& Tamo Eagle that Worries
Dogs.

Some three months ago, while
hunting in the mountains east of the
Twelve-mile house, Mr. Burlington
captured young American eagle.
AT the time the bird was quite small
and from appearances but few
weeks old. Mr.. Burlington has his
pet confined in the back yard of his
shop, and the many and curious mon
keyshincs INDUCED in by the noun
tain bird are really amusing. Meas
uring some eight feet from tip to tip
and weighing forty pounds, with tai
ons three inches in length, there is
but small chance for any dogs residing
in the neighborhood. For as sure as
canine makes It's appearance, the
eagle spreads his heavy wings, and
with a loud scream he lights upon the
back d the te.ror-striekcn dog. TIE
scene that follows is one of great IN.
,c.cst. The dog, without futher no.
lice, darts through the SIDE gate and
ont Tito the street, with the eagle
attached to his back, and that too in
manner to stay. Down the street
he goes ut breakncck speed. At a
distance OF about two blocks the eagle
bids the dog ~ attcctionatc alden and
| quietly returns, rs though nothing had
happened. The same experiment is
gone through with whenever the dog
can be procured. 1t does not seem
necessary TO remark that dogs Of any
description are seldom seen in that
part Of the town, and the same dog
never more than once.-San Jose
Mercury.

Inebriated Apes.

The learned author OF The Descent
OF Man, in noticing that the animals
often suffer from the diseases that af-
fiict ourselves, might have added
that, IN some cases, they are not free
from our vices also. According to n
recent letter from Darfur, in Africa.
the monkeys of that region are inor-
dinately fond of q kind of beer made
by the natives who use the beverage
to capture their simial poor relations.
Having placed quantities of the beer
where the monkeys can get It, the
natives wait until their victims are in
various degrees Of inebriation, and
when they then mingle with them the
poor creatures are too much fuddled
TO recognize the differences between
negro and ape. When the negro
takes the hand OF one OF them to lead
him OFT some other fond creature
clings to the hand of the latter one,
another TO his hand, and thus single
negro may sometimes be seen carry
ing OF a string Of staggering mon
keys. When secured the beer is adj
ministered in decreasing quantities,
go that they may only gradually awak-
en- TO the sad results of their spree.

HEaolsM OF A CoLoRED MAN
The attempted rescue Of boy ten
years old from drowning at Atlantic
City on Wednesday OF last week by
on unknown colored man deserves 10
be commemorated as a piece of I'M
selfish heroism, he lost his life in
the generous but futile efforts to save
the drowning boy. 1t appears that
