Chserful Banquet Of the Thirteen Club
J.. at Winona.
The Thirteen Club were entertained
st the residence of one of their members
in Winona the other evening. The club
is composed of twelve members, and at
their gatherings they invariably have
one invited guest to complete the num-
ber thirteen. The club has been in ex-
istence over three years, and its MEM
bers have banqueted together five times
during that period. yet not one of them
or OF the invited guests have died,
thus proving the fallacy of the old su-
perstition. The banquet was given in the
midst of superstitious emblems and dec
orations, prominent among which
were genuine skull and cross-bones
and many other references to the grave
The menu cards were decorated with
hand-painted designs, such as skull
with the mystic XIII" on its forehead,
sErd of wisdom ,perched on deserted
Ncranium, a black cat, raven, a witch
astride a broomstick, horseshoe and
whip, and coffin containing skull.

FLOGGING IN CANADA,
Thirty Lashes Given Prisoner In q Ouebe,

Thirty Lashes Given a Prisoner In q Quebec
Penitentiary.
Within the past year the old-time
mode of Furnishing certain class OF
criminals in Canada with the applica-
tion OF the lash has been rapidly re.
vived. The st. Vincent de Paul peni.
tentiary, in the province OF Quebec, was
the scene of a well-merited flogging last
week. Two weeks ago one Joseph
Donnois, alias Cursor, who has
been wandering around the coun-
try in the guise of priest, was
sentenced, in accordance with the new
Dominion law, to two years in the
penitentiary and to receive thirty lashes
for annoying little girls. Cursor is an
old offender, having received twenty
lashes in the Montreal Jail two years
ago for similar offense. The flogging
was given with the greatest precision
and dispatch. After the days work was
over and the other convicts had re-
turned to their cells, the prison physi-
clan, accompanied by guards went to
Curson's cell, and after examining him,
made a written report that the prisoner
was in fit condition to receive the pun.
ishment. Cursor maintained a stolid
Indifference as he was led forth to the
basement, where the flogging was to
take place.
Immediately after bis arrival the
guards, keepers and officers to the num-
ber of forty marched down to the base
ment, where they formed three sides of
~<l
Warden Ouimet and the chief keeper.
The triangle to which Cursor was to be
tied stood in the middle. After having
divested himself Of his coat Cursor
stripped TO the waist, walked with firm
step to the triangle, to which he was
strapped by four guards. A stuffed
leather strap was then put around his
neck to protect it. At signal from
Deputy Warden Mccarthy the officer
who was appointed to infiict the punish
ment stepped forward, and, taking up the
cat-o'-nine-tails, waited for the word.
In minute there was sound, and i'm
mediately afterward the nine knotted
ends lashed the white flesh. Cusson
never WINGED, but at the third blow he
groared piteously, and kept it up until
the end. When the end WAS reached
half of the back from between the
shoulders down was one mass of
lacerated flesh. When he was un-
fastened from the triangle Cursor
walked over to the bench where his
clothes lay, and his back was covered
with cloth saturated with salt and
water. Cursor then dressed himself
and, accompanied by two guards.
walked firmly upstairs to his cell.-Ot

PERFUMING THE FLESH.

The Latest Use to Which Paris Danes
Have Put the HypOdermic Syringe.
A curious hypodermic maDia has taken
hold Of portion of Partisan female soci-
ETY.. 1t is nothing else than the perfuming
of the flesh and blood of the body. The
curious result is obtained by the hypo-
dermic injection of a few drops of the
most pungent essence. The fact was dis
covered by one of the leaders of n certain
class, who was addicted to the habit of
using morphine by injection. She noticed
that after an unusually heavy dose of tho
drug her body eXhaled very perceptlbly its
characteristic ordOr In the spirit of curl
osity she then charged her needle syringe
with few drops of patchouli, and pres
emily, observed the same result. So pow
erfully did her flesh eXhale the per-
fume that her linen was scented
with it almost as strongly as, though
the extract had been sprinkled there
on. She was highly delighted at the
discovery, and for time kept the secret to
herself. using the knowledge to Increase
her attractiveness. But one day the trick
was discovered by her maid, aud soon it
was in general use. Ladies of the grande
monde, ever ready to follow fashions set by
their supposedly Trailer sisters, Eext took it
up, and now the needle-pont syringe is
necessary part of every toilet outfit
The most curious effects are produced by
the habit. Some ladies keep themselves
redolent of one perfume, while others vary
the flavor according to occasion. One
grande dame, for instance, is saturated with
roses at dinner, with jasmin at tine opera,
aud with violets at the ball. Unfortunately
the habit is attended with considerable
peril. chiefly in the form Of blood-poisoning
from impure extracts, while some of the
extracts are themselves poisonous. Several
ladies have been made seriously i'll, and
medical authorities are considering whether
the Legislature may not properly prohibit
the fashion.-Paris Letter, in N. o. Plea

New YORK, July 2S.-The Tribune pub
fishes in full Blaine's fve-column letter of
June 30th to the British Minister in refuta-
tion of Salisbury's claim that the United
States had once disputed Russia's soyer-
eighty in Behring Sea, and says 1t must be
apparent that Great Britain is forcing us
into position in which we must assert tho
principle of self-preservatiOn. She had ad-
mitted our fairness and the business of our
moderate claims. but with his own record
staring him in the face, Salisbury, coerced
by his colony, now asserts claims that are
utterly irreconcilable with his previous ad
missions and impossible for us to allow.
He has brought the negotiations to such
state that we are justified in calling upon the
British nation to consider carefully what it
wants. Does it want to 60 to war with us
to support its colony in what Salisbury has
himself called "the wantOn destruction of
valuable industry" If it entertains no
such purpose, it should give heed to what
its Government is doing. 1t should know
that its Prime Minister has delivered to our
Executive a very distinct intimation of
war; that he has said he would hold the
Government of the United States response
BILE" for the acts in protecting its valuable
industry" from "wanton destruction" The
American people do not want any war.
They only ask what the English Government
has admitted to be theirs by right OF pur-
chase, or what Salisbury has admitted to be
fair and just. 1t is time the English people
waken to the fact that their Government is
leading them iuto troublous and dangerous
waters.
