Iuc OIQ BulIUIuS.
About July 1 the printing office force will
be moved into this new building. The in
teresting question that will then arise will
relate to the action of Congress In rela-
ton to the old building. Many senators.
and representatives will favor an addi-
ional appropriation for replacing the old
building with a new one that will be uni
form with the structure now completed.
Whether or not this will be done will de-
pend largely upon the spirit Of liberality
or economy that will prevail at the Capitol.
It is believed that all the ground now oc-
cupied by the old building could be advan-
tageously used for new one that would
be fireproof and a safe place in which to
store valuable material and documents.

HIS LAST PRACTICAL JOKE.

per the story of the way in which Il
lawyer came to abandon practical Jok-
ing. The senior lawyer of the bar in

tleman OF the old school, of whom his
juniors were fond. This old lawyer
was very near-sighted, but had n hab-
it. when addressing jury, of taking

One day when he was thus speak

the table. his back was turned to the
other members of the bar. The lawyer
to whom alluslon has been made no

paper. and saw in this chance TO
play joke on the older man.
With IA penknlfe he cut out pieces
of the tissue paper just large enough
TO cover the lenses of the spectacles,
and with a little mucilage fastened
them to tho glasses The paper was
scarcely noticeable but 1t was enough
to prevent vision through the glasses.
Presently the old lawyer had occa-
sion to read some paper in the course
of his address. He came back to the
table. put on the glasses, and attempt
ed to read. He strained his eyes. re-
adjusted the glasses. and tried again.
Then deadly pallor overspread his
face. which was not in the least anus
