THE "VIRGIN Or THE NAPKIN."
A 1'ri'tty Story Cnimi-cte I With Murlllu'a
ralntini;.
When painting the pictures for the
Capuchins, Murillo dwelt iu their con
vent nearly three years, it is said, with
out once leaving it. He painted for
these monks twenty pictures with life
size figures, and several smaller works.
Seventeen of these are now in the Mu
M'lim of Seville, for the monks had the
wisdom to end their pictures to Cadi,
for safe-keeping before the "l'lundcr
m ister-gencral of Napoleon," as So-ill
.has been called, coul I reach them.
When the French wars were ended, the
pictures were returned to Seville. 1 can
not speak of them separately, but will
ay that the M.ulo'iua called "LaVirgen
le la Servilleta." or the Virgin of ihe
Napkin, now in the Mii-eiun. lias thi
pretty story connected with it. The
legend is that the cook of ill ' convent
grew very fond of Murillo (luring his
long service to ihe artUt, and when the
time came for them to be separated, the
cook begged the painter for a keepsake.
The painter said he had no canvas left;
the cook tu'ckly gave him a mipMn and
asked him to use that; wit li his usual
good nature, Murillo absented, and soon
ainted this pie uiv, which is now one
of the famous art treasures of the world.
It is not large, and represents the Virgin
with the Child Jesus, who leans forward,
nlmot out of the picture, as if to wel
come any one who approaches it. It
has a brilliant color, and so all'ei t- one
that it is not easy to turn away from it.

Forty years since -in those pleasant
times-fashion and literature were in
timately associated with public life.

'Were not regarded as characteristics of
a practical jtolitician; political questions
were the familiar topics of the .'( as
well as of tho lobbies: the social posi
tion of a Minister was not unimportant.
And hospitality was g ncrou-ly extend

Russell, in his evidence before the Diplo
matic Coinm'ttee, said he had never
contracted a debt until lie came into

of Mate is i'.'i.id'i a year. Classical
studies were c onsidered necessary fur a
gentleman's education, and had their
due weight with tin Hoii-e. This blend

DISAPPOINTED HUNTERS.
How a (.hi anil Woman Kept M;;lit
Sportsmen at Hay.
Eight residents of Redford. Pa., went
deer hunting last week oa RulTalo Moun
ta'n. They tracked a large, line deer,
and ono of them got a shot at it. The
deer was wounded, but it seemed in a
bigger hurry to getaway than ever, and
for an hour the niinrods followed it
only by the trail of blood which it left.
Finally a farm house loomed up before
tl'ein. and the trail of blood led right
into tlie enclosed back yard.
The party halted under a tree, ami
Cyrus Young was appointed a commit
tee of one to go to the house, explain
the circumstance, and ask for the game.
The rest of the crowd watched Cyrils
and listened. Cyrus knocked boldly at
the front door, and was met by a healt hv
linking, half-grown girl with' a revolver
iu her ha'id.
"ll-h-how far is to Redf ird?" asked
the embarrassed hunter, as the rest of
tiie party dropped to the ground to be
out of the sight of th" armed maiden.
Just then the armed maiden's mother
appeared behind her and struck out for
Young's eve with a brawny list that
ceined to lop o:V an arm a ard long.
Young would have retreated,' but the
irirl pointed the revolver a' li'lil and he
halted with sudden enthusiasm.
"I wonder if there i'.re any men
about?" said llarclerode.
"1 think not," said Minniek. "You
tackle the girl and I'll paralyze the old
woman."
"tiive nie two or three guns," said
Watson Stidler, "and I'll surround the
house."
"You fellers light 'em in front," sug
gested Crouse, "and I'll go around and
steal the deer out of the back door."
Satisfied with knocking Young out in
one round the old woman returned in
doors, as was thought, but Crotn. who
had crawled around to the back door,
hurriedly returned to his comrades and
announced that she had marched into
the woods with an energy -that could
mean nothing less than a set purpose to
.summon the male members t the fam
ily. He didn't bring the deer, either.
Each one of the Redford party had a
double-barreled shot-gun, but nobody
was anxious to be carried home on a
stretcher, and ('rouse was again de
tailed to see how large the male portion
of the family would be when it came in.
He soon saw the old woman approach
ing with four sturdy woodsmen. One
of litem carried a revolver, Ihe second a
shot-gun, the third a cross cut saw, ami
the fourth a double-bitted axe.
"Rovs, we had better start." said
Arnold, "if we want to get to Redford
before dark."
"Yes, let us go," said Rates, "I hain't
feeling well, anyhow."
"(!oid day. Miss," said Young, as he
backed oil', flowing politely to the fair
damsel in the door-way, and keeping a
sharp eye on the revolver.
"I never did like venison," remarked
Minniek.
"1 wouldn't be bothered lugging the
animal home." growled (Seorge Stilller.
"If I wasn't so awful tired." said
Crouse. "I'd make them fellers think a
cyclone had struck 'em."
' "The doctor told me the other day."
chimed in Watson Slifiler,"that venison
wasn't healt hv eating this mild
weather."
"Well, boys." said llarclerode, "if
vou want blood I'll lead you. I've fit a
powerful sight in my time, and I'm not
afraid of that gang, old woman and
all."
The vote, however, stood 7 against
blood to 1 for blood, and as llareh-io le
magnanimous!1.' moved to make it
unanimous and they slatted oil", fie old
