PRECIPITATION.

PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall this week, like that of tne
preceding, was better distributed, in time
and area, than since the week ending June
18th. But the heavy rainfall of this, unlike
that of last week, extends from northwest to
southeast, and covers the counties from jew
ell to Cherokee. In Jewell the rainfall
amounted to three inches, but, diminishing
towards the central counties, is from one to
two inches in Cloud, Ottawa, Saline and
Dickinson, two to three inches in Riley,
about an inch in Shawnee and eastern part
of Usage, four to five inches in Cofey. less
than four inches IL Allen. Bourbon and
Crawford, over four inches in Labette, and
rises to six inches in Cherokee. On the
northeast and southwest the amounts dlmln-
ish in receding from the belt.
1EMPERArURE AND SUNSHINE.
The sunshine has been about the average
over the state, while the mean temperature is
above the normal for the week in the western
third, about normal in the central, and be-
low In the eastern third.
RESULTS.
Over the larger portion of the state the
meteorological conditions have proved quite
beneficial, improving the pastures, hay, late
potatoes gardens, fruit and corn, though no
ears will be added to the last. Owing to the
dryness of the ground the streams have not
been materially affected by these soaking
rains. The most liberal response to these
rains come from the gardens. Grapes are
now ripe as far north as Brown. Pear and
early apple trees suffered very much in Cher
okee from insects during the two months
drouth, but it is believed these rains will
materially assist them.
Fall blowing is being pushed in all sec
tons except where too dry, and larger acre

Well Traine. MONKEYS and Rats.

An Italian with two remarkably we'll
trained monkeys and family of trained
white rats is coming money on the streets
of this city.
SO we'll trained are the monkeys and
rats tina at the word of command one of
the monkeys takes a rat in his arms in the
same manner n mother would hold baby.
The other monkey plays the doctor, and
not only does he look at the rat tongue,
but he pours water from bottle into n
tiny spoon aud gives Lis patient dose of
medicine.
Both monkeys dress themselves without
any ass stance from their master in com
plete suits of clothes, even to the stock
lngs and shoes, laciug up the latter and
tying the strings neatly and securely. To
prove the thoroughness of the ira ming.
the reporter was told to pick up the coat
belonging to one Of the monkeys and, I'M
observe by the animal, turn one OF the
sleeves inside out. This was done and
the coat placed back again. The monkey,
after several attempts to put the coat on,
took it entirely Off, discovered and right
ed the turned sleeve, and then angrily
chattering at being interfered with slip
ped on the garment and went on with his
part of the show. San FrdPciscO Er-

Geography of Africa.

During Mr. Stanley's recently closed
expedition he penetrated to the shores of
the Albert Nvanza forthe third time. This
visit has enabled him to determine that
there is a southern Albert lake, which he
has named Lake Albert Edward.
At first this water was supposed to be a
part of the northern lake, but that idea
had to be given up. The southern lake is
found to be nine hundred feet higher than
the northern, and is connected with this
by the River Sempliki
Mr.. Stanley skirted the snowy mountain
range referred TO in his former letters,
and found that tsends down fifty streams
to feed the Sempliki. These explorations
probably establish the true relations
which exist among the great lakes of Cen
trail Africt. They fill up large blank
on our maps, and go far toward complet-
ing the physical geography of the CONT
nent.

Ine Language OF Franee.

1t is common belief hut still an error
that French is the language of Fr nee.
1t is the language OF books and newspa
pers, but the great mass OF the people
cling TO their oil Patois. In parts OF
Brittany the priests still preach to their
congregations in Celtic dialect. The
Iberian tongue is still the idiom of the
Basques. The inhabit ,nts OF Alsaee-
Lorraine speak a dialect resembling that
of the Swsbian minnesiugers. In French
Flanders there are loc9l newspapers an [
popular books printed in Walloon and
Picard. South of tue koue the peasants
speak the verious Provencal dialects
The Provencal Mairllane and Orange has
remained the least corrupt. and Dante
once contemplated using it in his epics.
Between the Loire and Pyrenees l4,000.-
600 people use that language.

Railroad Human Nature.

Now and then one finds a person who
understands railroad human nature, as
exhibited by the gatemen IN the depots.
Their orders are to pass no one in with
ont a ticket, and it is the easiest thing in
the world for them TO wave back old age,
YOUTH beauty, and anybody else who
wants to pass in to meet friend expected
on that train. One of the surliest Off
