craftsmen. The appropriation is $780,
~OOO, but it is not improbable that before
the building is completed the cost will
exceed a million. The site was donated
by the city, and the amount saved in
this respect will be put into the struc-
ture itself. The appropriation there
fore means that at least $500, 900 will
be invested above the ground. Ordi-
narily fourth or more of this amount
would be expended for site. The build
ing will contain the postoffice, United
States courtrooms and offices for the
customs and internal revenue service.

being on Fifth street, the rear on Sixth,
and the side entrances on Market and
Washington streets. The rear entrance
will be used exclusively for the receipt
and dispatch of mail matter, and will
be reached by driveway extending
from Washington to Market The first
floor will be occupied by the postoffice,
the second by the customs service, in
ternal revenue, surveyor general, super
vising inspector of steam vessels and
pension agent. The third floor will be
given up to the district and circuit
courts and their officers, besides rooms
for witnesses, grand and petit juries,
judges, marshal and deputies, district
attorney and clerk of court. The fourth
floor will be divided into file rooms,
dor1nitories for the railway mail service,
etc. The building is to be in the form
of hollow square, although the first
floor will be rooted over entirely with
glass. There will be tower at the
main entrance on Fifth street, which
will rise 1872 feet above the sidewalk.
All of the latest conveniences will be
used, and the building will be an orna-
ment to Minnesota's capital.

The Growth of Cities.

An English paper, in speaking of the
rapid growth of American towns, says
that England can show some remark
able examples of that kind, too, the most
notable being the town of Crewe, which
has grown from hamlet of fifty-one
souls in 1881 to place of $4,000 popula-
ton in 1892. In the United States there
is scarcely city which has advanced at
all which cannot boast of greater
growth than 10000 in sixty years. Be-
sides, there are now scores Of places
which were not in existence until Crewe
was quarter of century old and yet
surpass it in population.

A Steamboat Inventor.

James Rumsey was one Of the inventors
of the steamboat. When denied his rights,
as he believed, in his native country he
went abroad and obtained patents in
England, France and Holland. In 1893
he demonstrated to the satisfaction Of
the English that boat could be pro-
PEELED in q shallow river against rapid
current by the force of the same cur
rent, the power being reversed, SO TO
speak, by means of settling poles
against the bottom. The money was
put up for series of experiments on the
Thames, when he died suddenly in the
midst of his preparations. He was born
in Maryland in 1743.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The pretty woman who refuses TO
take proper care of herself in her desire
TO be natural, is the first TO clutch most
eagerly at every means of concealment
and fraudulent repair when too late!
She it is who wears the wells, visible
powder, pencilings and scarlet paint on
the street in broad daylight. She brings
reproach upon the whole cause of
"Beauty-Care.r Men learn to detest,
women to fear and critics to ridicule it.
Moreover, constantly using these things
is no less harmful to the skin than to its

but yield to one plea-"For beauty's
sake"
A celebrated beauty who is noted for
the way in which she keeps time at bay
tells of the influence had upon her life
by a teacher in a country school house
who counseled cleanliness as a means of
beauty.
"She might have preached cleanliness
in the abstract or for health till she was
gray, and it would have had no effect on
me-" she says; but when she dwelt
upon the beauty of polished hair, white
teeth, clean skin, my heart beat a tattoo

She does not artiicialize, she develops
her beauty. She is reasonable. sensible
and persistent in her effort, and an earn

Men do not complain of this sort of

lessons was Japan, with her exquisite
ceramic display. Mrs. Storer, seeing
this, was struck with the possibilities in
artistic development of American clays.
In order to carry out her idea she es-
tablished the lockwood pottery in 1880,
and carried it forward as her personal
venture. Much difficulty was expert
enced in introducing the ware at first.
Its beauty needed an artistic eye to per-
ceive it, and the artistic eye of America
was long in opening Mrs. Storer in
sisted that the work should retain its in
dividuaEty rather than descend to imi-
tation of accepted standards Of ceramic
excellence for the sake of commercial
profit. She was therefore obliged to
wait for recognition of the lockwood
ware for a time.
Personally Mrs. Storer is most unas-
Stunning Her numerous charitable and
artistic enterprises. though pursued
with great energy, are unmingled with
ostentation, and comparatively few Gin
cinnatians are familiar with her face.
During Henry Ward Beecher's last visit
to Cincinnati he was shown through the
lockwood establishment, and made Il
prolonged stay in the various rooms,
lingering in each to admire the exquisite
objects displayed. he was chagrined to
learn after his departure that a quiet little
woman, who had Joined the party upon
entering and remained with them
throughout the visit as guide and at
tendant, wal Mrs. Storer herself.
Though particularly enthusiastic in
ceramics, Mrs. Storer is a diligent stu
dent in other branches Of art. She has
occasionally exhibited studies in oils
and other mediums, which show a
strength and command of technique
unusual in a n amateur, and as individ-
ual in effect as her favorite lockwood
jugs. The Duveneck life class connect
ed with the art school owes its estab-
lishment largely to her efforts. as does
also the fund for the European scholar
ship, offered as an incentive to members
of this class.

Storer finds time to take an active inter

Concerning sorosis.

Twenty-four years ago the women's
club called Sorosis was founded in New
York city. Its objects were social recrea-
ton and mutual Improvement. Incl
dentally in he course of its existence it
has done considerable philanthropic
work and at its meetings has discussed
educational, economic and scientific
topics. 1t has no fad or hobby of any
kind. Woman suffrage and theological
topics are expressly forbidden to be dis
cussed at its meetings. AS a society it
has no r~eformatory views TO urge, not a
view. 1t is simply what 1 have said, a
woman's club for social recreation and
mutual improvement. This ought to be
sufficiently understood by this time.
That blessed woman, Jenny June, its
founder, has explained on an average
100 times u year eve since 1t began
just what kind of a club Sorosis is. But
now, after twenty. four years, comes a
writer in st. Louis Globe-D Democrat and
says: THE society called Sorosis ex-
lists, as is generally understood, for
the purpose of solving problems that
touch the relations of the sexes"
Hear, hearl AT a recent meeting of
the club the committee for the day
brought up the question of how best to
establish unity of feeling between hus-
band and wife. From the utterances
made | quote as follows: Mrs. Yardley
says, THE arts which enslaved the lover
are never wasted on the husband" Eliz-
abeth w. Champney said this, Love
and tact are the best lubricants for the
domestic wheels" Other expressions
were to the same effect. But the writer
in the CD, after exploiting the power
of love and giving 1t as a means of
making things go smooth in the family,
sapiently remarks: 1.-The strongminded
women Of the Sorosis type are unable to
rate this form of virtue at its full worth.
They have nc faith in love and no re-
gard for the wife who smiles and holds
her tongue" Dear, dearl | don't see
how any mortal can lie like that. Worst
of all. the CD. writer proceeds to
make out the average husband a more
contemplate brute than | am sure any
Sorosian alive or dead ever dreamed Of
his being. Sorry indeed | should be to
think that the men, whose force, intel
lect and big h~eartedness | 30 admire,
were the foolish creatures this anti
woman's rights person sizes them up
to be. ELIZA ARoHARD CONNER.
