From q Staff Correspondent
st. Louis, June This Is Minneso-
ia day at the great fair and with the
big party Of the state editorial excur-
sion here, the governor and his staff,
the commissioners and their party, the
state was well represented. The little
Minnesota building which was for
mally dedicated, was not large
enough to accommodate the crowd.
Governor Van SAINT and his staff ar
then the Minnesota building has been
"a busy spot.
The building is a pretty little cot
tage-like structure. All the rooms
except those reserved for the house
keeper and commissioner are on the
ground floor. There is large recep-
tion-room for ladies and gentlemen,
and a pleasant lunchroom.
Alphabetically the building is very
satisfying, but Minnesotans here to-
day generally express regret that it is
SO small and unpretentious. Many of
the small states outside the Louisiana
purchase have far more impressive
buildings.
Doubtless the best possible results
have been obtained with the amount
Of money allowed for the building,
but the impression worlds fair visit
ors get. of the different states is large
~ determined by the front" each
state makes with its building, both
externally and internally. The Min
nesota building is inferior In this re-
spect to most Of the other state build
ings.
| In dedicating the Minnesota build
| ing, the usual order Of events was re-
yersed and the reception preceded the
experimenting, beginning at $3.50 this
| morning. Those in the receiving par
! ty were:
| Governor and Mrs. Van SAINT and
staff; Miss Adelaide G.. Murphy, hos
tess Of the building, members Of the
7 Minnesota commission and their Ia
dies C. F. Mcdonald, president of the
State Editorial association; Frank j
| Meyst, G. c.. Whitney and their la.
[! dies, and other officials Of the Edi-
torial association.
The members Of the governors staff
present were General M. M. Gasser

New York, June 7.-"No mother

howl, give him the proper note"
This is the recipe for domestic har-
mony which Mrs. Amelia Weed Hol-

of children you have only to teach

1t would appear that the Japanese
planned land and sea attack on Port

seeing this, sent their fleet out to give
battle. The result Is not known.
The foregoing dispatch would seem
to confirm the dispatch previously re-
ceived at Chi-fu to-day from the AS

respondent said there was. firing at
Port Arthur last night, beginning at
1880 o'clock and continuing for

The Chi-fu dispatch also confirms
the report brought there by g. Chi
nese junk which arrived during the
night. The latter reported that there

KindIiness Among Birds.

l have seen a little chipping sparrow
make a business of feeding some half
fedged robins. She watched for her
opportunity, and whenever both par
ent robins were away from the nest
she rushed in with her morsel. The
robins resented her officiousness and
hustled her out of the tree whenever
they caught her there. l have heard
of a wren that fed a brood of young
robins in a similar way and of a male
bluebird that fed some young birds
that were in a nest near its own.-John
Burroughs in Outing.

LOcusts That Bring Terror.

In South Africa locusts are not those
solitary green insects that crawl lazily
owe the apple tree trunks and enliven
the July nights with the buzz of their
Liliputian sawmills. They are big, red
dish yellow grasshoppers, with long,
strong, brown wings and two little
millstones of teeth that will masticate
anything that can be forced between
them. They are neither solitary nor
lazy. They are warriors, live and breed
in camps millions strong and campaign
In armies miles In extent. They fear
nothing except an explosive noise, and
their coming is the signal for an up
roarious rafting of pans and a frenzied
yelling among grown men and women
that would put to shame the Yankee
small boy on the Fourth of July. Poor,
simple people hat they are, their crops
are their all, and it is a matter of life
and death with them to keep off those
terrible insects.-Century.

Simple Living.

It is not the aggregation of wealth
which makes people happy, but the
contentment found in the ways of a
simple living. While luxuries increase,
often thoughtlessly encouraged, the ne
cessities of life are lost sight of. 1t
Is an important problem to solve what
to do to help home building, though it
takes no great calculation to find out
the fact that 100 families in small
homes of a thousand or two thousand
dollars each are great consumers and
producers of business and trade than
one or two families with all their serv-
ants in a 100000 mansion. Thorns,
thistles and wild carrots will disap-
pear from the fields and waste city
lots if the idle land is utilized for
garden or farm homes.-Hartford
Times.
