Tn. Mystery Of Human Grown.

Investigations OF recent years, chiefly
among scientists of Germany, Francs. Eng
land and our own country, have gone far
toward solving the mystery of human
growth. First Of all, growth seems TO be
dependent upon the law of equilibrium In
nRture-a law universal IN extent and Illus
trated in the tendencies of gases 70 diffnse,
of liquids to seek a common level. and ex-
hibited in all chemical afanities and
changes. Much seems 70 be dependents
upon the nature Of the chemical elements,
especially of the four principal ones which
make up the body substance-the conser-
vative character OF carbon. the expansive
tendencies OF hydrogen, the explosive char
acter Of nitrogen and the equalizing char
acter of oxygen.
These four, in combination with each
other and some ten other elements, are
thought TO retain their properties the same
as when separate. The rapid permeability
of those substances Of which the animal
tissues and membranes are chiefly COM
posed by crystalloids, in which form the
food is presented for assimilation. is re-
garded as an important factor in nutrition
and growth.-New York Times.

CHILpREN.s HOME.

Please remember that this is the annual
donation day, and realize for yourselves
that it is indeed more blessed to give
than to receive" Gifts of provisions,
clothing or money will be most gratefully
received. We need blue calico, gingham,
unbleached muslin. etc, but most of all
just now, do we need money TO aid in COM
pleting the new building. The house is
now on the grounds, but we have reached
the end of our present supply of funds.
while the basement is still to be built and
many alterations and repairs made before
the house is habitable. Generous friends
have responded nobly TO our calls for help
heretofore, and we trust that today may
bring US the means for going on with the
work that our family may be settled in the
new home before winter comes.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
A large party of friends and neighbors
gathered at Jacob Stough's in Delano
township, just west of the city. on Sunday
evening last to celebrate Grandpa Stough's
eighty-second birthday. The old gentle
man was taken out for a drive late in the
afternoon, and on his return found the
house in the possession of the neighbors
and the table spread with all manner of
good things. Mr.. Slough soon took in the
situation and entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion. Notwithstanding
his 81 years, Mr. Slough is hale and strong.
walking as erect and sprightly as boy of
%. Every one seemed to enjoy the occa-
sion immensely and at late hour took
their leave, wishing him many happy re-
turns ot the occasion. Among the guests
were Mr.. Stough's three sons with their
families, Mr.. Dodge and family, Mr. aid
Mrs. Menefee. Mr. and Mrs. Richmond,
Hill, Cranfell and others. Numerous
presents were brought as tokens Of regard
from the givers. one OF THEL

The policemen and private night watches
have a great deal 10 contend with of late
about missing property, but in nearly every
case the blame can be traced TO the propri-
etors of the stores in going away and leav-
ing their show goods on the outside. Only
night before last one OF Bishops patrol
men found six bed springs in the alley
back of Daniels Bros, on East Douglas
avenue, they having forgotten to take
them in when they closed the store. Sew
eral other instances have been cited 70 the
reporters, and it would pay to be more
careful to be sure everything is right
when the stores are left

The c. E. social given on the evening ol
the 9th by the local union of this city. al

was well attended By large number oi
young people. the church being filed. both
seating and standing room. A program
consisting of vocal solos, quartettes, reci-
tations, etc, by some of the best talent OF

the audience, after which all enjoyed
themselves in social way until it was
quite late. It was decided that the next

THE CITY SCHOOLS

Announcement has been made. officially,
that the public schools of this city will be
opened next Monday, the l4th. In view
of the prevailing ailment among the
children, which does not seem TO be
sbating, and OF its highly communicable
character. both through contagion and
infection, the EAGLE suggests 70 the
school authorities the advissbility OF de-
ferring the opening OF the schools for two
weeks, or 70 the 5th Of October. OF course
this would inconvenience some, but such
inconvenience Is largely outweighed By
the question OF the health and possibly
the lives Of any number OF children.
There IS much that may be said for
and against the suggestion we make II
il were necessary or expedieut 70 discuss
the question. which il 5 not It Is quite
enough, we think, TO say that wise pre-
canton demands that the opening be de-
ferrcd As suggested An ounce Of rrevsn-
tive is worth pound Of curs-.

The various committees appointed to
make all necessary arrangements for the
celebration of German Day, Oct. 6. are
hard at work and report progress in all de-
partments. AS was the case last year,
Wichita proposes to eclipse the entire
state and the west in general in her Ger
man day celebration, an endeavor that is
quite praiseworthy and does the Germans
of Wichita much credit.

John Whitman, the man who LITE 600
pounds with bis teeth, pushed a freight Car
Weighing $4,000 pounds along switch on
North street, Baltimore. on Wednesday
morning In the presence OF about 800
people. he got between the car he was to
push and another the brakes OF which were
down. Seating himseif upon the second car,
he placed bis feet against the forward csr,
and, after taking deep breath, gave 1t one
mighty push with them. The car qulyered
sud then went forward several feet He did
this several times, but owing TO the car be-
Ing on grade he could not move 1t very far
a car weighing $500 pounds he moved
With esee. Mr.. Dunn, the yardmaster,
said tbs cars moved would take the efforts
OF at least eight ordinary men. In the
afternoon Whitman gave sn exhibition
OF his strength at the gymnasium at
the Central Police Station. He handled
huadred pound Gunb-bell as If it weighed
five pounds. Captain FsrDan and one OF his
officers then got on Whtmen's back. who
stopped over, and with his teeth picked up
two Gumb-bel!s tied together, weighing one
hundred pounds, and at the came time lifted
hundred pound bell in each hand. The
bells and men on bis back in all weighed ak
hundred pounds. Whitman also liiIed Two
hundred pounds by his teeth. Laying ouC
fiat on the floor, he strapped dfty.pound
belt TO hia foot, and then raised it up SLOWLY.
stopping 1t atintervsls One ofthe most ra.
marsable ieats he did was to tie a twenty
pound bell on the end OF a strap, the other
end Of which he held In bis teeth. He then
swung the bell around, and when he cot it
high In the cir he istked 1t back with bic
teeth. Whitmap. the wonder. was st one
time on the New York police foros.
