WICHITA cannot b. struck with cyclone.
1t is known that the Indian legends say so,

small cyclone passed over Wichita one
night, dipped down on East Oak street,
sucked all the water ont of the tanks in
the oil yard. raised again and passed over
Fairmount. This statement was confirmed
by others who live in that part of The city.
IT, was reported last night that storm

many monuments in the Cemetery, but
inquiry at Muellers found no Knowledge
of It there IL is probabl- that that report
WAS based upon the injury done to the

Notebooks Not Allowed.

HE was the best surveyor and drafts
man in my employ" said well known
civil engineer, referring to man whom
he had just discharged. 81 discovered a
short time ago that he was keeping a
private notebook, and after notifying
him that he must stopit and again learn
ing that he was continuing the practice
| was obliged to discharge him.
ga surveyor" said he, sin doing a
piece of work makes minutes as he goes
along of the lines he runs, of the various
points marking the bounds of the lands
he is surveying and all such data as is
not only necessary for the drawing Of
his plans, but also incidentally that
which may aid him in the case of any
other survey being made later on.
"Thls data, you see, really constitutes
a sort of capital or stock in trade, for if
the party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose he
will naturally apply to that same sur
veyor, who, having. these old memoran-
da, can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor. Often
times, after many years have elapsed
and old landmarks have passed away.
those minutes become very valuable.
consequently civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his employ are not allowed
to make copies of minutes of surveys
which they make while in his employ.
Otherwise an old employee, in leaving
and setting up in business for himself,
could carry away large slice of his en-
ployer's business. New York Herald.

Now It's an Aluminium Wedding.

The already long list of jubilees and
family celebrations has been enriched
by a novelty in the line Of wedding fes-
tivities. The family and friends of
rich manufacturer living in the neigh
borhood Of Berlin deemed the interval
between the silver and golden wedding
to be altogether too long, and halvine
it introduced last week an aluminium
wedding by offering the happy couple
on the occasion Of the completion Of
3715 years OF welded life choice va
riety OF presents made Of aluminium. If
this novel idea should take, the Alumni
UNI industry has a great future before it.
The Prussian capital. Of all German
cities the one most given to societies and
fetes of every posi- bic name and descrip-
ton, has since gone even one better by
celebrating a seven year wedding, which
the friends of the parties, with true Ber-
lin hunor, chrjstened the jubilee of the
seven Yeas ar.-Paris American
Register.

sympathetic yaccin alton.

The Listener has heard Of something
very queer and quite new to him. 1t
is sympathetic vaccination, which sew
eral people are said to have suffered
from. Without having been vaccinated
at all, but with vaccinated people all
about, you presently feel at times a
singing or itching sensation in a spot
on your arm where the doctor would
have vaccinated you it you had been
vaccinated. In some cases this sympa-
thetic vaccination afflicts only the left
arm, but occasionally it shifts from one
arm to the other, appearing first on the
left and then for time on the right.
1t is believed to be a nervous outgrowth

ed people and their everlasting descrip-
t1on of their sensations. Boston Tran

'Is there any system by which the habit

There is among doctors 1t is taught
regularly to the students here, at all events.
1t would be great thing if the police gen
orally could be trained to observe more
closely. The lines upon which it might be
done would be to make the prizes bigger

centive to special training is not too great.

binary policeman makes is this-that be
gets his theory first and then makes the
facts fit it, instead of getting his facts first
and making all his little observations and
deductions until he is driven irresistibly by
them into an elucidation in direction he
may never have originally contemplated
with regard to the doctors. I think
every good teacher, if he is to make his
men good doctors, must get them to cult
vate the habit of noticing the IitJle appar-
ent trifes. Any really good doctor ought
to be able to tell, before patient has fairly
sat down, a good deal of what is the mat
ter with him or her. With woman es-
pecially the observant doctor can often tell
by noticing her exactly what part of her
body she is going to talk about But to

CAPITAL OUT OF THE STRIKE.
Coni Combine May Increase Prices
mud Limit the Output.

The insolencc OF the coal combine In
increasing the wholesale prices of
anthracite on account OF the strike
among the miners of soft coal, and In
the next breath deciding to mine a
smaller quantity of anthracite for the
coming month, Is an example OF the
condition OF n coal market In which
honest competition Is ~stranglcd.
1t Ia this condition which THE
World seeks to change. THIS action
indicates that the combine IL going To
put on the screws again N try to
squeeze the consumer Il little tighter.
Therefore THE World' will continue rs
offer to ielivc coal to consumers In
New York or Brooklyn at $50 per ton.
The combine may mine only G per
cent. OF the capacity OF the collieries.
which means the throwing out OF EN-
ployment OF 10 out OF every lN miners
In Pennsylvania, ana consequent pov-
Crty and want among the poor people
OF the anthracite rcgion, but The
World" will continue to serve the people
and to show up the extortionate
methods.
Even at the advance Just ordered re.
tail dealers will still be able to sell
coal at $3.50 per ton n they so desire.
but any consumer who is unable Ia
purchase coal at hat rate from his
dealer may leave his order at 1.-The
Worlds New York or Brooklyn ONCE
and the cotl will be delivered at A.5C
per ton.
