"A St. Valentine Dinner.

The New York Herald offered a prize
of $25 forSthe best design in table deco
F~fations for a ST.. v ai1nsine dinner OF
SIX. a large number of drawings were
submitted, and the prize was awarded
to the design herewith presented.
The table is seven feet by four and a
half. The cloth is white satin damask
and the center-piece a diamond shaped,
plate glass mirror, eighteen inches
long by fourteen wide. Hearts fit about
this outlined as solidly as possible in
red carnations. Within the hearts stand
five branched silver candelabra, with
red candle-shades. Three small heart
shaped cut glass dishes filled with
heart-shaped chocolates, peppermints
and wintergreens, and one with sailed
almonds. are placed near the candel-
abra. -.
At the corners Of the table are fiat
Topped bows of satin ribbon, five inches
wide, with long ends reaching to the
bottom of the table cloth. On each bow
is placed a slender cut glass vase, eight
cen inches high, with twelve American
Beauty roses arranged carelessly. The
ribbon should match the roses. From
the chandelier foar ribbon streamers,
four inches wide, of the same shade,
are suspended and fastened on to a rose
in each vase. In the center a carrier
dove is hung, with a small white en-
velope attached to its neck by a silver
cord.
At each cover are four forks, four
spoons, two knives and five glasses, for
water, champagne, claret, sherry and
cordial. On the napkin is placed a
white linen picture frame, heart-shaped
and embroidered with solid red hearts,
outlined in gold. In them may be in
serted either the dinner cards or a suit

there might not one day be slipped into
some of these pretty favors the present.
ment of that very face which maidens
long to dream of on St. Valentines
Eve?
To secure the vases to the table, a
simple device may be employed. Sew
a piece of kid the size of the standard
of the vase, in the center of each bow,
then sew each in turn firmly to the
tablecloth, and underneath, to the same

With winsome ways and debonair,
When sweet she smiles on me l swear
That Eden's light is resting there
Upon those lips SO ripe, so fair!
To look upon her face old Care
Would cease to carp and court Despair,
Would give up dole, his trade forswear,
Don sunny locks, make Joy his heir,
What wonder, then, that l should dare
Her praise to sing, her colors wear,
Her valentine myself declare?
This merry maiden. radiant, rare!'
Sending valentines has become a IA
vorite method of amusement among
children, who buy one-cent missives
which contain a verse of poetry with a
fat cupid or a transfixed heart entwined
with lilies and forget-me-nots, the po-
etic sentiment being something like
this:
Can pictured paper fondly prove
My fixed devotion and my loye?"
Many years g an English journal
copied the following notice from the
advertising columns of an American
newspaper, the Wooster Democrat.
showing the popularity of St. Valen-
tines day, and at the same time the
peculiar form of advertising in vogue
in this country:
THE great increase of marriages
throughout Wayne county during the
past year is said to be occasioned by
the superior excellence of the valen-
tines sold by George Howard. Indeed,
SO complete was his success in this
line that Cupid has again commits
stoned him as great high priest of love,
courtship and marriage, and has sup
piled George with the most complete
and perfect assortment of loves armor'
ever before offered to the citizens of
Wayne county. During the past year
the blind god has conferred his thoughts
on producing something in the line far
surprising anything he has heretofore
issued. And 1t is with 'felinks' Of the
greatest joy that he is able to announce
that he has succeeded"

at It Cost to Garry Passengers on
Western Roads.

There is a surprising amount of mis-
Information among the people regard
ing the cost Of carrying passengers OF
railroad trains and to this con-
dition as a public mind is doubtless
due much Of the sentiment in favor
of lower rates, which is finding ex-
preston through bills for sweeping re-
auctions in the legislature of many OF
the western states this winter.
Mr.. P. S. Eustis, General Passenger
Agent of the c., B. & @. r. R., in argu-
ment before the house committee OF
the Missouri legislature las: week on
the two cent bill gave some valuable
and surprising information about the
passenger business in the west. His
statements were based upon the re-
ports of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission Of Missouri
and are therefore beyond question.
MI. Eustis showed in the first place
that the volume of passenger traffic on
railroads is dependent upon the density
and wealth of population in the terri
tory through which it runs, and then
compared the population OF Missouri
and the traffic resulting from it with
the same figures in other states, thus
clearly illustrating the theory of his
point.
The following table showing the rel
alive population and rates is interest
ing in this connection:
