THE SITE OF THE UNIVERSITY

It would be difficult to think of a place
more adapted in the way of point at which
10 locate than Toledo. The young man wish
ing to start out in the world, wishes to be
brought in contact with business and life in
in its different branches, and have it shown
its different lights; and he also wants to see
how important transactions in business and
commerce are carried on under his own eve.
and from where he can make personal obser-
vations-he can have no better opportunity TO
observe their operations anywhere than at
Toledo, and while pursuing his course at the
University there, he has a chance to observe
the everyday methods and practical workings
of steamboating. railroading, and the course
taken in the various kinds of business carried
on in a live, active city. In this way, the ef
forts of President Jordan are the more effect
i've. When seconded and aided by the best
business men Of the most goahead and enter
prisihg city in the West, we see in a moment
one reason of his remarkable success.

While waiting here our We was attracted bv
the numerous works of art that adorn the

elephant, to the picture of the little hummiu9

this with nothing but a stel pen. There have
been many paintings that have great notoriety
of which we doubt if they have had as much
skill and real talent expended on them as this
little gem of the Presidents. While examin-
ing these beautiful productions, our attention

THE UNIVERSITY AT ITS WORK.
Going into the room to the left of the Pres

carried ou in all its different forms.
both theoretical and practical; but before we
enter into details, let us see the difference be-
tween this system and the one of Bryant q
Stratton, is, TINT it throws the student on his
own resources, and gives him more mental
discipline. We also noticed the First and
Second National College Banks, both in full
operation, using their own bank bills, and car
rying on the business of a bank In theory and
practice.
We are pleased to inform the public that
the College, under the superintendent of
Prof. Jordan, IS continually growing in pros
perity, numbers. and public confidence, and
now has for its patrons many of the best citi-
zens Of Toledo. We noticed about one hun
dred students, all of whom were buslly en-
gagged buying and selling, and transacting
business, the same as they would in actual
business life, and all appeared to be making
rapid progress true sign that the Universi-
ty is well patronized where it is best known
at home.

THE sagacious(?) Bellaire reporter to

featured, and we don't think strange OF

entitle him to think anything he pleases'

A DISTINGUISHED medical authority
warns the drinkers of water of wells near
dwellings to beware of the typhoid poison
sure to be found sooner or later in these
reservoirs, if any of the house drainage
can percolatc to them. The gclatinous
matter often found upon the stones Of a
well is poison to the human system, prob
ably causing by its spores II fermentation
of the blood, with abnormal heat of fever.
Wholesome, untainted water is always
free from all color and odor. To test it
thoroughly, place few grains of lump
sugar, and expose it, stoppered to sun
light in a window. If, even after an cX-
posurc of eight or ten days, the water
becomes turbid, be sure that it has been
contaminated by sewerage of some kind.
If it remains perfectly clear, it is pure
and safe.
