tournament, of the Eagle rifles, in organ
izing and conducting a military parade.
and of the Wichita Gun Club, in organic
ing shooting tournament, all to come of
during the fair week in commemoration of
the birth year of the city of Wichita, it be-
ing eighteen years ago this spring since
she was laid out and plated.
The president of the association. Hon.
VIM Grieffenstein, and the first vice-pres-
dent. Mr.. n. A. English. being among the
original founders of Wichita, deem this
the proper action to be taken at that time.
Their close alliance with almost all the
enterprises of Wichita from its earliest
history makes it no wonder that they ask
the citizens of Wichita, with their different
societies and organizations, to unite in one
grand carnival of organized display to eel
citrate the birth year of the city of Wichita.
The names of these gentlemen have been
connected with the fair business of this
city from the time the first fair was organ
lied here. They now lead off in the new
organization of the Wichita Exposition
and Interstate Fair Association and are
securing the hearty cooperation of the
business men of the city. The board of
trade have Endorsed their enterprise and
the association is pushing the work upon
the grounds as fast as the weather will
permit.
che secretary receives letters daily from
manufacturing establishments in different
parts of the United States, asking if our
exposition buildings are ready for the re-
ception of mechanical display. They
therefore feel the necessity of pushing
their buildings as well as their race tracks
to completion. Their program purses for
the spring meeting will be issued at once
They have in their Office bird's-eye view
of the new exposition grounds, neatly exc
cuted by Dumont and Hayward, the asso-
cations architects. They also have the
plans and specifications for the track and
fence, which were made by Bayle and
Battle, the associations civil engineers.
Parties desiring to bid upon the grading
of the track and building the fence can see
the plans and specifications at the associa-
tons Office, rear of the board of trade
rooms in this city.
The directors feel greatly encouraged in
their enterprise, being met with encourag-
ing expressions from all sides and hope to
supply Wichita and Sedgwick couny with
a much needed successful exposition: and

BETTER THAN EXPECTED.

J. A. Read and Chas. H. Oonk, of Xenia,
Ohio, have been in the city for several
days looking after some personal interests
and making some comparative estimates
for the future based upon the past. They
have kept pretty well advised of the 60
ings-on in the city through the EAGLE, hut
We're not prepared to see the progress made
during the past year. They are thorough
ly confident of the future, particularly for
1855, for growth and development of the
city in every respect. We learned these
estimates from Messrs Read & Oonk, who
paid the EAGLE a pleasant call yesterday
on the eve of their departure for their
Buckeye home.

THE GIRL THAT'S KIND.

TO INQCIEfNG L.
Why seek SO hard enquiring L,
The girl that's kind and true?
The one that nigh defines so well,
Has long been seeking you.
You pass me almost every day,
As you go up the street:
And yet you have the face to say,
That me you never meet.
If genius, biruhright laughing eyes,
Wealth or grace or motion"
Are not the things to catch your eyes.
You're of an easy notion.
Why her you seek each day you pass,
I'm dressed in blue you'll find;
I'm just common simple lass.
But, Oh, I'm bushels kind
Next time meet you on the street,
To speak I'll be inclined;
The girl to make your life complete,
That's, Oh. just bushels kind"

Value Of Fruits.
Journal of Health.

Journal of Health.
A word on the subject of fruit, the
season for which is at hand. Good
ripefruit forms pleasing and refresh
ing kind of food and eaten moderate
ly, is influential in promoting bodily
health by contributing some of the
materials of the :blood, of import
ance to the general vigor
of the constitution. Herodo-
tus attributes the activity and health
mess of the Persian race to the variety
of fruits and vegetables consumed by
them. Chambers says that he feels
sure that the punniness, infertility,
palor, fetid breath and bad teeth
which distinguish some of our town
populations, are to great extent due
to their inability to get these articles
for the table fresh. For the unhealthy
state induced by a restricted diet of
dried and salted provisions, fresh
fruits or their preserved juices are
specially efficacieus. Fruits, eaten
beyond the limits of moderation, are
liable to prove injurious and excite
intestinal arrangement. They are
more of a disturbing element il eaten
either in the unripe or over-ripe state;
inthe former case, from the excessive
quantity ofthe acid present ; in the
latter, from the tendency to decom-
pose while being acted upon by the di-
gestive organs. Authors have essen
TALLY differed in the proper time of
the day for taking fruits. Some
have stated that they may be treated
as mere luXuries, and eaten at any
and all times. Others say that the
safest time is in the morning or in
the afternoon, with stale bread and
draught of water. Thus may be
made very wholesome and digesti-
BILE lunch. Fruit may properly form
a part of the morning meal, and
should be eaten first. AT that time
an orange, a pear or a few grapes will
not only be well borne, but will pro-
mote a healthy action of the digestive
organs, and often correct intestinal
irregularities. The worst time to
eat fruit is after a hearty dinner; mel
ons and other cold, watery products
are not only tax upon the stomach,
but also retard the digestion of other
food with which they may be min
gled.

In Praise of Women.
st. Louis Globe.Democrat.

st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Among the very pretty things said
of women Whittier has given us this:
eff woman lost us Eden, such as she
alone restores it," Voltaire said: sit
is woman who teaches us response,
civility and dignity" Ruskin says
great many fine things of women.
Shakespeare has no heroes he has
only heroines." This is always true
in a ruder, earlier stage of society.
Woman always begins civilization.
The honor of woman has always
been the cornerstone in building So
cially. A race lacking respect forwo-
man has never advanced politically
and socially, or has speedily decayed.
Lessing said: "Nature meant to
make woman its masterpiece"
Confucius, 1900 years ago, said: Wo-
man is the worlds masterpiece"
But Malherbe spoke the mind of all
Frenchmen when he said; "There
are only two beautiful things in the
wOrld-women and roses ; and only
two sweet things-women and
melons," This was gallant but
natural, and it gave woman her true
place as a blossom and fruit of
nature.
Concerning women and men as
equals Ruskin says: eve are foolish
and without excuse in claiming the
superiority of one sex to the other, in
truth each has what the other has
not. One completes the other, and
they are in nothing alike. The hap
piness of both depends on each ask
ing and receiving from. the other
what the other only can" Thackeray
drew this contrast: "Almost all wo-
men will givea sympathizing hear
ing to men who are in love. BE they
ever so old, they grow young again
in that conversation and renew their
own early time, Men are not quite
so generous" Noltaire said "All the
reasonings Of men are not worth one
sentiment of women" Gladstone
says: woman is the most perfect
when most womanly." DR.. Clarke
says: "Man is notsuperior towoman,
nor woman to man. The relation of
the sexes is one of equality, not Of
better and worse, or of higher and
lower. The Hottest ideal of humanity
demands that each shall be perfect in
its kind, and not to be hindered in its
best work. The lily snot inferior to
the rose, nor the oak superior to the
clover, yet the glory of the lily is one
and the glory of the oak is another
and the use of the oak is not the use
