STRANGERS IN THE CITY,

There were quite number Of strangers
from the east and north in the city yester-
day and last nights late trains brought in
a great many more. Since the first of Sep
TENDER there have been more strangers in
the city with an eye to business than in
any corresponding period during the past
twelve months. They came for the pur-
pose of investigating Wichita's true con
dition, and in a number of instances have
brought property here. Others have gone
home to make arrangements for removing
to this city

COMING WEST.

cdr. a. NJ. Wassam retu ned yesterday
from a visit of some weeks to Pennsylya-
MIA and New York. He says the talk of
coming west to see the country and ready
to accept the facts as seen, is stronger than
he ever saw it before The financial con-
dition is such east that they are inclined
to think they can find business and more
opportunities in the direction of the setting
sun. He thinks that many thousands
more people will visit Kansas on prospect
ing tours this fall than ever before

The poor in Japan are very poor, and
live on less than any other civilized peo-
pie in the world. A few cotton clothes
do for summer and winter alike. To be
sure, the cold winds nip their bare limbs
in winter and pierce their few thick
nesses of cotton cloth, but her the sun
and the heat are quite as bad in summer,
and being philosophical before everything
else, the Japanese endure the extremes
with stoical calpness and enjoy the half
seasons the more. A matched roof, a
straw mat and q few cotton wadded
futons shelter and provide him a home,
and rice, millet, fish and seaweed consti-
tute his staples of food. With three
crops a year growing in his fields, the
poor farmer supports his family on a
patch of land forty feet square, and with
800 kinds of fish swimming around shore
the fisherman can maintain himself.
Farmers and fishermen bot, gather sea-
weed, and all the family go to the beach
when a recent storm and the right winds
drive the kelp and sea fronds in on the
sand.-Kamakura Cor. Globe-D Democrat.

Arrests In New York In 1887.

One is apt to be alarmed by seeing in
the police report for 1887 that there were
s LILO arrests in New York city during
the year. But he would be treasured by
booking at the classification of the cases
and noticing that nearly 60, 900 of that
number were arrested for such offenses
as disorderly conduct, drunkenness and
violation of the city ordinances. The
Germans, in proportion to their numbers,
show up by far the best in the report,
and, in fact, they had less than half their
quota of offenders, as compared with
the other elements of our population.
1t appears that the police had a good
deal of business with professional men,
for they arrested 100 lawyers, so doc
tors, SO editors and reporters and 10 cler-
gymen. at is men, not women, who
are your criminals" Elizabeth Cady
Stanton said in a recent speech; and this
report shows that three times more men
than women were arrested during tho
year, or, to be exact, 81, 035 men and
10, 241 women.-New York Sun.

Posing In washington,s Clothes.

An interesting incident occurred at the
Smithsonian Institute recently. This
was the photographing Of the costume
worn by Gen. Washington when he re-
signed his commission in the army to the
Continental congress at Philadelphia.
Mr.. John Noah, the son of a well known
newspaper correspondent of this city,
who is clerk of the Institution, was Sc
lected rs the subject by whom the clothes
should be worn. Mr.. Noah Is a young
man, more than six feet in height and of
splendid physique. Gen. Washington's
uniform fitted him perfectly. A paint
ing of Washington, now in possession of
the Institute, shows him to have beer not
unlike Mr.. Noah in appearance at the
lister's age,
The photograph, after Mr.. Noah had
undergone a certain preliminary fixing.
is said to be an excellent representation
of Washington at the age of "a. When
this operation had been successfully con
cluded Mr.. Noah was dressed in the uni
form IN which Gen. jackson appeared at
the battle of New Orleans, and an equally
good representation was secured. The
object of photographing the uniforms is
to preserve their appearance to future
generations after the material shall have
faded and rotted away.-Washington

Not only does the brain worker require
the aid of systematic physical exercise,
but he is also beholden to what may, for
want of q better name, be termed dis
tracing employment; by this 1 mean
such employments as have a tendency to
throw the mind into an absolutely diff
ferent channel. In this category belongs
music, from the piano sonata to the stu
pendous effects as seen in the modern
orchestra aud grand opera. The one
drawback to these amusements is the
fact that they take place at 30 late an
hour in the evening that the brain
worker is liable to get to his bed after the
midnight hour. This, Of course, is a
grave disadvantage; and 1 should there
fore recommend the ambitious brain
worker to patronize the much despised
matinee, e though he have to take his
amusement with a house full of nurses
and children.-Dr ]. Leonard Corning.

Origin of Two Noted Hymns.

Speaking of these two hymns the story
told about their origin may not be true,
but is quite in keeping with the charac-
ter of the two authors, Toplady and
Charles Wesley. They lived in the same
town, the story relates, and were warm
friends. One day, however, they quar-
relied, and for some time did not even
speak. But such earnest Christians could
not long remain in this state, and so they
began to think of a reconciliation. 1t SO
happened that they both spent the same
night in meditation and prayer over this
matter, and zach came to the conclusion
that the best way to bring about a recon-
Citation would be to write q hymn to
present to his friend. Toward morning
a white love dashed against Toplady's
window several times, and the words of
his immortal hymn Rock of Ages
came to him.
During the same night Charles Wesley
had also written a hymn which is equally
celebrated, "Jesus, Lover of My Soul"
In the morning, as they could not find
messengers to carry their messages of
amity, they set out to deliver them In per-
son.. And 8 they met on the street, and
the unhappy quarrel was healed. This
story ID, perhaps, too symmetrical and
dramatic to be entirely true, but it is one
of those things that might be true, be-
in keeping with the deep yet sim-
pie natures of the men. Such men do
not flourish in this strident, raucous,
garish age; and this explains why so few
great hymns are now written. But then
the world does not hunger for hymns
as it once did. So much the worse for
the world, perhaps.-New York Tribune.

RATHER BRISK TALK.

Col. A X. Mcclure, who is the editor
of a strong protection paper, the Phila

tective district, writes entertaininGly on
the general subject of the recent demo-
cratic nominations in St Louis.
THE platform on which Cleveland and
Thurman are presented to the county,
he says, defines industrial independence
to be the full protection Of the wages of
our labor against the cheaper labor of
Europe. That was the industrial indie
pendcnce or the protective policy devised
and adopted under Washington's admin
istration in 1871, and he aud the founders
of the protection of American industry
imposed tariff taxes of about s per cent.
The average rate of tariff duties under
Washington and Adams, when our diver
si6ed industries were literally in their in
fancy. was about II per sent.
That was fixed AS the rate of taxation to

Besides their lack of proper schooling,
the Persian children are not taught
sufficiently by their parents what is right
and good. Fathers will not only not for
bid their children to be cruel to poor cats
and dogs, or to servants and slaves, but
they will often stand by and encourage
them when torturing poor brutes or tor
menting people. They also do not teach
them TO be truthful, but on the contrary,
rather, incline them to tell lies. These
two things-cruelty and untruth-are
especially what is bad about the children

THREE KISSES OF FAREWELL.

Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and Joyous ones
We used to know,
When we kissed because we loved each other
Simply to taste loves sweets,
And lavished our kisses as summer
LAvishes heats;
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing Is left TO give except
4 sacramento!
First OF the three, my darling.
Ia sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colde
Than eye and hand
kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before 1t comes,
For our loves sake
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full of joys sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always,
We always will.
We shall reuch until we feel each other
Past nll of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth is full OF messengers
Which love sends to and fro;1
kiss thee, darling, for all Joy
Which we shall know.
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
My loye-I cannot SEQ
Through my tears, as I remember
What 1t may be.
We may die and never sec each other,
Die with no time TO give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token of what they may not see
Who see our dying breath
This one last kiss, my darling,
Seals the seal of death.

Temperature and Electric currents.

Late observers have found that the
temperature of a wire conveying electric
currents varies with the air pressures
surrounding it. A wire which remained
dull at ordinary atmospheric pressure
became incandescent in n moderate vac
uum, while on the other hand, n current
which would fuse a wire at ordinary
pressure will scarcely redden it if the
pressure is sufficiently increased.-Ar-
