by the chorus. The orchestra and a trio
consisting of Miss Butler, Messrs. Barnes
and McWade, and Mile. Mantey charmed
the audience by the richness and power of
her violin playing, and Mr.. Sternberg's

Paris OYSTERS.

It always made me mad to see
a Frenchman sit down to plate Of raw
French oysters-for when he did so he
did it with an air which seemed to de-
clare that of all countries none save
France cCuld raise an oyster, and none
save Frenchmen knew how to eat an
oyster. Yet the poor creatures, in all
their self-conceit, sat thus before a plate
of thin, coppery bivalves with naught of
condiment before them, save salt, pep
per and vinegar. And I was obliged
to gaze on all this ignorant pomposity,
as to the oyster, with visions before my
eyes of the palatial oyster saloons in
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, where human culinary skill
has reached its highest flight in dealing
with - oyster and the "roast," ''pan
roast, fried" "fried in crumbs, I"
" fried in batter" "plain stew" ':box
stew, p" Boston stew" and "broil." all
attest to the range and scope of Ameri-
can ingenuity in dealing with the king of
bivalves. And to regard these conceited
Frenchmcn looking as if they had
reached the acme of human perfection

ignorant of Americas triumph in oyster

Northwestern was purchased in large

Space in the Universe,

The nearest OF the fixed stars is
twenty trillions (20,000,0O0,000,000) of
miles distant from us. The next in dis
lance is four times farther removed. IF
We attempt to fix an average distance
for the surrounding group of fixed stars
nearest our system, we could not safely
give it radius of less than four hun
dred trillions of miles. Yet what does
this involve? Light, which. reaches US
from the sun in eight and half min
utes, would take seventy years in its
journey across this vast domain of
space. If the volume of space included
within our solar system were occupied
with one huge sphere of 100000, 600
miles diameter. even such mighty mass
would be but as floating feather in the
marvellous spread of empty space sur

twenty-seven hundred trillions of such

Don't Use Bic Words.

In promulgating your esoteric cogita-
tons, or articulating superficial senti-
mentalities and philosophical or psyche
logical observations, beware of platitudi-
nous ponderosity. Let your conversation
possess clarified conciseness, compacted
comprehensibleness, coalescent consist
ency and a concatenated cogency. Els
chew all conglomerations of fatulent
garrulity, iejune babblement and asinine
Alterations. Let your extemporaneous
descantings and unprecedented expa-
tiations have intellgibility and veracious
vivacity, without rhodomontade or thra-
sonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all
polysyllabic profundity, pompous pro-
lixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial
verbosity and vaniloquent vapidity.
Shun double entendres, prurient jocosity
and pestiferous profanity, obscurant or
apparent. In other words, talk plainly,
naturally, sensibly, truthfully, purely.
And don't use big words.

HOw COIOrS Harmonic With Traits OF
Character.

Purity and guilelessness can best be
REPRESENTED by white, and its stainless
snowy atmosphere always gives q sense
# coolness also to the eye of the be-
holder. Blue, again, is q color Of limo
cerce, and is apt to give an individual
an air of delicacy and refinement, while
the palesgreens are scarcely inferior in
Tie same effect; but the rose-color is
one Of the Eues of coquetry, is an ex
;'ansivc blooming color, and renders
one. We know not how or why, much
'lsier of approach than any Of the
s)lder colors do. Then there are few
Iolors which wrap such an impression
u dignity and majesty about one as
purple does, especially the purple that
inciines to violet, whether because of
Its royal and churchy association or of
ANYTHING inherent, as the way in which
1t retireS into shadow rather than OBJ
Irutiesa even while maintaining its in
tegrity in still self-assertion. One who
wears red, on the other hand, may wish
to express haughtiness or pride, anger
or a species of defiance, but certainly
nothing of shrinking modesty or of cold
repose. And yellow, to conclude, may
express sunny serenity and generosity
of nature carried even to its highest
power. It is true that yellow, under
certain circumstances, confesses iniuri-
Gus luxury of character, and express
exactly the opposite attributes to those
which render white and blue appropri-
ate. Perhaps some of US remember a
striking picture that was shown in the
centennial exhibition, some years ago,
where, through the opening door OF a
convent, with its black and white robed
nuns, and out of the wild storm, beau
tiful woman implores shelter; she is
clad in brilliant yellow, and one feels
the strength of the picture in the con-
trast between innocence and guilt, the

The Republicans Make ToIerably Clean
Sweep-The Park Improvement Voted.
Yesterday was probably one of the quiet
est elections ever held in Minneapolis and
the result on the whole IS scored victory
for the Republicans. The Waterloo was
in the First ward, where John L. Lee, the
regular Democratic nominee for alderman,
was defeated by Comstock, Republican.
Mr.. Lee was practically slaughtered in the
house Of his friends. Up to yesterday
Democrats who control large followings
were supposed to be laboring for his cleo
tion when in reality they were setting a
trap for his downfall, and last night were
rejoicing in their success. There
was no more deserving candidate
on the entire city ticket than Mr.. Lee and
it certainly is greatly to the loss of the
First ward that he is defeated.
For judge of the municipal court Mr..
Bailey. the Republican candidate, was
elected, while Stephen Mahoney, Demo
crat, carried away the special judge
ship.
IL. Buxton, the time honored city treas
urer. was re elected with his usual big ma
jority. Buck never gets left.
Only three Democratic aldermen were
favored with majOrities: Hashow in the
Third, Walsh in the Sixth and Nuremberg
in the Seventh, although Ed. Clement
polled well in the Fourth and only lacked
few votes.
The Prohibitionists elected one alder
man. Albert Lawrence in the Eighth ward,
but otherwise polled an Insignificant vote.
The park system went through kiting and
Bill King was probably the happiest man
the city contained at midnight, but it is
reported he went home sober before day
break. He called On Nettleton, of the I'fj-
6ufe, at IL o'clock and invited him down
to take drink with him, but the general
declined. There were too many specta-
tors.
