SCORNED TO EMPLOY A MAN.

New Women at Allcgan, Mich, Build
Their Own SchoOlhouse.
Some of the women of Allegan, Mich,
have determined to have kindergarten
for the little folks. The school directors
would not establish one in connection with
the public schools, so the women ap-
pealeL to charity and secured enough
money to hire a teacher and rent a room.
The room was not quite nice enough to
suit them. so they papered and painted
it. and it is said they did their own car
penter work. There was not u man on
the job. These are all new women.

Harder Than Steel.

Des Moines, Ia, has a modern Tubal
Cain in the person of S. r. Dawson, who
claims to have discovered the lost art of
making Damascus steel" He has ex-
hibited i'll Chicago some samples of cut
lerys made from the metal, which had
an edge keener and smoother than Il
steel razor. This was demonstrated by
a microscope and photography. The new
metal is a combination of copper and tin
and two other elements which Mr.. Daw
son keeps secret. A dagger made from
it looked like polished gold. Mr.. Daw
son claims to be lineal descendant of
Ralph Hogge, who cast the first iron
cannon made in England, and his an
cestors on both his fathers and mothers
sides have been workers in iron and steel.
He says his discovery is partly accident,
but primarily the reward of years of
labor, research and experiment. He
claims that the new steel or hardened
copper is suitable for any kind of cut
lery from a common pocket knife to the
most delicate surgical instrument, and
that no deleterious oxide (rust) forms on
it under the most severe tests. Amy steel

been scaled down 100000 without un-
due strain. or resort to parsimony.
The difficulty with the present Coun-

is that it is afraid to deny anyone any
thing for fear of making political enc

self ridiculous By trying to make it ap-

that it is due to debts left by the Dem

and left an actual surplus mot a sur

Council within recollection.
The inability of the present Council
to- meet this small discrepancy of $50

Of bonds. and its refusal even to at
tempt to exercise a little economy can
be attributed to nothing else than gross
incompetency. or gross neglect of its
