a famous Paris Tavern.

The famous Chat Noir tavern of Paris.
which has just closed its doors, was for
years the haunt of artists. poets and mu-
sicians. Its appearance was that of q
hostelry in the Middle ages. A herald
announced each guest, as he crossed the
threshold, by blowing a trumpet. The
visitor was received by III. Sails in per-
son in Il room lined with pictures Of
black cats, with glistening eyes, reveling
by moonlight on housetops. \ waiter,
disguised as an Academician, came to
take his orders, addressing him in the
artists, with long hair, long threadbare
frock coats, and large bows, would come
in and sing original songs, accompanied
on q piano by one of their number.

A Hog-in-Transft Scheme.

For several years the through lines
have done what is called milling-in-
transit business. Grain is loaded at one
point, taken to the mill and converted in
TO flour or other cereal products and then
sent to the seaboard OF proposed destina~
ton on Il through rate. but not until very
recently has this method of doing business
been introduced in the shipment Of live
stock, and the freight officials of some Of
the northwestern lines have been outgen.
eraled by some of the stock shippers,
Eastern hog buyers are securing the coun-
try in search Of hogs to eat up the inn
mense corn crop of Nebraska, says the
Oakesdale correspondent of the Spokes-
man-Review. The railroads give them a
rate of 5000 to Chicago, and it is said the
car is loaded with stock hogs and shipped
to the desired point in Nebraska, where
they are unloaded, ostensibly to be fed.
After feeding. the car is again loaded,
but not with the same hogs. Instead fat
hogs are loaded into the car and shipped
to Chicago. Thus they get free transpor-
tation from Nebraska to Chicago. One
man has shipped 5000 head Of stock hogs
from Whitman county in this way, and is
now after more.

A STONE DRILLED BY WATER.
Hole Made in a Slab by Stream from
Pipe.

Hole Made III a Slab by a Stream from
Pipe.
G.. W. Smith of Waynesborough, Pa,
recently sent to the Western Maryland
College museum in Westminster q curiosi-
ty showing the effect Of a stream of wa
ter which by accident had been turned
against a solid rock. The stone belonged
to John Redmond of Franklin Landing,
n. Y, and was found a few feet under
ground, near a water pipe, which had
burst and discharged its water against
the rock nearly at right angles to its
smooth surface. The thickness Of the
stone is about inches, and the water
had cut entirely through it funnel
shaped hole about 5 inches in diameter on
the side nearest the pipe and about 2
inches on the opposite side. The rock is
a hard eruptive substance known as
trachyte, and the hydrostatic pressure
required to produce such a result upon II
must have been very great, us we'll as

RUN BY THE STATE.
AsSembIyman True Has a Bill for
the Creation of a Board of
Agriculture.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 6.-[Special i
A fight will be insy- sdrated in the Legis-
nature next week upon the outcome of
which Will depend the future of the State
Agricultural society Two bills will be
iRtrOduced, one OF which will have the
effect, IL it becomes 4 law, of Wiping the
society out of existence; the other of put
ting the society on its feet financially.
1he first bill is to be introduced by As
Setnblyman True, and it viii provide for
the establishment of state board of ag-
rtcUlture which will run the state fair in
the future If that institution is not abol-
IShed- The bill has not been completed
as.d it is not known just what the plan
will bea1n detail, but it is probable that
sLte board will be made appOintiye, so
that the state administration will be re-
sp0nsible for its acts. Three plans have
been suggested for the selection of the
members OF the board. One is to have
She members appointed by the governor,
another TO have them elected 10y county
them elected by the people directly. The
hfSt IS likely to be adopted.
The board is to consist of one member
from each congressional district and
three Or four members-at-large. They
viii receive no salary, If the present plan
is carried out but will be allowed a per
diem for actual services. The board viii
be empowered to employ Il secretary and
ether officials and the management Of
che fairs wili'devolve upon those officials,
who viii be paid 2 fair salary. 1t is
also suggested that the board be given
the management Of the farmers insti-
tutes, but as there is objection to that
feature it may be dropped. Besides run
ming the fair the board will look after
the agricultural interests of the state.
Under the provisions of Mr.. TrueS bill
the state would, of course, take the fair
grounds for its mortgage.
The second bill will provide simply
that the state cancel its debt against the
hands as at present. That or another
bill will appropriate $4,000 to pay a lot
Of small accounts against the society
which it is unable to pay. The passage
OF the second bill would put the society
IN sound financial condition and prob
ably secure for it q long life, but II is
the general opinion around the Legisla
tGre that no bill can pass which does not
contemplate the transfer of the property
To the state.
Gov Scofield is not antagonistic to the
society and if the Legislature should pass
4 bill Wiping out the debt it would not
follow that he would veto it, but he is
determined that matters shall not remain
as they now are. The so-called Nc
b'etr;dge mortgages have always been
CARRIED on the books of the state as
cash asset and Gov. ScOfield does not
propose to permit that sort of deception
any longer. He will not have an asset
oR the books that does not actually exist
Secretary Fleming believes that the
matter Will be adjusted finally and that
the S0cfety will continue it's existence in
better shape than ever before.

Herr A. Fuhrmann believes that colo

the documents ordinarily deposited in me-

that they should be inserted in such

sired to preserve there should be photo
graphed and put in together with the orig
inals with view to future enlargement
