A Big Thing.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
WELLINGTON, Kas., Sept IA. &. ThOmp-
son. of Iowa. has on exhibition at the court
house in this city one of EngeIs patent filth
cremators, which is an arrangement tor dis
posing of all garbage, sewage and flth OF ev-
ery kind that may accumulate about house.
The machine is quite simple in its construc-
ton. and from an exhibition given of its
workings Saturday afternoon seems to per-
form the work required of it thoroughly. 1t
consists simply of ventilated tubes from the
water closets. sinks, etc, TO an iron retort
built over fire box, and TO which, when
full. and the valve between it and the tubes
has been closed, fire is applied, the heat from
which converts the greater portion OF the
contents of the retort TO gas. This gas is
conveyed out of the retort through pipes In
the top back to the fire. where it is consumed
in its gaseous form, and greatly assisting
combustion. There is no smell from the appa-
ratus, either during the process of cremation
or at any time after cremation. After the
cremation is accomplished nothing remain in
the retort but little harmless and odoriess
charcoal.
The commissioners of Sumner county and
also of Elk county with qnite large num-
ber of other visitors were present on last Sat
urday. when the third test was made OF the
cremator in our court house, and expressed
themselves well pleased with the result, and
believe it to be just the thing for public
buildings. l0'-lt OBSERVER.

daughter of the eX-marshal was there, with
soft eyes and soft, warmly-tinted face,
very neatly dressed. After we had
been waiting half an hour, she said
that she had to drive to Mount Pleasant

her grandfather, and her daughter. as l
supposed it was, also came up and kissed
him reverently. The old man now has
four living generations about him. His

DAYS OF WOMANLY WlT.
Ahe Great. Tongued, Hard.Headed
Names of We Okden Times.

OaneS Oh We Okden Times.
The afternoon tea, says Boston letter
writer to the Detroit Free Press. was born
In France in the days OF witty women.
The hostess was a charming and clever
conversatiOnalist, one of those women of
whom Nine. Necker said: Women hold
hat place in conversation which is best
represented by those light layers of cotton
wool used in placing porcelain; if they be
taken away everything is broken" r
Such hostess gathered about her beyy
OF women as bright as herself, and to be en-
tertained by them was treat
In those days the afternoon tea had its
raiSon d'etre which no one could dispute.
But from that time till now it has degen-
Grated wofully.
How many women, young women, think
you, can talk nowadays? Not one in a
hundred. Some can talk horse, others
dogs; some know every item of society
news for weeks past, some talk theater,
some talk men, some can walk the avenue
with you and tell you the name and station
OF every man one meets. Others know all
the traps and liveries in town, and can tell
you to whom every coachman belongs.
Some women read novels and talk de-
spairingly of those; some combine all these
topics of conversation. But where, oh.
where is the woman who can talk sense
wittily for half an hour?
L am not asking too much when I saw
''wittily." l do not neon a combination
of Nine. de Stael and Sydney Smith. l
mean merely style of conversation that
draws one out sharpens 'One's wits and
makes one go to his storehouse of good
things in ostler to do ones. share. Where
are the women who are quick at s'verbal
point and parry who have that culture
which is best expressed by the phrase:
ut is nature to communicate ones self:
it is culture to receive what is commune
Gated as it is given"
