GROCND HOG DAY.

Yesterday was ground hog day, but
whether he came to the surface or not no
| body knows for no ground hogs are sup
| posed 10 be in Wichita although there are
several other kinds of hogs II there is
one and if he came out of his hole he must
! have seen his shadow and returned, for at
! the hour which ground hogs are supposed
! to appear the sun was shining brilliantly.
| 1t is taken for granted then by the be-
| levers in the ground hog tradition that
the weather will be bad for the next six
weeks
An EAGLE reporter met an old Mis-
souri, friend yesterday who is somewhat
learned in the habits of the ground
hog. He said that in his native state the
ground hog story is reality but he thinks
it IS myth in Kansas. There the animal
comes out of his hole at 10 O'Clock prompt
ly and Immediately makes a survey Of the
surroundings. He examines every tree
with a critical eye and if he sees a shell
bark hickory he smiles and proceeds to
climb it, if not he returns to his hole again
and stays there. When he climbs the
trunk of the tree he looks about for the
branch that extends the farthest compared
with the other branches and he
climbs this until he reaches
the very top of it. When there be looks
at the sky for the purpose Of noting the
direction Of the sun, and this done be looks
in the opposite direction. If he does not
see his shadow he spreads a hickory nut
feast for himself and eats it; but if he
does see his shadow he shakes his head,
turns to the right about, walks down the
tree again, hunts his hole with heavy
heart, at the opening Of which he sees the
anxious faces of his wife and little ones.
They know by the wise shake of his head
that they must remain indoors for six
weeks longer, and with heavy hearts they
all go down to the very bottom OF their
dwelling again.
The habits of the ground hog,
like the manners of people, he says,
are different in nearly every state. The
same gentleman AYERS that the Kansas
ground hog does not 90 into the weather
prophecy business to any considerable ex
tent for several reasons. In the first place
there is too much sunshine here for him
to make proper test, and in the second
place there are no shell-bArk hickorys.
He says that Hicks and the signal service
are more reliable in Kansas than the
ground hog; but that if he lived in Mis-
souri, they were not in it with him.

Of every nationality are hanging, a
pretty and interesting sight which is
worth the attention of a passing visitor.
A dozen nervy painters have just
commenced the task Of painting the

them each day and gaze upward with
brcathless interest for five minutes, IN

on III search Of greater wonders. It is
not so much the fact that the men are

daring heedlessness Of their actions.
With catlilzc activity they slide along
steel rods so narrow that their heels
project on one side while their toes can
be seen on the other. They seat them

DECLINE OF NEGRO SONGS.
Consequent Upon the Changing Condi-
tions o. the Race


tions o. the Race.
One of the bad spots In the negro
character, which has so much good in
it, is that they are undoubtedly not
strong in their domestic affections, saws
che Boston Transcript. The best nurses
in the world, they are Indifferent moth
ers. Their babies are regarded as in
the way, and the mortality among ne
gro children proves an appalling care
lessncSs of their lives. Consequently
there is not usually deep affection on
the part of the children. They leave
their parents with tho utmost readiness,
and an occasional letter is sent, either
TO ask for money, which they don't get,
or to brog of their success Naturally
the younger ones, born in freedom,
have a loathing for everything that per-
tains to slavery. They regard the old
slaves with contempt, and because the
younger ones can read and write they
set the older ones down as too ignorant
to be considered, forgetting that they
We're once efficient workers and aver
aged superior in morals and manners
to their descendants.
One of the results of this is the dying
out of the rich. melodious negro songs
not the songs of the negro minstrel"
type, which were totally unlike the real
article. This is Il very great pity, as
these songs were wild and charming
beyond comparison. In slavery times
the negroes were encouraged to sing.
The wheat was reaped to the singing Of
the reapers and the best singer gerter-
ally headed the row. The ones who
could pick the banjo or scrape the fiddle
We're peculiarly privileged.

One evening the Dome Curiose" by

who was to take the harlequin's part,
represented in that piece by stupid
slave called Pasquino, fell sick a few
hours before the curtain was to rise.
The company had been together for q
few days only, and It was out of the
question to substitute another play It
had been decided to close the theater
for that night. when Ber3afa asked:
Why couldn't your Tom take the

Authors and theatrical managers are
not always infallible. They are some
times guilty Of paying too little atten-
ton to the little woman, who, although
small, is quite an important perSonSge,
and should not be overlooked. They
first err in putting into he< mouth lines
Of vastly too heroic variety; the second
by substituting tall woman for her.
The little woInRn's province is quite
distinctly defined. and should under no
circumstances be usurped by her larger
sister of the stage.

and masculine roles.

proper de4ineation of such parts. A

not be too msnnish; it is that h2if-fem-
mime, helf masculine, manner that
makes the discrimination attractive, and
which, IN the case of a masculine role, is
more highly appreciated by an audience
if the actress has FIRST appeared in long
skirts. A woman loses much of her
charm when she DISCUSSES her identity
too perfectly.
Although belong TO the ranks OF lit

to the fact that they sometimes en-

usually rewarded by the failure they
deserve.

Marriage III England.

DR.. Ogle has given some interesting
testimony before the royal labor COM

marriage in the upper and lower classes

fessional and independent classes the
corresponding proportions are Isl and

under 81. as against 127 OF the weather.
classes. Early marriages among the
poor mean large families, but this, uc-
oording to DR.. 0gle, is counterbalanced
partially by the enormous mortality
among the children. With a view Of
showing the relation between these
deaths and the drunken habits of lower
class English women the doctor said he
had found that Of about 1000 children
