Tanagra Figurines in the Boston Mu-
scum Are Base limitations.
The discovery that twenty-fivelof the
twenty eight Tanagra figurines in the
Boston art museum are forgeries has
attracted much attention from artists
and art critics, largely because the Bos-
ton figurines were the best specimens
of the peculiar Tanagra potteries in this
country and have been widely copied,
cheap limitations of some of them being
found in the shop. of almost every
dealer in art goods and bric-a-brac.
The collection has been valued at $780,
900 and was given to the museum in
1879 BY Thomas Appleton. whose au-
thority on art subjects was so great
that the genuineness of his gift was
never questioned. 1t is not believed
that Mr.. Appleton knew that the fig
urines were forgeries, as the museum
judges at the Louvre, at Berlin and
New York were also deceived by forged
igurines made by the same persons
who are now known to have faxed the
Appleton pieces.
1ne urSI tullNdllO0 lQuC the BOSTON
figurines We're forgeries was the state
ment of John Marshall, an English au-
thority, that he believed them to be
spurious. Later a Greek shopkeeper
from New York told the museum au-
thorities that the figurines were part
of lot made in Athens in 1874. and
that he knew the maker. He produced
proof that fifteen of the men engaged
in the manufacture of the fictitious fig
ures were now in prison for the otfense.
Curator Robinson of the museum, after
hearing the Greeks story. recognized the
man named as the principal maker of
the forgeries as one known to him for
similar work in other lines. The man
is now dead. To the credit of the mu-
senm authorities, they at once decided
on an investigation of the figurines
themselves, and Mr.. Marshall, who had
called their attention to some of the,
evidences of forgery, was called in to
assist Curator Robinson. The figurines
were scraped and the forgery at once
revealed.

not claim originality in purpose, olgan-

but successful imitators of the Barbary
pirates and the bold barons of Germany
in medieval days. These latter were
the Rockefellers, the Hayemeyers, the
Dukes, Carnegies and Hannas of their
time. They built their castles on the
routes of commerce, ON highways or
commanding navigable rivers. They
threw chains across the Rhine not with
any idea of obstructing or discoura.ing
trade, but for purposes of tribute and

during his political career had been Il

years he had been bitterly opposed to the
policy of the Democratic party and at

Ignatius Donnelly was born Nov. 4,

for a lawyer but changed from law TO
politics and from politics to literature,
and then combined politics and literature.
Formerly a Republican, he drifted into
the Democratic ranks, and, having GER

what seems a good device for farmers
who have stock or other merchandise
for local sale. A prosperous farmer of
the neighborhood, named James jack
son, has standing at his gate a sign
board on which is painted in neat let
ters his name, the name of his farm,

he has a blackboard on which he h y
write what he has for sale. Mr.. Jack
son states that he has sold one horse
and two COWS and calves since the
erection of his signboard and he thinks
the quick sales were the results of this
advertising. Everyone knows the value
of signboards in towns; why are they
not of equal use to farmers?

Cruelty ,,f Docking.

Time anil time again has the ques-
ton Of docking the tails of horses been
discussed, and always the question of
humanity comes out on top. All the
driving horses in Russia have long
tails and the coachman of an ordinary
Russian carriage takes no trouble to
prevent the reins from dropping about
his horses hind quarters. In spite =
this, however, the reins rarely become
entangled with the tail, anG even if
they should do so the horses never
kick. This striking fact is an eloquent
answer to those who uphold the cruel
practice of docking, on the grounds
that otherwise the horse is liable to flap
his tail over the reins.

NOW WE'D AT HOME.
FASHIONABLE BRIDES TABOO
CHURCH FUNCTION.
Simplicity of Arran ements Contrary
to Former Elaborateness Society
Leaders Say Home Wedding Is Mors
Sacred Event-Guests Still Numerous.

The weddings of the fashionabIes
are no longer brilliant functions, +"
says the Chicago Chronicle. The elab-
crate affair of the past few years has
been replaced by a quiet home we'd
ding. which does not lend itself to long
descriptions. "And why have home
weddingg' some people ask. Wasn't
the old way the best:"
These fashionables who have planned
and executed the change have many
reasons for it. In the first place they
say a home wedding is so much more
sacred. One is inclined to ask them
why they did not think of that long
ago, before Mrs SO and So or Mrs.
Somebody Else thought of it. Why
didn't they have plain home wedding
when their first daughter was married.
Why was the church so much better
then than it is now? Not that it would
do any good to ask all these things,
for the fashionable mother of the fash
ionable bride would look at you in
grieyed wonderment If you did "a
house wedding is so simple and pretty
and my husband likes it so much bet
ter, really, we never could think of
having another church wedding" she
would repeat, much impressed with the
words. All of these reasons are an
avoidance of the point in question.
which is simply that home weddings
are now fashionable and are. therefore,
generally observed. Within the past
three months there have been thirty
weddings among the ultra-fashionable
of Chicago, and of this number but
three were church functions.
But there is more to it than the mere
fact that the home has succeeded the
church as a place for such affairs.
With the change the whole tone of the
function has changed, the bride is no
longer so deliberately gowned. the deco
ratiOns are not so extravagant, the
bridesmaids and groomsmen are not
so numerous and the guest list is es-
sentially much reduced. The wedding
is still pretty affair, hat * is not
gorgeous and the efforts of the rlost

The Earl of Hopetoun was sworn in at
Sydney, n. S. W., as first governor Of the
federated Australian colonies amidst
scenes'of pageantry such as never before
had been attempted in the antipodes.
Scores of thousands Of people participat-
ed in the demonstration and general joy
marked the occasion. The rejoicing of
the commonwealth was intensified by
message, which Queen Victoria sent
through the colonial secretary, Joseph
Chamberlain, and which was read by the
Earl of Hopetoun, as follows:
1.-The queen commands me to express
through you to the people Of Australia
her majesty's heartfelt interest in the in
auguration of the commonwealth and her
earnest wish that under divine providence
it may insure increased prosperity and
well-being to her loyal and beloved sub
jects in Australia
After his commission had been read
the Earl Of Hopetoun took the oath Of
office and signed it at a table which had
been presented by the queen a salute
of twenty-one guns, the playing of the ma
tional anthem by the massed bands and
rousing cheers re-echoing among the hills
accompanied this act. The signature and

he wants to eat them he is not obliged
to stop and count the cost. He has no
fear of starvation through stoppage of
