Gypsy Jewelry.

Like their more favored and better
civilized sisters, gypsy women are rep
resented by the best Authorities to be-
piassionately fond OF iewelry, notwith-
standing the fact that their extreme
poverty renders it impossible fer
many OF them TO crafty this taste.
Trinkets OF greater or less value, ac-
cording to circumstances, are worn by
them, being limited in number only by
the means of the wearer. Ii the
gltana is unable TO have her ornaments
OF gold, silver jewelry will do. and il
silver trinkets are beyond her means
brass will suffice.
As brilliancy OF color is the first con-
slderation in n gypsy's attire, size is
the chief merit of her Jewels. Among
the Weather cypsies, ii there be such
thing ms wealth connected with tho
race, the Moorish, Egyptian and ORR
entail designs find most favor. The
poorer content themselves with strings
OF coins or cheap medals. without re-
gard to the event or parsonage they
are intended to commemorate. and

AustraIia's Pest.

There have been no practical sug-
gestions on the subject of the rabbit
pest in Australia since Pasteur's uep-
hew visited the country for the pur-
pose of destroying the pests by inocu-
iation. Afterwards, some weu-meaning
Englishmen who had never been in
Australia conceived the idea OF
organizing company which would
utilize many thousands of the rabbits
for food, canning the meat for export
Unfortunately for the success OF such
an enterprise it was easily shown that
beef could be killed. canned and ship
ped to the Continent for about the
same price. The rabbit-canning idea
was not even seriously considered by
the Australians themselves. There
are no rabbits in Queensland. A fence
of woven wire has been built from the
eastern coast for about 500 miles
westward. separating Queensland from
the country to the south. There arc
regular fencc-rlders employed to watch
this fence, and when rabbits break
through and are seen within the
boundaries the mischievous iuvruders
are hunted down and destroyed.

MURILLo's MULATTo,
A Boy Artist Who Found Ont by Accl-
dent that He Had lent.

dent that He Had T ,lent.
The famous Spanish painter Murillo
had little mulatto boy named Sebas-
tian, the son OF Gomez. negro slave.
The little fellow was employed In the
workroom In which the pupils of the
master carried on their studies, and
had to grind the colors, clean the
palettes and wait on the youths, who
often treated him with ridicule. but
something occurred in the studio which
soon engrossed all their attention.
One morning one of the students
found part of his worl, completed
which he had left unfinished the prev
ious day; and the amazement of the
young men increased when day after
day they found additions. and some-
times corrections. made on their can
vases. They accused each other of
tampering with their work in their
absence, but this was strenuously de-
MED. and matters reached climax
when one OF them, who had commenc-
ed a picture on tho Descent from the
Cross. on going to his work in the
morning found the head of the Ma
donna painted in! How it got there
they could not imagine, as it was bot
ter than they could have painted it; SO
they told the master OF the mysterious
circumstance and showed him the
head. He was surprised at its excell-
ence, and thinking Sebastian must
know about it, as he slept in the room
every night he told the boy that unless
he found out the unknown artist by
the following morning he should be
severely whipped.
The poor little mulatto was in an
agony of terror. for he himself was the
mysterious painter. Having natural
genius and intense love for the art, he
had all this time been secretly study
ing and practising painting on the can
vases OF the students before they came
in the morning, and listening earnestly
to the master whilst he was giving
them instructions. and being but u
slave and in dread of the scourge he
thought that II he confessed it were he
II would only subject him to still worse
punishment for his presumption. so he
resolved TO eXpunge the Madonna's
head and never paint any more.
But when he rose early in the morn
ing to carry out his intention. and
looked at the beautiful face, he had not
the heart to rub it out but set to work
TO finish it instead. And so absorbed
was he as the time went by that it was
only on hearing a rustic behind him
that he turned his head and beheld
the students. with the master himself,
looking on in admiration.
The poor little slave fell on his
knees. imploring pardon, but Murillo
kindly raising him up. asked him what
reward he should give him for his
skill and industry. Sebastian only
asked for his fathers freedom, which
Murillo at once granted. and giving
him his own liberty also. received him
among his pupils. He soon distin-
guished himself and became a cele-
brated painter. but he was better known
as Murillo's Mulatto than by his proper
hame of Sebastian Gomez. He died
in 1890. having survived his master
but few years. His principal works
may still be seen in Seville.
