INDEPENDENCE DAY.

It's funny. but it's true, that Wichita,
as city, never formally celebrates indie
pendence Day. Societies, churches and
other organizations give pic mics and some
dealers in fireworks, through committees,
work up pyrotechnical displays, but
but Wichita never lays herself out, as a
city, in a celebration. In 1870 or Il a buff
falo barbecue was given out at the juno
ton of the two rivers, and in 1874 or rs
another general demonstration was at
tempted at that same spot with the editor
of the EAGLE as president of the day and
judge ". z. Campbell, orator, which oc-
casion was engineered in chief by DR.. D.
r. B. Greenlee, whom our older residents
will remember, but that was more OF pic
mic than patriotic demonstration, al
though the parade was grand, gorgeous
and funny.
Another independence day IS upon US. in
which every one will be compelled to cele-
brate according TO his own tastes and con
venience. Wichita was born city of COS
mopolitan ideas and it's hard TO regulate
her down to the standard of county seat.

THEY DIDN'T SUCCEED.

Mr.. Cassin a French gardener and dairy
man. living just out of the city, was tell
ing yesterday his experience with some
toughS in the city a few nights since. He
was walking up North Main and when
near the crossing of Second he was ap-
preached from behind by a man who
slapped him upon the back and exclaimed,
"How d do'' in broken German, at the
same time trying to clasp his hand. The
trenchman turned quickly around and
saw short distance away a
large, well-built man apparently hur-
rying to the assistance of the
man. by whom he was saluted. Seeing
the Frenchman, however, upon his guard,
they both beat as hasty retreats as posi-
bic. Mr. Cassin had upon his person $45,
and it was evidently the intention of the
two toughs to rob him of this amount,
their modus operandi being the first man
to clasp his hands and hold them while
the second went through his pockets.
Yesterday man entered the small store
went up to the proprietor and
asked if he wanted to buy
any needles. Mr.. Cassin was in
store at the time and had no sooner caught
a glimpse of the mans face than he said:
"Ze selling of re needles is not re only bus
mess Eat you do" The salesman took one
good glance at the Frenchman, left the
store in a hurry and disappeared before
a policeman could be summoned.
Mr.. Cossin said he saw the mans face
quite distinctly the night he attempted to
rob him and thus easily recognized him
when he met him again as salesman.
The other party was heard of selling
needles in the north part of the city, but
both, it is thought, have now left the city.

his spree.
Dave Messenger an all around vag, was

A wife must learn how to form her
husbands happiness; In what direction
the secret of his comfort lies; she must
not cherish his weaknesses by working
upon them, she must not rashly run
counter to his prejudices. Her motto
must be never to irritate. She must
study never to draw largely upon the
small stock of patience in mans ma
-ture; nor to increase his obstinaey by
trying to drive him; never, if possible,
to have scenes. I doubt very much if
a real quarrel, even if made up, does
not loosen the bond between man and
wife, and some times, unless the affec-
ton of both be very sincere, lastingly
If irritation does occur, a woman must
expect to hear from most men even a
| strength and vehemence of language
far more than the occasion requires
Mild as well as stern men are prone to
this exaggeration of language; let not
woman be tempted ever to say any
thing sarcastic or violent in retalia-
ton. The bitterest repentance must
needs follow such an indulgence if she
do. Men frequently forget what they
have themselves said. but seldom what
is uttered by their wives. They are
grateful, too, for forbearance in such
cases; for, whilst asserting most loudly
that they are right, they are often
conscious that they are wrong(D Give

can bestow, to the irritated feeling of

CONVERSATIONAL eoREs.

BrafnIess Individuals Who Talk Without
Expressing Thoughts.
Conversation among persons who are
very intimate should be the best con-
yersation, as no one need speak unless
he feels impelled so to do by the stir
ring of thought within; but the in
vetel.ate small-talker has lost the power
of distinguishing between the talk that
expresses thoughts and the talk that
merely articulates sounds His idea of
talking IS confined to the practice of
making conversation; even in argu-
ment he passes much time in repeating
what has been said in slightly different
words; and. when no subject is under
discussion. and when he is not gifted
with high talents. the grotesque articles
to which he is sometimes reduced woald
be absurd if they were not so irritating.
If he only talked. and said nothing
that insisted on answers, he might
more easily be forgiven; but this is
rarely his way An irritating small
talker. who. though IN reality
neither deaf nor absent-minded, eked
ont his speech by insisting on having
every thing that was said 70 him re-
peated twice, sometimes thrice. | have
known to repeat his What was that
YOU said?'' after he had answered the
remark that had been made. and when
this was pointed out to him he only
smiled the satisfied smile of the small
taIker, who thinks his sins merits, and
does not blush to own them. Sach a
sa.aH talker calls these atrocious de-
Hnquencies conversational talent, and
because it is sometimes necessary to
speak idly thinks it is good deed to
do so at all times rather than main
tain a wholesome silence. But, indeed,
others beside these obvious criminals
sin in speaking idly.
Small talk has its uses in expressing
indefinite friendliness, though even thi.
would probably be better expressed by
some inarticulate sound. If we could
only agree on one; but it should never
be forgotten that small talk-or talk o1
no consequence-is in itself of les:
than no value. and that if on all occa.
sions, except those of necessity. we put
our energies to improving our idea:
rather than to uttering words; in short
if we talked less and thought more. WI

KITCHENS N THE AIR.
Restaurants on the Top Floors of Tall
Sfralcfnres in CITIES.

Restaurants ON the Top Floors of Tall
Structures ia cities.
In order to economiZe space, and get
the greatest returns from the ground
occupied. there have been erected
down town in New York number of
very tall structures In these immense
buildings rooms are set apart in the
upper stories for restaurants. The
cooking is all done in kitchen situated
on the very top story. and the cook
instead of being immuTed in an UNDER
ground basement, can look out of the
window upon the roofs of the houses of
the greater part of the city. 1t is be-
lieved that in all the tall houses where
families live, it would be found bet er
to have the cooking on top of the build
ing rather than down below, so as to
get rid of the odors which usually come
when food is being prepared in the
kitchen. In the Union League Club of
New York the cooking is done on the
top story for this reason. In all the
leading commercial and banking
houses of New York lunch is served at
midday in room set apart for the
purpose, and the book-keepers, clerks
and other employees are not expected
to leave the building for their meals
This practice dates from a
very sensible observation OF
Lady Burdett Coutts, now
Mrs. Bartlett She Is the richest wo-
man in the world, and the owner of a
great private bank. She noticed that
( when the clerks left for their midday
/ lunch. that some of them spent more
/ time outdoors than was necessary,
/ while others came back evidently under
the influence of liquor. So she induced
her business agents to provide lunch
in the bank building. The experiment
/ proved so satisfactory that the Bank OF
/ England made the same provision, and
since then the practice has been adopt
ed in most of tie lsrge banking and
/ mercantile houses of the world o.
4 course, it is not so much for the goot
! habits of their clerks and employe:
/ that the managers of these institution:
/ care, but for the more interested reL
son that they get more work out o.
them, and nv old possible errors, due tc
the indulgence of their clerks ant
bookkeepers in strong drinks. But til,
practice is a good ono, for eating devel
ops good fellowship the world over
and directors, cashiers, clerks and of
flee boys meet on an equality at the
