As there are So many creamerics going into
opcra,ion this spring, and as many more are
inquiring the way, we deem no apology neces-
sarv for referring to the subject so often. 1t is
desirable that all our citizens in engaging in
the business should bring to bear all the prac-
tical sense they have to spare. There is Il RS
ing feeling on the subject, and without the Ut
most caution there will be defeat and disaster
in many cases. Yet there need not be. Cau-

THE BUILDING.

A building about 20x40 two stories, is CON
sidered sufficient for the milk of 500 cows.
Cooling vats or tanks are the best cut out of
rock, but can be made Of cement, or even
plank. A good, substantial building had better
be built at first And the arrangement for cool
spring water conducted to just the right place,
cannot be too highly estimated in locating the
creamery.

Senator Reaney offered a resolution request
ing the Governor TO return to the Senate the
bin relating to the board of education of the
city of st. Paul. Referred to Ramsey county
delegation.
IN COMMITTEE OF The WHOLE,
Senator @. f. Buck in the chair, Senator
Reaney offered substitute for the bill relating
to the obstruction of navigation on the Missis-
sipi river, and the substitute was ordered to be
placed at the head of general orders to-day.
The bill providing for the removal of feeble
minded children from the insane asylums to
the institute for the deaf and dumb and blind
was discussed at length and referred
to special committee of three to consider this
and two other bills relating to the same sub.
ject, and who are to report to-day at o'clock.
The bill providing for constitutional conven-
ton was recommended to pass. Mr.. Mealey'
bill relating to the grading of wheat coming
mp, that gentleman suggested that as it would
probably excite considerable debate it would
be better TO let it go over until to-day, but sew

out delay.
Senator Williams moved to amend by strik-
ing out the provision in section 4, providing
| for offering damaged grain for sale.
| Senator Rahilly announced the bill as a
| measure intended to defeat the brass kettle
| bill, and said it was in the interest of ware
house and mill men.
Senator Mealey disclaimed any such inten-

pledged his constituents to endeavor to dc
something for them in this respect, and he
believed this would be satisfactory to them.
Senator Thacher said that Mr.. Mealey had moi
desired to have the bill come up to-day and
moved to lay it aside and that it be made the
special order for Monday at 8 o'clock.
Senator Page, as practical and represents

Pneumonia.

There are few diseases In which special
treatment adapted to Individual cases is
more important than IN pneumonia; for
the measures that would be salutary in
one case would DE injurious, or even fatal.
In another. In the belief, therefore, that
such general directions as could be given
IN the limited scope of this article would
be likely to do quite as much harm as
good, the few remaining remarks shall re-
fer to the office of nurse rather than to
that OF doctor: The patient should lie
with his shoulders somewhat elevated. In
protracted and debihtated cases, his posi-
ton should be changed occasionally. in
order to prevent the settling of the blood
in any part OF the lungs. Care should be
taken to expose the chest and body as
little as possible. The air of the sick.
room should be of uniform tempers.

ventilation. In early stages, what little

naceous drinks, such as gum water. bar.

The Tramns.

A woman and man; she paid and wan,
And with sad eyes, hollow from fasting,
His, CLASSY and married by the drunkard's re-
ward,
That stiIl about him are casting
With that death-eager look OF that terrible
thirst
That has borne him and torn him down from
the first. r.-...s
As they stand in their shame by the bright
kitchen fame,
With dispair in each shivering motion,
What story / read of mans madness and
greed
And Of woman's angelic devotion
OF the wonderful love of two ILL mated lives,
Which still, in its storm trampled embers,
survives.
Does her memory stretch from that poor,
bloated wretch
Far back into days that were golden,
When his love, first breathed, seemed treas
ure beQueathed,
For which she was ever beholden?
Surrounds him still with the Illusion of yore
Through which women behold the men they
adoreP
Aye; there, as they stand, she touches his
the hand of sot and scoffer-s
And CLEAN of old grace lights the sad,
shrunken face
As she turns to the food that we offer,
thrnst
To his lips ere her hunger has broken crust.
Then, their rags closer bound their chill
flames around,
They pass on the way of the vagrant;
For wretches SO mean in good homes to be
seen
Would be trans erosion most fragrant;
Bat the woman half turns, with wave of the
hand
And sad, thankful look that is simple and
grand.
And look through the panes, as the brief
day wanes
And the shadows of night are blending,
And watch Ger the snow, on the highway be-
low,
The two figures slowly vending:
woman, whose love can all wretchedness
span,
And the coarse, shattered wreck of what once
was man. N. 7. Sun.
