A LITTLE CRATE STORY.
BY SCOTT CAMPBELL.

Kittie stood drying her apron before
the fire. Mamma had put on the nice
clean apron little while before, and
told her to keep it very fresh and neat
until papa came home. But the little
girl wanted drink, and some way the
goblet would tip, and there was splash
all the way from the neck to the pretty
rufHe. Kittie was "drefful sorry" and
"never didn't mean to-" bat the only
thing to be done was to dry 1t before the
bright fire in the CRATE. So she stood
watching the glowing Goals, wondering
what made the fire dry it away so fast.
That was too big wonder for her to
find out. Willie was sitting in the
room reading.
brother Willie, what does make the
fire dry my apron p
"Why, little sis, the heat" said
Willie.
"But what makes the heat take away
the water 2"
Will was a pleasant, good natured
boy, and tried cheerfully to explain it
tohls little sister.
1.-THE hot air separates the particles
of water and it floats off in the air IN
steam or vapor. You know how the
steam of the kettle goes up in a little
fine mist until you cannot see 1t; so the
water on your apron Is turned into fine
mist or vapor, and is waited off in the
air until there is no more water and the
apron is dry. read all about it in my
little book, Science Made Easy" So
that was off her mind, but the apron
was not yet quite dry, and Kittie still
kept looking into the fire until the little
face was as rosy as the flames. This
grille had such a busy brain, always
trying to think things out, and always
wanting to know the why's for every
thing. Presently she spoke again:
"Oh, brother Willie what makes it
burn 2"

A Fight With an Eagle.

t.. w. Wright, the well-known tax
idermist, had quite novel experience
on Tuesday, which was not altogether
without danger, but he was so FORUM
ate as to escape injury, and has two
trophies of.his skill and proves as me-
menloes of the event. Mr.. Wright is a
skillful hunter, and on Tuesday was
seven miles east of the city, and near
the bank of the Missouri river, on the
lookout for game suitable for preserva-
ton. While thus engaged, partly hidden
from view, a large eagle came lowering
in range of his trusty double barrel shot
gun, and he discharged one round,
which brought the noble bird to the
ground. Not wishing to risk breaking
its wings or legs by another shot, or
otherwise disfiguring it fer the taxider-
mist's use, he retrained from shooting ii
second time. Throwing his gun down
he ran to the wounded bird, seized ii
and was in the act of Sitting its throat
when it gave scream and Immediately
he felt something strike him quite for
chilly and be fell to the ground. Great
was his surprise when he found that
another eagle, a companion bird, at
lracted by the fall and cries of its mate,
had made an attack on him. The eagle
remained on the ground for Il few mo-
ments, fluttering around. He struck at
it with stick, when it ilew upward.
Mr.. Wright felt assured from its
movements that it was preparing for q
second assault and seized his gun, but

bird. with its strong beak and talons
and propelled by its powerful wings,
made a sudden sweep ut him, when he
discharged his gun, a portion of the
shot taking effect in one of the wings,
causing It to sheer from its course and
fall to the ground. The taxidermist
ran and seized it, when n desperate
struggle eRsued, lasting some little
time. as he was DESTROYS of securing the
bird alive. Finally the eagle was wor-
ried out and he succeeded in fastening
its legs together and then turned his at
tention to the first bird, which was dis
patched. With his gun and the live
and dead eagles, all making a heavy
weight, Mr.. Wright started home. and
had the trophies of his exciting days
sport safely cared for. He is not de-
sirous of repeating the experience, as
the capture of slightly wounded eagle
is no pleasant task and attended with
some danger The live eagle measures
seven feet six inches from tip to tip of
the wings and the dead bird seven feet
five inches. They are about as large
specimens of their species as have ever
been seen in this part of the country

The Men Who We're Not Hanged.

The following story is told in Waite's
" Life of Wellington" l got famously
taken in on that OCCASION" said the
duke. 1.-THE troops had taken to plum
dering good deal. 1t was necessary
to stop it, and l issued an order an
nouncing that the first man taken in the
act should be hanged upon the spot. One
day just as we were sitting down to din
ner three men were brought to the door
of the tent by the preUOt. The case
against them was clear, and Iha6 moth

be taken away and hanged in some

had good many guests with me on
that occasion, and among the rest, |
think, Lord Nugent. They seemed
dreadfuily shocked, and could not eat
their dinner. Ididn't like it much my
self, but, rs told them, / had no time
to indulge my feelings; | must do my
duty. Well, the dinner went off rather
gravely; and next morning, sure
enough, three men in uniform were
seen hanging from the branches OF a
tree close to the high road. 1t was q
terrible example, and produced the de-
sired effect; there was no more plumber
ing; when, some months afterward, |
learned that one of nay staff took coun-
sci with DR.. Hume, and as three men
had just died in the hospital they hung
them up, and let the three culprits re-
turn to their regiments" wv eren't YOU
very angry, duke?" Well, l suppose
l was at first, but as had no wish to
take the poor fellows lives, and as the
example had the desired effect, my
anger soon died out, and I confess TO
you that am very glad now that the
three lives were spared" ...ss.

About Rubber Boots.

Of absorbing or OF becoming Incorporated
with very large quantity OF cheap and bulky
substances like lampbleck, chalk, etc., which
cannot be detected by the uninitiated, and
which impair the durability OF the goods.
People call for low-priced goods, not re-
fleeing that low prices always means low
quality. The result is they waste money on
wild cat" rubber boots, when an extra
dollar or two would buy them pair which
will wear to their utmost satisfaction whole
season or more. The 95 Per Cent. Sterling

reform this abuse, and is well worth the in

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY.
Senate.

On motion OF Mr.. johnson, the Senate took
up and passed the resolution reported by him
from the committee on agriculture, originally
introduced by Mr.. Davis, OF West Virginia,
instrncting the committees OF agriculture OF
both houses to consider the subject OF agri-
culture and report what should be done by
the government to better, advance and en-
courage agricultural interests. :. On motion
of MIR. Booth, the Senate proceeded to con-
slider the House bill making appropra ions
Tor the payment Of naval and other pensions
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1880. The
bill was passed. On motion OF Mr.. VOORHEES,,
the Senate took up the resolution offered by
him tor the appointment OF committee to
investigate the causes of the emigration OF
negroes from the Southern to the Northern
States. Mr.. Voorhees, said he thought the
amendment proposed by Mr.. Window, in
stlucting the committee to inquire whether it
was advisable Tor the government to provide
separate territories Tor the negroes, where
they could exercise their constitutional rights,
was at least premature. Mr.. Window replied
that there was q portion of the Indian Terri
tory that could be set apart tor the negroes,
and SUCH cession would be practical solu-
ton OF the question. After further discussion
Mr.. WINDOWS amendment was rejected by a
vote of Is to 25. After further remarks the
resolution was modified so as to omit special
refei ence to North Carolina and Indiana, and
accepted an amendment by Mr. Window, and
the resolution was then adopted by a vote OF
n to IL. Adjourned.
