In the middle ages malice and super- stition found expression in the forma: tion of wax images of hated persons, into the bodies of which long pins were stuck. It was confidently believed that in that way deadly injury would be done to the person represented. This belief and practice continued down to the seventeenth century. The super- stition indeed still holds its place in the highlands of Scotland, “where,” says a well informed writer, “within the last few years a clay model of an enemy was found in a stream, having . been placed there in the belief that as the clay washed away so would the health of the hated one decline.”——New York Journal.

AN_ ENGLISH SCULPTOR’Si-SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY. John Bell Thinks That She Stood In the Vast Amphitheater at Melos Typifylng a Great Goddess Cmil‘crring Honors—A Problem In Art. ' Any number of attempts have been made to restore to her original perfec- tion the Venus of Melos, who has stood in armless beauty for the admiration of the thousands of art lovers who visit the Louvre, but the original design is as problematiml still as the meaning of the monster that guards the pyramids, and so accustomed have people become to the Venus as it emerged from the ruins of the Melos amphitheater that no sculptor has yet been able to effect a restoration which satisfies the sense thus cultivated. John Bell, an Eng- lish sculptor, has made the latest resto- ration. As no mention appears in ancient rec- ords of art, there is no knowing what personage or deity tho so called Venus may have been intended to represent. She has been entitled a Venus Victrix, and one of her lost hands is supposed to have held the apple, the award of Paris, while another speculation has been that she formed part of a group with Mars. According to another idea, she repre- sented a sea. nymph, the speci :1! protect- ing Nereid of the isle. By some she has been said to be 3. Nemesis, in connection possibly with the Athenian massacre of the islanders, about the time of the Pel- oponnesian war. By others she has been adopted as a. N ike or Victory. Others have assigned to her the names of Sappho, Phryne or a mourning Elec- - tra, while yet another version has been that she'was a lyre playing muse. The most general idea, however, has been that she was an Aphrodite or Venus, which is highly probable from the al- most universal worship of that goddess throughout the coasts and islands of the ZEgean archipelago, and it has been suggested that she had a harp in her left hand while she played on it with her right, which the position of the t'Orso and the remains of the arms admit of. But the most favored and at the same time the least dignified of the floating speculations is that she is coquettishly holding and looking in a. mirror. The argument in favor of this is that a bronze statuette hasbeen discovered in Pompeii which much resembles it, and it is holding and gazing in a mirror. To very many archmologists this last seems the most probable solution of, its mystery. Certainly the pose is appro- priate; certainly the demitoileted con— dition is in accordance with the theory too. But Mr. Bell is incapable of enter- taining this notion of its ‘ ‘motivo, ” and having addressed his thoughts to some mission that seemed to him more wor- thy he has decided that a great goddess conferring honors is more in keeping with the dignity of the sculpture. Though small, the island of Melos. must at one time, have been very popu- lous. It was famous for its catacombs, famous for its cyclopean ramparts and for its huge amphitheater. It Was in the ruins of this last, in a cave grotto, that the figure which from the Paris Louvre charms the world was found. Mr. Bell thinks its original situation was in the amphitheater; that it posed as the genius loci of the structure, and that at some time of commotion it was removed to the grotto for protection and concealment. ”Methinks I see her the§e, ” he says, “in the vast amphithea er thronged with adorers of the great goddess, the central object at some high festival. “Under this aspect what species of motivo is open to us for the restoration of this. noble work consonant with its grand form and majestic presence? She stands with the utmost firmness and dignity, and a benign smile is on her face as she slightly bends forward. The principal fractures indicate that her left arm and hand was raised and her right advanced before her. The amphi» theater in which I assume her to have stood was no doubt the accepted site for the holding of high public festivals and for the bestow'al 'of the insular honors for public services and for liter- ature, philosophy, poetry, music and the drama, and for victories in athletic games, which formed so integral a part in the culture of the Greek race. From the above considerations has sprung my conception of what it is' possible she may have represented and themode in which the lost arms and hands may have been held and employed.” In pursuance of this conception Mr. Bell has invested his attempt at restora- tion with ”the character of a great god; dess conferring honors. ” One hand be— stows a wreath of glory; the other holds one in reserve and there you have 3 Venus Denatrix.——M_agazine of Art. ,_ Simple Diet. A woman who writes for newspapers said the other day in the course of a dis- cussion on modern cookery: “I have a family of three growing boys as well as a hungry husband to cater for, and my experience has been that I can do it most effectually on the simplest diet. I do not: mean by that unpalatable food or that which is poorly prepared. I mean a good deal of steaks and chops, with well prepared vegetables. I have no time myself to see after- the affairs of the kitchen,‘ and I cannot: afiord to hire what is called a ‘fancy cook,’ but I have come to the conclusion that: my family thrives best on what is thus given them, substantial but not rich nor varied dishes. At any rate, they are always well and strong and happy, and what more can I ask than that?”~ New York World. , Blinds Sometimes. “Do you think, ” said Willie Wish- ington, “that it actually hurts, a man to be hit with one of Cupidfs._§§rows?” “No,” replied Belle PeppertOn. “As a rule, hé mérely becomes senseless for a time. ’.’-— Washington Star.
