The barrels of the little toy-guns are

kitchen utensils are manufactured from
the sweepings of tin-shops, from worn

made from the scraps left from making
portmonaies and pocket-books. The

Neuralgia.

A physician of London hospital
writes to the British Medical Journal :
"There is no recognized reason why OF
late years neuralgia of the face and
scalp should have increased so much in
the female sex, as compared with cur
own. There is no doubt that it is one of
the most common of female maladies-
one OF the most painful and difficult of
treatment. 1t is also q cause of much
mental depression, and leads more often
to habits of intemperance than any other.
This growing prevalence of neuralgia
may to some extent be referred to the
effects of cold upon the terminal
branches of the nerves distributed to the
skin and the reason why men are less
subject to it than women may to great
extent be explained by the much greater
protection afforded by the mode in which
the former cover their heads when they
are in the open air. 1t may be observed
that. the surface of the head which Is

4 Chinese Mathematician.

Wong Chingfoo, tho highly educated
Chinaman, rather "got away" with n
young professor at Greencastle on Fri
day evening. During the course of the
evening, Mr.. Wong stated that among
the Chinese mathematician were hired
at 81 per week, and were not as good as
the most ordinary men here. They do
this work by machinery, as it were, and
it is the dirty labor of the Empire.
When Mr.. Wong first came to this coun-
try to enter college, he was told that it
would benecessary to study mathematics
two years; he ut once told them that he
knew mathematics better than those who
were to teach him in this particular
branch. Illustrative of this, Wong, in
his address at Browns Hall, offered to
foot up several columns of figures. For
convenience his manager, Mr.. Hawkins,
was to name the figures, but the Young
Professor of Mathematics of Ashbury,
who was present, thought he saw flaw
there, and at once came to his feet. He
asked:
CIVIL you, sir, allow me to give you
the figures9"
Certainly, sir, shall be glad to
have you do So" was Mr.. Wong's court
eous answer.
"Now, then, sir" began the Profes-
sor, and he named sum upon sum, not
going beyond the tens of thousands, but
giving him at least thirty different sums
to add. When they were all on paper
Mr.. Wong asked:
"And now is that all, sir ?"
"That's ALL" replied the Professor;
"get ready to add"
Mr.. Wong stood smiling, and when
the Professor had Strengthened himself
up and said. "Now begin" he quietly
remarked, every well, sir, here Is my
amount" This before the astonished
Professor had time to get half way up
the first column.
"But you're not through already =
remarked the Professor.
Here is the footing of my figures,
was the response; and he read them, the
footing being exact.
"Please read that again, sir, said the
Professor.
He did so, and the astonished Profes
sor was forced to admit that he was right

Frustration of an Attempt to Guido All

Previous Train Robberies.
From the Toledo Bade.l
A singularly daring and well-planned
scheme to rob the express train ON the
Lake Shore Railroad was frustrated this
morning by the action OF detectives and
officials who had become aware OF the
plot through the confession OF one Of
the parties TO the plot. The conspira
tors were l.. @. Hartwell, an ex-conduc
tor on the road, two brothers named
Dwight, and Texas desperate named
Sophus, all former brakemen on the
road, and well acquainted with every
detail of the running OF the trains.
They went some days ago to the little
station of Archibald, and prepared for
their work. Supt. Cone, of the United
States Express Company, was advised of
their movements and kept watch upon
them. Last night, accompanied by
Capt. Purdy and Sergt. Nohl, of the
city police, Detective Cavanaugh, of the
Lake Shore Road, and another person,
all in disguise, went out on the west
ward bound train until he met the east
ward bound Chicago express, which was
boarded, two of his party taking po-
sition in the express car and three going
into the baggage car adjoining, to emerge
upon signal to be given by pulling the
beil-rope. The night was intensely dark,
and the rain was falling heavily. The
express messenger in the car was in
structed TO lie down and feign sleep.
Shortly after leaving Wauseon for the
long run into the city those waiting in

by an anger. The robbers outside care
fully inspected the inside of the car
through this hole, and were satisfied that
everything looked favorable. They then
bored out u piece of the door, and Hart
well reached in his hand to unbolt the
door, In an instant his hand was seized
by those inside, and his arm drawn
through to the shoulder. The signal
was given by pulling the rope to those
in the baggage car, who opened the
door and sprang out upon the astonished
scoundrels from the rear. A desperate
fight ensued with bilhes and knives.
The thieves tried to throw themselves
from the train and drag the officers with
them, and nearly succeeded, but at last
were all dragged inside the baggage
car and secured. The train was not
checked in its speed, but continued
running at the rate of 40 miles an hour
during the whole encounter, which
greatly complicated the conditions of tie
fight. In little while the train reached
the city, and the desperadoes were placed
in the prison. They were heavily armed,
and masked with Ku-Klux masks. They
were all severely, but not dangerously,
beaten about the heads with the slung-
shots of the officers. The latter escaped
with but little injury. The whole affair
was admirably planned on both sides. If
the robbers had been successful they
would have secured about 1915, COO III
currency and $125, 900 in coin.

The Japanese are paying considerable
attention to the subject of female educa-
ton, and the Empress has taken an active
part by opening Normal School for
girls at Yeddo. The Superintendent of
the school, at its opening, said of its
objects "Our earnest desire is that
those who may in after time complete
their education here may become virtu-
Gus women, and so assist their husbands;
virtuous mothers, and so instruct their
children and that, by their giving birth
to and rearing Up a worthy population,
our country may be come prosperous
and tranquil land" This is good start
in the direction of education, and has
good ends in view. These Orientals
may yet teach us lessons in the blessings
of popular education, provided, always,
they do not initiate us in the woman's
rights business, which is so apt to tacf
itself upon every movement for the eds,
cation of women.

The Correlationrof forces is beauti-
fully exhibited by the manner in which
the balance is preserved in the atmos-
phere. The vast quantity of carbonic
acid given out by human beings during
expiration, added to that given out by
the animal creation together with what
IS produced by fermentation, putrifac-
tion and other causes which would soon
taint the air, is all employed by plants
as their food.
The sun, moon and stars moving by
