Here is his anbwer, nearly in his own words: 'A German (except myself, who am the idlest of men) gets up early summer and winter at about five o'clock, lie works four hours before breakfast, sometimes smoking all tho time, which does not interfere with his application. Ilia breakfast lasts half an hour, and he remains afterward another half hour, talking wi!,h bis wife and playing with his children. lie returns to his work for six hours, smokes an hour after dinner, playing again with the children and before he goes to bed he works four hours inore. lie begins again every day and never goes out. This is how i' coines to pass that Oersted, the greatest natural philosopher 1b Germany, is at tho same time the greatest physician this is how Kant, the metaphysician, was one of the most learned astronomers in Kurope and how Goethe, the first and ino3t fertile author in Gertnany in almost all kinds of literatures, is ah excellent botanist, mineralogist uud natural philosonher."'

EVAXSVM.I.R, lnd., May -7.--An utr tempt at wholesale murder was made Wednesday on the farm of .lames Caraway, in Knight township, about & miles from this city. Some unknown person has, for reasons of a mysterious .nature, formed an enmity ajrain.il Mr. larawav and his family, which consists of his wife and three children, a son 15 years of a£e, a daughter 12 years and a 3-year-old baby. His farm was. a few weeks uijo, visited by a gan^r of trespassers after eight who made the orchard the object of their attack. They dug tho dirt away from the roots of the trees in such a way as to kill all the blossoms, and almost caused the trees to perish. Not satisfied with this mischief his enemies designed to commit murder, and a wholesale slaughter at that, and the waters in the well on tho premises were poisoued. Thursday morning, immediately after breakfast, all the memliers of the "family were taken suddcL'ly sick and l)eyan to vomit and purge. Dr. 11 ay den was sent for, and on his arrival he took a drink of tl:e well water, and in a short time he aiso be^ran to purjre and vomited freely. He al once suspeeled that his patients had been postponed and that it was in the well water. He gave them antidotes and soon had Mr. Caraway and his soil oul of danger, although they are still suffering from the irritation.

Kuuat'u Mntr tnoulnl Ventured III'N'TiNGTo.v, lnd., May 27. After two weeks of very hard fighting William G. 1-oust and Lydia Long were married Thursday. Tho groom is 7S while the bride is 40 years old. This is Mr. Foust's fourth venture in matrimony, the other three being productive of much trouble. When his children heard of his prospective marriage to Mrs. Long they objected. Mr. Fouxt is very wealthy an$ they were afraid his fortune would suffer. The children worked all kinds of plans to prevent the marriage, but it was not- until Wednesday that a settlement was made. An anlc-iwptial contract was signed by both parties by which Mrs. Foust is to receive only 52,000 from the estate in case she survives her husband. This nited the children, and one son procured the license, Mr. Foust's matrimonial experiences would fill a large hook. ouhlu't Kt:ep -Secret. llrrm.Ntjiox, lnd..

Salvation Army Institution.

THE ALAMEPA HOME.

The Salvation Army in San Francisco, as in man)- other cities, is raising money for buildings, and has nsod its first accumulations for a "rescue home.'' Mrs. Carrie Judd Montgomery donated an aero of ground, a beautiful site in tho Alameda foothills, and the dedica. tion of the ground was made the occasion of a grand gathering. The Home, as it is to be called, will have thirty rooms and accommodate forty girls, for whom work and education will be provided, with all social and religious inducements to reform and lead a better life.

POWDER AND BALL.

Italy is rivaling Kngland both in the number aud tho quality of her torpedo cruisers.

The improvements iu shrapnel shell during the past few years have made great additions to the mau killing power of artil lcry.

The Dertlder rifle that the French are arming their troops with will not, it is thought, answer the purpose whenthenew smokeless powders are used.

It is rumored abroad that the Mannlicher rifles, with which the German nrmy 1h armed, will shortly be either supplanted hy another type of still smaller caliber or else he materially modiiied and certain defects remedied.

The organized militia of the United States consists of 101,:£!1 enlisted men, commanded by 8,879 commiisioncd officers, liesides 1,'J48 stall' officers, innking a t.'.tttl aggregate of 111,IMS men. The number of men in the United Stales available for military duty, unorganized, is b,507,350. .Secretary Klkins has directed that the designation of the institution known as the "post canteen" be changed to the "post exchange." This action is taken because of a tendency on the part of the public to associate the word "canteen" with that article of a soldier'H outfit intended to carry water, hut sometimes used for carrying spirituous liquor.
