with sellers of these useful animals. DAYS

and a pretty girl baby. Shortly after their
arrival here a fine-looking young man
arrived and passed several weeks

Mr.. J. J. Egan, the accomplished archi-
tect of the splendid hotel Ryan," has
probably made it the safest in the country
and one of the reasons for such particular
attention to that feature is sad one. In
the terrible fire in Milwaukee, destroying
the Newhall house, MI. Egan lost very
near and dear friend, and from that time
he has devoted himself faithfully to the
study of absolute safety from fire, probably
coming nearer to perfection than any other
American architect.

An eminent physician of the East, who
has been visiting in st. Paul, is truly en-
thusiastic i'm his admiration of the infant
population of the city. He asserts that he
never saw before so many fat, handsome,
healthy babies and claims that they speak
more emphatically in praise Of the splendid
climate than all the books ever written.
~
Speaking of climate recalls to mind the
strong language used by an adjective
singer who had passed a season in the
bright Northwest. Iappend his vocabulary
of hvphenated adjectives for the benefit of
graduated high school scholars. He says:
II found an anti-malarial non-venOmouS,
highly-medicated, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ozone-impregnated. piney-perfumed, damp
devoid, health-reviving. rest-inviting. APP
petite constructing, misunderstanding. de-
votion developing, vice-destroying, virtue
Strengthening, bran-expanding, sense
sharpening, idea-evolying, fashion-forget-
ting. lake enbellished, stream-meandered
fish-abiding, game-inhabited, sun-kissed,
Observation-Disclosures, fragrant, cool and

panied, and your soul will meier be sick"

A pretty custom in Boston in connection
with children's Sunday is the presentation
of a growing flower plant in pot to each
child. Thus each little one has constantly
reminder of the day, and the lesson con-
neeted with the festival is daily recalled as
they tenderly care for the handsome en-
blem.

1t is with pleasure that we introduce to-
day new contributor to old Eat Homes"
column. We refer to our Fort Keogh cor
respondent, a bright accomplished lady,
who sends some very interesting items from
that sociable and cultured community.

There is project suggested which will
prove very attractive if carried out. 1t will
be remembered that the amateur minstrel
entertainment, given by the st. Paul Ideals
some time since, was great success, and
now it is proposed to arrange another on
much grander scale. The idea is to interest
at least siXty-five young gentlemen in the
affair. having thirty-two in the chorus, and
large orchestra, the former in full even
ing dress and the latter in full uniform,
both with white faces, while the four end
men will appear with blackened counte-
nances and funny costumes. A splendid
entertainment can be produced, and some
charity greatly benefited.

Another installment of sweet girl gradu-
ateS has passed through the mental-fniSh
ing factory of the high school, and are
now ready to undertake series of gas
tronomic lessons in the way of preparing,
instead of consuming, food They will
learn which is sweet and which is sour in
the cream of tartar and saleratus depart
ment; whether baking powder is explosive,
anu the chemical strength OF salt and on
IONS Then when, with this added ac
complishment, they undertake the manage
ment of some nice young mans household,
their old friend At Home will be glad to
follow the parson and give them good
send-off, as he has done for so many of their
colleagues
