yet our aim should be to produce in
telligent readers, capable of expressing
the thoughts of our best writers. The
subject being thrown open for general
discussion additional thoughts were
brought out regarding the teachers in
fuence in enabling the youth to acquire
a taste for good literature, also in
reference to supplementary reading in
the schools. Our pupils should be so
trained in reading, speaking and in the
use of language, so that they may be
able to express correctly and elegantly
their thoughts, or the thoughts of
others, whenever occasion may require.

The Why of It.

People come to Kansas because they
want to see the state of which they
have heard so much. They stay
because they like it. They like it be-
cause there is so much about the state
that satisfies and pleases. They be-
come identified with its fortunes be-
cause it is not the law of human nature
to turn the back upon that which invites
and :then fulfills the pledge of hospi-
tality. They refuse to leave because
there is no reason why they should not
remain, and it is easier to stay than to
go. The people of Kansas love their
state because it is worthy of their de-
votion. They cling to her destinies be-
cause in so doing they are borne on the
tide of progress and prosperity. They
would not forswear allegiance to her
if they could, and they could not if they
would. -Ex.

StuccO,

Stucco is the name of new kind of
plastering, and in our opinion, it is far
superior to lime and mortar. 1t is just
being introduced into this city and the
rooms in the Pearson block. 1t is
made of stone found near Hope, Kan
sas. The stone is pulverized and
foiled and then mixed with sand, using
no hair i'll the mortar. 1t dries very
quick and hardens as hard as a rock
1t can scarcely be dented by hitting il
with hammer. The white coat car
be put on twelve hours after the brown
coat and does away with waiting fol
the plastering to dry. 1t does not cost
any more than the ordinary plastering,
and any plasterer can mix it and put it
on. The Alexander lumber company is
the first to take the agency i'll this city.
Geo. A. Jackson is the manager
of the Stucco company at
Hope, and is in the city at present in

SOME READABLE FACTS.
A Summary of the Growth and
Advantages of Kansas, and a
Few of Her Claims Upon the
Interest Of the World
At Large.

The Kansas Farmer of March 1st,
among other valuable things contains
"a splendid article upon the history of
our state which is well worth reproduc-
ing in every paper in the country. 1t
will be read with pride by Kansas peO-
and with interest by people outside of
the state. We herewith give it:
Kansas has passed the experimental
stage. Her development is Il fact her
growth is recorded in history; her pre-
eminence in all the elements of wealth
is everywhere conceded; and her con-
tinued progress is shown by the incom-
ing of three hundred and fifty thousand
new citizens, by the settlement of
twenty-three new counties embracing
an area twice as large as Massachu-
setts, and by the building of four thous-
and miles of main line railway, during
the last three years.
Kansas became State on the 29th of
January, 1851. Her history may be

Educational.

At the City Teachers Meeting, Fri

the subject of teaching map drawing.
a map of the New England States be-
ing already prepared upon the black
board, instructions were given for the
projections and the accurate location
of counties. cities, ETC., by latitude and
longitude. The superintendent and
teachers then discussed the utility OF
map drawing and the methods pro-
ducing the most satisfactory results.
Mrs. Baldwin followed in talk upon
reading believing that teachers are
wholly responsible for the reading of
their pupils. special attention should
be given to the essentials of good read

Report From Barton County.

The Kansas Farmer this week pub
fishes crop reports from one hundred
and forty eight correspondents through
out the state. All the reports agree in
stating that Kansas crops are this
spring in better shape than they have
ever been before. Not one county re-
ports any losses on account of short
ness of food, which, in connection with
the well known shortage of crops last
year, is something to wonder at. In
some of the counties cattle have been
Oh the open range all winter, and have
done well. The reports are made up
to the first of March, and all coincide
in the statement that the farmers gen.
orally are in good spirit and rapid
ly pushing their spring work.
Barton county is reported as follows:
winter was one with few storms
and none very severe; fore part very
mild; February quite mild and many
foggy, driZZly days; but little rain IN
til the 18th, when we had very fine
rain. Stock was never in as good COLI
ditiOn at this season of the year; horses
show the lack of grain but are in good
working condition.; sufficient amount of
stock feed to last until grass comes.
Increased acreage of wheat in county
looking little brown but all of it
starting nicely; was pastured close but
promises very well, better than for
years. There will be large amount of
oats planted. and many have ground
already plowed; farmers are sowing
and have made a start. but are retard-
ed by frosty nights; ground in fine COM
dition. Wheat, rye, oats, barely, corn,
millet, sorghum, potatoes, peas, ,qbeans.
garden truck, ETC., apples, plumbs and
grapes are grown successfully. Grasses
are but little sown as yet; alfalfa and
clover are doing well; no losses from
cold. Prospects of farmers were never
better; immigration good; three rail-
roads and more coming"

Sing Loud Her Praise.

No man who has lived for any length
of time in Kansas, and has become in
fused with the spirit of the country
will gainsay a word of the following,
frome the Garden City Herald:
kansas is full of beautiful women
and many of her men are not otherwise
than handsome, and the state is full OF
beautiful things. Nature appears to
better advantage in Kansas. She shines
in sunflowers, in the prairies, the tim
ber,'' the bluffs and her valleys, hills,
raVines, mounds and rivers. Natures
beauty is here supported by all the
wiles of art, and the beauties OF Kansas
are seen in her towns and cities and
homes and cultivated fields; in her mas
sive walls of corn and waiving masses
of wheat in their season. In her liber-
al ideas, her progressive spirit, her un-
daunted enterprise, her towering
majesty as a state in the Union. too,
lies this great 6mmSShfweanh's beauty,

THIS city should heed the recommen-
dation of the grand jury, and have a
lock up, or city calaboose built. The
opening of spring has started the tramps
on their rounds, and the only way to
free our city from their ravages is to
yank them up before police judge and
have heavy fine imposed upon them
and then make them work it out on the
streets. Serve few of them in this
manner and they will spread the news
that this is not the town for them to
stop at, and We'll be free of them.

THE CORSET threatens to follow the
hustle into oblivion. Many ladies are
abandoning it. In order to do this all
such things as waist bands or skirts
must go also, as part of the business of
the corset is to prevent said bands from
cutting into the body. In order to
dispense with bands frocks must be
made OH princesse foundation, so
that their weight is hung upon the
shoulders and not the hips. Many
ladies have already adopted that style
of dress, but nobody would suspect
them, as they drape and trim them to
look quite like the back breaking, mind
weakening prevailing mode.-K. c.

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble"
with which so many seem now to be
afflicted? If you will remember Il
few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown-to- day 1t
is as common rs any word III the
English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in
times past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and Malaria are
intended to cover what our grand
fathers called Biliousness, aud all
are caused by troubles that arise
from a diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func-
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreci-
ate a cure. We recommend Green s
August Flower. Its cures are mar
yelous. aug3-eow.

THE VALLEY OF DEATH.

Editors Constitution: Where is
the valley of death ? Give brief
description of it. q. r. G. q
The place known as "the valley Of
DEATH" or "the poison valley" is on
the island Of Java. 1t is the most
remarkable natural example of an at
mospbere loaded with carbonic acid
gas in existence. 1t has never been
fully explored, because Of the danger
of remaining more than few mo-
ments in its poisonous atmosphere.
1t is hollow, near the summit Of
mountain range, only to be reached
by long climb up the hillside. APP
preached through an opening be-
tween the hills it is seen to be an
oval shaped valley, about half mile
across. 1t is about thirty-five feet
deep, the bottom is hard and sandy,
without vegetation, and strewn with
many large stones. Throughout, the
surface is almost covered with the
bleaching bones of animals, tigers,
pigs, deer, and others, all kinds Of
birds, and also of human beings.
Explorers Of the valley seldom ven
ture beyond the borders, though it
has been proved that the deadly air
does not Immediately affect human
beings. This is because the carbonic
acid gas, being heavier than the at
mosphere, settles to the bottom fthe
valley. Dogs and fowls thrown into
it fall senseless instantly and die ir
few minutes. No craters or 6s-
sures are visible on the floor of this
valley, and it is thought that the
openings are near the base OF the
rocky hills surroundings.-Atldnta

LOG CABIN SUCCESS.
What ails the young men?

What ails the young men?
Robert Garrett father left his son
fortune of twenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury: he
received a splendid education with
an especial training into thorough
knowledge ofrailread management
and was expected to succeed his
father rs a railroad king. ai~e :
Within three years after the re-
sponsibilities which his fathers
death threw upon him were assumed,
he is reported broken down man,
with mind and health permanently
shattered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions OF money, who is
reported among the wrecks" His
father, bred a stone mason, was of
gigantic size and strength, with COM
mensurate brain power, so he be-
came a great contractor, then a rail
road king and lefshalf dozen mill
ions for his son to dissipate. The
young man is success as dissipa-c
tor. r.
The founders of both ofthese great
estates were born in the most humble
walks Of life, grew strong, mentally
and physically, by simple living and
honest labor and developed into fl
nancial giants. Their sous were
reared in the lap OF luxury and de-
veloped into intellectual pigmies.
The great men Of our country have
not, as rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from the
Log Cabins Of the rural districts.
Simple ways of living, freedom from
dissipation and enervating pleas
ures, simple remedies for disease,
effective and which leave no poison
in the system, develop brawny,
brainy men, who compel the world
to. recognize their strength and
power. Az
The wholesome, cld-fasliioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how to prepare the
teas and syrups of roots, herbs and
balsam,, which drive disease out OF
the system by natural methods and
have no after i'll effects. The most
potent of these old-time remedies
were, after long and searching inyes
tigation, secured by II. ii. Warner,
of safe cure fame, and are now put
out for the "healing Of the nations"
in the Warmers Log Cabin RENE

Regulate the regulator with War
ner's Log Cabin sarsaparilla and
with pure blood giving health,

you may hope to cope successfully
with the most gigantic financial
problems of the age, without wreck
ing health and manhood. e.af

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods Of ap.
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the Inherent
strength of the body suffices to en-
able it to oppose the tendency to-
ward death. Many however have
lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weak
ened Lungs will make all the differ
ence between sudden death and
many years Of useful life. Upon
the first symptom of Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well-known
remedy -Boschec,s German Syrup,
o careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
factor of any home. in l5-eow.
