The Expense OF Foul Weather.

ne DthSt oA Obh W SGIICE-
Youths Companion.
How many persons have reflected
upon the expense which changes of wealth
er in the civilized temperature zone oc-
casion? To say nothing of the ruin of
fine clothing by sudden showers, let us
consider what a cost is inflicted upon the
community by unpleasant weather
which is foreseen.
An umbrella lasts, in respectable
condition through a certain number of
rainy days, according to its quality. Let
us take 100 rainy days as an average.
Let us also suppose, for guess, that on
a day which is rainy all over the coun-
try, 1000, coo umbrellas are brought into
use.
Then each of these umbrellas has lost
per cent, say cents, of its original
value, and in the aggregate the umbrel-
las used are not worth so much by S20,-
600 at night as they were in the morning.
These amounts are mere guesses, but
they serve to show the principle.

CHRONIC KIcKERs.

Nv hat fools We mortals be-" William of
Avon-Shskespear-has given 20 Us many
truthful, as we'll as beautiful and wonderful
proverbs, sayings and sentiments, none Of
which perhaps is more literally true than
the one quoted above.
We are full of self concet and egotism,
yet the most prejudiced and dullest Of US
must realize at times that We are not what
we desire and crave to be, that we are weak
and fiimsy creatures at best and even the
man with the hide of rhinocerous has il
pierced enthusiastically by the brilliant
and convincing idea that he is fool, or, to
draw it mild, crank.
There are great variety Of cranks upon
this mundane sphere of ours, not the
least unreasonable and aggravating of which
is the one who is constantly making odious
comparisons between his former home or
his country and his present place of resi-
dence. We welcome all good people to
in her youth, really great state. We are
glad to see them come and we make special
efforts to make them feel that they are
among good, genial, warm-hearted friends.
We give imperative and unqualified instruc-
tons and orders to the weather clerk to tenn

weather aud jeer about 'sunny Kansas, -
makes US not only tired, but puts Us upon
our mettle.
Let Us make few comparisons and see il
we truly and literally hav'nt had sunny
Kansas from that standpoint all the winter
and especially of late. The lowest point to
which the mercury has here fallen during
the entire winter was somewhere from 6 TO

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

In addition to their contributions TO the
several charitable funds of the city the
members of the NJ. +. church have, through
their own special committees and collections,
raised fully 800 TO aid in the necessitous
cases, and during the pas; week clothing for
twelve men WAS gathered up by two Of the
brethren and given to those in most urgent
need of the same. Without Dragging, it is
but due TO the people Of Wichita TO say that
probably the people Of no city in this state
has made such genuine and successful eff
forts or did so much for the relief of the
poor. Besides the special public efforts
everybody almos; have contributed in n
personal way, and this report from the
Methodist society, which We know TO be
reliable, indicates how prodical has been the
charity of the churches

KEEP YOUR SOULS ON TOP.

Within a fortnight several communica-
tons have been received taking issue with
the editor of the EAGLE touching senti-
ments advanced by him in behalf Of Chris
tianity, tine Sabbath and God. These letters
have not been honored with space in our
columns and will not be. To the authors,
two of whom reside outside Of this city, We,
in all kinduess say, keep your souls on top
That very power employed by you to com
bat the idea of immortality is not itself NOR
tai, but an attribute of the eternal axd d.
vine, the ego whose pOtentialities sweep be-
yond the seed and growth of all that Is mere
material. however evolved. Despite the
fact that you employ these attributes in an
effort of decentralization, they persist IN
standing out in a hope here, and an aspIra-
ton now, for loves and fruitions, with which
this life has never crowned any man,nor ever
can. Define for us that single attribute OF
the man, that which springs eternal, hope
before you ask US to consent
to become the uneasy worm OF
an hour When or how or whence or
where or from what springs these aspirations
of the soul, of the man, of the ego? Why
should that within ever be forced to starve
over earth's insufficient feast of this earth
be all? All things here gain their full ma
| turity and repleteness save the soul of man
| in It's eternal longings and illimitable posi-
bilities. We are not here to heap up dust
from year to year only in the end to be re-
solved, ourselves, into dust. Such a thought
does violence to the unique completeness
and adaptability of everything about Us. 1t
is the immortal within us that makes the
soul recoil back on itself at the suggestion
of annihilation If this earth were all, then
nature has wronged herself in producing
that which she herself cannot perfect, in
implanting capacities which she has no
means of power of satisfying. These gen.
tlemen, one of whom writes from an atheis-
tic stand. another from Bob Ingersol view,
and another as an agnostic, may be all kind
and good individually, but we have no anx-
iety to live in a country whose whole people
should believe that this life is all. No,
give Us the civilization of christianity, its
churches, its schools, its charities, IFS Sunday
worship, it good will TO man, with all the
mistakes its adherents have made, rather
than that Of any people or of any time Of
which history makes record.

WICHITA SCHOOL NOTES.

To to the Editor Of the Eagle
Miss Jennie Fay, teacher of the seventh
grade, is spending Sunday with her parents
near Baineviile.
Several of our teachers are interested in
the real estate and loan business. 1t is re-
ported that one of them called at II real es-
tate and land Office last week and secured
the necessary funds for the erection of Il
house Two Others are rusticating on their
claims, twelve miles northwest of kingman.
Several have signiied their intention to To-
cate claims during the summer vacatisn. 1t
is also runored that one or two of them
viii emigrate to the state of mat rimony in
the near future.
Somebody reported that the roads in the
country had already become smooth and
that buggy riding could now be INDUCED
in with some degree of comfort. 1t is also
said that Mr.. Moser, the great fruit man,
keeps a good supply of fruit, cider and
homemade wine, of which his guests are
cordially invited to partake. Two Of the
Wichita teachers will vouch for the
truth of the latter report, but not for the
former.
The Wellington Daily Press speaks very
flvorably of the lecture on ''Schooi Govern
ment" by Superintendent Campbell at the
teachers institute held in that city last Sat
urday.

UNCLE TOM.
The .'Boston Double Uncle Toms Cabin
Company" gave this old and popular piece
last night at the opera house to large and
well pleased audience. Uncle Tom has been
here so often that il is necessarily pretty
badly worn, but it must be said in Justice
to the Boston organization that their com
pany, accessories and new features, made it
the best performance of the old slave play
that has perhaps, ever been given in the
city. The little "Eyas" were fayorites
"Topsy'' was good and the steamboat race
was novel and pretty feature. Taken all
in all, the audience evinced more enthu-
siasm and satisfaction than could reason
ably be expected from the piece, and it is
due alone to the fact that the company is
a powerful and really fist-class one that
such was the case.

A LIVELY RUN.

Prof Abbott's poney, attached to a bug
", got loose in the north part of Topeka
avenue yesternoon and started down town
on the dead run. He made that buggy hum
and steered clear Of everything until he
crossed Douglas avenue. Just opposite the
old mill Il farmers wagon stood, and the
buggy ran smash against the wagon and
stove it up from stem to stern-the top was
broken OFF and the fills smashed into smith
Greens, but here the motive power halted
and the racket ended. The pony came out
all right, but the buggy was an interesting
spectacle
