Petitisylvattla St. OriSTlFATIOU tA L AJU.IT BAB RESULT LITTLB ALCOHOL C'HAMPAOSE. Lelhurifr from Kxreftnlve lse Is Canned Carbonic Acid tins. New York Commercial. There are two peculiarities about champagne drinking which are capable of explanation. The one is the rapidity with which the wine exhilarates, notwithstanding the small proportion of alcohol it contains. This is due to the carbonic acid gas evolved, which is inhaled while drinking, for It '1s the property of this gas to expedite the action of anything with which it Is associated. It is estimated that on glass of champagne la equal in effect to two glasses of still wine of the same strength, and is more rpid In action. The other peculiarity is the sort of Jethargy or deadness which follows after excessive champagne drinking. This I analogous to the stupor produced by carbonic acid gas, but it is assisted and intensified by the excess of sugar deranging the stomach. 1 he undigested sugar turns into acid, and thus it is that too much champagne is apt to produce dyspepsia. Herein we find both the blessing and the bane of this popular liquor. ' Sweetness is often confused with rlchnes in " wine, hut, as a matter of ' fact, weetness is often proaueed by the addition of sugar, especially in champagne. It has been compared to charity, in that it covers a multitude of sins. The richness proceeding from natural saccharine is produced by a natural arrest of the process of fermentation, leaving an ext-css of saccharine in the liquor. It occurs mostly in the hot climates, but in port making . richness Is produced by the artificial arrest of fermentation. As a medicine, however, champagne Is best "dry." and its tendency then ia to thin the blood. t Typewritten 'Wills. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Some, comment nan been caused in lesjal circles by the fact that the will of the Lite J. Hood Wright, disposing of an estate of over $5,000,009, is typewritten. The will oo. cuples more than ten pages of typewritten matter, and Is loosely bound together by a silk cord. It appears that the highest form of legal practice In the matter of wills is that these documents, no matter how long, should all be written by hand. This is not merely the survival of an old form still adhered to in spite of the greater legibility of typewriting. The opinion of lawyers who prac-tlce in the Surrogate's Court and have to do with the disposition of great estates is that the writing of a will affords added protection against fraud. It Is said that while it would be a comfiaratlvely easy matter to imitate typewritng and introduce a bogus sheet somewhere In the body of the document if it ran over several pages, yet that this coul I not so easily ; be done when alt the matter wis written by hand. In the latter case not only would th handwriting of tho genuine document have to bo imitated, which imitation would itself be forgery and and a crime, but the ink and paper would also have to be Imitated. There are only a few varieties of typewriter paper, and the Inks used on typewriters do not number more than a dozen. Great sale Kogera Knives, Forks and Spoons at Marcy's.

PUPILS IN COOKERY

AN IXTERESTIXG FEATURE OP THE INDUSTRIAL TRAIXIXG SCHOOL. Glimpses of the Various Departments 4 Boys at the Forces and at AVooa Working. Down on South Meridian street, a short distance below the Union Station, Is a large brick building with stone trimmings. It is one of the luxuries at the same time one of the most practical luxuries provided for the children of this city. The Industrial Training School Is the name above the great wide entrance. The pupils who have passed the eight lower grades of the public schools have the privileges of this school. Here the mind and hand come In closer relation. The pupils are taught some branch of Industry; something that will be a benefit to themselves In their life work after leaving the schools. A visitor to the schools, who has been out of the teacher's Jurisdiction a number of years will give a sigh of regret that he was born too soon, for in his day there were no such : advantages for him. The simple desk "with the stationary Ink well, the groove for pens and the uncomfortable seat are things of the past. It Is well that people of influence have Ideas and are able to put them Into practice. The only wonder Is that with the great and ever increasing population, with the thousands of. children of school age, that Indiana has been so long getting an Industrial training school ' for its young. How to do things with the hand i3, however, not tha first consideration. The regular branches of high school study are also taught. The suggestion for the Industrial school came from a set of members of the German Mechanics' Instjr tute, which had Its organization on Maryland street, and which was established In 1884. After many months the Institution now on South Meridian street-was begun. At Its completion the Mechanics' Institute dissolved Its organization. There were tables, benches, tools and various other articles which had, been used In its course of instruction and some little money. All of this became the property, by gift, of the new school. It was gladly received. Within the new building all the best thought of architecture, designer, builder and the committee in charge could suggest has been incorporated. One of the first places to which the visitor will be conducted is the assembly hall. This is a great room, with chairs for five hundred, and folding chairs additional to seat 125 more. The floor declines at a decided angle by broad, low steps. The chairs are in a semi-circle, and so arranged that every one can have a clear view of the platform and so that the speaker may have a view of every face. Here, at frequent intervals, all the pupils meet. This, as Prof. Emmerich, the head of the school, said, "is to create, as4the French express it, an 'esprit de corps.' Where the pupils shall feel that they are part of a great whole." Prof. Emmerich gives talks, and whatever may come up in the general work that it is necessary for all to know is here disseminated. The only ornament of the room is found in four busts, on brackets on the wall, to each side of the platform. These were purchased with the money which was given to the school by the Mechanics' Institute. One is of Alexander von Humboldt, to represent science; one of Benjamin Franklin, representing industry; one of Shakspeare, representing literature, and the last of Froebel, who is called the founder of the Industrial idea in the training of children. There are session rooms and recitation rooms, each equipped with restful seats, real slate blackboards, and a plentiful supply of light from the rear and left sides, and a perfect ventilation. At each three-quarters of an hour the recitations end. At that time the pupils pass from the recitation to the session room, and then to the succeeding class, the signals toeing given by . electric . bells. As the pupils pass the long corridors they are allowed to chat. This, as Mr. Emmerich says, is never loud, but allows relaxation. They pass in twos, sometimes threes or fours, all happy and merry. The topic is usually some subject from the last class or the class to follow. There is not the least confusion, though some are going to the right, some to the left, some up stairs, some down, and still others passing to rooms on the same floor. Where the pupils go up and down stairs there is not the least clatter, because the steps are' covered with rubber, which silences every footstep. ADMIRABLE EQUIPMENTS. One of the ' interesting rooms is the library, with shelves holding one of the best selections of reference books to be found In the city. Here pupils who come before 8 o'clock in the morning report before going to their room. The library is always in charge of a teacher, who will issist in the selection of books and who will be in all respects a librarian. The librarian changes each hour. The pupils only visit the library for information in study hours. The books in this library have been bought by pupils and teachers from the proceeds of entertainments of various kinds. All the daily papers, American and German, are there, . thu magazines, weekly illustrated papers, the Century and other dictionaries. The magazines are bound in numbers, and catalogued so as to be ready reference books. The pupils pass in and out of the room with much freedom. Jn the recitation rooms there are adjustable desks. At the side of tho ceat is the desk, vertlcle between the arm of the seat occupied and the next. By means of a lever the desk is raised, turned and placed in easy position for the pupil to use. In one room the pupils were having instruction in writing from Professor W. J. Thisselle. Not the plain up and down and curved strokes of penmanship, pure and simple, but with some of the nourishes, which combined form a bird. With definite description the teacher was showing just what parta should be made first and he made the copy with chalk on the board. After certain sweeping strokes were taken, they were added to, one by one till a bird seemed to bo soaring from the paper. For the drawing lessons the pupils have the greatest conveniences. First a fine north light, one of the most essential requisites. The desks are . more like a violin music stand, in their possibilities than anything else. There is first a tripod of iron in the center of which i3 a socket. By means of screws the desk may be raised or lowered, turned to the right, left or any position and not only that but by means of a third screw it may bo placed at any angle. The instructor is Mr. F. II. Noyes, a graduate of Cornell, an instructor in Bostoh, before coming here, juid a man who believes that every individual, with talent or without should study drawing in order to be better able to appreciate it. All the work in flit-? department is freehand. On each denk there is an object. from which the pupils draw. A vase, a sprouting onion, an apple, a dish, a saucer, a child's shoe, an instrument. In fart, no two things alike. In an adjoining room there is -an advanced class. Some pipils were at work drawing from casts and others, were linking pictures in water colors, a teapot and some lumps of sugar being the subject for one and a group of led and yellow apples that for another, while one sketch which Ktood on th-i table showed a glass with a flower in it. The bill of lading lias been received for a collection of casts which represent the expenditure of $ti)0 for thin department. When they are in . position the school will hive one of the best collections in the West. There are 13 pupils i:i this department, divided into -four sections. In the room .where mechanical drawing Is taught Mr. A. J. Bean was showing the pupils about reckoning the distance of a beam of light.. There was a free discussion as to whether the light was from a street lamp twenty feet away or from a greater distance. In the room were many of the drawings which the pupils have made. The desks for this department are high, as the pupils use them when standing. In the room where the physics class had assembled Professor Trees teod near a table and in front of a blackboard, whereupon he was explaining the weight of water in a mt tube. The answers came readily enough, but were of such varying figures that the tube and figures were placed in black and white before the cys of the class, when ail comprehended. The chemical laboratory i one of the most complete departments In the school. The pupils have every convenience that could be suggested. Tables and desks, aas jets, water faucets, drawers for all the appliances "and for generating obnoxious ga.ea. glass-inclosed hoods connected with pipes for carrying off all offensive odors. In the lesser apartments adjoining the chemical laboratory there are places for private experiments by the teachers. The recitation room where the chemistry lesson was given has its seats placed in semi-circles, so that all may clearly see the table and blackboard. Prof. Thaodore W. Smith is the instructor and Mis Kubank the assistant, who will have charge of the chemical ' laboratory. The great, sunny windows facing the east, and the northern outlook, which commands a good part of the city, make the room a very desirable one. The rooms for the wraps and umbrellas

have only half walls between them and the halls This is to allow the passage of light to the corridors, which would otherwise be dark.- In these cloak' rooms there are numerous hooks placed under a shelf, the latter to hold baskets, boxes or anything else that will not hang. In the center of the room is a long copper-lined box with a wrought-iron frame to hold umbrellas. In the halls are drinking fountains, always ninning, and with a filter, which is cleansed each morning, thus supplying water which is as pure as it can be. SCHOOL FOR COOKING. One of the great needs , of this day Is for Intelligent preparation of food for family consumption. There are hundreds of families who have plenty of the proper ingredients, but who do not know how to put them together to make them fit to eat. It has been said there would not be so great a need of temperance and religious teachers if the American, women knew better the art of cookery. One of the advantages of the Industrial Training School is having cooking and sewing departments. The cooking room has a model dining room and kitchen. For the former there is a square, polished oak table, a china closet, a buffet or sideboard, chairs and .a complete set of decorated china. For the kitchen there is a huge range, with a hood to carry off the heat and fumes of cooking, a sink, boiler, hot and cold water, and every possible utensil for cooking and for keeping them in order. Such shining rows of pots, pans, kettles, sifters, toasters, broilers, beaters, in short, everything needed in the household. The pupils who enter this department are not only taught how to cook, but also of the value of foods; how much water there is in an egg, how much nourishment in different starch foods, and a hundred other things. Miss Miry C. Comstock is the teacher in the department, and the pupils are an interested lot of cooks. The best way to set a table and the best way to serve it, as well as the best way to keep every article connected with it, are essential points of the course. On the same floor with the cooking department there is a dressing room. Each girl has a locker where she may place her kitchen dress or apron or any other articles when not in use. There are numerous bowls with hot and cold water, and mirrors where she may make herself once more presentable after leaving the work of the kitchen. Not that there is any lack of neatness there, but the girl3 do not wear the same garb as cook that she does when ir. the literary department. Miss Comstock is also the instructor for the sewing department. The girls are taught the value of materials, how to cut garments and put them together, and how to sew; all kinds cf sewing, from plain seam to buttonholes. Both departments are taught theoretically and practically, so that there is no reason why a girl who has finished the course in either should not be able to take the place of a teacher. ' . Down flights of stairs, past pupils who are again changing class rooms one comes to the wood-working department. Here the boys are in the majority, boys with their coats off and their suits covered with great big blue and white ticking aprons. Bench work is the special study. With plane and saw, measure and square the boys are making various pieces of wood work, and making them well. It is said that the pupils take so naturally to the work that they do good work even the first lesson. Joints and angles that would be a credit to a professional are made. Mr. William H. Bass is boss carpenter and the boys enjoy his instruction as much as if it was so much play. There is a relaxation from the school room which makes the wood-working department a pleasure ground. - There are lockers for the boys near this room, where they may leave their clothes, exchanging them for aprons. In the basement of the great building is the forging room. Each boy has his ore, his flue to carry off the smoke, his shovel and coal. His sleeves are rolled up and his trousers are protected from the flying Iron by thick leather aprons. Just at the right of each furnace is an anvil. Prof. James Yule teaches the boys the art of iron and steel forging. The first work the boys are given is to beat a rough bar of steel into shape. This is made into a long eight-sided bar and many a pretty piece of work is done by the boys. Another one may make angles at either end. The furnaces are kept going by means of a draught from below. The boys make hook staples, bars and various things. This is only the beginning of the work, and as yet there are no advance classes. When the boys progress in their work they will be taught how to make all kinds of iron and steel tools, how to temper steel and have a good and valuable working knowledge of all kinds of such labor. There is at present only one engine to run the departments, but others are to be put in as needed till there will be five. The merry jingle on the anvil, the blow of the fires, the swinging of the hammers and the hard, earnest, strong work, with brain and muscle make a sight and sound good for eyes and ears. Even if the pupils should never have to do the work, they will have a resource and will know how such work should be done if they have occasion to call in others to perform it for them. The use of the hammers and mallets make sore muscles at first, but there is an increase in health and appetite almost immediately. . THE DIFFERENT COURSES. There are four courses of four years euch in the school. Part of the studies are necessary to complete the course and others are elective. There is one in mechanical arts, which includes English algebra, free-' hand drawing, woodworking, mechanical drawing, iron and. steel forging, plane geometry, physics, modeling and wood carving, pattern work and machine fitting. This course lead3 to the occupations of the draughtsman, foreman, manager or superintendent of construction. The four years' art course includes English, algebra, civil government, plane and solid geometry, Latin or German, trigonometry, chemistry, modeling in clay, descriptive geometry, wood carving. English literature, physics. The course in domestic art is three years. English, algebra, civil government. .cooking, sewing, freehand drawing, chemistry, botany, hygiene, home nursing, bookkeeping, modeling, wood carving are the branches taught. A two years' business course includes English, arithmetic, algebra, commercial law, penmanship, stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping, business practice, technical reporting and transcribing. The instructors not heretofore mentioned are Miss Violet A. Demree, who instructs in English: Miss Beatrice S. Foy, English and arithmetic; Mr. William F. Harding (who takes Miss Kate A. Thompson's place on account of her illness), civil government; Prof. Paul H. Grumann, Latin: Prof. William L. McMillan. English: Prof. Elmer E. Bryan, geometry and algebra; Prof. A. J. Griffith, English; Prof. F. L. Jones, English; Miss Henri Ingersoll. algebra: Prof. It. G. Sturm, German; Miss Kate Wentz, algebra and geometry, and Miss Anna Taylor, stenography. Mr. C. E. Emmerich is principal of the school and Mr. F. L. Emory director of the chemical department. The pupils of this school issue a. publication six times a year. It is "Mind and Hand." It is edited entirely by the pupils, and is to show the advancement of education. The numbers issued are very creditable. The board of managers is Egmont Sander, president; Myrta Hbbert, secretary; Ieslif Clancy, treasurer; Bertha Hixson, Allan Vestal. Harry Jacobs, Merta. Milam, Charles Seitz. Minnie Buehler. Alice Shawler. The editorial staff includes Emily Helming, editor; Charles W. Boaz. William Stelnhaeen and Katie Pearce, assistant editors. The March number of the magazine defines manual training thus: "A manual training school does not stop with the training of the hand. Physical dexterity is4 but one and the least of the many things sought, and this is sought more as a means than an end. The great end is edu-cation-c-the simultaneous culture of the intellectual, physical and moral faculties." Two Dares. Washington Post. Within an hour after the recent heated debate between Messrs.

Representative Tarsney said to Colonel Hatch: , , "By the way, I very nearly had a row to-day. "You d'd?" asked Mr. Hatch. "Yes." said Tsrsnry. "I was standing at the telegraph office in the corridor writing a dispatch, .when a rn;in approached and abused me shamefully." "What did he say?" "Called me a linr," exclaimed Tarsney, frowning ominously. "Called von a liar," said Hatch, his eyes blazing. "What dkl you do?" "I hook inv finger in 'his face." said Mr. Tarsney, "and told him he would not dare to repeat that remark to me on the floor of the House." Jewel at Pleasure. New York Commercial Advertiser.

Nicoll THE TAILOR A WAR-TIME EXPERIENCE. An Old Soldier Recounts a. Visit to This City ir 18G2. At a reunion of the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry in Pittsburg, Pa., lastSeptermer, a letter was read from a former member of the regiment, Rev Dr. Charles B. Newton, a missionary In India, in which reference is made to an experience h had in Indianapolis as , his regiment passed through this city on Its way South In November, 1862. The comrade Sharp, to whom he refers, is now Rev. Dr. J. H. Sharp, of Philadelphia, Both were private soldiers. The letter was lengthy, but the following is the part with local interest: "As our train was entering the depot at Indianapolis en route for Louisville, and the Army of the Cumberland, near midnight, it being uncertain whether we would go at 6 in ' the morWng or spend the day there, I determined' to get out and see the town, in company' with comrade Sharp. We - were, accordingly, out and off before they had time to post the guards. The plan Was. first of all, to make a. call. We didn't know a soul in the place, it is true, but there was a man there named Dr. Theophilus Parvin, whose friends in Arlington, Pa., were my friends, and whose sister 1 had known out here In India as a boy. Eo I said I was sure he would be glad to see us, especially as doctors were used to being called up in the middle of the night and didn't mind it. - . ' . "We found a hotel near the depot, got a look at a directory, begged a bit of candle and a few matches an proceeded to run down the Doctor. An obliging darkey belonging to the hotel directed us to the street we wanted and then, lighting our candle, we read the numbers on the doors and worked along 'till we struck the right one and then : we rang the door bell, long and loud. The Doctor no doubt thought the case urgent and came down as soon as he could He received us with amazing courtesy, considering the hour, 1 a. m., and the circumstances. He took us Into the drawing room and conversed affably for half an hour or more, apologized for his wife's not coming down to entertain us and gave us a cordial invitation to dine with them the next day. It was against our principles to decline an Invitation to dinner in those da-s and we accepted it on condition our regiment remained through the day. . , , "Having shaken hands with our friend we started off to see the town. There wasn't much to see in the dark, but we saw what we could and used up the rest of the candle and matches, after which we stumbled on the Statehouse. "There was a large open entrance and a long hall dimly lighted by a solitary gas burner in the distant interior. We reconnoitered and found a watchman lazily pacing up and down in front of the building. He had a pretty long beat, and when he had passed the door and got some distance off we slipped in behind him and ran for the center of the hall, where there was another hall running crosswise and a stairwav. tTp this stairway we went and soon fmind the Senate chamber. As it was dark ltiside we determined to light the gas, but, aia.s, there were no matches left. There was that gaslight below, but it was too high to be reached from the floor. The situation seemed a little uncertain for a moment, but we belonged to the Anderson Cavalry and were not to be beaten easily. So we made a lot of long lamp lighters out of a newspaper. Comrade Sharp planted himself firmly under the gas jet. I climbed up and stood on his shoulders and lit one of tho twisted papers. Then ascending to the Senate chamber, we lighted several gas burners, got the place looking cheerful and proceeded to hold a session of the Legislature. Sharp took the Speaker's chair while I made a speech on the conduct of the war. After that I took the chair while he made a speech. "After the lapse of thirty-two years I will not undertake to give you a verbatim report of those speeches, but I can guarantee their political orthodoxy and patriotic flavor, being quite sure, without remembering it, trtat we accepted the basis of fact that John Brown's soul was marching on, and built thereon the superstructure of a mightv resolve to "hang Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree." Having enjoyed ourselves as long as we desired in this dignified manner, we finally put out the lights, slipped out past our sleepy watchman and got back to the depot about daybreak, to find the regiment had gone off to the Soldiers' Home, where we followed in time to get some of the chickory coffee which we had for breakfast. In due time, finding the regiment was going to stay till evening, we dressed for dinner; 1. e.. washed 'our faces and polished our boots up to the knees, etc. "We were royally entertained by Dr. and Mrs. Parvin, and afterwards Inspected the town bv daylight. The only drawback to our happiness was that we felt sorry for the comrades who were patrolling the streets and trying to catch us. But every time thev said 'half it seemed as if they said 'bolt, and we bolted." Next Tuesday Music given away at Wulschner & Son's. See their ad in this paper.
