whom / had frequently observed
playing school with the little girls,
when the weather was too bad to go
on the playground, to be teacher. She
graciously granted their request for a
battle " which lasted longer than |
would have conducted the exercise,
and had to stop it for late recess.

not keep her from crying at the I'M

She will not forget her experience as
teacher, and should she ever be called
to higher position, she will not for

After recess the girls favored us with
somsmusic-th first we had in school.
Although there was some hesitation
and more than one attempt, the tones
at last came out with degree of
strength and sweetness that showed
that the determination was there to

magazine which 1 have put into the

water into the washbowl and putting
a piece of blazing paper into the glass
tumbler and quickly inverting the
tumbler and blazing contents into the
basin of water, the water rose up in
the tumbler in such a surprising man

tumultuous avalanche upon pan and

to show symptoms of indulging in
some of the peculiar antics of an In

boys of the school gave the best ex-

overshadow that from Ireland.

trains on the B. & D. are heated by
steam, but owing to the mild winter,
there has not been sufficient test to
prove it an entire success, and while
it works admirably on runs of four or
five hours in moderate climates, it re-
mains to be seen whether steam will
succeed stoves in long runs of twenty
four hours in cold climates. Thus far,
however, the company has had no
complaints.

ABOUT PAVING MATERIAL.

To the Editor of the Eagle
AS visitor in Wichita and a disinter-
ested witness of the agitation of the paw
ing question, yet as one interested in pro-
perty in both city and country | would
respectfully suggest that yitrifed brick as
a paving material is not receiving the con-
sideration it deserves. If beauty, noise
lessness, cheapness and durability are the
qualities desired, it strikes me as strange
that more information is not sought for in
this direction, especially as the means of
procuring such information is so near at
hand.
Burlington, Ia, Galesburg, Bloomington
and Decatur, H., are largely paved with
this material and visit to either of these
points by those interested, and a very little
investigation of the facts ought to deter
mine the question Especially in view of
the other important fact that vitri1ied
brick, equal to any used in those cities, are
or can De made here, as I am informed.
a simple calculation as to the cost of
paving the two streets contemplated.
Market and Main, emphasizes the point Of
economy.
1t is now proposed to pave about 10000
square yards on both streets which at 3 90
per square yard for asphalt and stone gives
total of $4,000 Paved with brick at
$1.75 gives Sl22, 800, SAYING to the city of
So, 500
This is a sum worth considering, espec-
tally as the material in question is in all
respects equal and IN many superior to
either Of the others.
In the halt that is now called would it
not be good idea to have this investiga-
ton NADER
