Dr.. Robinson, director Of the Metro
poIftan Museum of Art, in New York,
has Identified an antique marble bust,
which has been in the museums store
room for 20 or 80 years, as being a
portrait of Herodotus, "the father Of
history" The marble, which has lain
in dust all these years, will now as
sumo an important place Of honor in
the institution.
There are but five known portraits
of Herodotus. The New York portrait
bust was originally found at .Benha,
IN Lower Egypt, and passed into the
possession Of Emil Brugsch Bey, from
whom it was acquired and presented
to the Metropolitan Museum Of Arts.
The recognition WAS based on the re-
Remblance Of the known portraits and
the finding Of the learned mans name
inscribed upon it. As a work Of art it
was not very highly regarded. but as

It assumes new dignity. It is also said

THE HOUSE OF DAVID NOEL.

For a long time the road had been
winding among passes, high walls of
rock and verdure. Now turning back,
the way had opened out before the
traveller, and Corey Bruce saw the
magnificent coast far below him, like
an u~nbelievably lovely picture that had
no limit, but finally merged into the
blue immensities OF the ocean. Invol-
unfairly he reigned in his horse and
looked, barring his head.
Far to the northward, like a magical
vision tie city stretched cleaning along
the shore OF a bay all rose and silver
light in the afternoon glow, and dotted
with islands green as the plumage of
the parrots in the forest around the
travellers. Away on eihtre hand as
far as the eye could follow, masses OF
mountains OF fantastic forms seemed
piled n upon another, until they
merged finally into sea OF cloud. The
superb forests crept down and clasped
the city, anu the city reached up TO-
ward the mountains: villas rested here
and there on clefts or great lodges

courses. As Bruce gazed, feeding his
sight with beauty, the Indian beside
him uttered a sound to attract his at
tention and pointed across the height
on which they were.

Bruce followed the pointing hand
with his gaze. On a slope, perhaps
five miles from him, one white man
sion cleaned out of the setting OF vio-
lent tropical colors. Even at that dis
lance, 1t showed a columned, classical
s~tateliness OF design, in contrast to the
usual florid Italian architecture preva-
lent in South America.
Bruce stared at 1t.
What do you call 1t that?" he finally
queried, and whose is it?"

see why that is its name. It belongs

DR.. Truett declared himself to be

sistent attacks against the Y. M. c.

sumed the proportions of propaganda
of some sort or other. He says the
behavior of the Y. NJ c. A. men over

the canteen-the canteen itself being
the greatest mistake of all. The one
great, original b under made by the
organization was in permitting the
