German, italian, Belgian and Spanish
artists are well represented and the Jap
anese designs give one a new idea OF the
art OF that always artistic nation.
American posters compare favorably
with the foreign ones; indeed, in an ex-
hibition now open IN Paris, Louis d.
Read has been given place of honor.
AT the museum a number OF original
drawings by him and many reproductions
make II very evident why the honor now
conferred.
Will II. Bradley's Chap Book drawings
are shown with others by him. His care
full drawing of details and fine sense of
decorative effect OF black and white
rank him very highly among designers.
The Harper posters issued monthly
to all newsdealess are known TO all.
They are by Edward Penfield, and, with
is Others o. his, make a good exhibit.
Ethel Reed shows a large number
whose qualities rank well with the others,
her effects with one impression of black
on a colored paper being very fine.
Proba bly, he first poster made in Bos-
by Louis Prnng in 1852. A copy is hung
in the smaller room near the collection
OF T.. Il. BIRD.
Mr.. Burleigh designed the poster which
is advertising the exhibition about town.
This and the one calling attention to the
Tolman and Marshall exhibition at the
Art Club shcw that local advertisers need
not 60 out of town for effective work.
Among the advertisers, publishers
seen TO use the poster most, and promi-
nent in this collect ion are two by Louis
j. Read for The PROVIDENCE NEws,
advertisements of the New York san,
New York Herald, Boston Herald and
other dailies, Harper's, Scribner's Lippin-
cott's and other monrhlies.
Rather curious is the fact that person
who would re indignant IL bill was
posted on his back fence gladly pays
from % cents to, as many dollars TO ada
one TO his private collection.

FlREsIpE FRAGMENTS.

--Jellied Veal.-Boil the veal tender
pick it up fine, put in a mold, add tho
water it was Boiled in, and set it in
cold place; season with salt and pepper
TO taste. A layer of hard-boiled eggs
improves it-Home.
-Tincture of grindelia is said to be
an excellent cure for ivy poison. Dilute
it with about three parts of water and
battle the affected parts. 1t should be
applied as soon as the irritation is felt
and before the characteristic pustules
appear.
J IA good way to solve the problem of
how to take care of our dress waists in
these days of large sleeves that are so
easily crushed is to screw several of the
frames on which mems coats are hung
into the ceiling of wardrobe or on the
lower surface of closet shelf and hang
the garments on them.
Rice Puffs.-To make dozen, take
a cupful of cold boiled rice, two cupfuls
of milk, pint of -four, a teaspoonful of
salt, o tablespoonful of melted butter,
and three eggs beaten to a froth. Mix
thoroughly together in the order
named, have the gem pans hot when
filled, and bake for half an hour in a
rather quick oven. Serve hot, with
liquid sauce.-Good Housekeeping.
-Pistachio Cream.-Blanch one-half
pound of pistachio nuts and pound
them to paste with a teaspoonful of
brandy. Add the paste to pint and a
half of good cream, sweeten TO your
taste, add the yolks of two beaten eggs,
and stir it over the fire until it becomes
thick. Pour it into n glass dish, and
when cold stick long shreds of pistachio
nuts over the top.-Boston Budget.
"A Good Brown Brcad.-Two cups of
sour milk, one cup molasses, one cup
sifted graham -four, one and half tea
spoonfuls of baking soda, sifted with
one third cup of white flour, one tea
spoonful salt. Mix molasses and sour
milk, then stir in the meal and flour;
pour into two Small, buttered pals and
steam three hours, then set in the oven
and bake from 20 to 30 minutes. Sweet
milk may be used if preferred. Do not
throw away the bran that is left after
sitting the graham flour. 1t makes an
excellent an nutritious jelly.-Ladies'
Home Journal.
Onion Tart.-Peel and slice the
onions thinly. Line dish with pastry,
place a layer of onious in the bottom,
sprinkle over pepper, salt, a little flour,
then more onions, then salt and pepper
until the dish is full. Pour over .ome
sweet cream or butter and milk, and
coverwith pastry; bake until the onions
are tender. This is delicious 4 &C M
paniment to the baked or boiled meats.
Another method is to use alternate lay
ers of sliced onions and potatoes, both
raw, season with salt, pepper, butter,
and pour over little milk or water and
bake until done. No pastry is used in
the latter recipe. Both should be
served very hot.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Don't interrupt me, sir. You had

1t was then that you attempted to take
my hand. You need not deny it. You
know it is too true. And now, sir"

The TOurah Prison.

The chief prison in Egypt for
male hard labor convicts is at
Tourah, about eight miles south of
Cairo, where the adjacent quarries,
which once furnished limestone to
the builders Of the great Pyramids,
supply unlimited scope for labor
six days week. There are $50
convicts, and though 100 of them
are ''lifers," there are others whose
term is only forsix months. Strict
discipline is maintained by sixty
five warders, who are unarmed and
donot even carry stick or whip;
but by night there are nine SEN
tries and by day there are four,
who patrol the roof and the out
side of the prison, and who know
how to use their loaded rifles with
deadly aim. These sentries are
blacks from the equatorial prov
inces, and have prevented more
than one attempted escape. Near
ly all the convicts are natives OF
Egypt. the blacks only supplying
five per thousand and the Nubians
averaging only two per thousand.
ANY extra bad characters among
the convicts. such as the ring
leaders of attempted revolt or es-
cape, are locked up at night IN
solitary cells to lesson their chances
of communicating their fellows.
AS a whole. the convicts are by no
means of a ruffianly type, and
their physiognomies are very like
those Of the ordinary peasant. In
this country, where crime is at
such minimum and where even
the lunatics are as quiet as sheep,
it is not too much to hope that ed
ucation and improved environment
may one day do much to improve
the lot of the townfolk, from whom
the convicts are mostly drawn.
The 'ticket-of-leave" system has
not yet been introduced into Egypt,
and would certainly be worth a
trial, for at present there is very
little incentive to well-conducted
convicts to lead a peaceful, hard
working life within the prison
bounds. Every visitor cannot fail
to be struck with the very healthy,
well-fed appearance Of the pris-
oners, and on inquiry [ was told
that there were only fourteen on
the sick list-The Lancet.

Quick Work.

A Cincinnati man describes a
novel sight he recently saw at a
mill devoted to making paper of
pine tree pulp. Il was invited to
select a tree" he says, (which [
did, and it was cut down for me in
the morning. l watched it during
the day undergoing the various
processes Of paper-making, and at
six o'clock that evening the tree
was paper. At midnight por-
ton of it was sufficiently dry to be
taken to a printing office, and a
few of the copies Of the next morn
ing's paper were printed on this
product. From a tree to printed
newspaper in twenty-four hours is
probably the best time on record. :"

A Positive Condemnation.

Rev. DR.. Arthur L. Pierson, is
a man of positive views and
strong convictions, and when he
speaks he speaks to the point as
rule. In witness Of this We quote
a recent utterance of Dr.. Pierson
on the temperance question. Il
believe" he said, that strong
drink is abhorred by God, and the
main curse of the earth on which
we live; that pauperism and crime,
and disease and insanity are it's
natural offspring; that it is an in
vention of the devil: that it is fos-
tered by the depravity of man;
that it leads to untold suffering,
sorrow, want. and woe; that it de-
poses the reason: that it brushes
noble affections; that it sears the
conscience and perverts the judg-
ment; that it leads to a quick de-
scent into drunkard's grave and
a drunkard's hell. But when man.
hood once comes under it's power,
it seldom has any resurrection, or
knows the powers of a better life;
and that when Jesus Christ comes
in glory, He will Judge and con-
denim the drink traffic and the
drink habit. [ believe that strong
drink is the direct foe Of the inhu-
ence of the spirit Of God; that it
is a fruitful source of contention
and strife in society, and even in
the Church of God; thatit promotes
the most grievous sins: and that
the drunkard shall never enter the
kingdom of Heaven, but will be
consigned to everlasting death"

CHINESE oUTRAGEs.

The recent horrible atrocities at
Cheng Flu, China, shocked the civilized
world to almost as great a degree as
the assassinations in Armenia, and yet
it would appear from the dispatches
recently published that the mission
aries were to certain extent to blame,
in that they did not cooperate with
the Chinese officials when asked to do
so and work in harmony against the
murderers and looters.
In connection with this statement,
the people Of America are gravely as
sured by Kung Tanjen (who is evident
ly the Bill Nye of China that the en-
peror has a perfect horror of every
kind Of outrage, and that he feels GER
tain the late atrocities will not occur
again
The story, however, translated from
a Chinese paper and published in The
Herald of yesterday, would indicate
that Kung Tanjen had good reasons
for his statement. Whether or not the
missionaries in China buy converts in
order TO make a showing it is a
well-known fact that the practice is
INDUCED in in India to very large
degree. The duplicity and general
rascality of the Chinese-especialIy
the lower class-is proverbial The
brightest thinkers of the country who
have studied the effect of Chinese mis-
sionaries on Chinese character are al
most a unit in asserting that no China
man was ever converted to Christian
ity-that while some of the crafty
heather might assume to throw aside
their Pagan education and breeding,
not one of them did so without a sor-
did and selfish motive behind his ac-
tons. Those who understand the ways
of the heathens can readily be brought
to believe that if the missionaries de-
sired to buy converts it would be an
easy matter to do so; and that if they
did not openly purchase them it would
be no hard task for the pigeon Eng
lish'' Cinnamon to impose upon them
as the Chinese paper alleges is and has
been done

FRANCE AND WALLER.

That the French government or the
French people really desire to do any
thing that will in the remotest degree
mar the very cordial relations that
have existed between them and the
United States. no one in this country
will for one moment believe. But not
withstanding these relations the
course of France in the Waller case
has been such as to threaten them.
That the affair will be amicably adj
justed is not to be doubted, for France
is clearly in the wrong, and this is
recognized by the English press, and
they are expressing their opinions on
the matter very freely. This will have
a tendency to pique the French, but it
will not deter their government from
doing what their pride and instincts Of
right must dictate as the proper thing
The delay in doing this has been ag-
gravating, but not to such an extent
as to be serious. But to further pro
long this delay will raise i'll feelings
on either side, and national i'll feel
ings are not soon or easily allayed.
