AND 1T WAS STORMY Wealth


The weather is disposed to be quite
boisterous. On Monday, as will be seen
by our kilograms, a very severe hail
storm did great damage to the crops and
trees in Sedgwick county, and demolish-
ed most of the window glass in Wichita,
and small tornado did a good deal of
damage to buildings in Lawrence, in
Guiding the State University. Wauka-
rusa valley in Shawnee county, was also
visited by a severe hail storm, which
destroyed the wheat crop on bottom
farms for a strip about a mile wide and
number of miles long. The wheat
was beaten into the ground and ruined,
and the corn all "chawed up" but as a
heavy and much-needed rain accompa-
MED the hail, the corn crop will grow
again. Rabbits, birds and chickens
were killed in large numbers, and much
damage done to fruit trees. In Topeka
the wind was very strong, blew i'll the
south end of the North Topeka rolling
mill, and Frustrated good many fences
and trees. One man was picked up by
the wind, and carried few feet in the
air. The Commonwealth says consider
able damage is reported at Manhattan
and other points on the Kansas Pacific
railroad. A good deal of rain fell
throughout the state, however, on Mon
day, and the damage done at few places
will amount to but little compared with
the general benefit resulting from the
rain at a great many places.

cash ON HAND"

The Treasurer of the Unite d
has just issued a statement placing
the present assets of the treasury
at $3.50, 430,69O, with liabilities of
$201, 1O4, 59S, leaving him a balance
OF $685., 326,082. Included in this bal
ance he states his gold coin and bullion
to be $136,6SO, 26O; standard silver dol
lars, 500, 1S1 ,O45; fractional silver coin,
$6,S13,5S9, and silver bullion, 81, O72, 655.
This makes his silver only little more
than one-fourth the amount of his gold,
which must be so far satisfactory to
those who are anxious to know the ratio
between these two kinds of money. Also
it may be of interest to notice how little
gold is wanted when it is to be easily
had. 1t would take something over fif-
teen years TO exhaust the present supply
in the treasury, if paid out at the rate it
has been called for since the LIST of jan
uary, eCen If no more came IN.

EMERSON ON GOOD MANNERS.

TITS rule of manners to avoid eXag-
geration. A lady loses as soon as she
admires too easily and too much. In
man or woman, the face and the person
lose power when they are on the strain
to express admiration. A man makes
his inferior his superiors by heat. Why
need you who are not a gossip, talk like
a gossip, and tell eagerly what the neigh
bors and journals say? State your
opIonion without apology. The attitude
is the main point. Assure your compan-
ion that come good news or come bad,
you remain in good heart and good mind,
which is the best news you can possibly
communicate. SelfcontrOl is the rule
You have in you there noisy, sensual
savage, which you are to keep down,
and turn all his strength to beauty For
example: What seneschal and detec-
tive is laughter! 1t seems to require
several generations of education to train
squeaking or shouting habit out of a
man. Sometimes, when in almost all
expressions the Choctaw and the slave
have been worked out of him, coarse
nature still betrays itself in his contem-
tible squeals of joy. The great gain is
not to shine, not to conquer your COM
panion-then you learn nothing but con-
ceit-but to find a companion who knows
what you do not; to tilt with him and be
OverthrOwn, horse and foot, with utter
destruction of all your logic and learning.
There is a defeat that is useful. Then
you can see the real and the counterfeit,
and you will never accept the counterfeit
again. You will adopt the art of war
that has defeated you. You will ride to
battle horsed on the very logic which
you found irresistible. You will accept
the fertile truth, instead of the solemn,
customary lie. When people come to
see us, we foolishly prattle, least we be
inhospitable. But things said for con-
versation are chalk eggs. Don't say
things. What you are stands over you
the while and thunders so that l can't
hear what you say to the contrary. A
lady of my acquaintance said: 81 don't
care so much for what they say as ! do
for what makes them say it." The law
of the table Is beauty-a respect to the
common sort of all guests. Everything
is unreasonable which is private to two
or three or any other portion of the CON-
pany. Tact never violates for moment
this law; never intrudes the orders of
the house, the vices of the absent, or
tariff OF expenses, or professional pri-
vacies, as we say, we never talk shop"
before company. Lovers abstain from
careesses, and haters from insults, whilst
| they sit in one parlor with common
| friends. Would we codify the laws that
should reign in households, and whose
daily transgressiOn annoys and mortifies
US, and degrades our household life, we
must learn to adorn every day with sac
rifices. Good manners are made up of
petty sacrifices.
