sembled in the theatre armed with
spear and shield, and taken to the
sanctuary of Agraulos, at the foot of
the citadel, where they bound them
selves by a solemn oath to the
service of their country.
For the two following years they
served as guards on the frontier,
and after that they were admitted
to full citizenship.
The statue is of bronze, two feet
seven inches in height, and dates
from about the fourth century B. c.
In the attitude of the figure it
bears a resemblance to the famous
Lycian Apollo of Praxiteles. Its
artistic character also suggests that
beautiful statue Signor Pariben,
director of the National Museum,
has decided, however, that it does
not represent Apollo but simply an
ephebus. 1t belongs in the same
class with the most beautiful works
of Greek sculpture that have been
discovered.
The youth raises his hand to his
head with a very natural attitude,
as if conscious that there is some
thing very unusual about his hair.
The attitude is a graceful one and
rather feminine in character. A
youth who had been brought up
with long hair up to his sixteenth
year would, of course, have to fol
low feminine methods of keeping it
in order.
The mirror has been partly
broken off, but the nature of the OBJ
ject can easily be discerned. Other

condition.

President Poincare has a cat
which he esteems so highly and OF
which he is so fond, that right at
the moment Of receiving the greatest
and most profitable honor in the gift
of the French nation. he pauses to
write its praises. Manifestly a cat
of such quality will not be without
a paw in the new administration.
NJ. Poincare writes:
This cat is gifted with a strange
and complex personality. Voluptu-
Gus and epicurean. treacherous and
cunning, hayward and ferocious
authoritative to the point of
tyranny, it has, you observe. nothing
but faults, but these faults. which
in any other cat would be absolutely
insupportable, become in the case of
this cat, by the manner in which he
uses them, qualities of the highest
value
He has perfect sense of humor.
and knows exactly the value of a
well-timed joke. His tact is won
derful; he can end a difficult situa-
ton in the most graceful and natural
manner. I have never seen this cat

pas With astonishing celebrity he
will choose between two solutions of
a question. not only the better from
his own point of view as suiting
his interests, but the more elegant
and agreeable, and the one most
likely to draw approval upon him
self.

eXcels in; not that obvious and

and offends sensitive people, but that
variety which careSses eXqUisitely
