The school is open twii a week. on Sundays from 7 to 0 i:i the morning, and Tuesday's from 8 to 1):C0 evenings not to interfere with any working hours. Instruction is given on weaving machines, textiles and from a large collection of designs and models. There are in use seven power looms and twelve band looms. Subjects discussed arei Origin and development of weaving; designing of pat terns and calculations; method of rating goods; cost of goods; machine construction; comparative jKurer. Exhibitions are held and prizes awarded. The fee paid 13 twelve and a half cents monthly. The object is to make the poorest laborer a skilled workman.

Only ly an Aecldent Was It I'reserved for Posterity to Head. "Tho past rises before me like a dream." Such was the oieniug sentence of CoL Itolx-rt G. Ingersoll's sikc1i at Indianatiolis in 170. I'ri'ir to that time he had placed in nomination lion. James G. Blaine at Cincin nati. Ho was then only a lawyer at Peoria and did not possess a national reputation. That sicoch made him famous. Perhajis, without exception, the tribute paid by Inger soll to tho soldiers on that occasion is the most brilliant piece of word painting in the English language. Some have claimed that the words of Webster in reply to Hayne, of South Carolina, have never been surpassed in terseness and eloquence, but actually there is hardly a comparison. Tho speech of Web ster was carefully prepared. That of Ingcr soll was on tho occasion of a soldiers' reunion. It was delivered to soldiers from a little plat form hastily constructed, on the eastern side of the "eirclo" in that city. Just as he fairly opened his mouth and before his audience could hear a word a band from somewhere struck up directly in J,ho rear of the orator. Laughingly he waited for tho clangor to sub side. Ho then began his famous speech, and perhaps no man had ever bad more complete influence over his hearers than did Iugersoll on that occasion. Men and women cried and were not ashamed of what might sometimes be called weakness. There were signs of a storm and pattering raindrops fell, but the multitude stood entranced and spell bound. That speech has made the name of Robert G. Ingersoll imperishable. Yet it was only by an accident or an incident that it has been handed down to posterity. At that time John D. Nicholas was managing editor of The Indianapolis Journal. His sborthand reporter was Charles W. Stagg, who then happened to be engaged in an important case in the supreme court. As the next best thing Nicholas took in long hand the speech as nearly verbatim as possible, but was so dissatisfied with the work that ho went to Col. Ingersoll and asked his aid in making a perfect report. The colonel said he did not have the scratch of a pencil or tho sign of a note; that every word he bad spoken was extempore, and while he could recall the greater portion, ho could not fur nish it connectedly. As a dernier ressort the newspajier man then returned to his desk and attempted the task of writing out that wonderful tribute to the men who had done and dared that this might be a nation. In a short time a young man shambled up beside him and asked if he would like a report of Ingersoll's speech. In his hand he held a roll of paper, partially brown, partially white, and all dirty. He said his name was Piatt Lewis; that he was a first class stenographer; that he was in hard luck and was on his way from Cincin nati to Chicago; that ho had crawled under the platform and taken down the speech with tha hope of selling his work. Lewis'was paid liberally, came to Chicago afterward, where he became city editor of The Evening News. And it is to this somewhat strange combina tion of circumstances, that the greatest effort of the silver tongued orator's life has been preserved. New York Mail and Express. The IJIgrgest Story Yet. Wo have observed eeveral wonderful stories of lato respecting the skill of the Chinese executioners, who, it is said, can strike off the heads of their victims so skillfully that the poor fellows themselves never discover their loss until a moment or two after they are dead, We recall to mind, however, the story of a German executioner who far surpassed tho Chinese in professional dexterity. Upon one occasion it happened that a criminal who was condemned to death had a singular itch ing to play at nine pins, and he implored permission to play once more at his favorite game before he died. Then, he said, he would submit to his fate without a murmur. The judge, thinking there could bo no harm in humoring him, granted his last prayer, and upon arriving at the place of execution he found everything prepared, for tho game, tho pins being set up and the bowls all ready. He commenced his favorite sport with enthu siasm. After awhile the sheriff, observing that he showed no inclination to desist, made a sign to the executioner to strike the fatal blow while he stooped for a bowl. The ex ecutioner did so, but with such exquisite dex- terity that tho culprit did not notice or feel it. He thought, indeed, that a cold breath, of air was blowing on his neck, and drawing himself back with a shrug, his bead dropped forward into his bands. He naturally "sup posed that it was a bowl which he had grasped, and seizing it flrmly, rolled it at the pins. All of them fell, and the head was heard to exclaim, as it rebounded from the further wall: "Hurrah! I've won the game," Chambers' Journal. ''Luck" on the EallroacJ. Upon one of Chicago's great railways there is one locomotive which is profoundly re spected because no bad spirit has ever got into any part of it, boiler, furnace, crank or whistle. In fifteen years it has never been off the track; has never harmed anybody; has never failed to bring in its train. Its record is as pure as was that of George Washington before th? cfcerry trc episode. The engineers, all like this one machine be cause the devils, great and small, all keep away from it. Whether one good priest flung some holy water on the bell in the night is not known, but the black imps keep away from engine 69. According to the account given by an em ploye upon the same railway, tho company hc3 four new dining cars, of which one was unlucky for three months, and then its bad luck left it. It got off the track often, it3 lamps would smoke, its tables stood deserted, its food uneaten, until in three months its losses reached $S0Q. The other three cars, meanwhile, behaved well and made plenty of money. At last the bad car took fire from its kitchen and burned out that department, and when it was repaired and sent back to work it began, to do well and his made money "right along." "It seemed," said the work man, "as though the bad luck was all burned cut of her." Cor. Chicago Journal. Debts of European Countries. Tho debt of Germany is perhaps' 1,000,000, 000; that of Austro-Hungary is one of the largest in tho world, say $2,300,000,000. The Italian debt is probably -3,200,000,000. But France has more debt than these three coun tries put together, while the debt of Russia is about equal to that of Austro-Hungary end Frus? la proper put togetfrer. -Cinc4nnnti Eucruirer, NOTES, COMMENTS, PARAGRAPHS.

It is suggested that Fashion, if she will, can confer a great boon on Australia, Idaho, and other portions of tho globe that are ruinously overrun by rabbits, by issuing a dictate to the eHect that rabbits' ears, for tho adornment of feminine s!i parel, shall bo in the height of style. It is believed that the result would bo a rabbit famine. The Salvation Army in London, to re lieve as far as possible the distress which prevails at the East end, have acquired large premises in Limehouse, where they will establish a cheap food depot. For ouo penny an adult leceives refreshment and night's lodging or soup and bread. For a half penny he receives either bread or soup. Children are given a basin of soup for a farthing and bread for an ad ditional farthing. The Metropolitan Railway company, of London, lias concluded an arrange ment with the Electric Traction com pany for the experimental running ni.on a section of tin railway of an electric locomotive of tho samo power as the present steam locomotives. If it should prove successful the electric company is to have the option of entering into an agreement for working the railway for live years at rate not to exceed the cost of the working by steam locomotives. At the last meeting of the French Academy of Medicine, Dr. Ollivier sub mitted a supplementary report on the isolation of patients suffering f rom infec tious or contagious diseases. This cov ered only the subject of whooping cough, concerning which it is recornuiended that: "As the duration of whooping cough is extremely variable, pupils should not be authorized to return to their schools until thirty days after the absolute disappearance of the character istic fits of coughing." There are a number of women study ing medicine at the Belgian universities, wishing to obtain situations in tho apothe caries' shops. The pharmaceutical course is tho shortest, and m ?om,e respects the easiest, and it is far cheaper than all other courses. A number of young girls, who have passed the pharmaceutical ex animation, have fascinated tho hearts of country physicians, so that the husband prescribes, tho wife makes up the pre scription, and all the proiits are kept in ino lamuy. A farmer living near Concordia, Kan., . suffered death in a singular manner, lie iiad a feed grinder run by a windmill, and, having occasion to climb above the grinder, the shaft, which was turning t the time, caught his clothes and, in spite of the man's efforts, his stout coat and trousers were wound around the iton bars. He called to lna employes to cut him down, but they could not reach him. It was a fearful squeeze. The sufferer's face grew purple, his eves bulged and the veins stood out. At last the mill could wind no further and stopped, but too late, ine last breatn naa been squeezed out cf it3 victim, and ho hong lifeless, The slaves form a considerable part of tho population of Tangier.

Public auctions are fre quently held in the main street of the bazaar, at which children can be pur chased for from $12 to $20, while fu.U grown men and women ore sold at prices ranging frcii $o0ta $10Q. Masters have absolute power over their slaves, even that of life and death, and in case of sale, transfer them by means of a deed, just as wc .transfer a farm. Under the circumstances it is a. httlo difficult to say whether they are real estate or personal property. Afraid or the litrd.
