AGOLDEN EAGLE CAPTURHD.-A br1u-
ter on the Yellow River. near Chippewa,
Wis, IN the winter of 16T4-5, went out
one day TO bring in the carcass Of deer
that had been hung on tree for safe
keeping. The man had borne the deer
about forty rods from the tree. when an
eagle swooped down on the path about
twelve feet N front of hum, and turning
about, stood upon enc foot with
the other uplifted. as if ready for fight:
lis head was cree, its eyes sharply fix
ed upon the man carry ing OF the deer.
upon which it was probably about to
feed the feathers were all turned for
ward and stood on an end, and the
wings were partially spread. The man
dropped the deer, and, selling a stick,
struck the eagle SO violent blow that
the weapon was broken. The bird re-
treated about SIX feet, then vhirlinc
around again, assumed the same defiant
attitude as before. Its antagonist I lex
ed MP another stick and started for the
eagle, which nenacing advanced until
the two were only four feet apart. The
blow now dealt the bird injured it so
that il could not fly, and It underworld
70 run away. Yet again it turned with
plucky purpose TO fight the battle out.
but the superior power Of the man secur-
ed the victory, and the bird wns laid low.
It Was golden eagle, and measured two
feet and ten inches from the bill to the
tn OF the tsil, aud seven and half feet
across the wings.

How to Calcimine.

Buy the best bleached glue if the walls
are to be white or some light tint (if dark
it is imnlaterlal SO the glue is clean), and
use it in proportion of quarter of pound
to eight pounds Of whiting. Soak the glue
over night; in the mourning pour off the
water, as it simply swells while soaking.
Add fresh water and put it in pail, and
set that in a kettle of boiling water. When
dissolved, stir it into the water, adding
enough water to make it, after mixing, of
the same consistency as common white
wash. Tt may be tinted any color, and ap-
piled with whitewash brush. If the color
is rubbed smooth in a little water and then
mixed with the wash it will be more even.
If the walls have been previously white
washed, scrape away all that will come off,
and wash with solution of white vitriol
two ounces in pail of water. The yitiiol
win be decolnposed. forming zinc white and
plaster Of Paris, to which calclmine easily
adheres. 1t is important to dissolve the
glue In hot water bath, for il scorchea by
too great heat its tenacity is impaired and
destroyed. Whiting is simply chalk freed
from impurities and reduced to fine pow
der, and is also known under the name of
Paris and Spanish white, though the latter
is really white earth found in Spain.
There is great difference in whitewash
brushes. and the beauty Of the work, as
well as the ease Of performing Il, depends
very much on good brush, making it
worth while to pay the diffars nce between
that and a cheap one. For tie inexpcri-
enced il i more difficult to lay on tints
evenly than pure white.

The Big Bonanza Mines.

The decline In the prices of stock in the
6 Big Bonanza" mines Of Nevada, the
Consolidated Virginia and California, has
been followed by lively demand for shares
at present rates. Grave doubts are ex-
pressed as to whether the wealth of these
mines is not nearly exhausted. The Con-
solidated Virginia in April, 1874, paid its
first dividend amounting TO $324, 900, and
until the present time dividends have never
ceased. In November of the same year,
stock in the two mines ran up to $3.50 per
share for the Consolidated Virginia, and
sSO5 per share for California, when it sud-
denly dropped to from $500 to $3.50 per
share-where it held until the recent de-
cline. The whole aggregate of dividends
paid to stockholders in the Virginia mine
amounts to $21, ,660, 900, and the whole
p.oduct Of the mine has been $50, ,0u0, ,000
The average yield has been 81, 2o0, 900 per
month, until recently, when it has fallen Of
considerably. In June the yield was less
than 5000, 900, and July's operations are
not expected to produce more than $3.50,
600. The managers give as reason for
this that they have turned over most Of
their min facilities TO the other mine, in
which they claim that there is 81, ,000, 900
worth OF ore In sight. Within the past
month both mines have deprecated IN
| auotable value To the amount OF nearly

a Seed That Purifies Water.

In India, where it is often quite impossi-
BILE to obtain good vater, there is kind of
provision of Providence for the purifying
of impure and muddy water which is well
worthy Of notice. Were it in America, 1t
might be called an g institution" !" SO COM
mon is its use It is a seed, which, On be-
ing rubbed again and again on the inside of
the common earthern water-pots Of the
country, has the power Of precipitating the
earth and impurities, leaving the water
tolerably clear, and to degree suitable for
use. During our itinerancy Of two weeks
we have had occasion almost constantly to
use the very repulsive- looking tank-water
of the country thus purified. At only one
Of our encampments have we had well wa
ter. and then the natives much preferred
the common surface or tank-water to this.
Habit, usage and custom are almost omnip-
osent in India, and many years must pass
before Hindoos win learn that their purify
ing seed does not remove the poisonous
taint that produces fever and cholera and
does nothing to destroy animal life that
brings the very common and troublesome
Guinea worm, ID olisn making life almost
Or qaise burden. ii IS source Of aatis-
faction to Us that this purified water Is rem

1t is all very nice for men folks to w4ite
proverbs about "the morning hour having
gold in it's mouth" and che that would
thrive must rise by five," and
"Plow deep, while sluggards sleep,
And you will have corn both to sell and keep"
But let them be up and down all night with
whooping- cough babies, and earache lads,
or toothaehe girls, as nine women out of
ten find their rest broken, and they would
sing quite another tune. The theory may
be beautiful, but the practice is the difficult
ty. Early rising is an excellent thing if
you sleep well, but rank suicide if you do
not. Make some provision to have the
breakfast got by others, il the morning
hour is the first good refreshing sleep you
can get. 1t is this terrible sleeplessness,
which SO few think an evil Of any great
moment, that drives such scores of mothers
to the insane retreats that robs life of all
cheer, and vigor, and hopefnlness, and
makes many young mother look old and
broken in her very prime. Some one has
truly said, that the cry for sleep the world
over, was far more urgent than the cry for
bread. You would consider it o cruel OPP
preston which robbed working woman of
third of her needfnl food, but she could
better live on one meal day than on a
third of her natural rest.-Esther Sfs West
