A GREAT CITY.

London is already a very large city. Four
 millions of people live and move within it's
 limits. But what will London be one hun
 dred years from nowl Thss Spectator at- 1 tempts to answer this question, and does SO in an impressive way.
 | There are added to London now about 75O,- 900 people every ten years If this continues it will have in 1888 population of 10, 0,00O,- 900. "This seems somehow to everybody to be absurd" says the Spectator, "but mo- body will tell us precisely why it is absurd, or what is to be the ultimate checking force." There is room enough for London to grow. Says the Spectator on this point: We talk of want of room, but London is not built up to half the height in the air of Paris or New
 York or old Edinburgh, and has quantities of building-space all around it. The north ern suburbs can be spread out five miles in direct line before they are out of omnibus reach; the west can expand for nearly as
 many miles, and eastward miles of cheap land invite the builder. Even in the south the density might be tripled, and then not
 exceed the density of Mir. W. H. Smiths most conservative of boroughs, which is not so crammed as to be a scandal. Eight mil lions or more could certainly be housed be- fore anyone perceived that distances had be- come impracticable, and the contriyances for overcoming them are multiplying fast. The
 Metropolitan and Metropolitan District rail
 ways have not half enough feeders yet, and electric trans and omnibuses already promise to relieve us of the difficulty of providing horses and storage forage for them. The special habit of London, too, which is not go much to add street to street as city to city, diminishes the difficulty of distance, each city or quartisr remaining for many of the purposes of life--for indispensable shopping, for instance, and the distribution ot food self-contained entity, with everything ab- solutely essential to life procurable within it's own circuit. The difficulty of room does not exist, and that of distance will, as it has done hitherto, gradually disappear.
 Because London has always been able to get enough to eat and drink the Spectator sees no reason why it cannot continue to.
 Eleven millions can be fed if four millions can. t'The increase only requires mere rail way trucks, more carts, more steamers and more hands-all of which are forthcoming in profusion. Nothing in time of peace adjusts itself like the food supply of great city, and there is not, that we can remember, in
 modern history g clearly proved instance of 8 l dangerous falling short.n
 This is interesting and plausible. People
 like to live in cities, and the great cities of
 the world are fast growing greater. What l will New York be when London has ii ,000, 1 GOO inhabitants!

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while ying down. to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain ache; to know that no sonous, putrid matter dees the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not through its veins and arteries, suck up the poIson that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed blessing beyond all other human enjoyments To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many reme- dies and physicians despair of relief cure.
 sanford's Radical Cure meets every phase of Catarrh, from simpe head cold to the most loath- some and destructive stages It is local and const tutional Instant in relieving permanent in curing, safe, economical and never failing.
 Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box of Catarrhal Solvent, and one Improved Inhaler, with treatise and direc- tions, and is sold by all druggists for $1.

That part of the Massachusetts civil service law which relates to laborers in the public employ at Boston has certainly worked well. Under this system register of 1aborers is kept, on which any man may be enrolled on producing evidence of sobriety, good health and citizenship. There is no examination beyond that cessary to verify the appli cant's statements in these regards. When laborers are required in any department of the city government names are certified by the commission from the register, preference being given in the order of registration un- less there are some special qualifications needed, and in that case those are certified whose papers show the possession of such qualifications. This practically prevents po- litical or personal favoritism. The commis- sioners repor.. that ''last year 9s3 men regis tered for day labor in Boston. This year 1,601 were registered. Last year 693 men were certified, while this year 1898 were cer- tifed" It will thus be seen that nearly four-ffths of those registered were certified. Out of 2, ,991 qualifications made for the year ending November 30, 1887, 1,615 men were employed, while 134 failed to report for work or declined it. Less than one in 8 hundred of those thus employed were discharged for bad conduct or habits.

 The shipment of apples from this country to Europe has grown to large proportions. The figures for 1887 show that nearly AS, 900 barrels were thus shipped. These figures fall little over 168,000 barrels below the total export of the previous year owing to the s'off year. shortage in the West. Of the total export 246, 900 barrels were consigned to Liverpool, 120, ,000 to Glasgow, 5000 to London and 18,000 to other European ports. Only the best keeping varieties are used for the export trade.
