Dairymafds at the Museum,

There is convention of alleged dairy
maids at the dime museum this week.
They wear charming costumes, which
set off their pretty faces to excellent
advantage, and they have old-fashioned
perpendicular churns before them,
which they occasionally work in nerv-
GUS sort of way. But the churns seem
strangely unfamiliar to them. There is
sort of mistruSt shown which indicates
that they would not recognize churn
in the street if it should come uD and
shake hands with them. And as for
making butter, it is plain that
they would not distinguish
part of pure extract of cow
from a similar piece of oleomargarine.
But the dairy maids'' look pretty, and
they show how they might churn but
ter if they had to do it for living; and
they sing catchy little song, and GER
tainly that is all that could be expected
OF them. In addition to these country
maids" there are other strong attrac-
tions at the dime museum this week.

most beautiful sand pictures. and
shows how the work is done. The De

The Chamber of Commerce Has
Some Sport Adopting Resolu-
tions.
The chamber Of commerce held one of
its typical sessions yesterday, having
lots of fun passing resolutions. A reply
was made to the Duluth chamber in an
swer to letter opposing the bridging
of the Detroit river. Then the chamber
discussed seed wheat. and Mr.. Stevens
had some quiet fun all to himself about
the Parable of the Sower.n, The bal
ance of the members did not appear to
catch on to the joke. The report of the
committee on frosted wheat was
adopted. Messrs. W. H. Bushnell. W.
s. Morton and j. FL. Davidson submitted
a report recommending that no celebra-
tlOn OF the establishment of the consti-
tuition be held, but that the public
schools have special exercises. This
was adopted. The matter of meat in
spectlon was next tackled and referred
to the committee on health and SANTA
ton. A resolution offered by Mr. Hodg-
son was adopted to the effect that in the
opinion of the chamber the alien land
laws should be repealed. A resolution
recommending the widening of Eighth
street twenty feet, and Minnesota tWen-
ty feet, from Fourth to Tenth street.
was referred to the committee on streets.
The Ramsey county delegation was re-
quested to support the bill prohibiting
pool rooms. The chamber then dis
cussed the municipal court bill, and re-
ferred to the committee on city and
county officials resolution in opposition
to the bill.

CASUAL CONVERSATIONS.

At the meeting of the committees of
the council and county commissioners
several funny remarks were dropped.
Talking about the number of janitors
that would be needed, Commissioner
Boland said: I'VE shall need good
many. Look at those white marble
floors; they will need cleaning every
three or four days"
The experience of most people with
white marble floors shows that they
need to be cleaned every three or four
hours. In court house, where hoboes
will spit tobacco juice on the floor. If
they are to be kept in decent order, they
will need to be cleaned at least every
day. The floor of the Merchants be-
comes so filthy by night that no one
would know what color it was. 1t
''bobs up serenely" with cleanly
washed face every morning.
Somebody suggested, "Why, it only
takes one man to janit this building"
the city halD. "Yes," said Aid. Cul-
len; land look at the windows; you can't
look through them.n
~
What marked difference there is be-
tween the crowd that freQuents Third
street and that which trOts on Seventh
street. Probably there are residents on
the hill who don't know what Seventh
street looks like. and there are also
many who know no more about Third
street than they do about State street,
Chicago.
-
Some of the cabbies opposite the Ryan
have piles OF fun with the teamsterS
who pass that way. One of their prin-
clpal amusementS is to stand in the way
of team until they are within hairs
breadth of being run over. This is the
tween the Ryan and the Bodega, which
is perfectly miasmatic with sulphurous
profanity.
Now that the sidewalks are in clean
condition, the small boy who delivers.
or does not deliver your paper, as the
case maybe, doth spend the majority of
his time playing the intensely exciting
game of marbles.
Who is the gentleman who dresses in
the clerical garb and walks the streets
without shoes, socks or hat?
"a
This is a reminder of funny typo
graphical error. In French mfssal
there occurs the words "Ici lie pretre
demontre sa calotte;'' translated, ''Here
the priest takes off his hat" The fes-
tive typo set 1t up '.Ici lie pretre de-
montre ses culottes;" translated, Here
the priest takes off his trouSers.'
-
The way certain young woman sings
the Marsei!laise at concert hall in
this city calls up recollections of the
memorable day when Marie Roze sang
the song in the Grand Opera house in
Paris. 1t caused such wild excitement
as only Frenchmen are capable of. and
a group of distinguished army officers
IN proscenium box tore the decora-
tions, medals and stars from their
breasts and threw them at the feet of
the lovely prima donna.
