the camp, and, after some ceremony, the
tails are pulled out. and they are let go to
grow another tail for the next year The
traps consist Of a hole in the ground covered
with sticks and grass A dead rabbit, fox
or prairie chicken is tied to the top the ca.

(who is concealed in the hols) puts out his
hand, catches the eagle by both legs, hauls
him into the hole and ties him He then

eagles in one day in this way. Thsy say if
they do not hold fast and do their medicine

At breakfast these young husbands didn't

at the table, but they turned to the brides

INFLUENCE OF Music. tide of h attic
has been turned, even now, by the inspirin g
strains of military music, and fainting war
riors have rallied to the charge in response
to the cangor of their band. During that
terrible struggle between the Irish and the
Danes, which lasted for two hundred years,
the minstrels Of ireland poured out their
choicest melodies. to rouse the people again st
"their invaders, the Danes" who swept
down upon Ireland with harper in each
boat, playing on his harp, the strains float
ing on the waves of the sea Redeemed with
the blood of friend and foe. It was Queen
Elizabeth who said: "We can never con.
quer Ireland while the Ministries live :" so
she ordered every minstrel to be hanged -
Her father Henry VIII. during his reign,
ordered every harper to put to death. These
polite sovereigns understood the effect which
music had upon theardent sons of Ireland
and rcsorted to these cruel measures to ex-
tinguish their patriotic fervor and spirit.

Who never come home at night?
And hearts have broken from harsh words spo-
