fAznusinw instance Of Way in Which
Museums Are Imposed Upon.

Amusin1 instance Of Way in Which
Museums 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 revolu-
ton, when the Cathedral of St. Denis
was SO mutilated, the figures which or
namented the beautiful Gothic tomb
of Dagobert was thrown down. and for
the most part destroyed, ali that re-
NAMED being the body of his Queen
Nantilde nnd 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-
list in the collection OF the Beaux Arts
in Paris and in the National Bavarian
museum at Munich as examples to stu.
dents of all that is best in Gothic art.
= But this is not all. In the great mu-
scum at Berlin, in the sculpture de.
partment. there is q 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 diff.
fculty which might be raised to plac-
ing mans head above a woman's bust,
and 80 has modified both to small ex-
tent: but there is not a shadow of doubt
that he has succeeded in palming Off q
most unexpected imposition where h<
could little expect to. 5s r l. s,Izs@..: Si

Christmas Tree Enterta,nment,


The JOINT Christmas tree entertainment

Much credit is due the young people for
the same az we'll as to those who part
icipated in the program, and also to Mr..
Sven johnson, the superintendent OF the
Norwegian Sunday school, whose gener-
osity added much to the mutual enjoy
ment OF both old and young. The Xmas
tree was daintily decorated under the
direction Of Constable jacobson aided
by Mrs. Anna Eliasen and others. Santa
Claus appeared for the first time in the
settlement publicly, in costume with "a
pack loaded with "goodies" for each one
present, and aoded much to the amuee-
ment of all. Finding the chimney too
small he resorted to window conven
iently near through which he entered
amid the cheers Ut the audience. Mr..
John Eliason with his violin added to
the enjoyment of the program. A
."quartette" recitation, "Joy to the
World" by the Fourth and Fifth reader
GLASSES, was received with much enthusi-
asm. The s. s. furnished portion of
the program which was rendered in the
Norwegian language.
Acting upon time-honored old coun-
try custom, the school children placed
sheaf OF grain in the top OF a tree in
the front of tho school house on Xmas.
Eve to furnish the birds Yule-time
feast "a most worthy act, not SO much
on account OF the actual benefit derived
by the birds as for the lesson of kindness
and thoughtfulness it tends TO .inculcate'
It is custom all school children might
continue with profit to themselves.
