One OF the Duke of Marlborough Art
Treasures Worth q Kin9S
.a-u Ransom.

The costliest picture in the world is
owned by the duke of Marlborough,
who has large and very expensive col
lection of pictures which has come
down to him from the original duke
of Marlborough. says the ST. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The rarest of them
is the Blenheim Madonna" painted by
Raphael in 1907 and now valued at
$350C00. The picture was originally
painted for the Church of the Servi al
Perugia. 1t is eight feet high, repre-
senting the madonna and child seated
on throne, with a figure of ST. John
the BAPTIST on the left and that of ST
Nicholas of Bari on the right, the last
two being life size. Its high value is
due to the fact that it is one of the best
preserved of the pictures of Raphael
which are now in existence 1t has been
proposed that the British government
buy this picture. Blenheim palace is
so-called in honor of the battle which
the English, under the duke of Marl-
borough. won over the French. and was
given to the great soldier by Queen
Anne. Every year a little flag worke
with feur-de-lis is sent to Windsor
castle by way of rent and hung upon
the walls of the castle.

Under the furrow method parallel
burrows are plowed, leading from the
ditch through the field between the
rows of the crop to be irrigated. A
small opening is made in the ditch to
let the water into each furrow. A dam
of canvas or earth is placed in the
ditch just below the lowest furrow into
which water is being run at the time.
thus holding the water nearly level in
that part of the ditch from which 1t
is being drawn. Where the slope of
the ground is excessive these burrows
must be run diagonally or irregularly
in order to reduce their grade and thus
prevent erosion of the soil.
In the case of fruit trees 1t usually
is desirable during hot weather to pre-
vent the water from coming into actual
contact with the trees, because of the
danger of scalding. Flooding the
surface also results, in some soils, in
baking and compacting the earth about
the trunks and roots of the trees To
avoid these consequences one or two
burrows are plowed along each side of
a row of trees, at a distance of two
or three feet therefrom, and the

The Chinese soiree.

When you call on ChinamAn who is
able to have a servant, the first thing
that the servant does is to bring in two
cups of tea. He puts one in front of
the master and one in front of the WIS.,
itor. Then the master indicates that
you shall drink from the cup before
YOU. If you want to incur his everlast-
ing enmity go ahead and drink. He
merely asks you to drink for politeness'
sake. He does not want you to do it
and expects you to refuse for polite
ness sake. Letting the tea stand in
front of you, you proceed with your
interview, and you are Mt liberty to
continue it, and you may feel that you
are welcome until the host picks up his
cup and takes n sip. That is the polite
way he has of telling you that the in
terview is ended. The polite thing for
you to do then is to take one sip of your
tea and depart. The right to drink the
first sip of tea, however, goes with
rank. If the visitor outranks tile host,
no matter how much the host may
wish to be rid of him, he must sit until
the visitor chooses to take a sip of his
