THE NEST IN THE WIND.

Now that the trees on the hill are bare
Against the blue of the wind-swept sky,
You can see the nest that hangs by hair
Unhurt of the gale as it whistles by.
Look how lightly it rocks and swings
The sudden tiutter that strips rose
Might snap its hold; yet it swings and clings
In the widest westerly wind that blows.
Many blast from the north and west
Hurtles over this hilltop bleak,
But airily rocks the empty nest,
No matter how tiercely the storm-hends
shrek;
Rocks and cings by some frail device,
While the mighty river that lies below
Is bound. resistless, in chains of ice
And the mountains are buried deep in
snow.
Eve rubbed out picture time and again
(AS lovely a picture as eye could see
Done all in white on my windOw-panel,N
Just for the sake of that nest in the tree.
For many a night when the wind was so
81 q strong
20 Thar it rocked the beds where the children
1 thought-but again and again thought
That now, without doubt, it was blown
away.
so to see what had happened while 1 was
asleep,
would breathe on the frost-work fairly
fine
And spoil for a clear space where to peep
The whole of the fanciful, frail design.
Palm-tree and pine and fern would grow
On the glass again, the next frosty night;
But to see the nest swinging to and fro
In the teeth of the wind, was rarer sight!
And rarer yet is the sight when spring
Calls from afar her wandering throng
OF the CHANGING eye and the restless wing,
And the throat that thrills with delicious
song.
For then the nest is alive again
With its chirping, t1utterng feathered
brood,
And you understand it was not in vain
That it weathered the wintry solitude.

DAMP HOUSES.
Manner in Which Damp Is Sure to Affect
Engravings.

Manner in Which Damp Is Sure to Affect
Engravings.
If the reader has ever lived in a
house that is even moderately damp,
he can hardly have failed to notice that
thesboards behind framed engravings
swell and bulge out, which is the result
of an increase in the bulk and area of
the boards exactly proportionate to the
quantity of water they have absorbed.
When there is sufficient supply of
water, certain fungoid growths will
begin on the surface of the print under
the glass, exactly like the growth of
plants from the damp earth in a garden
or conservatory. If there is iron
in the paper here and there
(Which often happens) there will
be spots of oxide of iron, or what
we call rust, to give pleasing
variety of colors, and if one of them
happens to occur on a face, it must of
course add greatly toits charm. Wood
en- backings are safer; and | have seen
room where the engravings with
mill-board behind them were all more
or less spoiled by damp, while large
engraving with thick wooden back
ing was entirely uninjured. Neverthe-
less, would rather not trust to deal
boards, as it is well known that deal is
very absorbent of moisture. | remem-
Der having heavy block of deal dead

One of the passengers on the
Katahdin on her recent memorable
trip was Massachusetts doctor who
had made specially of a remedy for
seasickness, which he has recommended
very frequently to his friends, and in
the efficacy of which he had the most
unlimited confidence. The Massa-
achusetts doctor uses that remedy no
more. As the steamer went into Ports
mouth harbor he came on deck, and in
sorrowful tone of voice spake thus to
one of the officers: 'lf ever take any

Poultry House Suggestions.

Iwould suggest that parties in the
poultry industry floor their chicken
quarters with a two-inch coat of con-
crete four to six parts sharp sand to
one of water lime; roof with ! seasoned
boards, plate to plate, over ridge pole
or joist one foot or more higher than
plate. A ditch the width and depth Of
spade blade around the outside would
insure dry floor Studding sides and
ends, with the foot on brick or flat
stone in the bottom of such trench, to
be filled with concrete, five gravel
and coarse sand to one of white lime,
embracing the studding; sills would
not be required. The concrete can be
carried up above the ground surface by
lacking boards to in and outside of
studding, and were l building for my
self, would continue the concrete. 1t
would make good rest for the plate.
Studding might be one-inch boards,
forming sides to door and window
frames. Cor. Ohio Farmer.

AN IMPORTANT VISITOR.

Hon. Henry Apthorp, commissioner of rail
roads and telegraphs of Columbus, Ohio,
who has been spending some days in going
over our Kansas roads and studying the OF
perations of the traffic system from western
basis, made us call yesterday in company
with Hon. G. w. Clement. Mr.. Apthorp's
opinion Of the railway center Of Kansas as
expressed to us was very flattering one. He
said that he agreed with the EAGLE fully in
its position that Wichita is undoubted com
ming commercial city of great importance, and
that with the completion of the railroads al
ready arranged for, there would be nothing
farther needed in the way of transportation
facilities to insure the lowest possible rates
that the iveliest competition could afford,
while all the territory in any way tributary
to this center will have been reached. When
we told him that Wichita was not only the
greatest business emporium in the state today
but that her people had every confidence that
within five years her population would be
from fifty to one hundred thousand he an
swered that he hadn't been in the town but a
few hours before he felt impressed with the
possibilities and wonderful spirit of the place.
Commissioner 4. went to Topeka yesterday
to meet the Kansas board of railway COM

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

A serious accident happened yesterday
about o'clock near the union depot.
Mr.. J. F. Fordyce, a young farmer living
several miles east of the city, was with his
wife returning home from attendance upon
the Teachers institute He was driving a
spirited young horse to single covered
buggy. Although he was exercising the
greatest care in the management of the ami
NAL, yet when about to turn from Fifth
avenue to Oak street and cross the railroad
track his horse became frightened at an en-
CINE passing. commenced backing, then
started plunging and kicking toward the de-
pot, but meeting some obstruction turned
quickly to the rigl t, upsetting the buggy
and throwing out Mr.. and Mrs. Fordyce.
They were dragged for some distance, but
fortunately the shaft broke and the horse freed
from the buggy started for home but was
captured several blocks east. A number of
persons witnessed the runaway and expected
to see both occupants of the carriage killed.
They ran Immediately to the rescue, and it
was found that while Mr.. Fordyce escaped
almost unnjured, his wife was badly hurt
She was carried to the residence Of DR.. Balm,
on Fifth avenue. Dr. Mccormick was called
in consultation and it was seen that she had
received some injuries of the spine which
will compel her to keep her bed for some
time, and may, it is feared, result still more

UPSET, ETC.

Yesterday near noon a gray team belong
ing to Mr. W. p Piper, and in charge of his
son, became frightened at the corner of Cen
trail avenue and Waco street. They took east
on the avenue and many unsuccessful at
tempts were made to stop them. On arriv-
ing at Lawrence avenue they executed a
column-right and their speed was so great
that the wagon to which they were attached
upset in fine shape. The lines became fast
ened in the debris and the horses could not
go farther without breaking them, which
task was greater than they could accomplish.
They were soon unhitched and the wagon
''placed on its Wheels" A gentleman in a
carriage came near being run into as they
turned the corner

POLICE COURT.

But one case was ON the docket for his hon
or's adjudication yesterday. The offender
was John Brown, ''the same man or another
one by the same name, his honor explained,
las was up yesterday" John had been sail
ing around on West Douglas, in the vicinity
OF the Douglas Avenue hotel, trying to pilot
a considerable quantity of bug juice that he
had on deck. Some one coming in the way
Of the unsteady craft rose the wind and it
was pretty squally in that section for a time.
Policeman Clark came to the ir assistance
however, and Brown was navigated towards
the city prison. When he appeared in court
he found out that the fine imposed for such
expeditions was $40 Here. again, John was
left: for as it had taken all his money to get
the cargo he had nothing with which to pay
his revenue. SO he put up his thermometer
for the amount and left to find smoother

THAT H1GHwAY RoBBERY.

The highway robbery which was reported
to have taken place on the public street near
the Santa Fe depot last night and whereby a
man held up and compelled to fork over $500
does not, upon close investigation, appear to
pan out well. Several Of our shrewdest police
officers have given the day to this investiga-
ton, and the longer it continued the less
plausible appears the story of the robbery.
They state that they believe the man had all
Of his money invested in his business, and
that as he sold it for s65, receiving at the
time but $3.50, they don't see how he could
have been robbed of $500,

THE BIGGEST MELON IN KANSAS.

Two or three years since the EAGLE chal-
lenged the state on sixtyone pound water
melon, but yesterday, Mr.. JamesS. Waggen-
ner rolled into our sanctum, a Cuban Queen,
raised on his place, five miles south Of town
on the west side, which tipped the beam at
seventy-two pounds. He would have shipped
it east to some friends, but he couldn't get it
into the barrel he had provided, the melon
measuring four feet, nine inches one way and
four feet, two inches the other in circumfer-
ence. He had another of about the same
weight, but Of a longer shape, which just fits
flour barrel, and that he will ship on Sat
day, when he brings in another wagon
load. Such growth would be phenomenal
in any other country except in California or
the Arkansas valley
