Thn Good Times Retnrnirr.

Evidences that the good times are return
ing. and that money is to be more plenti-
full and business is TO be brisk once more
are seen on all sides. One indication of this
returning prosperity is to be seen in the
large increase OF attendance at our leading
educational institutions. From all sides
comes tho news that they viii shortly have
no more vacancies. In st. Paul, among
other prominent colleges and academies
We may mention the case OF st. Joseph g
Academy which has accommodations for
over two hundred boarders and several
hundred day scholars, but which already
reports very large attendance. Parents
have selected st. Joseph's as the place OF
education because OF its healthy location,
large and commodious buildings, the COM
forts and home life accorded the pupils
and the unexcelled course OF studies, which
comprises every study that the most nc.
eomplished lady could desire to acquire.
The building faces several hundred feet on
Nelson ave, mt the corner of Western ave.
The building is of stone, with basement
and three stories in height. The rooms
are very large and airy, special attention
having been given to the question OF ven
tilation. The heating throughout is by
steam and the lighting by gas. There are
bathrooms, recreation rooms, class rooms
and dormitories. in which last mentioned
rooms each bed is surrounded by a neat
curtain so arranged as to make a little pri-
vate dressing room for each pupil. The
scholars have the benefit OF fine library,
a museum and other requisites OF first.

branches, painting drawing, fancy and
plain sewing are taught, and visitors to the
Minneapolis Exposition know what I'M
rvalled work in this direction the school
turns out. The essential studies, the sci.
ences, languages, history, mathematics,
ETC., are, however, the principal care OF the
sisters who understand how important q
thorough course OF study is for their young
charges. Ordinary class instruction is
aided and assisted by courses of lectures
on scientific, literary or artistic subjects
by prominent persons, and the tedious
routine OF sehoolliiei3 made at once diver
sified and agreeable so that the pupil learns
almost impreceptably. The success OF
this method has been SO great that the
hundreds of pupils who have graduated at
st. Joseph's, many OF whom are well known
and prominent ladies to-day, are uuani-
nous in recommending the Academy as
one OF the best schools in the country, so
that every year the number OF pupils be-
comes larger and larger until from small
house and humble beginning it has grown
to be one OF the great educational female
institutions of the country. The cost OF
tuition at st. Joseph's is very moderate,
less than at any equally prominent ca stern
academy, and it is really wonderful how
the school can afford to offer such COM

ton in this unrivaled institution should
write at once to the Mother Superior, st.
Joseph's Academy, st. Paul, for pros
pectus and the necessary information.
They certainly will never have reason to
regret having selected such an excellent
place OF instruction for their children.
