A New THEORY IN REGARD TO FooD. -
A German physician has started new
theory with regard to food. He maintains
that both the vegctarians and meat eaters
are on the wrong tack. Vegetables are
not more wholesome than meat, OF meat
than vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming a compound of both. What
ever nutritivc qualities they may possess,
he says, is destroyed in great measure and
often entirely by the process of cooking.
All food should be eaten raw. If this
practice was adopted, there would be little
or no illness among human beings. They
would live their apportioned time, and
simply fade away, like animals in wild
state, from old age. Let those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism and indigestion,
try for time the effect Of n simple I'M
cooked diet, such rs oysters and fruit for
instance, and they will find all medicines
unnecessary and such rapid improve
ment of their health that they will for
swear all cooked articles of food once and
forever. Intemperance would also, it is
urged, no longer be the curse Of civilized
communities. The yearning for drink is
caused by the unnatural abstraction from
what are termed "solids" of the aqueous
element they contain-uncooked bcef, fol
example, containing from seventy to eighty
per cent, and some vegetables even u larg.
er proportion of water. There would be
less thirst, and consequently less desire tc
drink, if our food were consumed in its
natural state, without first being subjected
to the action of fire. Clothing, our adviser
also thinks, is mistake, but admits that
the world is not yet far enough advanced
in civilization to go about undrcssed
Whatever differences of opinion may cX
ist us to this anticookinS theory, there
cannot be n doubt that in getting rid of the
kitchen, with all its abuses-including the
cook housckeepers would be spared ;
vast amonnt of worry, and probably on
this account alone would live to a greater
age than at prcsent.-PaU MtU Gd2ettc.

Speaking of the dying schoolmaster,

Speaking of the dying schoolmaster,
Prof Swing says:
"Men trained in profession come by
degrees into the professions channel. and
flow only in the one direction, and always
between the same banks. The master of
a learned profession at last became its
slave. He who follows faithfully any call
ing wears at last soul of that calling's
shape. You remember the death scene OF
the poor old schoolmaster. He had assem-
bled the boys and girls in the winter
mornings, and had dismissed them winter
evenings after sundown; and had done
this for fifty long years. One winter
Monday he did not appear. Death had
struck his old and feeble pulse; but, dying,
his mind followed its beautiful but narrow
river r-bed, and his last words were: " 1t is
growing dark, the school is dismissed; let
the girls pass out first"

A lady, not accustomed to raising poul-
try, set hen on some eggs, and in due
course of time brood of chickens was
Matched. A friend, coming in four days
afterward, noticing that the little things
looked weak and puny, asked how often
they were fed. Fedw was the reply,
"why, thought the hen nursed them. ~

You've INDIANS AT SCuooL.-There is
in the national school at Hampton, Va,
some forty Indian boys. and smaller
number of girls. The intention was that
there should be an equal number of boys
and Girls, but some difficulty was found
in persuading the parents to permit the
Girls to come; first, because they wished
to have the benefit of their work at homo
second. because some OF the older Indians
were opposed to any innovation upon the
ancient ,theory that the female is an inie,
rior. One mother of very pretty child
said she would not let the little one come
to be-educated unless she could come with
her; and the reason she gave was that
otherwise the child would return to despise
her ignorant mother. Both mother and
daughter are now here at school. in the
same class, and together they are moving
rapidlv into the realms of knowledge
The desire of those who are conducting
this Indian experiment is to educate the
sexes simultaneously, so that the Indian
woman of the future shall be the equal OF
the Indian man, and shall not drag back
into barbarism the males who have been
brought out into the enlightenment OF civ
ilization. The wisdom of this proceeding
is obvious.

Give M bitches or We Die.

The attention Of our city authorities is
property north Of Central avenue and east OF
Main. Every ward in the city excepting that
portion of Fourth has been cared for, and
most of the streets in the other wards not
only ditched but graded. In the district
alluded to there is not so much as q ditch.
After heavy rains some eight or ten blocks
Of residences are left like the Constable's
fugitive, IN srampo up a stumpus, with no
chance for the occupants to get out except to
swim out. That state of affairs is not right.
Because the merchant princes, bankers and
grandees generally do not live in that quarter
il has been ignored until patience playing at
virtue has played itself out. The city engin-
Ger informed us some time since that the
whole trouble could be remedied ut a slight
cost, and we guess the time has about come
for the expenditure. A good ditch run east
along Central avenue, across the railroad,
with a ditch down each street from the
north into the first named would effectually
drain the section alluded to. Ever since the
flood of two years ago the residents of that
portion Of the city have possessed their souls
in patience and unmurmuringly borne the
sickness ard paid the doctor bills incident to
the neglect Of the authorities, but as tax
payers they are now in earnest in demanding
attention.

A Custom Criat Mill

A custom Touring mill-that is, a mill that
grinds for toll-has long been felt TO be ne
ccssity at this point a mill that would do no
merchant work whatever, but run only the
grists furnished by its customers, the grind
ing TO be paid for by the toll allowed by the
statutes of the State. Mr.. J. c. Fraker has
seen the need Of such mill, and he has, so
he informs US, succeeded in interesting per-
sonal friends In such an enterprise to the ex-
tent that they have agreed TO furnish the
| necessary means TO put up small mill cen
WINGED that it will pay full and sure returns
upon the investment. Sedgwick county farm
ers have hauled their wheat and corn to the
Butler county mills SO that they could obtain
-four and meal from their own grain. We
arc acquainted with two or three of the par
ties who are backing up Mr.. Fraker in the
enterprise, and we know they are in earnest
and have the ability. The mill will not be
large, butaef sufficient capacity to do good
work. Lots have been secured on the west
end Of Douglas avenue, between the hotel
and Elephant stables, near the big bridge,
and the mill will be built as soon as money,
backed by Mr. Fraker's well known energy
| will do it. We congratulate our farmers that
such a mill is about TO be erected Ii will not
only he good thing in the way of COMPETE
ton, but it will be conveniently located, and
they will get exactly their own.

At the last meeting OF the City Council in
passing upon the order for the payment OF
the salaries of the city officers, Mayor kohn
stated that he would accept no compensation
for his services. He donated his years salary
TO the city. In behalf of the taxpayers the
EAGLE not only acknowledges the thoughtful
action. but thanks Mr.. kohn. The truth is,
and Mr.. Kohn as a heavy taxpayer no doubt
realizes it. that under the act Incorporating
villages and towns into cities there are thou
sands of dollars paid out in the way of salaries
TO positions that are more for show than for
benefit, more ornamental than useful. There
is not over three cities in Kansas that could
not be just as safely governed and AS judi
ciously run by ordinary township officers,
as by the expensive governments at present
maintained. Wichita. among others. is pay
ing double the number Of officers necessary.
But, law is law and style is style, and the
maintenance of either costs money, and mon
cy costs sweat. therefore, in all human prob
ability shall all continue to perspire. still we
claim Kohn did the neat thing in refusing to
accept his salary.

We Have Q Map.

We have a map in our Office showing the
future Of the railroads in this section as
drawn by n disinterestcd and experienced
railroad man. We cannot give names, but
il shows the A., L. & $. +. running to Wich-
ita, with branch to Wellington and branch
TO Winfield, intcrsecting the L., l.. & g.; the
extension of the st. Louis and San Francisco
to Wichita, with an extension up the valley
| crossing the A.. r. & S. +. and tapping the
X. r.; another extension Of the same road
southwest striking the lower tier of counties
and continuing TO New Mexico the Missouri
Pacific extension through Anderson and
Woodson counties, through Eureka and Ell
dorado to Wichita, with an extension through
kingman. There is an opinion accompany
ing the map which goes on 10 say that il the
Scligman road is extended to Wichita all
these roads will be accomplished facts within
five years, and that Wichita will be a city OF
twenty thousand Inhabitants, with farming
lands in Sedgwick county worth from twenty
to one hundred dollars per acre. Wichita,
situated as she is at the intersection of the
two largest and most fertile valleys in the
State. will continue to be the metropolis OF
Southwestern Kansas.

Wichita is well represented at this modern
ophir. Several of our people are there en-
gagged in business and in prospecting. The
Richey Brothers started out a team loaded
with provisions for three months jaunt ON
Monday. James Richey has charge OF the
outfit. Luck TO them alt. and may they come
back and put up marble fronts One Of our
citizens. our worthy Sheriff. Major Dunning.
seems to have struck it rich. He, in connec-
ton with George Melville. of this city. Judge
Pendcry. Lou Goddard and Harry Gruber. of
Leavenworth. and two other gentlemen, own
the Pcndery shaft, which is on Carbonate
Hin in sight Of Leadville. The Major inform
ed Us two weeks ago that the boys had struck
il rich, but would not allow us TO say any
thing at that time in the paper about il.
Messrs. Russell 4 Furlong have an interest
in the same mine. But there is no longer
any use in trying TO keep the fact secret.
Our popular Sheriff is no doubt rich man.
He owns onc-eighth Of the mine. From the
Lcadville Ddiiy Rerilie We learn that one hun
dred and eighty feet depth the assays showed
the carbonates 10 he worth a. ounces of
silver to the ton. After going into this de-
post two and half feet another assay show
ed l4oso ounces 10 the ton. or elS.a 46 per
ton. Governor Tabor and General Bearce
| say that ii is the greatest strike ever made In
that region. and that il viii be worth millions
to Leadville. We congratulate the Major,
who doesn't seem pulled up in the least. It
is but the sentiment Of all our people that no
man is more deserving of such bonanza.
The Recille says;
| One great result of this discovery has been
q dissipate the idea OF all experts. and in
fact the prevailing opinion that but one con-
tact vein or strata of carbopsics exists. at
least on Carbonate Hill. This discovery is
one hundred and fifty feet below the contact
on which are located the Crescent. Yankee
Doodle, Carbonate and other mines. This
may be the means Of inducing Others 10 sink

orc that will eventually astonish the world.
