caravannlo Picture Found.

An important find has been made in
the art collection Of Marchese della
Stufa at France. 1t is a painting by
Caravaggio, which had been lost sight
of for many years. The painting was
known to connoisseurs through print
in the Galleria degl Ufzzi.
Sig di Pietro, the secretary of this
gallery, was determined to find the
picture 1t was known that in the
year 1900 1t was in possession of the
Cerretani family, which is now ex
tinct
Sig di Pietro, while examining Mar
chese della Stufa's collection saw the
painting and Immediately identified it.
The Uflzzi print is an exact reproduc'
tion Of the picture, which is typical
Caravaggio. It depicts six youths, one
of whom is playing violin, one lutte
and one a flute, while two are singing
and one is listening.-New York Sun

A large proportion OF the wheat

Germany from the port OF Odessa by
steamers which reach that port with

the desolate and monotonous coun-
try of the wheat producing district,
one was most favorably impressed by
the Crimea. The Crimea may be said
TO be the wine and fruit-producing dis
trict for the whole Of Russia, and at
the moment l am writing these lines
(April 20 the vines are just com
mencing to shoot. The Crimea Is es-
sentially a land of hills, and it is on
these hillsides that the vines are
grown. Cereals are produced only in
small quantities-the climate is too
dry and the soil too rocky to permit OF
extensive operations in this line. A
little wheat and oats are grown, and
occasionally one sees a field of rye
already bursting into ear, while far
up the hillsides orchards with fruit
trees-apple, pear, apricot, plum
laden with blossom, throw their per-
fumes far over the land

this common land the whole of the
cattle and sheep OF the village are
pastured together, looked Otter by one
OF the villagers. and the mixed stock
presented a remarkably pretty sight
On the large farms horses are largely
employed for blowing, and one often
saw a young foal following its mother
patiently up and down the burrows.
A noteworthy point is the entire abb
sence Of hedges-as far as the eye
can reach, field after field stretches
away with monotonous regularity,
often not so much as a single tree
breaking the uninteresting landscape.
Comparatively little OF the cereal
straw is stored up, but most Of it
is burnt in the engines driving the
threshing machines. Where farming
is practised on so extensive a scale as
in the wheat-growing districts OF Rus
sia, the farmer naturally is unable to
have his servants under his eye, and
cases are on record of farm laborers
carting the corn to their own stand
ings instead OF those Of their employ
er. The absence OF any organized sys-

,
the staple crop, and It is from this
cereal that the peasant makes his
bread, The rye is put into the ground
in September, and thus is able to
make start before the advent OF
the winter snow, early In November.
Between Petersburg and Moscow ag-
riculture is in a primitive condition.
The fields are extremely small and
have a neglected appearance, while
the houses of the villagers are in
a dirty condition, the cattle and pigs
in some instances sharing the dwell
ings with their owners. The ro-
tation here practised Is rye oats
and then fallow, to allow the
land to recover somewhat. Proceed
ing south, however, one finds better
conditions prevailing. The fields be-
come larger, wheat takes the place Of
rye, and one gradually enters the enor-
nous wheat producing district Of
Russia Passing through this district,
which extends from Kharkoff TO the
beginning Of the Crimean peninsula,
for hundreds of miles the country, as
far as the eye can reach, is given
over almost entirely to the raising Of
cereal crops. The fields are enormous,
more than one field stretching for sew
eral miles by the railway line, and
as the whole district is sparsely pop
ulated, the problem at once presents
itself: From where are the landown-
ers to obtain an adequate supply Of
labor? They must depend entirely on
the services of the villagers, and as
the latter are quite independent Of
them, they have no power to force
them to work should they be disin-
clined to do so. An instance of this
occurred a short time back. A land
lord who owned farm of 10000 acres
had "a fine crop of 900 acres Of beets.
When the time arrived for the har-
vesting of these roots the peasants of
the village-on the excuse that, as
their own harvest was an abundant
one, there was no necessity for them
to work-point blank refused to do
the harvesting of the beets, and the
whole of the country had to be secured
naturally, at considerable expense
to procure laborers. Throughout the
extensive corn-growing district re-
ferred to above there is an almost
entire absence of root crops, with the
exception of beets, and only very
small proportion of the land Is under
grass or hay. How the stock can
be maintained under these conditions
through the winter months Is difficult
to understand, but the animals seen
were in poor condition as compared
with the English cattle. The most i'm
portant breed of Russian COW is the
Yaroslav but on the estate where the
writer has been staying the stock con-
sisted of Jersey cattle, and crosses be-
tween these latter and the Yaroslav are
looked on favorably. English pigs,
Yorkshire and Tamworth, are also
kept. Very little stock is kept on the
majority of Russian farms. AS well
as the cereal crops, one frequently
noted fields given over to the raising
of sunfiowers. These are reared for
the production of salad oil, which is
used extensively during Lent, and
the seeds are also eaten largely by
the poorer classes. The farm land of
a village community is easy to dis
tinguish from that owned by the
landlord, from the fact that the former
is invariably In narrow strips. On

For shade, trees should be planted
wherever 1t is desirable to be shielded
from the hot rays Of the summer sun.
Not all shade is agreeable. The
shade Of some trees is too dense and
others too light. A heavy wooden
blanket properly suspended will make
a shade; so will mosquito netting, but
it would not be best to use either
Trees with a close, compact head and
large, heavy leaves may make too
dense a shade.
There is much bad tree planting,
and even worse lack Of care after
planting. Much has been written about
how planting should be done. 1t may
be we'll to note few things that
should not be done. The following
are some of the things to be avoided;

A million dollars a night. That's

here's how he spends the million:
Dinners, $125OOO; suppers and wine

100000; hotels, $175,0O0; cafes, flow
