From the plans that have been
made, it is apparent that the coming
building season in Topeka will be one
of unusual activity. AS a matter of
fact more building work has been I'M
der way in this city during all of the
winter months than was in progress
during the summer months not so
many years ago. That you can't keep
good man down is accepted on all
sides as being the whole truth and
nothing but the truth. And the same
is true of a good city.

FROM OTHER PENS
TIME TO PROPOSE.

The London papers wearying of pol
itics, have fallen into controversy as
to the time at which man should
propose marriage. The briefest an
swer so far given to the question is:
cat the earliest opportunity" But
there has come forward certain
Lady Troubridge with a suggestion
more amplified as well as more orig
inal than that. She would have men
propose by daylight only, and at that
preferably before breakfast. at the
hour when the human being Is sup
posed to be at the worst.
In making this suggestion Lady
Troubridge does not feel that she is
advocating anything which will work
against the ancient custom OF marry
ing and giving in marriage. She does
not feel that the adoption of her idea
would deplete the strength of the en-
pire. She feels, rather, that 1t would
strengthen the social fabric.
Lady Troubridge holds that among
the causes of unhappy marriages there
is none more general than the pro-
posal by moonlight, or in the soft
evening glow that Eliminates the con-
servatory, that haven in which the
loved and lover escape the crowded
ballroom. In the unromantic day
light, she believes, thousands of men
who should not propose would hold
their tongues, for by daylight they
look on life as it is, and the fear OF
consequences enters their hearts

COLLEGE BRED WHEAT. ETC.

A farmers institute lecturer out
west tells his brethren that they
should plant no wheat unless it was
college bred" BY the. use of this
seed, he says. the yield has increased
from 40 to so bushels an acre. This
is testimony to the good sense in
studying the essentials Of scientific
farming.

MORE ARMY ENGINEERS.
1t is pleasing to note that the river
and harbor act of this year provides
for increases in the army corps Of
engineers. A total of sixty new Off
GERS is allowed, but the increase is to
be distributed over a period OF hVe
years, so there will be only twelve
new officers a year. The total number
to be named in the f1ve-year period
will include five colonies. six ieuten-
ant colonies. nineteen majors, seven
teen captains and thirteen first lieu
tenants.
Civilians will take special interest in
these increases for the reason that,
generally speaking, they are thrown
into closer contact with the engineers
than any other army officers. The en-
gineers are the men who take charge
of the government work being done in
all parts of the nation. Moreover, the
work of the engineers, which, if any
thing, is greater in times of peace than
in war is invariably of nature cal
cuiated to bring constant benefits upon
