EDUCATIONAL L TOPICS.

Some one who desires to remain
anonymous will erect for the New
York University a central building,
to cost about $3.50, 900.
The s15O,O0O needed for the hall
of history at the American (Metho-
dis0 University at Washington was
subscribed at a recent meeting of the
trustees.
Chauncey NJ. Depew says OF the
University Of Michigan: "That
University is, believe, one of the
most remarkable educational institu-
tions In the United States. 1t has
about 5000 students. The school is
a miniature republic and is governed
by laws Of its own making"
New York Euening Post: In con-
sequence of the large number of
students who have applied for ad-
mission to the new medical high
school for women in st. Petersburg,
the authorities have decided to admit
female students to the medical
departments of all the universities
in the Russian Empire.
An American, Miss Grace CHS
holm, has taken the degree of doctor
Of philosophy at the University of
Gottingen, with the express permis.
sion OF the Prussian minister of edu-
cation. This is the first degree ever
taken by a woman since Gottingen
became a Prussian university. The
Emperor has hitherto opposed the
admission of women to the imperial
universities.
The announcement has been made
public that President Seth Low
would give to Columbia College its
new library, to cost about $1,o0O,-
900, and W. O. Schermerhoin would
give $500, 900 to pay for the erection
of one Of the building on the new
site. Tho New York Evening Post
says In this connection: "Presldent
Lows magnificent gift Of $1,000, 900
Columbia College for library build
ing makes, we believe, nearly six
millions the college has received in
gifts since he succeeded to the pres
dency. This may be fairly said to
sbeat the record among American
colleges, II We expect the foundation

ONES OWN MANICURE.

From Harper's Bazaar.
Hot water is the first requisite, and
a thorough washing OF soaking of the
hands. This is best by having the
hot water poured in basin contin-
ually for two or three minutes. The
hands must be allowed to soak for
fully five minutes, and 1t is well,
instead Of soap, to wash the hands
very thoroughly in brand, which
makes the skin soft and white.
After the hands have been thoroughly
cleansed, the nails should then be
attended to. With a piece OF orange
wood stick sharpened to point, and
bit or jewelers. cotton rolled around
the point and we With the acid that
comes for this purpose, every parti-
Gle Of dirt and stain should be
removed. The hands must then
again be washed, this time in warm,
not hot, water. Scissors, very sharp
and fine, must then be taken, and
all loose flesh at the side of the nails
carefully trimmed. The nails must
be shaped in pointed oval. All
roughness must be fled away, and
the flesh at the base OF che nail
pushed smoothly and firmly back, SO
that the half supposed to be
a point Of beauty, can be discerned.
1t is no longer considered good form
to have so much polish on the nails
that they look as though they had
been buttered, as was the fashion
two or three years ago. But a GER
tain amount OF polish is necessary.
Rosaline put on over the entire nail
and the end Of the finger, then
washed of again, and the nails pol
ished briskly with a polisher, makes
the hands look very trim and pretty.
The first manicuring is by all odds
the most difficult. After the nails
and hands are once got into good
condition, fifteen minutes each Mon
day morning will keep them in
proper condition all the week
through, II only ordinary care In
washing the hands, with an occas.
ional rub from the polisher, is given.

I have sent Mr.. Maflitt and Zevely
the proceedings of democratic con-
vention for Laclede county he'd on
the 18Th day of May, demanding that

in this county by asking a further
expression. If | believed the state
committee was sincere and wanting
to get the party expression, would
probably co o-operate with it, but I
have no sympathy with deceptive

ers of such schemes"

THE IRA YELLING INVALID.

FIR m Harper's Bazaar. 49,
A few months ago a very frail suf-
ferer was to be transported distance
of about one hundred and seventy
five miles in a direction which
usually involved three changes of
cars. In the days when the daugh-
ter of the wealthiest citizen of Rhode
l'lnp1 was conveyed on a litter, not
even her father's entire fortune
could have purceased for her any
greater ease, or haYe shortened the
tire Of the toilsome journey. Now,
withFTan SoutTay equivalent to the
PURCHASE of about sixteen seats inh
pa. lor car for the. distance TO be tra-
yorsed--ths posseseioa.of an tstnxe
nus car" was secured Iui w. ON, =
trip, the car being transferred ard
attached to the regular trains on
ca h of the connecting railroads
Which must be employed. The in
valid was therefore as unconscious
o. 2hange as babe carried in arms,
All we all know that at the end of a
lOrg journey "the babyn is usually
the freshest member of the party.
In this case the ''invalid carr
proved to be an ordinary parlor
ca, about one third of which was
set apart and arranged as bedroom.
In this bedroom was, not a sofa, but
l genuine bed, I'd and generous
.! proportions and luxurious in all
itS appointments, and five or six
chairs for the other members of the
party, should there be SO many. 1t
may be parentically remarked that,
as a rule, the fewer there are of
these the better for the invalid. A
good nurse and one or two friends to
come in occasionally, one at a time,
and give cheerful word, are far
better than more. The room is we'll
ventilated, and as much or as little
d'aught as desired may be secured
thing not always possible in a pri-
Va.e house. Connecting with the
o~droom, and belonging exclusively
70 it, is a toilet-room containing
very convenience, including a sup
ply of hot as well as cold water, and
a porter always at hand when
needed.
IN such car, in perfect isolation,
AMI with every home comfort, the
fIGilest invalid may be transported
thousands of miles with little If any
more fatigue than il remaining at
home, and all the while enjoying the
great benefits of change of air and
scene. The only additional comfort
which could he imagined is a gas or
electric stove, on which, on long
journey, the nurse might prepare
the invalid's food. But except on
long trips, this would prove a super
fluffy, for it is easy to carry one
6ay's supplies, and an alcohol lamp
steve for heating them.

that he had proposed and had been

The great Peralta grant, situated
in Arizona and New Mexico, and
covering 12,465,OoO acres of land,
which has been on trial for three
weeks, was decided in favor Of the
government. The court held every
title paper to be forged and manu-
factured and that the mission records
of San Salvador, California, were
forged to enable the wife of the
claimant to connect herself with the
Peralta family. Chief Justice Reed
announced that it was not necessary
to determine who Mrs. 'Peralta-
Reavis was, but it was sufficient to
hold that she was not an heir OF the
alleged grant nor entitled to main
tain the suit. Upon advisement,
Reavis was arrested by the United
States mar hal for asserting false
claims against the government, upon
complaint made by United States
Attorney Reynolds, under instruc-
tiors given by Attorney General
Olney before he left tho department
of justice. This practically ends the

Rational Dress In Bicycling.

Ladies who ride cycles appear to be pretty evenly divided on the question whether short skirt or knickerbocker is the most rational dress for their pas time, but an incident which occurred last night outside a newspaper office points to the suitability of the latter. There is custom which is general here of carrying at night paper Venetian lantern within the spokes of the wheel, instead of a regulation lamp. One young woman has found that the plan may be pretty, but it is dangerous She came into contact with the curb, upset the machine, and the candle in the lantern set her skirts alight, and there was rush on the part of gallant pedestrians to put tbe flames out, which were hap pily ext!naushed before much damage was done, except to the lady's knees. Had worn knickerbockers. '' she said, II should have come to no harm. ''- London Telegraph.

ERRICO'S CONDITION.

He Win Probably Die and SpadOla's
 Bonds are Not Reduced-Onicer Tehan "Jugs" Midnight ProwIer.
 In the city court this morning Prosecuting Attorney Webster, an nounced that Nicola Errico's condition was still serious and there was yet danger of death. It may be a long time before he will die, but the probabilities are that death will be the result of his wound. He asked to have the case of Spadola adjourn ed until August 2S.
 Clerk Bronson said that Spadola's bonds mau had applied to him yesterday to have the bond reduced and he told him to ap- ply to the court.
 Attorney Webster thought that under the present conditions the bonds should not be reduced. No action was taken.
 John Carney said he was an inmate of the town house and that he was so sick he could scarcely stand up. Judge Cowell thought a ride on the cars and A little air at New Haven would do him good. He sent him down for thirty days.
 Officer Tehan was patroling his beat in Brooklyn about one o'clock this morning and when on South Riverside street saw a man lying on a veranda. AS he approach ed the house the man raised himself and called, 'Is that you, Maurice " Officer Tehan went to the man, asked him if he lived there and when he found out that he did, ordered him into the house. He obeyed. The officer had gone but short distance when the man opened the front door and calling after the officer shouted: "You --i if you come into this yard again I'll blow your - head off. Give me that revolver" The officer went back and the man went into the touse. He came out again alter the officer passed by and wanted to set dog which was in the yard after him. Officer Tehan remained around for short time and the fellow came out again with another man and started down the New England railroad tracks. The officer fol lowed after and heard the man telling his companion how he had scared two officers out of the yard by firing three shots after them. He was very drunk and Officer Te han placed him under arrest. He proved to be the we'll known John Ryan.

WASHING THE DISHES.
There Is a Right and n Wrong Way In
 This ProSaic Occupation.

This ProSlic Occupation.
 With a view tn assisting readers tH the right way is hero appended in brief an extended dissertation on the washing of dishes which recently appeared i'll some of the weekly exchanges. As res cued from its circumlccution and pre- sented ill Good Housekeeping, the sub stance of the instructions given was as follows:
 The articles required for a dish wash ing equipment comprise clean sink, plenty ot hot water, a high grade soap without an excess of soda, dish drain CT and plenty of room for handling tho work, dishcloths and mops, cake of sapolio, bottle of diluted ammonia, a knife cleaner and plenty of clean, dry towels. When the dishes have been placed in the suds, they should be i'm mediately washed out, rinscd and wiped. Leaving them ill the soapy wa ter has tendency to injure the glaze. Before commencing operations see that the cups and glasses are emptied of any surplus fluids, and that other dishes are freed from remnants of the feast, wheth- CT fluids, Semifluids or solids Wash the dishes of one kind together, for the req son that, apart from less liability to damage, they go together through all the subsequent stages and reduce the labor of handling to minimum.
 Begin with the glassware, following with the finer china. By this time it is likely that the suds will be too cool for efficient service. In that case it may be brought to the right temperature by add ing more hot water and a little soap. Take the silver next, and after washing place it upon the drainer, rinsing it by pouring hot water upon it from a pitch CT. The same process may be pursued ill regard to other dishes and is a very excellent method of rinsing, but with fine china care is to be taken that the water is not too hot, else the vessels may be cracked.
 Carrying on the system thus far in dicated, the remainder of the task will be found comparatively easy. One class of dishes at a time is to bo taken, deftly washed and passed on, the suds being changed or re-enforced as often as it loses heat. All the dishes and appurte- nanCeS of the table which are used and handled should be washed after each meal.
 After the dishes arc out of the way comes the cutlery. This should be rinsed, wiped, secured and again wiped to remove any traces of the polishing material This securing is not by any means formidable process if proper appliances are provided, but in that connection it should be borne ill mind to place the blade fiat upon the scour- ing board to avoid strain upon the han dles, and in the washing handles of knives or forks should never be inn mersed in hot water. They should be quickly washed over and wiped dry. It also may not be amiss to suggest the importance of giving prompt attention to the inside of articles like pitchers, mugs and cups. The difficulty of access emphasizes the necessity of care and promptness. Sedimentary stains are easily removed on the first day, they "stick like a brother" on the second, and afterward seem to have become al most 8 part of the fiber of the material
