Grand Trunk Secures Space al
SpOrtsmen's show.

SROANDAMGAD CAAUWs
The Grand Trunk Railway Company has
completed arrangements for an extensive
exhibition in connection with the second
annual Sportsmen's Snow to be held in Chi
cago from February 3 until February %.
the Show is beingiheld in the Coliseum, a
large building admirably suited for the pur-
pose. The exposition will probably be the
finest that has ever taken place in America,
exeelling even that held in Philadelphia dur
ing last December. The Grand Trunk ex-
hibit will include the collection OF large
photographs of scenes throughout the sum
mer eresort districts situated on its line,
including the Muskoka Lakes, Lake of Bays,
Magnetawan River, 10000 Islands of the
Georgian Bay, Kawartha Lakes, and Lakes
simcoe and Couchiching, as well as views on
the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes in the White Noun
tains, and surf bathing scenes taken on the
Maine sea coast.
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1900 square feet, and
will be one Of the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand
Trunk has expended thousands of dollars
in bringing before the people of the United
States and foreign countries the beauties Of
the Canadian districts. In the districts EN-
braced in what is known as "the Highlands
of Ontario" nearly 10000 tourists were car.

BEDLAM OF EARLY ENGLAND
An Institution for Poor and Insane
Patients That Was Nothing More
Than n fHOrrible Prison"

In the twelfth century madmen were
taken to St. Bartholomew in London,
and, according to the monkish narra-
tives, many wonderful cures were eff
fected Up to the sixteenth century
monasteries and prisons and eeclesias-
teal hospitals contained cells into
which lunatics were received, but it is
probable that they were given little
care or treatment, and that the public
at large was the chief beneficiary by
their incarceration. In 4547 the first
lunatic asylum not under ecclesiastical
administration was established in Eng
land. The priory for the order of st.
Mary of Bethlehem, founded by Simon
Fitzmary, a sheriff of London, in 1247,
in St. Botolph's without Bishopsgate,
London, had for century and a half
been used for the reception of luna
In this year, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, the institution, for long
before called Bedlam, was transferred
Ia Henry VIII. to the authorities of
the city, with an order that it be con-
verified into a house for the reception
of lunatics. 1t stood in an out-of-the-
way place, close TO many common
sewers, and accommodated but so or
60 patients. For very many years, how
ever, the place remained horrible
prison." says Sibbald, ''and not hos
pital in any sense of the word. Cup to
the year 1910 the patients were ex-
hibited to the public like wild beasts
in cages. on payment of a penny, and
they are said to have afforded much
sport to the visitors, who focked to
Sc them in numbers estimated at not
less than $4,000 annually. Some whose
condition was so ameliorated that they
were no longer considered dangerous
to the public were licensed to go beg
cling. On their left arm was placed
an armilla-an iron ring for the arm
about four inches long, which they
could not get off"
"They wore about their necks," says
Aubrey, as quoted by Disraeli, ga great
horn of an OK in a sling or bawdry,
which when they came to a house they
did wind; and they put the drink given
them into this horn, whereto they put
stopple" In a Tom of Bedlam song
which dates from the first part of the
seventeenth century, the comforts OF
his asylum life are thus alluded to by
the licentiated beggar:
In the lovely lofts of Bedlam
In stubble soft and dainty,
Brave bracelets strong,
Sweet whips ding dong,
And a wholesome hunger plenty.
About 1875 when the licensing oil
beggar lunatics was stopped by law, a
new Bedlam three times the capacity
of the old was erected in Moorfelds

Now we have in Minnesota, three forms of
Cicadas, but we do not have or have not had as
yet any information of the 4seventeen-year To-
Gust or periodical Cicada, which appears once
in seventeen years in certain localities east and
south of us. This Cicada Is perhaps most
easily distinguished from other Cicadas by the
fact that its eyes are red. The injury caused by
this species lies for the most part in the fact
that the female in egg-laying makes gashes in
the twigs of fruit trees and shade trees there.
