Lying POSTER SHOWS.
Tic Rural Pastor and the ONCE boy who Was
Not Discriminating.

The living picture craze Is dying n slow death.
Just now its expiring efforts take the form OF
living posters. Church entertainments seem to
be the most prosperous fields for these poster
pictures. Oyster suppers and fish ponds are in
dlsfavor. and posters hold tho day. There is
another touching proof of tho unexpected ways
in which Providence works. Little did the
poster artists think, as they ,splashed orange and
vcrmilion, that they were clothing the heather.
Some of them couldn't even have Rugged the
delusion that they were clothing their models.
A short time ago the pastor of n church in the
northern part o fthe State wrote to the editor OF
n staid apd respectful bic magazine. He explained
that his flock was, endenvoring, TO pay the
church debt, and had planned a living poster ex-
hibltion. 1t would be esteemed a great favor II
the editor would send him some copies OF posters
usei in advertising the magazine. Tho editor
turned the matter over to an employee. The
employee handed IL TO. a boy. who wasn't dis
eliminating. The next day some one asked the
boy what posters he sent.
"Weil, / don't remember them all. sir, but /
sent that lovely ono Of the lady without any
clothes on a-sitting on the grass"
The minister hasn't been heard from. but the
entertainment was given last month; and, as
the poster was intended for a midsummer cpl.
sode, the church society probably decided 1t was
out OF season.

DINNER ON THE CONTINUOUS PLAN.
Scheme OF n CIubmnn fur Having Each Course
Cooked TO Perfection.

Cooked TO Perfection.
A new development Of the continuous show
mania has struck the town. To he moro exact.
tho idea has occurred to a clubman and he in
tends to put it into substantial form at once.
ut is this way" he said. "A man who has
lived in Now York for a long time and has had
money enough to live well has learned all about
the hotels and restaurants and chop houses. II
no wants n certain Plat, he knows just where
that one thing Is prepared in perfection. Every
chef has one or two things which ought to make
him immortal.
whenever several men sit down to dine to-
gether, somebody is sure to say. apropos OF one
OF the courses. There's no place where they
make this as they do at s. Now, I've often
thought what a glorious thing it would be IL
one could give a dinner where each dish would
be absolutely perfect of it's kind.
but that's a poets dream. There never was
n chef who was equal to that. Perhaps, II one
had money enough to sQuander, one could collect
all the chefs from the different places, hire them
for an evening. and have each one conc9ct q
to. and so they would hzzlo out after ali.

is one for which some particular house is
famous. III have carriages mt my door at z.
We will step In and drive TO the first place. eat
our oysters, drink and talk for a while, and
then drive to place number two for our soup.
You see the idea. I've figured carefully on the
| time required for courses, 80 that ! can arrange
beforehand 10 be served quickly at each place.
i had some trouble about the wines; for they
didn't connect with the dinner. The place for
a certain dish wasn't the place for tho wine

settled now; I'm going 10 collect the wines in
advance and send them around.
20 course, there's a little inconvenience
about II; but the fellows won't mind that In so
good q cause, and II will be the best dinner ever
served in New York. None OF the drives will be
long; and interludes OF fresh air will probably
do us good as the evening rocks along.
Great scheme, isn't it'll Bound to be a sue
cess. Sort OF q vaudeville dinner with chefs do

vaudeville act with each course wouldn't be badl
I must think about that Still, maybe that

OTTAWA. Jan. 19.-The report Of the st. Vim
cent de Paul Penitentiary Commission has been
sent to the Dominion Minister Of Justice. The
evidence disclosed an astounding condition Of
affairs. 1t was shown that the penitentiary
vault was stacked with undelivercd letters for
prisoners, and that 60 per cent. OF the envelopes
were never opened until the dny the vault was
searched. 1t is also in evidence that in one Of
the periodical clennings q convict. detailed to
burn letters. opened as many as he could un-
noticed, and secured $50 which had been sent
in small sums by friends.
Bibles. prayer books. and beads were found in
great quantities in the vaults. They had been
sent TO the convicts, but never delivered. Hero
is one of the numerous cases cited: A youth.
who had been convicted for a first offence. pre-
pared q number of little souvenirs In the shape
Of paintings on wood and addressed them ITO
Mother" ITO Sister," sc. and with them he
wrote letters. telling Of his reformation. and
how he would Join them all soon" after Christ
mas and be q better boy IL they would only
write him a letter forgiving him. He waited
his whole term in vain. and was discharged in a
hardened and embittered condition Of mind.
Doubtless the forgiveness, for which he longed.
would have been sent to the boy had his little
presents and letters reached his friends. They
were found, on the floor of the vault, stamped
and ready for the mail.

n1nnitobn wheat.
WINNIPEG, Jan. 1s.-Premior Greenway Of
tho province Of Manitoba is on the way 10 New
York on an important mission. For n year he
has been planning somo outlet for the grain
shipments Of western Canada, independent Of
tho Canadian Pacific Railroad. Controlling the
only line between Winnipeg and Lake Superior
at present, the Canadian Pacific, by imposing
discriminating rates against shippers who pat
ronize the lake vessels Of rival steamboat COM
panies, keeps the export trade almost entirely
In its own hands.
Premier Greenway's project is the construc-
ton OF n railroad from Winnipeg to Duluth,
which would handle wheat at 10 cents q bushel,
2 cents cheaper than the G. p. H., and give the
West nm independent outlet by way OF Duluth
and Buffalo. A New York syndicate was pre-
pared, 1t is said, to undertake the construction
OF this line. when the scheme was balked by the
refusal OF the Dominion Government ut Ottawa
TO render any assistance. A serious falling out
and much hard feeling resulted between the
members of the Dominion Cabinet, particularly
Mr.. Sifton. formerly of tho Manitoba Govern.
mont, and Premier G~reenway's Minister'S.
Since the failure OF tho first plans, Mr.. Green
way, Col. Mcmillan, and Attornoy-Goneral Cam.
cron Of Manitoba have had several important
conferences with Now York capitalists, coming
and going unobseryed by, those opposed to the
Winnipeg. Duluth line. Important results are
anticipated from Premier Greenway's present
hurried trip to the East, as the details OF the
project, which have been carefully kept secret,
must be presented to tho Manitoba Legislature.

1NGHAr1rUDE TOWARD PARENTS.
DIR. Clark says They Are Sent to AsyIums by
Their Children.

OTTAWA. Jan. 19.-The report OF the inspect.
ors of lunatic asylums for Ontario show that
9o5 patients were admitted to the provincial
asylums for tho insane last year. The number
of patients in the asylums is 4 ,279. In his an
nual report Dr.. Clark Of Toronto says there is a
growing tendency to send age persons to tho
asylum who are harmless and could be kept at
home by friends. 1T Is disgr- ceful TO see how
such a helpless condition as membranes and
are prepared to commit them to an asylum
simply to get rid of them"
insane, he says AT least go per cent. of the
insane are foredoomed by h"redity. Much
of this tendency could be avoided were there
some way to prevent unsuitable marriages. Tho
time will come when the taxpayer will cry out
for redress when the increase Of taxation shall
densome to support in institutions the mighty
army of diseased and defective citizens who
have been begottcn in sin and enfeeblement."

1NTITOXIS FOR SWINE.
Experiments shaw That Il IL Emcacious In
Cases or Hog Cholera.

SHbe W thoH bo'EE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Dr. Salmon, chief of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, has submitted
to Secretary Wilson a report upon the expert
ments made in the treatment OF hogs for hog
cholera with antitoxin serum. This serum is
MADE upon the same principle as the antitoXin
of diphtheria and is obtained from both horses
and cattle which have been inoculatcd with the
hog cholera virus. The blood of such animals.
when injected under the skin of swine, pos
sessed both preventive and curative action.
This serum was first used upon small animals
in the laboratory. and being found eftcacious
was last fall tested on several herds OF swine in
Page county, Iowa. Out of 244 animals treated.
Of which SO were already sick. only 80 died.
Consequently 81. SO per cont. OF the animals in
these herds were saved. while about 30 per cent.
OF untreated herds died.
Secretary Wilson regards the result OF the
experiments as most encouraging 10 the farm
ers, whose losses from hog cholera for many
years have been so enormous rs TO weigh
heavily upon them. He IL OF opinion that IT IL
absolutely essential during the experimental
stage that serum OF undoubted gu .lity be used,
and he therefore prOposes 10 ask Congress Tor
an appropriation which Will enable the Depart
ment of Agriculture to furnish two million
doses or the serum for distribution during the
coming year. Tho present cost OF the serum 10
10 cents per head OF animals treated only one
dose being required.

WINNIPEG. Jan. 19.-The millcrs of the Red

enough wheat in that region to keep all the

think it will be necessary to shut down many of
the mills. unless wheat is shipped back from
Eastern markets. This, of course, would not be
profitable.

Is likely to, prove embarrassing for many OF
