Prime Minister Crispi, replying.
bismed the Commissioner of Safety for
his culpable lack of presence OF mind
He stated that he had given stringent
orders to prevent all meetings of work

warned some time ago that the present
agitation would occur either in February
or March, limiting that the socialists were
at the bottom of the trouble. Signor

Now, when you are disposed to reflect
upon that part of my conduct which affects
yourself, pray bear in mind two things,
firstly, that my grandfather left all bis
wealth to you, for the mean reason that
my father knew how to spend it; and, sec
ondly that you were so pleased at what
you TOOK for your sons submission to your
WILL that you received me with what I
must describe as foolish impetuosity, and
without the slightest compunction for the
young lady who has proved herself bet
ter man than any Of us. How / come to
know about her matters not, but confess
/ have not an idea what put her on the
track. have always found these women
too clever for me, and don't doubt that
this also is your experience.
MANY thanks for all favors. Remember
me kindly to Osmund and the young lady,
your future daughter-in-laW. Believe me,
yours very truly, LEOPOLD QUEsTIN.
And So" said Mr. Questin to Anastasia,
''you sold your little pearl necklace for the
sake of this fellow, did you? 1 only hope
you may not live to consider it the dearest
bargain you ever made"
Not long after Mr. Questin had discov-
cred to what extent his nephew Leopold
had robbed him by means of forged checks
the marriage of Osmund and Anastasia
was celebrated at the English embassy.
Six months later Osmund said to his
wife: Leopold, the scoundrel, was the
best friend l ever had. What was three
months detention, when all the time /
was but serving for my Rachael?"-LOr-

The German Boy at Leisure

The manner in which we spent our
leisure lacked freedom and independ-
ence, but it abounded in regularity
and good influences. The German
gymnasiast does not appear to be as
spirited in his plays as he might; he
is often charged with too great seri-
BUSINESS and dignity, and the criticism
is not unjust. | admit that he is, on
the whole, not as boyiike as we should
want him to be. But he is, on the
other hand, apt to be exceedingly
childlike, in the good sense of the word !;
he is, as rule, reverential and SUBJ
missive, simple and uncontaminated
by the ways of the world, with which
he has come little in contact. 1t spite
of the large amount of work he ac-
cOmpishes, he is after all pretty
hardy specimen of a boy. The one
hundred and eighth regiment, which
had enlisted the flower of the Saxon
youth from the University at Leipzig,
counting hundreds of students in its
lines, excelled by its vigorous marches
and valiant deeds in the war of 1870.
In the history of this war we read of
regiments that marched for twenty
three successive hours only to fall in
line of battle at the end of such a
march; and the students covered them
selves with glory in this campaign.
l doubt, however, whether the Ger
man gymnasiast could do the work he
does, and preserve his good health, if
it were not for the judicious DISPOSE
ton of his leisure hours, during which
he is not unduly INDUCED, but care
fully guarded in all the details of life.
Moreover, he is thus fitted to with
stand the great amount of liberty that
is bestowed upon him when he is grad
uated and enters the university.
Among the thousands of university
students, there are very few who sue
cumb to university freedom. The
habits according to which the gymnas-
last was compelled to regulate his
free hours, the self-control, the sense
of duty and love for higher aims,
which he gained not only IN the class
room, but also during his leisure, pre-
vail in the end, and. as rule, he makes
a final success of lis university course,
and becomes a youthful citizen. For
he who has learned to obey in all
things is most likely to command in
all things. QRtlc.

Clam Notes.

Soft CLAIMS, which are long and nal
row and have a dark she'll, are con.
sidered richer and more luscious than
any other species of the clam family.
In a chart prepared by Fish Com.
missioner Blackboard the comparative
nutrltlousness of ell kinds of fish
TODD is demonstrated, and the
soft clam is shown to be richer In
protein or muscle forming substance
than the round clam. and considerably
more so than the oyster. 1t is the
juice of one variety of the soft clam
that is bottled for travellars invalids.
and dyspeptics.

ing morsel. Whereupon the clam
has been found in Fulton Market with
a rats leg in its jaws, the rat having
gnawed the leg off. When caught by
the nose, however, the rat falls prize
to the watchman.
Digging for CLANS on wet seq
beach is often lively work, for clam
will dig down, if he gets a few inches
the start, as fast as you can follow
him. A good way to capture the agile
bivalve is to carry little salt in your
pocket as you walk along the beach.
and when you see CLAIMS hole put
gOod-sized pinch of salt into it. The
clam will rise to getwhat it supposes il
some clam delicacy and you can thrust
your cane in the sand across the line
of his retreat, thus outfanking him.
A bushel can be taken in short time
in this way.
The Chinese have a barbarous way
of taking CLAIMS, which often grow to
enormous size in the western Pacific
Ocean, some weighing twenty poundf
per clam, not including the shell,
which sometimes weighs over zoe
pounds. Tne Chinese fishermen watch
for these CLAIMS in clear shallow water
as they paddle along shore in flat
bottom boats, and when they see one
with shell open they ram a sharp
pointed stake into the creatures body
and lift it into the boat.

he is here at present to look after. He was
in the habit OF visiting his claim on vari-

To the Editor of the Eagle.

TO the tdltor OF the Easie
After cities have reached certain size
and of national reputation, it becomes
spurious for business houses, or indi-
yi6uals TO add the name of the state after
that of the city In their correspondence
Has not Wichita arrived at that point
where her leading business houses can do
this more generality Little, If any, harm
could result from such custom, while
positive good would follow in impressing
correspondents all oyer the United States
with the fact that we are sufficiently
metropolitan 20 feel justified in doing so.
Occasionally, of course. letters would fall
into the hands of some poor benighted
firm or individual whose edu-
cation has been so far neglected
as TO be unacquainted with our geo-raphi-
cAl location or prominence; but this would
only stimulate inquiry. II there be any
virtue in the principal OF accepting an in
dividual or city for what il claims 10 be,
until it is proven otherwise, 7 think We
may rest easy as TO the result Some of
the largest firms here are using only the
name Wichita on their headings, would it
not be q good idea 20 make this custom
more general T. II ROBINSON.

MEETING ON STREET RAILWAY MATTERS.
Some of the leading property owners on
College hill held meeting yesterday to
discuss the question of street railway ia
cilities for that part of the city. As will
be remembered, some months ago scheme
was on foot to organize company to put
in an electric line east on Second street
from Main, in the interest of property and
residents on the hill. The meeting of yes
terday was q continuation of that scheme
and took into consideration the new shut
file in street railway matters.
1t was decided to wait for an extension
of the Riverside line to come to their re-
lief. and thought arrangements of that
kind could be made.
There was considerable talk yesterday
about the street railway question and some
of those in the northeast part Of the city
were heard express themselves in most
complimentary terms of the old Wichita
q Suburban coming to their relief
nearly two years ago. At first
steam motor to Paramount from
Thirteenth street and mule power down to
the center of the city. Then a change to
electricity which gives good service to all
that part of the city and set the scheme on
foot to extend to the packing houses and
the car works. Without the original
company many of the property owners
seem to think they would have been COM
PEELED to do without railway facilities for
some time. Mr. George C. Strong, who
originated the scheme and carried it along
to completion, seems to be deserving of
great credit for his work in the matter and
remembered as Fastening rapid transit
facili ties to that pari of the city.
