the ceiling there was apparently no
room for the swing to pass. At last
the oscillations diminished, and the
swing came to rest. The effect was
really an optical illusion, similar to
that experienced on seeing a railway
train gliding past the train in which
we are seated, and causing us to think
that ours is moving Mt the same speed.
The swing itself did not turn round the
bar, but the chamber turned round
the swing, and the illusion was SO
perfect that the occupants involun-
tarily clutched their seats at the turn
over to avoid being thrown out. The
furniture Of the room, including what
purported to be a kerosene lamp, but
was in reality electric, and could be
inverted without danger, was all de-
signed to keep up the illusion. which
was further helped by baby's peran,-

Sir Henry Irving.

In comforting knighthood upon Henry
Irving, Queen Victoria has performed a
graceful act which in days to come will
rebound to her credit as a ruler. The
stage has been too long neglected, and
royal recognition Of the player is a tardy
tribute, bestowed upon the English
speaking actor best entitled to receive
the accolade. "A title, however, cannot
add anything to such a man as Irving.
The title Of the Saint Paul & Duluth rail
road, by the way, is the Duluth Short
Line, and under it this company has won
popularity as the peoples route between
St Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Sn-
.perior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls, the In
terstate Park and other points. These
are reached by finely equipped and mod
ern trains, which run rapidly at con-
venient intervals between the finest ter
minals, where close connections are made
with trains running to all points 81 the
compass. Always take the Duluth Short
Line and go with the crowd. : For maps,

gather in front of them as the hour Of 9
approached. That army, which has all
ways been considered one Of the greatest
prides of the city, will this year be more
numerous than ever. Its blnksawill be
made up of more than $4,000 children,
representing about one-sixth of the
whole population Of Minneapolis. This
army has it's offices, its staff and it's gem
erals as we'll as any other enemy that
has been gathered for more serious but
hardly more honorable purposes There
is General-in-Ch Chief Jordan, who for
weeks has been busy giving orders to
his faithful subordinates and directing
intricate movements tending towards the
defeat of the great enemy, King Ignor-
ance. There is his large and brainy
staff Of principals, every one Of whom
is commanding an important detail Of
the grand army. There are also colonels
and captains and lieutenantsT eager and
we'll trained and ever ready for battle
to the number OF 700. All on Tuesday
took new hold on the fight, with pow
ers strengthened by a we'll deserved
summers rest, ind with vigor renewed
by the touch Of Mother Nature. With
such an army and such officers, nothing
but victory can come to the banners Of
the city.
