THE "vIRGIN OF THE NAPKIN"
Pretty Story Connected With Murillo's
Painting.


When painting the pictures for the
Capuchins, Murillo dwelt in 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-
scum of Seville, for the monks had the
wisdom to send their pictures to Cadiz
for safe-keeping before the ''Plunder-
master general of Napoleon, as Soult
has been called, could reach them
When the French wars were ended. the
pictures were returned to Seville. can
not speak Of them separately, but VIII
say that the Madonna called 'LaVirgen
de la Servilleta, or the Virgin of the
Napkin, now in the Museum, has this
pretty story connected with it. The
legend is that the cook of the convent
grew very fond of Murillo during his
long service to the artist, and when the
time came for them to be separated, the
| cook begged the painter for keepsake
The painter said he had no canvas left;
the cook quickly gave him a napkin and
asked him to use that; with his usual
good nature, Murillo assented, and soon
painted this picture, which is now one
of the famous art treasures of the world.
1t is not large, and represents the Virgin
with the Child Jesus, who leans forward,
almost out Of the picture, as if to well
come any one who approaches it. 1t

Pure Air for Stabbed Stock.

In order to keep animals healthy and
thriving when in stable. the air they
breathe must be pure and fresh. But
this cannot be had if the manure is left
there for days, or piled up so close to
the stables as to admit an offensive
smell when door or window is opened.
The stables should be regularly cleaned
morning and night, the manure carried
at once and spread over the land where
wanted for the next seasons crops, or
laid up in beds. When the latter is
done it should be in layers of about one
foot in depth, and if there is not plenty
of litter in it to prevent firing a layer of
straw or coarse hay should then follow,
or turf or muck. These will rot in the
course of three or four months and be-
come almost as valuable as the manure
itself, especially for fertilizing soil
