injury and prehaps death one day last
week. He has a well eighty feet deep on
his place, and had couple of men at work
cleaning it out There was a break few
feet from the top and Mr.. Brown conciud-

chary about trusting the rope. The two
men manned the windlass and J. L. was
in the very act of swinging off into the
abyss when one of the men had an epiletlc
fit and dropped senseless. Another frac-
ton of minute and Brown would have
dropped TO the bottom OF the well. for the
other man could not have held him. He
still feels the cold chills run over him
when ne thinks of his narrow escape. The
break still remains unmended.

LOOK OUT FOR STORMS.

We are just now in the midstof one OF
the storm periods predicted by Prof.
Foster, the st. Joe weather prophet and
the tolerable accuracy with which his
forecasts have been verified in general
way invests his calculations for the i'm
mediate future with special interest. To
be forewarned is to be forearmed, and in
view Of the near approach Of the harvest
season, the agricultural community may
prevent some losses by taking such pre-
cautionary steps as are suggested and as
circumstances will permit. The pro-
fessor says, and it will be read with in
terest:
"The next will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about the 18th, cross the
Rocky-Allegheny valley from to 10
and reach the Atlantic coast about the
18th. This storm wave belongs to a
period of very dangerous storms
that includes all the month OF
June, more especially from the Sth to
the 23d. OF the three prin-
cipal storm waves, [ am not able to
determine at this time which will prove
to be the most disastrous, but | may be
able to give more definite information in
my next letter feel very sure, how
ever, that this storm wave of 7th to 18th
will be of unusual force, and with the
two that will follow it will constitute a
notable period of destructive storms, not
only in the United States but all around
the earth. There will be a number of
these storm periods during the year,
some of which will spend their principal
force in the United States, while others
will have greatest energy in other coun-
tries.
Readers will remember that the
greater the force in a storm wave the
less extent of country it will cover and
there is not one chance in hundred for
a very destructive storm TO strike given
locality. But the destruction of lives
and property and the damage to crops
by great hail storms, cloud bursts, ex-
Cessive rains, tornadoes and hurricanes.
such as are expected during the year,
are Of very great interest to the public.
These June storms are not expected to
be the greatest that will occnr during
the year, but they are of sufficient i'm
portance for me to call special attention
TO them and warn every person to be on
the alert about the time these storm
waves are due to cross the continent.
Il expect June and July to average
cool, but they will have a few short
periods Of excessively hot weather. The
hottest periods Will not be very far from
June l and "a. August and September
will be the hot months of the wear, and
the local months viii have their princi-
pal effect in August. October, Novem-
Der and December will average very
cool, and the greatest storms of the year !
Will occur in these months.
My predictions that the weather for |
May would be favorable to growing crops
has been verified, although the alarmists |
and spectators at one time declared that |
he crops were well nigh ruined by the |
lrouth. Hail has ruined crops in few
places, but this does not materially effect |
he general good prospects. Great storm /
-ear5 are usually good crop years, al
hough the crops of a comparative few
nay be destroyed"

Under literary topics recently was dis
cussed the subject OF association In writ

memory does not fail him. something like
this, Where does one write bestS" In con-
nection with this subject it may not Ia
amiss TO mention the case OF minister la

newspaper writer. That Is, he earned the
money 70 prepare himself Tor the ministry
by newspaper work.
He says that it would be utterly impos-
sibie for him to write a sermon, or even TO
sketch one, IN q newspaper office But he
also says that he cannot write a news para

The Silk Threads in Bank Notes.

The paper upon which bank notes are
printed is called distinctive paper" be-
cause used exclusively by the government
for the printing of bonds and notes. The
mills where it is manufactured are at Glen
Falls, Westchester county, Pa. An agent
of the treasury department receives the pa
per direct from the hands of the manu-
facturer, and every precaution is taken to
keep any Of it from being lost.
When this distinctive paper" is being
made, scraps of red silk threads are mixed
with the pulp in n big tank. The finished
material is conducted to wire cloth with
out passing through any screen which
might retain the silken threads. Next, an
arrangement above the wire cloth scatters
q shower of blue silk threads, which fall
upon the paper as it is being formed The
side upon which the blue silk is deposited
is used for the backs of notes, each thread
being so deeply embedded as to remain
permanently fixed. The smooth side of
the paper, that in which the red threads
alone are seen, is used for the front of the
note Each of these sheets are registered
as soon as fnished.-St. Louis Republic.

Nicetfes of the English Language.

Carrying out orders too literally Is some
times unpleasant, as a friend Of ours once
discovered when she told her fOotman, who
was model Of obedience, that when Mrs.
Brown and her daughter, a grown up
young lady, called, he was TO carry them
up into the drawing room. Mrs. Brown :
disnay may be imagined when. upon ask
ing for her hostess, she was caught up by
the stalwart attendant, and, despite her
remoustrances and kicking, carried safely
up stairs and deposited before his aston
ished mistress. The historian does not re-
late how the other lazy got up.
Dayidge tells a story Of q somewhat oh
fuse actor who performed the character Of

Enter Hugo, who advances to the king,

ror OF the stage manager md the amuse-
ment Of the audience, the actor advanced
70 the king, caught him by his ears, shook
the kings head vigorously. and then sank
on his knees before assaulted majesty.
Which auecdote, by the way. does not say
much for the system Of conducting re-

If the expressions of southern senators
contain the real sentiment of the peo-
pie of that section in regard 10 the nom
ination of Mr.. Cleveland as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president next year,
it would be very evident that the ex-
president is out of it. But it is so very
evident that the whole thing is a scheme
(the full object of which is as yet conjec-
turaI to those outside the ring) that it is
not worthy Of much confidence as ex-
pressing more than the sentiment Of
the individuals entertaing it. 1t has too
much Of the sound and appearance of

Discussing the London baccarat scan
dal and the Prince of Wales connection
with it the Atchison Patriot remarks that
the prince is too much of a bum to be
King of England very long. AS for the
princes designations breaking him down
and prematurely ending his career the
prediction may prove true; but as for his
being disqualified in the esteem Of his
subjects by reason of his habits and
practices, that will hardly occur. Bad
as he is, he is better than several of his
predecessors who not only tolerated but
upheld and sustained throughout their
careers

THE SEA.

A rich red radiance fills the vesten-Sky
Ere darkness comes once more;
The weary waves with cc4sesass rtss and I'D
Dash on the pebbled shore.
Tho mournful cadence Of the seethtng tide
Is silent IN mine ear.
My heart is full OF that sweet soul who died
In the wane OF yester year.
The wind sounds shriny in the hollow cave,
The sea gull shrieks hsrd by,
The surging breakers ever burst and Lave
The rocks beneath. but /
Am deaf unto wild Natures harmony.
One soft voice fills mine ears
The voice of one that shall never see
Through all the coming years.

The Kansas farmers, that is the sure
enough farmers, those who know a good
thing when they see it and have tried il.
and who have made a success at farm
ing, are the first on the real estate market
70 buy more land. a number of Sedg-
wick county farmers have added TO their
landed holdings, and others are moving
IN the same direction, upon the strength
OF present grain prospects and prices of
both grain and land. There is scarcely
a farm in the county, that has had any
thing like fair chance in cultivation
and general management, but will pro-
ouce more than enough TO pay for it.
Approaching these conditions and facts it
is not surprising that the enterprisinc.
wide awake farmer should take advan-
tage of the situation TO the betterment Of
ms condition in a material way. And
tins Is the case in many-we might say
most-of the counties in the south-can-
tral portion of the state.

A gentleman of Comanche county
sends to the EAGLE several wheat stalks,
plucked, he says in an accompanying
note, from land that can be purchased
for Sc an acre. The wheat stalks are
full four feet high and the heads four
inches long. The samples indicate a
Weld of not less than twenty-five bushels
per acre, which, at the current price Of
wheat, will pay for the land twice over
after paying all expenses. Talking
about paying investments Kansas farm
lands are among the very best.

Mrs. J. X. Hudson appears in the
Topeka Capital with "a Plea for
Motherhood in which with the hand of
a confident master and the heart of low

energies and absorbed by the aggressive
life, which an enlarged sphere has
opened up to womanhood, men and

more oblivious to the sacred demands of
motherhood and certain named circles
of society are disappearing simply
through non-reproduction, to be replaced
by the more sturdy, found principally

The now venerable Nathaniel P Banks
is represented to be in very Strengthened
circumstances, financially. His case APP
pears quite similar to that of the late
John c. Fremont. Like Fremont, Gen.
Banks has occupied exalted positions Of
homer, trust and responsibility, and, also
like the former, he never possessed the
faculty of money getting, and in his old
age, when he can be of little service to
his fellows, he is retired to make the
most-and best-of his situation and sur
roundings he can. But it is the way of
the world, and we dare say the old Bay
State veteran is too much of a philoso-
pher to utter a word of complaint.

Mr.. Lincoln is TO have the place he oc-
cupied in President Garfield's and
Arthur's enthusiastically of war. in
place of Secretary Proctor, who is to sue

saw that guess work does as well as anv
when 1t fits, but this is one Of many cases
where II will be a gross misfit. The only
change likely to take place is the last one
mentioned, but it is very doubtful that
Minister Lincoln will be recalled from
his present position, which is recognized

matte service and in some respects above
the position of secretary of war.
