where the crowd is. There is 30 crowd.

| Standing on the promenade on the roof

bend the $50 degrees of the circle and
| fancy that there can ever be another
such scene, another such a section
| carved from the pearly sides of heaven
| and planted before the startled vision
| of mankind.
At night, when Lake Michigan re-

gold and amber against the white and

when the armament above is deep and

layishly pinned with stars; when all IS

| lagoons in white and green: with a
thousand electric lights swinging
amongst the trees. along the intramural
road, away out on the lake piers-all
blending in the more irregular lights
of the districts without the
park: to hear yelling up from

the ear in line for just gust of the
"Star Spangled Banner" as il climbs
the echoing flights from the main plaza
to hear the rabble of the street in Cairo,

intermittant waves OF cool lake breeze

is indeed sense to inspire which one
might we'll lend himself to any condi-
ton OF cost and effort
To get the true magnilicence OF this
wondrously gorgeous spectacle, In all
! its awful solemnity, one should attend
the promenade in the Manufactures
building on Tuesday, Thursday OF Sat
urday of each week. On these nights
the pyrotechnical displays and illumi-
nation are beyond Illusion. Your en-
trance fee is 50 cents. If you are ad-
mtted at the Fifty-seventh street en-

The Minnesota Building.
very comfortable structure, built after
the style of the Italian Renaissance.
This structure is very happily situated
first and foremost on a beautiful plat OF
ground, backed by cool and fragrant
grove. 1t is credit to our people, and
what is more interesting to the fatigued
pilgrim, it is unusually repoSeful in its
apartments and we'll appointed with all
that is essential to refreshing the body
and mind of those who seek its retreats.
The ladies In attendance are exceed

of Minnesota attendance is kept for the
signatures of visitors. By scanning the
register pages and observing the arri-
val and departure of visitors here
noted, one is enabled TO meet and greet
his own state fellow men and women.
| There are thirtyfour general build
ings in Jackson park. Each state has
it's own building. The state buildings
are a very interesting group, and all are
built upon plat OF ground in the north
end of the park. There are 400 struc-
lures in the grounds. This number en-
braces every form of structure, from the
1 ESquimauX hut to The manufactures
and liberal arts building, which is 7S7x
| LOST feet, covering over thirty acres of
| ground, and being the largest individual
structure in all the world.
Food of All Nations.
There are many restaurants. In one
| you will be served strictly in the man
ner which prevails with the Scandina-
Wan; in another the Pole serves you in
his brusque and very aggravatlng way;
in another the Frenchman and plquant
French woman induce one to indulge
vi ct arms; the Jap, too, offers tea of
Oriental brewing, and rice and crystal
| liZed confectiOns for what, to him, the
Jap, seems very reasonable price.
In the Swedish restaurant all order OF
dining is enacted which is unique and
expeditions. AS you approach the en-
trance you are accosted by a buxom
i Swedish maiden, attired in the costume
of her native country.
'Skoll we haben luns hyar fer fefty
cent, or will We haben deanor oop stair
fer Elm dohler?"
After being thus inquired of, she
braces herself before you until you de-
eide what your fate shall be. If you
conclude to have lunch, she eXacts sc
cents then and there with suspicion
aforethought, and finally. you are
pushed into the crowded dining room.
Now, let me advise you when you get
in there: Don't sit down at one of the
numerous small tables and await fol
the service Of the rushing attendants.
Harden your visage, grab plate from
the long table in the center of the
room, get dark lantern and guide
and hunt fork; then swipe your melt
ing brow and find d knife, then scan
the long table and proceed TO peck a
little plate is loaded to the proportion
of your appetite, HE yourself to small
table and partake. This is the pre-
scrlbed method, and the only one which
serves you on that occasion. Every
guest purloins from the great long
table what he means to dev0ur Oh the
side. Coffee or Swedish beer can be
had for an extra price. When the inner
man has been RECALLED and you get out
into the cool air again, ii you will take
an inventory of what you have just dis
posed of, you will itemiZe fried wiener
wurst of economical size, cheese, pedi
gree unknown. Scandinavian klas
gravy supplied by your own fancy,
eggs scrambled in fish and lobster

wheat; sardines, ham, more bread

cheese. back again to bread and around
by the scrambled eggs, bottle of beer
OF coffee. S1.15 up to the counter and
exit.
Esthetic Feasting.
You are now primed for the art build
ing, which is near by. The student OF
art and nature, in fact, the student OF
life, can find enough here to interest
him for month. The woman's build
ing is blazing pile to the everlasting
glory of our sisters and mothers. If any
man thinks that all creation-materia
and spiritual, practical or esthetical-is
of the masculine gender, he will hear
his vanity fall with one of those patented
sdull. sickening thuds." 1t is not com
patible with the space at hand to sug
gest the interest of all or any of the
general buildings. Most of the struct
ures are finished. All of the exhibits
will be in readiness by June 10.
The question is generally asked
elbow long will it take to see it alp
That depends very much upon who il
seeing and what the attending circum
stances are. In five days visited every
building in the grounds. l studied some
things fairly well, but many were passed
with just general view. All exhibit:
are worthy of attention. Let the artistic
