One ofthe prominent Directors ofthe
Toledo University, in letter to Mrs.
Ewing, says, "Your method is, in our
Judgment, superior to any system we
have found. Indeed, it is the applica-
ton of the same method In the depart

the workshop for boys. We felt that
this was possible, but have heretofore
found no one who had entered upon the
task of working it out. Can you aid US
in finding such an instructor"

Domestic Economy is taught, but to the
Iowa Agricultural College belongs the
credit of being the first to put this sci
ence on a level with all other sciences;
and upon Mrs. Emma Z Ewing must
be conferred the honor of first reducing
household economy to system, and
organizing a school which will give to

Guns That Never Shed Blood.

Load after load of large packing boxes have
been tugged from the freight depots of this city
to the United States armory during the last
three weeks. The boxes have been stored in
the cellars of the arsenals, in different parts of
the shops and various places Their contents
will be used in the manufacture of new arms
for the Government The cases contain 10000
muzzle-loading muskets of the old Springfield
pattern, which have been shipped here from
arsenals in Pittsburg and Allegany City, Pa,
and Indianapolis. The arms were made by
contractors at orders of the Government during
the last two years of the civil war for the use of
the Federal troops, and on manufacture and
purchase were stored in the three arsenals indi-
Gated until they should be needed. But no call
ever came for them, and they have stood in
dusty silence and inaction since 1867. Others
that were manufactured at the same time with
them or before them only to wait uncalled for,
have since met the same fate which will be that
of these weapons. Built to deal death and
destruction, they will be broken up, part going
into the new arms and part into the heap of
old metal. And when these thousands of
muskets shall have been worked over there
will have vanished from the arsenals of the
country the last Of the guns made to carry on
our civil strife.

An Old War Relic.
Montgomery (Ala.) 4duertiser.l

Montgomery (AtG) Aduertserl
Col. Thomas G. Jones has presented to Capt.
John II. Clsby, for Battery B. Montgomery
Field Artillery, cannon ball, which is highly
priced on account Of the interesting history
woven about it. 1t was dug out some six feet
under ground by workInen grading one of the
principal streets of Winchester, Va. last Sum-
mer As the grade of the pike (which after
wards became the street, has certainly not been
as low this century as the depth of the ball. and
as the surface of the street, when worn by travel
has always been covered with broken stones
soon forming a hard macadamized surface
through which the ball could not possibly work
its way, it is certain that the cannon ball was
placed where it was found in the latter part of
the last century. The only cannon or cannon
balls in that part OF Virginia up to that time
were brought there by George Washington for
the armament of old Fort London, which he
built and for time commanded, at Winchester
to protect the country from the incursions of
the Indians shortly after Gen. Braddock's de-
feat. The remains of this fort can still be seen
near the spot where the ball was found, and it
fits the bore Of the cannon then in use. Itseems
to be quite certain that this ball was used at
Fort London nearly century and half ago.

An UnSayOry Suit.

A very extraordinary case was recently sub
mitted to the Kentucky Court of Appeals in
volving an estate of $4,000. Thomas Haly
died in 1888 leaving no will. He had two
wives living and one dead. By the first he had
five children, by the second, who is dead, he
had four children, and by the third wife six
children. He was divorced from his first wife
in 1S47, after the birth of three children.
After his marriage to the second wife he con-
tinued to live illicitly with the first. The sec
ond wife died, and the first had the divorce
proceedings reopened, and she was reinstated
in her marital rights. Subsequently daugh-
ter born to them after the divorce was married
to her father, with the consent of the mother.
The children of the first marriage now claim to
be heirs at law, which the other children deny
because it cannot be proved that Thomas was
the legal husband of Martha, the first wife.
The children of the second marriage claim to
be the heirs because the third marriage was in
cestuons. Thus daughter is trying to prove
her own ilegitimate birth and recover property
at the expense of the reputation of her mother,
who is also her mother in law.

The Formulation of London.

The London City Press publishes some inter-
esting facts and figures of London. In the
metropolis there are 101 hospitals, in which
and which dispense outdoor relief to 100000
annually. Twenty-Five per LOCO of the popu-
lation are paupers, and are relieved at cost of
over two and a half millions sterling 1t also
seems that there are many more lunatic women
than men. Cabs have increased during the last
10 years from 10000 to over $4,000; 14,47s chill
dren were lost in London last year. Greater
London contains an area of AS, ,334 acres. The
population for this year is given as 5,199 166, of
whom 60 252 are foreigners, As, 9,554 Scotch, S0776
Irish, 3,214 blind, and 1872 deaf and dumb. In
1854 there were II ,705 licensed public and beer
houses, and Il, 5,519 males and 9,61S females were
charged with drunkenness In the same year
there were 265 persons killed and 1892 MANNED
by street accidents, and 354 suicides. There
were 20,667 articles lost in public conveyances,
of which IL ,24S were restored. There are 407
newspapers published in London.

How Gen. Fremont Lives.

1t has been telegraphed all over the country
that Gen. John c. Fremont is passing the few
remaining days Of his life in dire distress. He
is represented to be penniless, and the story
goes that his friends Of the old days had all de-
serted him. This is not true. Gen. Fremont
is growing old very rapidly, but he is living
comfortably. He is often seen on Broadway
and in Wall street, where he has many friends.
His eye is bright and his form is erect. He
lived for some years on Staten Island, but he
has quiet, enjoyable home in the upper part
of New York. He rarely goes into society, and
is never seen at banquets the opera or the
theater. He spends his time in his library
and chatting with one or two of his friends
who drop in to see him occasionally. He was
for years interested in Western mining schemes,
and he hos profitable landed interests in Cali
fornia. He takes no interest in politics now
and seldom refers to them.

The Strongest Nan.
IChicdno Tribunal

There is man in Nevada named Angela
Cardelia, who claims to be the strongest in the
world. He is an Italian, aged 49, stands five
feet 10 inches. weighing 13S pounds. His
strength was born with him, for he had no
athletic training. He differs from other men
chiefly in the osseous structure. Although
not of unusual size, his spinal column is double
the ordinary width, and his bones and joints
are made on a similarly large and generous
scale. He has lifted man of 200 pounds with
the middle finger of his right hand. The man
stood with one foot on the floor, his arms out
stretched, his hands grasped by two persons to
balance his body. Cardelia then stopped down
and placed the third finger of his right hand
under the mans foot, and with scarcely any
perceptible effort raised him to the hight of
four feet and deposited him on table near at
hand. Once two powerful men waylaid Car
della with intent to thrash him, but he seized
one in each hand and hammered them together
until life was nearly knocked out of them. His
strength is inherited, for he says his father
was more powerful than himself

A Singular FynIOsi0u.

The towboat Iron City exploded on the I'd
inst. while attempting to get off a bar in the
Allegany River, near Pittsburg. The boat was
blown to pieces and subsequently burned. The
crew, numbering six men, were blown into the
river. George Ashton, the engineer, was in
stantly killed, and Fred. Jackson was fatally
hurt. The injured are Robert Jackson, fireman,
badly bruised and scalded; Joe Richardson,
badly injured; Councilman Smith Walker,
severely hurt; Billy Wcntley, leg broken !;
James Omsaer, the owner, said to be severely
injured. The Iron City was built in Pittsburg
II years ago, and was l35 feet long and % feet
wide. The original cost was about $4,000.
The accident was caused by natural gas. The
boat struck gas main and broke it, and the
gas took fire from the furnace, causing an ex-
plosion. VIM. Galbraith was SO severely wound
ed that he will probably die. This makes the
total number of injured seven. The boat was
insured for $1,000 in Louisville and Hull COM
panies.

The Cruiser Chicago launched,

The steel cruiser Chicago was lanched on
Saturday last at the shipyard of John Roach &
Son at Chester Pa, which is now operated by
Naval Constructor r. W. Steele, acting for the
Bureau of Construction, and Chief Engineer
w. w. DUNCAN, acting for the Bureau of Steam
Engineering The vessel was christened by
Miss Edith Cleburne, of Philadelphia, who, be-
sides breaking the customary bottle of wine
over the vessels bow, liberated a canary, an
Irish linnet and an oriole. The Chicago is the
largest of the four vessels contracted for by
John Roach & Son, and when completed will
be one Of the most formidable vessels of our
navy, and will range in size and speed among
the higher class of cruising vessels in the world.

The Many Uses Of Cotton.

Now that cotton is coming in, the oil mills
are busy. Nothing about cotton need be wasted.
The fiber having been separated, the seeds are
again linted," all the cotton adhering to them
being removed and sold to the cotton men.
Then the husks are removed and used for fuel
in the furnaces on the premises. After the seed
is ground, cooked and pressed, the oil being
extracted, the refuse forms an oil cake, which
is shipped in large quantities to Great Britain
for food for cattle. Last of all, the ashes have
virtue of their own and are sold at high
price The oil goes to Chicago to make butter
and lard; to Cincinnati, where an Illuminating
oil is made frOm it, and to an Eastern city to
be made into pure olive oil for salads. 1t is
already taking the place of lard in cookery,
greatly to the advantage of everybody. Inferior
grades serve as the basis for the best soaps.
