 Hade.
 At two o'clock every Friday afternoon la dies in couples and groups, with cook books in hand, as though renewing their school days, are seen vending their way towards English Hall. They are school girls with this advantage, that they have learned that the education of to-day is incomplete with out training in the things of every day life. Many of them are matrons of experience in domestic economy. yet not too old to learn.
 Promptly at half-p two Miss Parloa be- gan her lesson yesterday. Two hundred la dies were present. Praised beefsteak was the meat lesson, followed by less substantial but no less palatable dishes, like snow pudding, poverty cake, etc. Our reporter, calculating his chances on snow pudding after two hun dred ladies had had taste, brayely retreated.
 The ladies are again calling for Mrs Dam iels, of Dsdham, for lesson In cake making. Mrs. Daniels is specialist in the making and decoration of cake. Her coming will depend on the necessary number of tickets being sold. If one hundred tickets at fifty cents each are taken she will be invited. otherwise not This will be an extra lesson. probably, immediately following the twelve lessons now in progress. Mrs. Daniels gave lesson last spring, and will be remembered as very in. teresting lady and skillful in her speciality. It is very desirable that she shall come. No trouble in selling the required number of tickets is anticipated. Below is complete report of the subjectsa treated by Miss Parloa yesterday:

Making Gold Rings.

Gold rings are made from bars nine
or fifteen inches long. A bar fifteen
inches long, about two inches wide and
three-sixteenths Oh a inch thick, was
worth 81 900 1t would make 800 four
pennyweight rings. A dozen processes
and twenty minutes Of time are required
to change the bar into nerclaantable
rings. A pair of shears Gu the bar in
to strips. By the turn of Wheel, one,
two or three times, the gniliotine-lik ike
blade of the shears chops the bar into
slices one, two or three-sixteenths of an
inch wide. A rolling machine presses
out the strips and makes them flat or
grooved Each strip is then put under
the blowpip and annealed. The oxide
of copper comes to the surface and is
put into pickle of sulphuric acid. the
bit of gold is stamped with its quality
and the name of the maker, and is put
through machine that bends it to the
shape of a ring, the same machine max
ing ring of any size. The ends are
soldered with an alloy Of inferior fine
ness to the quality of the ring. Many
people imagine that rings are run in a
mold because they cant see where they
are soldered. The ring spins through
the turning lathes, is rounded and pared
and polished, first with tripoli and then
with steel filings and rouge. They are
now ready for the market and matri-
m0ny.

received sundry packages of money and
other valuables from the east bound Lake
Shore train this morning, and put them in
bags standing outside. Somebody from
the ice room called TO him, and no one
being in sight, he stepped little way from
the vehicle to ascertain who called; re-
turning, he drove to the express com
pany's main Office, and there discovered
two bags similar to the company's pouches
but filled with brown paper had been
substituted for the Two containing the
money The robbery had been carefully
planned by experts and executed at the
moment Granger's attention. was diverted
The missing pouches are said to contain
in the neighborhood of Sf5, 900 in thirty
packages of remittanees from railway sta
tions on the Lake Shore road between
Chicago and Toledo, to headquarters.
The amount cannot be definitely known

but be careful that you move upward. and
