Room for Government Business.
The increased business of the postotfice
department demands more space than can
be given in the custom house building. Sew
eral plans have been talked of by which
more room could be obtained, the one most
discussed being an addition to the present
building either on Fifth or Wabasha streets.
A bill has been introduced in congress by j.
b. Gilhllan providing for the Appropriation
of $50, 900 for the purchase of additional
ground for the addition. The property

is owned by Mrs. Sarah Hail. and it is I'M

owns for $500 a front foot. On Wabasha

didn't want to sell at any price. He under

the city hall and city buildings. The city
owns all the ground between Washington

theory that the mortgage was void because
it was made before Webster, who had
taken the land from the government had
made final payment and obtained the re-
ceipt from the land office for the same
under the homestead laws. In charging
the jury Judge Nelson expressed the opin-
ion that it was competent for the widow
and heirs to attack the mortgage on the
ground that the mortgage was made before
the husband got the final receipt from the
government. but that they could not attack
it on any other ground, the decree of fore
closure having shut her off from saying she
did not sign or acknowledge the mortgage.

Our Race In Life.

Go ahead" was only half of David
Crockett's motto-and not the most i'm
portant half. 'Be sure you are right"
precedes. The faster ship goes ahead
the greater the danger, if there is not a
good watch on the bow and strong
hand on the wheel. To run we'll is of
Importance; to start right is of prime
Importance. Let US run with patience
the race that is set before us, says the
sacred writer. A great many men lose
the prize by dropping out of the text
altogether the clause which we have put
in italics. Every man must find his
own race before he begins to run; and a
great many spend their strength in try
ing to find some one else's race, and q
great many more in making false starts
in one race after another, and so getting
nowhere. The jack of all trades is gen
orally master of none. The world is
full of square men in round holes, and
round men in square hole; and though
it is true that man can white himself
off a little to fit the place he is in, the
energy so spent cannot be spent in life's
Legitimate work. My watch does me no
service while it is in the repairer's
hands. Blessed is the boy that has a
bent; wise the parent or teacher that
can either find one in him or give one
to him. God has work for every man
that no other man can do quite as well
and he succeeds best who quickest finds
what that work Is and sets himself
to do it. Many good writer has been
spoiled to make an insolvent merchant
lot few good housekeepers to make
execrable poets; now and then an ex-
cellent mechanic to make poor preach
er. A race has been set before me; and
it is my duty to find out what that race
is, and run it, and not waste life in re-
grets that | cannot run different one,
or life's energies in unsuccessful at
tempts to do So Christian Union.

Working TailOrs in England.

No miracle is needed to prove that
the sweating business" is very much
what it was forty years ago. One of
her Majesty's inspectors of factories had
the unofficial happy thought of address
ing throng of working tailors in the
East End. He told them that their con-
dition was worse than bestial, that the
filth and squalor of their lives would
disgust savages, and that to see them
thrusting food into their mouths with
one hand, while they still struggled to
do some work with the other, was a
Their fourteen daily and nightly hours
of labor he did not omit to mention,
and urged them to take some combined
action to try to get leave to live and
work like men. Women are already
protected, and the hours of their labor
and certain sanitary conditions are legal
ly limited and legally enforced. 1t is q
mistake if any one supposes that the
men are much more free agents and
much more able to protect themselves
than the women. The law of COMPETE
ton is too strong for broken-down con-
situations, for bodies and wills enfeebled
by an atmosphere just sensibly less ter
rible than that of the Black Hole at Cal
cutta. The victims of competition and
the public cry for cheapness need SYM
pathy and counsel at the very least, and
we do not know who can have the heart
to refuse these things. Labor is so ter
ribly cheap that, if one man declines to
live on the nearly impossible conditions
of the cheap tailor, others will apply for
the morsel of bread.
A Glasgow tailor confirms, In letter
to the Northern Mail, Mr.. Lakeman's ac-
count of London sweating dens. He
says he has known the thermometer in
one of those places to reach an almost
incredible height, and, when it was
freezing out-of-doors, to fall to forty in
the tailor's loft. The tailor works by
the piece; the more ''pieces" he turns
out the better his pay. There is only
work during eight months of the year.

Philadelphia Hair Thieves.

Ever since the complaints have been
made at Police Headquarters, Phila-
delphia of the mysterious disappearance
of the braids of hair from the heads of
ladies and misses in the crowded streets
and cars of the city, every officer has
been on the alert to catch the sneaking
thief, if possible; but no clue could be
obtained. Several days ago Reserve
Officer Dawson, while on duty at Eighth
and Market streets, observed man act
ing in a suspicious manner in crowd
of shoppers, and saw him following two
schoolgirls, both of whom had luxur-
braids of sunny hair hanging down then
backs. He followed them to Arch street,
when the man saw that he was being
watched and made his way out of the
crowd.
Officer Dawson saw the same man fol
lowing a young lady who wore heavy
braid of golden hair, when he slipped
into store and exchanged his uniform
for a citizens coat and hat. He soon
caught up to. the man, who was close
behind the young lady, just as he took
hold of the coveted dresses and was
about to sever them with pair of sharp
shears which he carried in his pocket.
The fellow was arrested and taken to
the Central, where he gave the name of
John N. Henderson, his age thirty eight
years. Henderson is known by the
police as one of the numerous class who
live by their wits, and he has been
arrested on several occasions fol- dis
reputable acts, but no charges of a seri-
Gus character were ever before lodged
against him. An effort is being made to
find where he disposed of the proceeds
of his several robberies, as it is believed
that all the cherished tresses which have
been severed from the far heads during
the past month have been sold to deal

Will Know Better Next Time.

1t was eight degrees below zero and
the frost was nipping hot. A horse be-
longing to city official was hitched to q
post on the west side of the Ci4y
Hall, and although he was covered with q
buffalo robe and blanket he bumped
himself together to keep warm, and had
q look of disgust on his face.
Presently bootblack came along. Al
some time in this boys life he had
touched his tongue to lamp post on q
cold morning. Seeing the horses nose
within foot of the iron post made him
forget the cutting wind and the cold
flag stones. He was chewing away on q
big hunk of molasses candy. He re.
moved it from mouth and held it to the
horses nose. Out came the animal
tongue for a lick, and the boy then
rubbed the hunk over the top of the
post and skipped across the street into
a doorway. He was hardly in the place
when the horse slipped six inches of his
tongue out after more sweetness. 1t hit
the post and stuck there. For min
ute he thought there was some mistake,
but then came the realizing sense that
he had been played for a sucker and
caught on blunt hook He set back
and pulled, lurched forward, and
squealed, and then lifted his heels and
made splinters of everything within
reach. Pedestrians ran to stop him, but
with terrible wrench he loosened his
tongue, and set off at a gallop, Slowing
the cutter bottom up, and knocking ii
to pieces as he went down Fort street.
The boy went up the street, saying to
himself:

anybody could get me to lick molasses

All About the Sun.

The sun is about 90, 500, 900 miles
from the earth, not 80, 900, 900 as was
popularity supposed ten years ago.
Computations made at the last transit of
Venus across the SUMS disc had estab-
lished the latter figure, though not
exactly. A sun spot measuring one
second of distance is $50 miles in size.
No telescope can deal with smaller
spot. The speaker has seen spots with
the naked eye. A spot large enough to
be seen with the naked eye must measure
$50, 900 square miles. How long the sun
has given out heat, astronomers are not
yet able to tell. 1t has probably been
millions of ages. We see marks of the
suns heat in the depths of the coal
mines where lay the vegetation of ages
ago. The pores of the sun are something
wonderful in their nature. The millions
of these pores are about all of the suns
surface which can be ordinarially seen
through a telescope. The chromosphere,
whichs.is stratum of red hot hydrogen
5000 miles in thickness, can only bQ
seen during an eclipse. Then there is the
wonderful corona which varies in size at
each eclipse. One seen from Pixies Peak

An Irish Rent Raid.

From Dungarvaa in Ireland q remark
able raid for rent in the dead of night
is reported. A large number of tenants
in County Waterford refused to pay
their rents, being indignant that one of
the local landlords had charged the Ro-
man Catholic Bishop with melting them
to this course. The tenants having de-
cided to maintain possession of their
holdings, and to remove their cattle and
effects to avoid seizure, number of
writs were issued, and the Sheriff was
called upon to make raid at night on
the tenants. This was accordingly at
tempted, 100 police being sent from a
distance to assist the Sheriff; the local
force being left in ignorance, to prevent
information reaching the tenants. The
Sheriff and his men proceeded on the
expedition, which however, was total
failure, all the tenants having removed
their stock, and not single seizure was
made. During the march snow fell
thickly, and the large body of police,
silently marching over the mountains at
such an unusual hour, created the great
est surprise and excitement. In every
instance where house was visited, the
resident magistrate and Sheriff, who
drove on before the police, were informed
that their attempts to collect the rent
would prove abortive
