Making Religion Pay.

The Chicago newspapers comment Sc
verely on the course of the Republic Life
Insurance Company, which recently failed
in that city. In order to inspire public
confidence, an eminently religious man was
offered the presidency. He was wealthy, a
lay preacher, an organizer of Sunday
schools, highly respected. He accepted the
position, and his price, as was shown by a
receivers report, was $5O,000 in cash, and
$750,0OO in stock, with twenty per cent.
credited as paid. He was not an expert in
the insurance business, and his sole qualif-
cation was the reputation for solidity that
his name would give to the concern. Of
course he sold his stock before the crash
and cleared fortune, while the policy
holders lose everything.

A VOLTS Mistake.

The San Francisco Post says BY the
Wolcot, of this city, brought two young
black eagles from Woodward's Gardens.
He states that this species of eagle is rare
almost to extinction. They were secured
by him on very elevated portion of the
Serpe range of mountains, about 10 miles
northwardly from Santa Barbara.
Having previously observed the parent
eagles sailing down into the valley, he
climbed tree 80 feet above the ground
before a branch was reached, and then 10
feet more to the nest, some of the sticks
composing which were as thick as mans
wrist. With some difficulty he secured
the young birds, then about three weeks
old and about the size of chickens. He
succeeded in decamping with them before
the return of one of the old birds, which
came back shortly afterward with a young
lamb in its claws.
Though the old bird saw Mr.. Wolcot, it
did not see the young eagles he had, or
there would have been square fight Re-
turning to the house at which he was stay
ing, the birds were secured in pen and
kept three weeks. They are now about six
weeks old, about two feet in height, and
can dispose of a jackrabbit or so at a meal
without indigestion.
A few days ago a coyote visited the house
and destroyed all the chickens The eagles
were then placed in the chicken pen, and
on the next morning the coyote returned to
get some more chickens, and, under the
impression that these eagles would fill the
bill, got hold of one of them, which also
got hold of him by inserting its talons in
the nose of the latter, but was unable to
drag him into the pen, the coyote being
equally powerless to drag the eagle out.
The coyote then concluded that he did
not want any more eagle just at that time,
and expressed himself to that effect loudly,
but too late, inasmuch as Mr.. Wolcot's at
tention was drawn to the spot, when he
shot the coyote to relieve the misunder-
standing. He says that the full grown
eagles of this very rare species are eight
feet in spread Of wing, four feet in height,
and scarcely any man or animal could
avoid being stunned if attacked by them in
their usual manner by pushing with the
breast,

Getting the Best Of Him.

The New Bedford Mercury relates that
not long since a gentleman travelling by
rail from neighboring city to Boston, pur-
chased glass of soda at a refreshment
stand in way station and gave the attend
ant quarter. The latter apparently pur-
posely delayed making change, and his
customer was obliged to hurry on board the
train with feeling ofhaving been cheated,
and consequently "out" fifteen cents. At
the next stopping place he rushed to the
window of the telegraph Office and dictated
a message to be sent to the soda water man,
and paid for by the recipient. 1t was as
follows: "Do you sell foam at 25 cents
glass?" At every station where there was
a chance he repeated this message. Upon
reaching Boston, having thus revenged
himself five times he glided out of the de-
pot and off about his business, with quiet
smile of satisfaction irradiating his placid
. features that was refreshing to look up
on. AS for the soda water man that night
after shutting up he drew up a little bal
ance sheet on the fly-leaf of his diary as
follows: "Expenses of telegraphy, 81 25;
extra profit on soda, 15c; out 81 1922
Patrons of his establishment won't have to
wait so long for their ch hange after this as
they did.

nB- An interesting point of law has
arisen in Mclean county, III. The Judge
of the district, while presiding at murder
trial, temporarily vacated his seat, and
with the consent of the prisoners counsel,
placed well known member of the bar in
his stead. The prisoner was convicted,
but appealed his case to the Supreme
Court of the State, which held that the
absence Of the district Judge for time,
however short, was illegal, and thatneither
the prisoner nor his counsel could make
the substitute of another man legal by
their consent. The higher Court has,
therefore, decided that the accused had
no legal trial, and that ceremony will have
to be gone over once more before bis guilt
or innocence can be established.

Magazine Notices.

HaTper'S Magazine for July contains nine il
lustrated contributions, with eighty-five en-
cravings. Among these papers an especially
timely and curious article is contributed by
Maurice Thompson, entitled Hunting with the
Long bow, illustrated by Miss Bridges, and
Messrs. Beard, Gibson, Abbey, Davis and other
distinguished artists. TheHwriter's experience
for many years in this novel sport yields a rich
fund of useful information and striking Incl
dent. John Muir, the scientific explorer of the
Sierra, contributes an original description of a
novel phenomenon, which he entities Snow
Banners of the Californian Alps, with illustra-
tions. The remarkable battle between General
Herkimer's Provincial troops and the British
forces, with their Indian allies, near old Fort
Schuyler, August 9th, 1777, is graphically de-
scribed in Harold Frederics illustrated paper
The Mohawk Valley in the Revolution.
Mr.. Lyman Abbotts elaborate ard.entertain.
ing article on Westminster Abbey is illustrated
by twenty.six beautifully executed engravings,
including representations of architectural feat
ures, and of the most interesting monuments
and relics The Orkney and Shetland Islands
ara described by Edwards Roberts, with numer.
Gus illustrations of their picturesque scenery,
ancient monuments and social life. Fl. d. Mi
not contributes another interesting illustrated
paper of Birds Nests. A Beautiful Charity,
by A. P. c., is a description of a visit to the
poor children's Summer Home at Bath, Long
Island, with four illustrations.
While there are in this number so many de-
scriptive articles, the literary character of the
magazine is well sustained by the remarkable
serial stories of Charles Reade and r. d. Black
more; by short stories from the pen Of Miss
Constance f. Woolson, and Miss Augusta Ste
vens, and by poetcal contributions from j. T.

MoUKHTAR PAsHA is always falling back

makes a stand nowhere. He will soon evac-

now pursuing. When overtures for peace
come he will have left all of Armenia from
Trebizond to the Persian frontier in the pos
session OF the Russians. They will then be
enabled to negotiate on the basis of the ces

cupied by their armies. This will include a
coast line on the Black Sea to Trebizond and
perhaps beyond to Sinope.
