a eOGuS RELIC.
Amusing Instance of Way in Which
Museums Are Imposed Upon.

Amusing Instance of Way in which
Museums Are Imposed Upon.
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-
tion, when the Cathedral OF St. Denis
was so mutilated. the figures which or
Eamented the beautiful Gothic tomb
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 restoFerS stepped in SUBJ
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-
ist 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 a 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
ficulty which might be raised to plac-
ing a mans head above a woman's bust,
and so has modified both to a small ex-
tent; but there is not a shadow of doubt
that he has succeeded in palming of a
most unexpected imposition where he
could little expect TO.

THE INCoMPLETENESS OF LIFE
Mystery Seems n Part of the Earthly
Existence-God Satisfies the
Restless Heart.

Human life is like a Gagged bird flut-
tering against his barriers and seeking
greater liberty. There is an incom-
pleteness about life of which we are all
aware. If the chemist could only know
the exact number of elementary sub
stances, provided there are more than
ones. if the physicist could only know
the nature of electricity; the geologist
the age of the world, the psychologist
the relation between thought and mat
ter, and the theologian the origin of
sin, then life would be far more COM
plete, but also far less human. There
will always be a mystery upon earth
which reason cannot fathOm; while
faith will ever remain the Star of Beth
lehem that points to the birth of the
knowledge of Heaven.
In spite of the incompleteness of
human life, however, there is within
every soul the yearning for perfection.
And il is this Divine passion, which. Ike
the bird, beats against the worlds cage
and Graves the liberty of the natal air
of Heaven. Can any words express this
thought more beautifully than the ex-
restless. 0 God, and will never be salts
fed until it rest in Thee"
Many lives have been noble and have
left behind them a fragrant memory.
But we are all like sculptors who strive
to make immortal memorials for them
selves out of the perishable clay. Yet
thank God for this Divine yearning of
the human heart after perfection; for
though we do not attain it in this life,
we may by the grace of Christ expert
ence it in the life TO come. Though still
hemmed in by bars our eyes penetrate
the blue vault of Heaven. our nOstrils
scent purer atmosphere, our ears lis
ten for the harmony of Heaven, and
with our hands we reach out for the
help of our Creator while our hearts
sing in faith and hope and love.-L. B..

tary Hay.

Secretary Hays two daughters are
introducing the sensible fashions Of
English girls in society at Washington.
They dress in becoming girlish fash
ion, in pretty gauze gowns, without jew
els of any kind. Flowers and ribbon
bows are the only ornaments when in
evening dress. The elder daughter, Miss
Helen Hay, is like her father, with a
most attractive, piquant expression.
She is slight and girlish in figure. Miss
Alice Hay, the debutante of Saturday,
is more like her mother. who is quite
stout. Miss Alice Hay is sensible and
agreeable girl, and will no doubt be pop
ular as the daughter of the premier of
the administration.

FORGIVENESS OF OTHERS.
1t Is One of the Most Important EIe-
ments of Strength in the
Christian Character.

Injustice is hard to be borne. This
explains why forgiveness often, not to
say unusually, is so difficult. Whatever
injury may have been done to US, we
feel that we have been treated unjustly.
Often we are mistaken. But so it seems.
And injustice seems to concern not
only ourselves but the whole universe.
Not to resent it seems like disregarding
the public good, like being untrue to
the great principles of righteousness
on which the welfare of the race is
based. Thus we exaggerate our own
Importance and that of the injury
which we have suffered. Indignation
distorts the whole situation.
We are bound to forgive. God has
commanded us to do so. The duty may
be hard but not the less is duty, and
he who means to do his duty at all haz-
ards viii accept the fact. But he who
takes higher view sees in forgiveness
q privilege. The element of considera-
tion, and even affection, comes into the
matter. He loves others too much to
cherish hardness towards them. He
tries to look at matters from their
pOiDI u view anu usually mus euIIS nj
eminent. He thinks also of his own fire.
quent need of forgiveness and seeks to
do as he would be done by. The gentler,
more gracious spirit finds forgiveness
easier
Forgiveness brings its own rewards.
1t wins the love of others, substituting
it in the place of their hostility. Italso
secures that inward satisfaction which
is due to the loyal discharge of duty
and the hearty yielding to noble, holy
motives, the sweetest of all recon-
penses. 1t enables us to understand
better the Divine character, the for
giving. long-suffering tenderness of our
Lord. 1t expands, exalts, purifies and
dignifies the whole being.
1t is not sign of weakness, but of
strength. Tt takes higher degree and
a higher quality of character to forgive
than to persist in an implacable mood
1t costs a struggle, usually vigorous
often severe. and only a strong soul, if
any, eonquers readily. But when we
have learned the habit of forgiveness.
we have attained unto much of both the
strength and grace of Christ HIMSELF
