ne motioned me to halt and be quiet.
He was too late, however, for made
some remark on catching glimpse of
him. The next moment l heard a
sound as of the Tapping of mighty
pinions, and two eagles sailed above
us.
Their first sweep WAS over the whirl-
pool, and, what have never observed
before in such flights, they flew almost
side by side. In the course of a few
seconds they hung above us once more,
when the hunter, now directly beneath
them, took aim and fired. One seemed
to hang perfectly still in the air, but
there was wild and convulsive move
ment on the part of the other. The
latter | supposed TO have been the
wounded one. but the hunter assured
me | was mistaken, as it was the other
that was hurt mortally, and was COM
ing down gradually. AID now began a
drama in the air, so touching that |
never shall forget it. The bird that
had not been touched flew about her
wounded mate In such seeming agony.
and with such a show of affection that
| could have wept for her. Although
she could not but perceive US, she
seemed to disregard our proximity j;
and the hunter was now too much
moved himself to take advantage Of
the fact
Soon some heavy drops of blood fell
at my feet, and in few minutes the
vanquished monarch of the air reached
the earth within a yard of me. When
he saw us he tried to gather up his
dropping plumage and regain his feet,
but he was too weak to accomplish
either; although in his last throes he
eyed us with SO fierce and defiant a
glare that felt much relieved when he
fell forward and expired with feeble
scream.
In the meantime the hunter had re-
loaded his rifle, and | was now scarcely
sorry that he was bringing it to bear
upon the solitary mate ofhis sad trophy
that sat listlessly close by. There was
a ringing noise, and she fell dead to the
earth with dull, heavy thud. There
was no CLEAN of triumph in the eve of
the hunter for, as he gazed on both
the noble creatures, recently so full Of
life and vigor, he said, mournfullv, 81

Poison i'm Canned Goods

If, rs Is alleged by certain chemists,
poison exists III appreciate quantities
III most canned goods, and especially
in canned fruits, it is time that the fact
should be generally known, instead of
being known only to the elect If the
chemists, on the other hand, are mis-
taken, that also ought to he demon
strated, 50 that no needless panic may
arise on account of unfounded asser-
tions. The canning of fruits, meats
and fish constitutes and industry of
great extent and importance in this
country, and if false reports are per-
mitted to pass unchallenged, bv which
1t was made to appear that canned edi-
bles are dangerous to consumers, the
result Will be in q short time to para
lyze the industry, and deprive people of
very desirable convenience in the way
of foods. But if poison is contained in
the articles thus prepared, the sooner
the work of canning for the table Is
stopped the better it will be,
The New York Medical Record of last
week complies from the London Lance
the glst of report made by Otto Heb
ner, of the Royal Institute of Chemis-
try, in which that chemist claims to
have tested the contents of tin cans
containing vegetables, meats of all
kinds, fish, Holsters and fruits, "All
of the samples examined contained
more or less TIM" though the quantity
varied from a little more than grain
i'll pound of condensed milk to about
six grains in the same quantity of soup,
nearly eight grains in oysters and from
thirty to forty-tive grains i'll the canned
vegetables. The action of the contents
Of the cans in decomposing the tin may
result in the production of stannous
hydrate or stannic hydrate The for
mer production is poisonous, but not
the latter. Mr.. Hehner's conclusion.
however, is that the csnded goods are
more likely to have the stannous than
the stannic form. The Record adds that
the experiments made to test the
character of the tin salts were meagre
and insufficient, and that the chemists
statements about the form of tin pre-
vailing in the specimens examined
were rather indefinite.
This certainly ought to be the case.
MIR. Hehner is an analytical chemist Of
reputation, and what he had to say
in relation to the probable deleterious
effects of articles of food preserved in
cans should have been explicit and to
the point. As it is, he has said just
enough to arouse fears, but not enough
to indicate what articles among canned
goods are to be avoided, if any, and
what may still be safely used. Such
things are of the utmost importance.
Very few people are willing to take
poison at all, and hardly any one de-
sires to receive it unawares. The ques-
ton of the disintegration OF tin by the
contents of food cans is one that ought
to be cleared up thoroughly and
promptly.

ALICE GARLAND'S FATE.
Mystery of Hatf Century Cleared
Up at Last.

Inc Canadian papers say news from
the Northwest Territory is to the fol-
lowing effect: An old and well-known
Indian, who had just died, before his
death made confession which entire
" cleared up what had been mystery
for full half century Fifty years
ago Nicholas Garland, a pioneer, took
tract of land situated in what is now
the township of Beckwith, in the coun-
of Lanark, built cabin on it, and
proceeded to clear away the dense for
est standing upon the tract. At that
time he had wife and one small child,
very pretty little girl, named Alice.
One day Alice did not return from the
edge of the clearing, where she had
been playing with two other children.
An alarm was raised, and all the woods
men In the country thereaboat joined
IN search, which lasted for many days,
but resulted in no clew to the missing
| child, and the general verdict arrived
at by the hunters was that Alice had
been carried off and devoured by one
| OF the bears with which the country
then abounded. The conclusion seemed
to be corroborated by the discovery of
some clean, small bones few months
afterward in deep hollow couple of
miles from Garland's cabin. They were
gathered carefully together and buried
by the father and mother of Alice near
their home. All the people for miles
around attended the funeral, which
was the first ever held in that section
| by the whites. The loss of her child
and the terrible strain of the long sus-
pense and the CHASTITY discovery sub
sequently broke down the strong con-
s.itutlon of Mrs. Garland, and she died
with a broken heart not long after the
funeral. Mr.. Garland, after his wife's
death, became hard and ascetic, never
referred to his trouble, never associated
with his neighbors, and has ever since
lived hermit in the cabin he first
built. This old Indian who died yes
terday, however, says that he saw Alice
on that day, when she was playing
with her companions on the clearing,
became fascinated with her childish
beauty and carried her away and
raised her as one of his own family.
When she became manageable she
was thoroughly Indianized, and her
abductor managed to have her married
to one OF his own sons. She is now
living i'll Bruce county, and is mother
of large family. She has never shown
that she had any recollection of her
parents or home, and appears to be
happy. The dying Indian said that so
well had she been cared for that he be-
lleved that no one could have con-
WINGED her of her real origin or in
duced her to change her lot, and he
added that no one but himself and the
son who married her was ever made
acquainted with her history. The story
IS believed to be true, and causes
| profound sensation.

Society" not less than the political
fraternity, is expressing more or less
concern about the semi-official an
nouncement from Washington that the
president reserves Saturdays and Sum

departure, in some respects, from the
prevailing rule, or rather the absence
of any rule at the executive mansion
during preceding administrations, that
the president, so far as the politicians
