The ART INSTITUTE.
The Managers of the Infantry Hall
Exhibition are Well Pleased
With II.
SKETCHES MADE ON THE SPOT
Points About Painters william VI. Chase
the Artist-An Autumn Landscape, Mr..
Wait.

The manager of the Providence Art
Institutes exhibition of paintings at In
fantry Hall have been very much
pleased with the results Of their attempt
to place before the public some Of the
finest paintings in the State. The rooms
are quite well suited for the exhibition,
and the pictures which have been
kindly loaned, include some very
fine ones. The attendance has been
large, too, and the persons who have
visited the exhibition has been largely
those who have no other opportunity of
seeing such pictures-that is. those who
never 90 ont of the State 10 visit art ex-
bib tions. so that the object OF the insti-
t pe, to give the public II chance 10 see
co le ;tions of fine pictures, is rs fully re-
alized as could be expected from the first
attempt TO give apublic exhibition.
The fact that very many prominent
people have taken an interest in il and
loaned their pictures as well us their
time and energy shows what a disposi-
tion there is in the State 10 help along
the club in its laudable endeavors.
The number of people who have seen
the pictures some of the days is: Sat
urday, 1,200; Monday, 700; Tuesday,
700 or over. That shows what the club
could do if it had full facilities
Only few new pictures have been
added since the exhibition opened and,
indeed, there is scarcely room for new
ones.
/ saw a great many working girls
among the visitors and some young men,
but not very many of the latter, for
boys don't take so much interest as
girls. / saw good many middle-aged
and old ladies and quite a number of
old-fashioned girls leaning on their
fathers arms.
A group of benches is arranged in the
center of the room where the visitors
may sit and look as long as they like,
and it takes long study of some pic
lures to get at their beauties. 1t is very
interesting to sit and catch n new idea
after you almost thought the picture
stupid at first.
The fact that in three evenings about
$500 people visited the exhibition is en-
couraging. That is a large per cent.
of the entire population of the city. but
some of them came from Pawtucket and
elsewhere.

The Eureka fiat country abounds in wild
geese, and the hunters in that section are
having fine sport hunting them. The
geese swarm in the stubble fields to eat
the scattered heads of wheat, and the
hunters dig pits in these fields and lie in
them, having first set out a number of tin
or pasteboard decoys to attract the geese
a hunter named Adkins, while sitting in
pit near Fairfield waiting for geese, saw
a coyote sncnking down on his decoys The
cunning brute crept along on his belly for
about fifty feet, and then made spring Of
about twenty feet, landing ON top of one
of the tin decoys, He was the most dis

that he shot him, breaking two of his legs,

Power of "A Shaman.

The implicit reliance placed upon the
word Of ashaman and his influence over a
fellow tribesman may be illustrated with
this anccdote, A Sioux Indian, who had
lost relative by death, vowed TO kill the
first living thing he met. This was once
not an uncommon practice among our In
daus.
Issuing from his lodge he CHANGED to meet
a missiouary-a man much beloved by all,
from whom this Indian had received many
fayors Unwilling but bound by his vow,
he shot his bcnefactor as he passed. Indi-
an usage did not sanction a bloody retribu-
ton on the murderer, since the obligation
of his vow was recognized by all.
The shamau, however, upbraided him for
his act, and pronounced his doom, saying,
"You will die within the year"
The Indian though apparently a well
man at the time, was seized by wasting
disease, and actually did die within the
specified time, a victim to his own supersti-
tious imagination.- Youths Companion.

The Small Eel.

When the water becomes warm in the
spring, myriads of embryo cells appear.
The water swarms with them. They are
not much larger than darning needles,
contain almost no solid matter, only a
faint thread in tilament of jelly, but are
tremendously active, Before the discovery
of the utility of the clam worm as smelt
bait, eel was thought TO be the only article
that smelts would eat in the winter. 1t
has the merit CT being tough. A small
fragment of eel fastened upon a hook and
soaked in water swells like dried apple
and becomes tough, white lump. w.
