Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-The dry-goods
market is in a comatose condition almost.
according to its usual habit during the
holiday week, and values as a rule show
no changes. a general disposition TO defer
operations until after Jan. l is noticeable
in all departments of the market, and bust
ness is confined to most pressing wants
so that values are to be regarded as quite
nominal for anything lil4S round lots. Re
cent revision in cotton goods failed to slim
ulate business. Print cloths rule dull on the
basis Of Sc for extra GA squares: prints
and printed fabrics are quite neglected
and nominally unchanged; ginghams and
woven fabrics rule quiet at former prices.

THE GORILLA AT HOME.
Wha- . Scientific Traveller Discovered 4
the African Jungle.

Wha- Scientidc Traveller Discovered In
the African Jungle.
The usual pictures of the gorilla do
not represent him as have seen him,
writes L. L. Garner in McClure's Mag
azine. He has not only crouehing
habit, but he walks on all four of his
legs, and has the motion of most quad
rupeds, using his right arm and ieftleg
at the same time, and alternates with
the left arm and right leg. 1t is not
exactly walk or trot. but kind of
ambling gait, while the chinpanzee
uses his arms as crutches. but lifts
one foot from the ground a little in ad
vance of the other. They do not place
the palm of the hand on the ground,
but use the back of the fingers from
the second joint, and at times the one
/ have described above seemed to
touch only the back of the nails. bat
this was when she was scarcely NOV
ing at all.
On reaching Ste. Anne I selected
site for nay cage and erected il at once.
1t is located in the jungle, trifie more
than mile from any human habita-
ton, and | named it Fort Gorilla. 1t
is in a spot where nothing but the
deniZen of the bush has any cause to
come. 1t is near grove of plan
tains, on which the gorilla feasts with
gusto of a charter member of the
Gourmand club. He does not care so
much for the fruit, but takes out the
tender heart of the young stalk. which
is quite succulent, and eats il with
an appetite peculiar 10 his race.
Before my cage was quite in order to
receive I had my first call from
young gorilla, who came within about
ten yards. as il to see what was going
on. had my rifle in my hand, but did
not fire'at him, as desired him to call
again and bring friends. He didn't
tarry long, but hurried off into the
bush as though he had something to
tell.
The third day after nv cage was
completed family of ten gorillas
crossed the rear of the open grounds
belonging to the mission and not more
than two hundred yards from the
house. A small native boy was within
some twenty yards of them when they
crossed the path il front of him.
Within few minutes was notified of
the fact and took my rifle and followed
them into the bush until lost their
trail A few hours later they were
seen again by some natives not ksr
away from the cage, but they did not
call on me. The next day, however, |
had visit from a group who came
within some thirty yards of the cage.
The bush was SO dense that | could
not see them, but could easily distin-
guish four or five voices, which seemed
to be engaged in family broil of some
kind. / suppose that they were the
same family that had been seen the day
before

PERFECT IRRIGATION,

Frank Fox has one acre of alfalfa on
his farm in Attica township, which
yielded this year eight tons of hay. IL
is located on the Cowskin bottom, the
surface being some two feet above the
water line. The roots of the plants find
their way to perpetual moisture, and
thus, whether the season is wet or dry,
the yield is all that the soil will produce
under the most favorable conditions.
This is an example of what perfect
irrigation will do.
All that is needed in Sedgwick county
is moisture. II this can be secured by
artificial means there is no reason why
every acre may not produce as much as
the one above cited
Alfalfa hay is worth SIS per ton in this
market. Comment is unnecessary.

The weather report for October, 1893,
prepared by Professor F. H. Snow Of the
University of Kansas, from observations
taken at Lawrence, shows the past
month to have becn one of the five
warmest Octobers on a twenty-six years
record. The first black frost of the
season occurred on the 18th, five days
earlier than the average date The most
remarkable meteorological feature Of
the month was the insignificant rainfall
of less than two-tenths of an inch, as
against an October average of three
inches. The percentage of cloudiness
was only half the average, and lower than
has ever before been noted for October
at that station. The barometer was be-
low the normal, and the wind velocity
considerably above. The mean temper
ature was 59.92 degrees, which is l. 40
degrees above the October average. The
highest temperature was 81 degrees, on
the 9th; the lowest was 81 degrees, on
the 18th, giving range of Sc degrees.

STOP THE CONTAGION.

One of the most prominent physicians
IN the state fully agrees with the EAGLE s
plan of dealing with the vicious crank
element. Referring specially 10 the re-
cen act and attempted assassin acts
of that following, the doctor said:
Il firmly believe that if some of these
so-called 'cranks' were made an example
of and put to death, there would be less
insane men hazarding the lives of our
public men. These 'cranks' who are
always threatening the life of a man as
soon as he gets to the top of the ladder,
are getting alarmingly frequent. 1t ap-
pears to be a contagious mania, and the
best way to stop its spreading is to put
aside our charity for the plea of insanity
and deal with these guilty 'cranks' as
the measure of their crime deserves.
firmly believe that this treatment would
have a wholesome effect in subduing this
class of insanity"
