Yes, theater is very dry place"
said the bartender in the saloon which
quenches the thirst of the patrons of
one of ChicagO'S most fashionable thea

OF the gentlemen drop out between the
acts to see man as they call it.
What is there about a theater to
cause excessive thirst?' inquired Chi
cagO Herald reporter.
''Well, that's pretty hard to tell, but
almost everything should judge. You
see there's more or less dust in the
scenery. and it's stirred up a good deal
in shifting. The cushions have some
dust in them too, suppose, and the
carpets must have more or less that's

were to see the men when they come i'll

do they come more when the play is

well, no; not that | can see. If it
was the play they wanted to miss they
wouldn't wait for the curtain to go
down, as they do. No, don't think
the play makes much difference,
though they generally give that as an
excuse among themselves"
That is, they claim that the play
made them tired?"
''Oh, no: not that. It's the interest
they take in it that drives them to
drink. If it's funny show it makes
them feel so good that they want to

At this point in the conversation the
bartender'S attention was called away
by crowd of men, who came through
the theater entrance of the saloon. They
were of all ages and appearance, but
principally of years beyond mere youth.
Most of them made for the bar at once
with their orders, while few went
through the needless deception of in
curing if somebody wasn't there to see
them, those latter being evidently so
skilled in the work of deception that
they could not leave it OFF even when it
was not needed.
Il jes' told M'riar." said one elderly
looking gentleman. who might readily
be mistaken for church deacon, ''that
Filkins was down here to see me about
buyin' some property in Avondale, A."
and he cast suspicious look over his
shoulder to see that 'M'riar' was not
watching him, before he ordered cock
tails for two.
Il like the play well enough in the
theater,", said, as he reached for a
piece Of cheese on the lunch counter,
''but what can't stand is the time be-
tween the deterrent acts"
That's me-" laconlcally responded
his companion.
.You see, M'riar's of observin' nat

interrupted while that's on. she has to
give it all to me while the curtains

of the other.

How to Paint Chairs White.

If you have rattan or wooden chair
which you wish to make a thing of
beauty buy a pot of the white mixed
household paint and one of white en-
amel. With a small brush apply the
first coat of the paint and wait until it is
perfectly dry. The chair should dry in
a day at the longest. A second coat is
necessary before the enamel is used.
If the chair has been painted a dark
color the paint should be removed by
scraping with small piece of common
window glass. OId-fashioned splint
and fiag-bottomed wooden chairs paint
beautifully. Decorated with cushions
or lowered chintz. silk or plush they
are welcome addition to chamber or
even drawing room. go
One woman found a yeritabIe treasure
in the shape of a double spIit-bottomed
chair cast into country wood-shed and
doomed to kindlings. She rescued it,
painted it white with little gold scrolls
and bands and adorned it with pink rose
emblazoned chintZ, and she posses a
tete-a-tete chair which all the lovers of
her acquaintance covet and quarrel
over.

1t is told of Miss Rusk, daughter of
the secretary OF agriculture, that she is
OF an exceedingly practical tune, and
that few ladies, either young or old,
excel her in the art of housekeeping,
says the Chicago Herald. She takes
full charge of her fathers house, OF the
servants and the table. She also plans
the menus and superintends the mar
keting. Miss Rusk Is SO dainty and
nice about housekeeping that with her
it becomes an art. She is very fond of
reading, and does not permit her house
hold work to rob her of the pleasure
she derives from her favorlte authors:
of these she has decided preference
for Hawthornesand HowelIs. Victor
Hugo is also a favorite. and George
Eliot and Thackeray. When it comes
10 society Miss Rusk is again at her
mothers side. Because the daughter
takes up so many cares it must not be
thought for an instant that Miss Rusk
does not know her house. While she
never appears to see anything, nothing
escapes her eye, especially If it is a
fault, and, while escaping much of the
drudgery in her care, she contrives to
keep her eyes every where.

SUPERIOR TO ST. PAUL
Feasibility of Connecting the
Waters of Superior and
Mississippi.
Data Giving the Routes Which
Such a Canal Can Be
Cut.
Commissioners Have Already
Made Interesting Reports
on Their Routes.
The Mighty Business Impetus
Which the Canal Would
Give st. Paul.

The following facts relating to the
proposed canal between the Mississippi
river and Lake Superior have been
gathered from the best data attainable
In the absence of surveys. only two gem
eral lines present themselves:
O. The ST. CrOiX route.
~ The MiSsiSSippiSt. Louis route
Under date of March 9, 1873. the leg
islature of Minnesota provided for a
survey for a canal to connect the wa
tiers of Lake Superior with the waters
of st. CrOiX river
No surveying was done, but a cursOry
examination was made by the following
commissioners: W. G. Ward, OF Wa
SEGA; l.. X. Stannard, of Taylor's Falls :;
Il. Il. Davis, of Saltwater.
The following lines were examined:
First-'rhe st. CroiX river to the Ma
kagOn river; thence up the latter and
across the summit; thence down White
river to Lake Superior.
SecOnd-The st. Croix river to upper
St. CrOiX lake; thence across the sum

same to Lake Superior.

| this river the lower Nemadji is a good
river 10 Superior bay. Distance from
Taylor Falls to Superior is 200 miles.
NEississlppi-St Louis Route.
The ST. Louis river from Fond du Lac
to the head of Knife falls, a distance of
twenty-five miles, is impracticable for
navigation. The commissioners are of
the opinion that canal might be con-
structed from point above Knife falls
OH ST. Louis river to the head of Moose,
a tributary of Kettle river, or that the
st. Louis might be used as a feeder for
Il canal OH Route No. 3.
From Knife falls up the St. Louis
river is about 500 feet vide for six miles,
with good, rocky bottom. Then comes
five miles OF rapids and n rise of thirty
feet. Four miles above comes the Clio
quet falls of ten feet. and then we have
good river for distance of nineteen
miles TO the Savannah river. This latter
IS stream about twenty-five feet wide,
from which canal four miles long
would bring us TO the West Savannah
river, and thence the distance to the
Mississippi river al Sandy lake is seven
teen miles.
In addition TO the foregoing, gathered
by the Minnesota commissioners, the
following will be of interest:

With regard to the Mississlppi-St.
Louis route it appears that i'll addition
to the foregoing, gathered by the Mime
sofa commissioners in 1874, the follow
| ing may be stated:
The elevation of the Mississippi river
above the sea at St Paul is 6S2.5 feet.
AT the head OF Lake st. CroiX it is some
what less. That of Lake Superior is
COS. The divide between the drainage
of Lake Superior and that of the MisSis-
sippi river is understood to be the low
est in the great swamp between Sandy
lake and the St. Louis river. The ele-
Walton of Sandy lake is 1,211 feet above
the sea. and since there can be but little
slope in the marsh, it will be reasonable
to assume the divide to be not more than
1920 feet above the level of the sea.
From the divide down the st. Louis to
CloQuet there is considerable fall. eSpe-
cially in the st. Louis river. One
