Venus of Milo

THE Venus of Milo in the Louvre, Paris, is
supposed by some to be the work of
Alexandros, one of the Asiatic Greek sculptors.
1t 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
1t was discovered the Island of Milo in
1920 by peasant. 1t was in niche in wall
which had been buried for years. The Mar
quis of Rivere bought it and gave it as pres
ent 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 it has two blenishes, which have been
repaired by modern artists. The tip of the
nose was broken when it was found and also
the foot which projects beyond the drapery
In point of fact, it has great deal more
resemblance to a goddess than to a 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.

An Eelskin in the Toilet

A MONG the New York Dutchmen, especially
1 \ in Irving time an eelSkin was esteemed as
potent nourisher and strengthened of the hair.
The skin was also used in queuing the hair.
The Eskimos believe that the salmon and
whitefsh were created by a spirit which, with
a piece of pine and a piece of balsam, sat on
the river bank and whitfield from the
pieces alternately These fell into the water,
those from the yellow wood becoming salmon,
and those from the white wood whitefsh.
The fat of the grayling, mixed with little
honey, was remedy for tan, redneSs of the
nose, or freckles. The fat of the carp was be-
lieved to be remedy for peculiar disease
known as "hot rheumatism" while the gall
was used liniment for sore eyes. That
rubbing the part affected with a red herring
will cure rheumatism is still positively asserted
by old fishermen; while in Scotland a cure for
about the person a piece of dogish, the fish
being returned alive to the water after the ex-
cision is made.
Many New England fishermen believe that
cod before storm swallow small stones as bal
last; while others think that if the skin on the
belly of the catfish is unusually thick it indi
Gates cold winter; if not, mild winter will
follow. Another current weather superstition
is that if catfish jump out of the water, rain
is near at hand An old superstition still cur
rent is that if herring is eaten at the coming
in of the New Year it will bring luck during
the year. Old people in New England say
that consumption can be cured if the sufferer

community should person get fshbone in

Ewes Tempter

THE South Sea Islanders believe that the
i animal which tempted Eve in the Garden
of Eden eel; while in Egypt the eel
was worshiped a god.
Ees were favorite subjects in the old phar-
macopeia. Hippocrates forbade their use as
food in cases of tables and diseased spleen,
while Galen prescribed them as medicine in
nephritic complaints, where the gluten might
claimed that their use as food impaired the
complained that Ito live on eels is a sure re-
cipe for spelling the voice
In the Middle Ages ees were put to many
medicinal uses, some of which still in vogue
in Europe and this country. To prevent collie,
girdle should be made from the skin of an
eel and Worn round the waist. In New Eng
land an eelskin is worn round the waist to keep
off rheumatism; while almost every boy be-
lieves that an eelskin worn round the ankle
when in bathing will prevent cramps. In
Scotland the fresh skin of an eel is tied round
the leg like a garter, in cases of cramp and
sprain; while many of the women, believing
that ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure, wear the eel skin as a garter all the
time.
For persons suffering from weak nerves the
old English remedy to mix NORWOOD
root. gall of trout. brain of pike, and oil of eel
over hot fire. and take this mixture in doses
of three spoonfuls at time. A powder made
from the cells liver considered sovereign
remedy for deafness, while in certain parts of
England fever cured by the application
of an eel. Curiously enough, the Abyssinians
apply electric eelS to cure feverS.

ted fishes is the eel, and
many and varied are
the superstitions which have gathered about
this species. In ancient times they were thought
to have been engendered from mud; Pliny
believed that they rubbed themselves against
the rocks when tired of living, and from the
detritus issued new breed. Still others be-
lieved that they came from the carcasses OF
animals, or that the soaking of stations tail
would breed them. The Greeks ascribed their
paternity to Jupiter and white armed goddess
named Anguilla.
In later times it was thought they came
from May dew, from the skins of the old eels,
from those of snakes; while even to this day
the belief is prevalent in some parts of the
world that eels are not born from other eels,
but from certain fishes. On the coast of Ger
many fish related to the cod, which brings
its young living into the world, owes to this
circumstance its name AAmnter (eel mother)
In Sardinia the fishermen cling to the belief
that certain water beetle, Dytfscns roeselii, is
the progenitor of eels. and therefore call this
insect the mother of cells" There is widely
prevalent in this country belief that if a
horse hair is attached to string and placed
in running waite! it will eventually turn into
an eel
