VENUS DE- MEDlcI.
The Finding and the Restoration Of
the Famous Statue.

You have smiled at the story Of the
recently rich lady who objected to a
statue of the Venus of Milo because
the dealer had sent her a broken statue
Instead of a good new one. Do you
happen to know in what state of di-
lapidation the other famous Venus was
found when her remains were unearth-
ed in Rome in the sixteenth century?
The Venus de- Medici was discovered
along with several important pieces of
antique art when the excavation had
reached the depth of Hadrian's villa.
1t Is claimed by some authorities that
+, the marble goddess had been an adorn-
ment of the original home of the Cae-
sars. But it made no stir in the art
taken to Florence by Cosimo de- Medici.
The restoration was almost as impor-
tant as the work of the artist who
modelled and chiseled the lovely figure
In the high noon of art before the
Christian era.
The statue has been credited to
CleOmenes by some scholars, while
others insist that it was done by an
obscure Greek sculptor as late as the
time of Augustus. The work of resto-
ration was given over to the father of
Berntni, that Neapolitan genius who
was at once architect, painter and
sculptor and who served two such
patrons as Pope Urban VIII. and
Louis XIV. of France. The elder Ber-
mini, whose talents reflected so advan-
tageously on the court of that Medici
who was both Duke of Florence and
Duke of Tuscany, is scarcely known to
fame. Yet he took the thirteen frag-
ments of marble and restored by
means of them the most beautiful wo-
man in the world.-St. Louis Globe

Twice year in Washington they
hold curious auction. 1t Is called the
dead letter sale bat in reality it ls the
sale of packages that have been sent
to the dead letter Office because of de-
ficient postage or wrong directions.
After these packages have been held
for a certain length Of time, in order to
give senders or owners an opportunity
to claim them, they are sold at public
auction.
1t is often II strange and pathetic col
lection. Most of the articles are cheap
enough. although valuable things are
not lacking. But who can estimate the
intrinsic value of some of those lost
glfts-the time and sacrifice and love
they respect? How many lives were
robbed of a happiness that rightlully
belonged to them because of the send

SONGS THAT LIVE.
Stephen Fosters Ballads Won the
Heart of America.

Heart of America.
Stephen C. Foster, the writer of
American ballads, the producer Of
Americas most distinctive songs, may
or may not have lived In the golden
age of American music-that each may
decide for himself-but 1t was at least
a glittering age Foster fashioned his
songs, sang them and died. They were
American. And Foster has had no sue
cessor
In that day many persons sang and
played Every little hamlet had its
singing society. Music was in the
hands Of the people and for the people
and to the people and even of the peo-
pie Foster composed. His songs have
lived. "The Old Folks at Home"
''Nellie Gray" my Old Kentucky
Home" Come Where My Love Lies
Dreaming''-these and others from his
pen have survived many strange and
weird twists and turns In the history
of American music. They were born
out of the heart of the nation.
Fosters name may not be entitled to
place with great composers, and musi-
clans may turn contemptuously away
from his songs, but his songs live.
That may not make them greater mu-
sic in the judgment of musicians. but
1t gives them claim to respect. He
was a popular" song writer. We
have popular" song writer's today.
Their number is legion. But there is
no Foster among them
