VENUS or MILO.

The Famous Ancient Statue d che
Louvrs at Paris.
The Venus Of Milo ID the Louvre,
Paris, is supposed BY some to be the
work Of Alexandros. one OF the Asiatic
Greek sculptors. It Is said that the
base OF the statue bearing the artists
name was destroyed for the purpose Of
causing the king Of France to believe
that the work was more ancient than
It really was.
It was discovered on the island or
Milo In 1920 by a peasant. 1t was ID
q niche In a wall which had been
buried Tor years. The Marquis Of Ri
we're bought It and gave Il as present
to Louis XVIII. Of France. 1t Is made
from two blocks of marble joined above
the drapery which envelops the legs.
AS it now stands 1t has two blemishes,
which have been repaired by modern
artists. The tip OF the nose was bro
ken when 1t was found and also the
foot which projects beyond the dra-
perry. " s Re ;s536
4 In point Of fact, 1t has great deal
more resemblance to a goddess than
to beautiful woman. At one time it
was dressed In clothes of modern
sort and the effect was anything but
pleasing. The figure Of the statue is
not at all adapted to modern clothes

Why He Did Not Marry.

AS q reason for not marrying
Brahms once wrote to a friend: /. At
the time when i should have wished to
marry, my compositions were either
Kissed at or at any rate very coolly5
received. I knew their worth, though,
and that sooner or later the page
would be turned, and In unmarried
solitude never really took my re-
verses to. heart But to be questioned
by wife at such moments, to have:
her inquiring eyes anxiously fixed
upon me, to hear her ask, Again a,
fascor no, that could never have
borne, for. however much she loved
me and believed In me, I could not
have expected her to have unwavering
faith In my subsequent victory. And
had she attempted to console me! Ugh!

been little less than hellr' Monthly

The stories which have become 90
widespread In Europe Of the wholesale
