EGOTISTICAL, BUT ARTISTIC. 2L Paris* Klatue of Franca Presenting the Ifevr Century to ihe World, The roost beautifnl as vrell as tho most egotistical bit of statuary that has been unveiled In franco In many n day is a co lossal bronze group called "The liopubllc Present ing to tho World tho Now Ccntu- ry.

Both fig* ■ urea aro of bronze, • and tho group is 'about seven fcot in height. Tho statuo was recent ly unveiled in tho French town of V illonouvo-sur- Lofc and baa at tracted a great deal of attention among lovers of art. * Tho statuo is tho work of A!. Paris, a French THE statue. sculptor whose ex hibits occupied deservedly prominent posi tions at tho World’s fair in Chicago and wero greatly admired by vlsltora to the French section of tho Fine Arts palace. After the close of the fair they wero given honored places In some of tho leading art gallorics of tho country. That Franco la a great country no ono will deny, but it requires a stretch of tho imagination to discover her right, or tho right of any other country, for that mat ter, to usurp tho functions of Father Timo oven in n group of statuary. Wbilo tho Idea is somewhat too fanciful and egotis tical to win tho favor of sculptors and art lovers of other countries, it will do very well for homo exhibition. Divested of its preauxnptuouB idea and viowed simply as n work of art, tho statuo cannot fail to ndd materially to tho already high reputation of M. Paris. THREE MISSOURI SURPRISES.
