The following official notice was issued at 0 o'clock this evening: Kansas City, March 18. To tngineeis and firemen on the Santa Fo System: I am advised by our grand chief to request of you that you return to your respective positions at once; further, I will go to Chicago and adjust all misunderstand ings. J. Coxr.oic. Chairman of the General Grievance- Com mittee. Ch lirmau Conros returned from To peka this morning where he had been in conference yesterday with Governor Mar tin and Santa Fe otlieials. He ut once called the meeting of the committee here. Conroe quietly boarded the Rock Island express for Chicago at 4::J9 this morning and was fifty miles out of tha city by the time this notice was promulgated. The ex-strikers here assert that tlia company lias agreed not to handlu JJurlington freight. Crossing the Muddy Mreet. I stood at a corner on Main street the other day and watched the people making their way across th muddy street. Did you ever notice how differently this is done by different people. There is the lady who pauses moment arily in dismay, then pathers her skirts with one hand aud daintily picks her way, striving to step where some man's big brogau has left its imprint, but failing be cause the brogan took such long steps. Then comes the well dressed man who never deforms his shapely feet with over shoes. He glances down at his well pol ished boots, mutters an imprecation about the street commissioner, and walks acros3 on his heels, maintaining his balance with difficulty and losing his temper altogether. The old resident who is used to this sort of thing, and who would not feel at home with a clean pavement in the spring time, does not permit the muddy crossing to delay Lini, but with n rkill, born of long experience, takes advantage of every pro jecting dry spot that the pavement alTords, and doesn't get very muddy after alL Bat the man who produced the strong est Impression upon me, the man whom you "will at once recognize, was tha man whose unpolished boots and insensibility to dirt cnab"ed him to disregard the mud. This man sets his foot down like a pilo driver, or yanks it through the liquid mud like a snow plow and liberally bespatters everybody and everything within a radiu3 of five yards. You have met him; every body has met him. Ho has splashed you with mud; ho has splashed cverj-body. He should be abated as a public nui sance. Kansas City Journal. Conserve Your Force. Hamerton says: 4iIt often happens that mere activity is n waste of time, that peo ple who have a morbid habit of being busy are often terriblo time wasters; while, ou the contrary, those who are judiciously deliberate, and allow themselves intervals of leisure, see the way before them In those intervals, and save time by the ac curacy of their calculations." Another writer, unknown, says: "igpuie mc-n are in incessant action, early and late, and all thronsh the day. They have no time for family or friends. As for holidays, the less for them the better. They have Inherited a nervous tempera ment, and are doing just the wrong thing with it allowing it to hurry them to au untimely end. They weai themselves out. Their brain is ever in a state cf morbid activity almost like that of an in sane man. A little careful planning, end a proper laying out of work, and especially doing everything iu the proper time, would avoid all such hurry and worry, make work much easier, secure an abun dance of leisure and greatly increase length of life." Scientific American. i Uiiane Bosios aiifl Patterns AT THE USUAL Th Deaf Called by a Drum. Who would think of calling deaf men, by beating a drum? Yet this is exactly what is done in the institute for the deaf and dumb at Flint, Mich. With the drum resting on the floor and beaten in the usual way, everybody in the building is awakened in the morning. It is also used to call the boys from the playgrounds. The teachers state that those who can not hear At all feel the vibrations and answer the summons, Pittsburg Dis patch. Uta Her 1'ictnre Taken. My little daughter goes to the Trinity Sunday school and has been to several re vival meetings. Last week she had her photojrraph taken, and after the operator had finished her grandmother asked her how she fell? She said she felt about as the thought thoy do when they go forward for prayers, they don't know whether It took good or not. Henry W. Woodbury in Boston GlobF.

The HothschiMs believe in enjoying their wealth, aud like to have nice things about them. One of the Frankfort barons not long apro paid $1C0,(KJ0 for a silver cup, which he wished to use as a center piece of a table service which he was making np, and one of the Vienna barons has n stable which cost him $80,000. This stable has marble lloors, encaustic tiles painted by distinguished artists, and its walls are frescoed with scenes done by well known painters. The rings, chains and littings of the stable are silver, and one box stall for a favorite horse cost, it is said, 1:2,000. The income of the owner of this stable is about $o,000 a day. The Argonaut. C rows Versna English Sparrow. A fight between about 100 crows and perhaps 200 or.00 Fnglish sparrows was witnessed at Cuniniinsville, (.)., just bo fore sundown some time ago. The crows wero returning to their rookery from feed ing, when they were attacked by the spar rows. Four or five of the latter would get after one crow and pick it so badly as to almost disable it. In fact, three or four fell to the groutd, being so badly in jured as to be unable to ily. The liht resulted in the complete rout of the crows, and they seemed only too anxious to get away. One of them which was picked up was found to have had botli its eyes literally picked out. Boston Budget. Overcoat ua l'neunionltt llreedors. Judge Tillman, chairman of the con gressional committee Investigating tho Beading strike, is GO years of age, strong and active, and has never worn an over coat. Bike Hannibal Hamlin, he has a great prejudice against this garment. "An overcoat," he says, "is a pneumonia breeder. When I am cold on the street I button my coat, and the blasts have no terrors for ne. When I was at Harvard cobege that was forty years ago I tried to wear flannels, but I've never worn 'em since." New York World. Climate and lira I u IVeizlit. The avernge weight of the brain of man apparently bears a definite relation to tho climate a higher brain weight being found iu cold .ban in warm countries. In pro portion to their stature, the B.npps have the largest heads in F.urope, the Nor wegians next; then comes the Swedes, Danes, Germans, French and Italians. Iu the Arab the head is found to be smaller than in any of these, while in the far north there exists a people known as Chngatslics who possess remarkably large heads. G lobe-Den-.ocrut. A Luxury iu Paris. ' Fires are considered a great luxury here. Wo have immense andirons, and the fires are built on the stone or tilo floors. They generally burn a sort cf m ick made of pressed coal, called a briquette, warranted to last five hours. As I tell sister, a common brick would last longer and give as much heat. Tho French people are so economical "they jnnip up and pour water on the fire to keep it from burning up too quickly. Elizabeth Nourso iu Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette. A New Kind of Oars. Oars are coming into uso in which the blade is made from the best sheet steel, highly tempered, and is alleged to be much stronger than the ordinary wooden one, and cannot be broken without undue violence; the handle fits into the socket, running nearly the whole length of the blade, and formiug a backbone of great strength; and tho oar, being much thin ner in the blade than the wooden one, enters and leaves the water cleaner. The handles are made separately, of spruce or ash. New York Sun. Rapidity of Thought. The learned Dr. McKattrell, in an elab orate article in The Nineteenth Century, on the rapidity of thought, states that it requires one-thirteenth of a second 'to judge between blue and red. If the doctor liftd ever noted the time taken by a woman in choosing the right shade of rib bon for her spring bonnet, he would not have been led into so glaring au error. Pittsburg Bulletin. A High Toned Dynasty. Tho most high toned dynasty in the world is that of Japan, according to a Japanese lecturer in the Berlin Academy of Oriental Languages. The mikado is descended from the gods, and is the 121st of his race. The national religion, Sinto ism, possesses 8,000.000 gods and saints, and there are 130,000 temples. New York Sun. Conducive to Taking Cold, "I haven't had a cold for years," said a well known physician the other night. "Not since I gave up the pernicious habit of turning up the coilar of my top coat. Don't be afraid of exposing your throat, unless the rain goes down your neck then it's only a matter of comfort for tho time being." Philadelphia Press.

The Listener witnessed recently an in teresting little ceremony tho removal of three charges from an old revolver, which had been borne, and evidently used, by an officer on the field of Cedar Creek, on Oct. 19, 1804. On that dav, Capt. G. F. W , of tho Thirtieth Massachusetts, had, as he charged with his company tho stone wall behind which tho Confederates wero entrenched, drawn this old five shooter, of the most approved ante war type, which looks about as much like the ordinary Colt or Smith & Wesson of this day as a revolutionary firelock does like tho latest pattern of magazine riile. Tho revolver was louded, but the captain had discharged two shots from it. Then he was himself shot through the heart, and fell. The men pushed on; the Confeder ates were driven from their iosiiion, ami defeat turned into victory; but when Gen. Sheridan rode before tho reformed line, and complimented tho troops mon their bravery, the gallant captain lay back upon the field, among the dead and wounded. His revolver, with the remaining three charges in it, was sent home tohis family, and from that day to this the charges re mained in it, like a sheathed weapon ready for service. Occasion had nrNcii. how ever, to pass the c! I I ; : .! : younger hand, and it was deemed best to draw the old charces at last. So the three percussion caps, that looked as old fash ioned as a flint lock itself to this genera tion, were removed. The bullets, with their paper cartridges, wero carefully drawn; and the powder fell out of them, somo of it as bright and doubtless as energetic, if one were to test it, as when the captain loaded his revolver before the battle of Cedar Creek. To one who was there, the sight of those old cartridges must have brought back a grim and mov ing spectacle of as gallant a charge as the war had known. Boston Transcript "Listener." Light Depth of Arctic Snows. The comparatively light depth of snow in the north frigid zone is tolerably easy of explanation, but the difference in con sistency between it and the same material further south is not so easy to understand. In the former case we really have but two seasons when the snow falls the spring and autumn the intensely cold weather of winter being as unfavorable for a snow storm seemingly as the summer itself; in fact, I have seen a snow storm every July and August I was in the Arctic, while there were a number of months in each winter of which I could not say the same. The Eskimo plainly recognize these two seasons of snow storms, and havo two different names for tho spring and fall 6HOWS. During the winter there may be high winds, which carry the loose snow in drifting packs, so that a person caught out in such a gale would think at first sight that he was in a first class snow storm ; but, nevertheless, none has fallen, and although drifts have formed deeper here and there, this has leen picked up from the ridges and hilltops and the average depth is the same as before. For this, too, the natives have a name, and will inform you that at that temper ature and that tirno of the year no snow falls. In Greenland ob servations have been carried on for many years by Danish meteorologists, and Dr. Rink, the best authority on that region, says that "iu north Greenland the amount of snow annually falling is in ferior to that of south Greenland," and this law seems to be general. In short, the heaviest fall of snow is not iu the frigid no more than in tho torrid zone, but somewhere between the two. Lieut. Frederick Sehwatka.
