TYLER & CHEWNING, The city council of Baltimore, at the instance of Mr. John B. Wentz, hasempowered the board of school commissioners to establish a school for manual training in the center of the city. Last Apml the school board adopted a resolution setting forth that it is well known that a number of the boys and girls leave the pubiic schools of Baltimore without any knowledge of the mechanic arts or other industrial pursuits, and find themselves at once in front of the re- alities of life, destitute of the means of earning Slivelihood. Mesers. Plaskitt, Morris, Bowers and Hancock, a committee ot the school board, investigated the question, hearing the views of State Superintendent M. A. Newell, Messrs. J. B. Wentz, A. Bowie Davis and others. The school board last June, on the favorable report of ifs committee, proj to start a manuai training school, and the late action of the city coune authorizing coe once nee of sucha school was a necessary ste} To put the Baltimore Manual Training School under way would cost, it has been estim: $5,000, not including rent. This amount woul provide for a competent instructor and twent or thirty boys. A similar school in St. Louis referred to by Governor , of 5 “as one of our educational ornaments, worthy of the patronage of our sogs and the respect of our citizens.” The principle determinin; igation of the manual training sch sbould be instruc- tion in the use of tools, not for ton in any particular trade, bat for loping skill of hand in the funaamental manipulations con- nected with the industrial and also a3 a means of mental development. The results ex- pected of industrial education are ao ment of our manufactures, the elevation of the pro- ducing classes, the removal of obstacies to learn- ing a trade, the diminution of crime, the pore larization ot education and the dissemination of peculiarly American ideas. pariae Seat a aa A RBIVAL OF NIAGARA. ‘The Great Shoshone Waterfall to be the Nucleus for a Rocky Mountain Hesert. From the Omaha Dispatch in the Chicago Tribune. Two Omaha capitalists and a banker, of Butte, Montana, have embarked in no less an enter- prise than the purchase of a waterfall—the Big- Shoshone—in Idaho. Until six months ago the property was not ‘in sight” and its existence was only known throngh the report of an occa- sional hunter, who reaching the edge of the basin which surrounds the approach to the falls, peered at them curiously at a distance of three- fourths ofa mile and gained only an unsatis factory impression ofa vast body of water, much spray and more roar. From the edge of this basin there was no sure footing to a nearer point of view. Blasting and picking have cut a path throush the rocky sides to the water's edge and the falls can now beas easily viewed as Niagara. The Snake river which forms these falls, is at this point a deep stream, running for twenty- five miles through lava rocks hundreds of feet in height. At the falls, which are 1.500 feet wide and have a descent of 210 feet, the rocks loom up grandly to from 500 to 1.000 feet in height. Their brown walls are utterly bare and, except for a grassy plot of afew acres, witha cool spring and’a shady grove, which border the falls, the scene is one of utter desolation. For miles beyond the lava beds stretch away, with only the sage brush and cactus to relieve their barren waste. Three miles above are the Twin falls, with a descent of 180 feet and cloven by a huge rock. The river is broad and deep between the Twin falls and the Big Shoshone and a boat ride along this stretch is exciting, but not necessarily dangerous. Perpendicular walls rise on either side and a “hello” or a cornet peal echoes and rebounds a dozen times. Several tourists who have visited the place within afew weeks de- clare it a wonder and do not hesitate to draw comparisons with Niagara. eo STRANGE FREAK OF A GIRL. Seeking Work In A Mill Disguised In Boy’s Attire. There lives in Valdosta, Ga., a young girl of 14summers, of ordinary size, with auburn locks, and eyes with a tendency to blue. This girl Catharine Herwitt has led a quiet and.un- eventful life. But determined that she would break the dull monotony of her heretofore quiet lifeand resolved to throw offthe restraints which had bound her and go out into the world and meet fate as became a brave heroine, she confided her intentions to a friend. Her plans were discussed, the sympathy of her confidant secured, and hasty preparations were made to carry them into execution. Catharine had made up her mind to appear to the world asa man. Herhair was closely cut and she soon incased herself in a suit of clothes provided for the purpose. Her friend looked upon her with admiring eyes and pronounced her a fine coun- terfeit of youthful manhood. Catharine bade her assistant a hasty adieu and set out with a beating heart upon her life's errand. After she had got without the town limits the thought struck her for the first time what todo ard where to go. She went she knew not where, and at last came to Wall’s mill, six miles east of Valdosta; she ta'ked busi- ness and said she wanted- employment, though her physique did not present the form ot a man. Yet no one doubted her sex, and she was given aposition at the mill. The young adventures worked for a day or two and the mill hands were none the wiser. Meantime the father of the girl gave the news tliat his daughter had run away, andacareful search was instituted to discover her whereabouts. By mere accident he lesrned that a strange person answering the description given was at Wall’s mill. Mr. Her- witt to the place mentioned and claimed his lost girl. The wouid-be boy was taken back home and severely lectured on her strange freak. i ABDUCTED BY HER HUSBAND. How Friends of the Bride Were Out- witted After Three Years. A telegram from Ottawa, Ontario, Oct. 1. says: A great sensation was caused in St. John, New Branswick, on Saturday night by a case of wife-abduction. About three years ago Miss Lena Robinson, a handsome young lady whose father occupies a prominent position in connection with the Government Savings Bank, in that elty, was secretly married at Am- herst, N. Y., to De Blavier Carritte, a son of Dr. Carritte, of that place, contrary to the wishes of his parents, who had a more eligible partner in view. The couple separated immediately after the ceremony, the lady returning to her parents and Carritte going to New York. When the secret leaked out there was great indignation in the Robinson household, and it was determ- ined that a divorce should be procured. For this purpose, it is sald, the young lady resided in one of the eastern states for some time, but Carritte was determinedly opposed to any such proceeding. and the lady was brought home. Carritte returned to St. John this year and established himself in business. He was not al- lowed to approach his wife. About 10 o'clock on Satu night, accompanied by friends, he followed Mr. inson and his daughter to- ward their home, and when in a dark street as- saulted Robinson and seized the young lady, 2d Edition.

Dr. Hall's Journal of Health tn a recent issue, says: “This question has caused a good deal of discus sion, Alum is used by many bakers to whiten their bread, enabling them to use an inferior flour, It 1s more extensively employed as a cheap sub- stitute.for cream of tartar in the manufacture of baking powders. It has not been considered im- mediately Gangerous; although if continued it induces dyspepsia and obstinate constipation. But the fact that many cases of poisoning have occurred from baking powders which contained alum, puts the question in a more serious asp-ct, and prudent people will exercise caution in the selection of baking powders. “Under what conditions, then, does this sub- —formeriy used only for mechanical or med- Aclnal purposes—become poisonous?
