AN EAGLES AFFECTION.

The great American bird Is under every
condition bird altogether, but it usually
focks alone on the Wood River, because its
mates are as scarce M lady partners Mt
programme ball. That eagles are birds of
prey is established by various stories in
school readers, where they are shown to have
carried of into mid air children, lambs and
other food ten times their own weight, and
disappear with them into dim space toward
the submits Of the mountains, where they
store their grub for Winter feasts. The
largest birds of the eagle species are found in
the Wood River Mountains, and yet no mules
nor cows nor people have ever been carried
away by them. The eagles Of this country
have often been known to omit devouring
weakly rabbits and squirrels and to have
shown almost human kindness. An event
which occurred ten days since at Fosters
ranch, above Haley fully establishes this
trait Of the Wood River variety. One of the
ranchers saw huge eagle futter over the
barnyard interested in fat turkey, and he
Immediately secured his rifle. The first
shot broke the eagles wing, and in its Grip
pied condition II wobbled and Topped
around, uttering screams Of pain. The man
was watching the result before firing again,
when he discovered another eagle coming
from distance. 1: was evidently mate Of
the first one. Like an arrow it few TO the
rescue, and examining the wound and seeing
It's mate could not escape, 1t took hold of ii
by Its claws and beak and flew 10 the moun-
tain side, where IL laid down the victim OF
the sportive hunter. During the past seven
days the men on Fosters ranch have no.

the wounded bird regularly, and Is yet feed.

MICE Mr.. Foster could kill the two birds
any day, but has refrained on account of
tho affection displayed between them. A
small American flag will be fastened about
the wounded bird, and when 1t again flies it

PETS OF THE LOWER LEVELS.
Ono Place ON Earth Where the Rat In Held
In High Favor.

Old miners have great respect for the
rats of tho lower levels. They neither kill
the rats nor suffer them to be killed by green
hands. Rats give warning when cave Ia
about to occur They feel the pressure of
the settling ground even before the cracking
Of the timbers is heard and come forth upon
the floors and sealnper uneasily about by
scores In nearly every mine the men have
one or more of the little animals MS pets, md
these are qnite tame, coming out OF their
holes to be fed nj lunch time.
When rats come into new drift or cross
cut il is considered n good sign-is Thought
TO mean that the men will strike ore. The
other day, while the men were Mt work in
the face Of the new west crosscut on the
g 700 level OF the Sierra Nevada mine, rat
came in TO them, travelling along the line of
the compressed mir pipe. When the little
rodent was seen some of the new hands
wanted to kill it, but the old miners would
not allow il to be hurt They sad II world
bring luck to the crosscut. so they fixed
up in the roof of the drift box M a house
for the rat and placed food near at hand, In
order that il might find its new quarters
profitable as well as comfortable - Virginia

HOW TO USE THE EYES.

There is no other sense to which people
trust SO much as to sight, yet there are few
who have ever taken any special pains to
improve the faculty of observation. In all
cases of exciting events, witnessed by many
persons, II is astonishing to note the wide
variations in the stories of the incidents told
by those present This is due principally
to the faulty observation of the spectators.
Details are confused in their minds because
they have not learned to use their eyes prop
erly. 1t is true that some persons have great
natural gifts of observation, while others
seem unable to fix matters upon their men,
ories in their true relation to each other.
Thus, for example, almost any one, passing
group Of animals in field, can distin-
guish three, four or five without counting
them. Even when whirled past in a rail-
road car most persons can glance at very
small number of objects and be instinctively
able to tell just how many there are. But
as the number increases the attention must
be more and more fixed and the mind
strained to take in y the exact number at a
glance, until, beyond certain point few
observers can be accurate in their apprecia-
ton of the objects they have merely flashed
their eyes over. Yet this accuracy is of
great value to people in all the affairs of
life, and often matters of the gravest import
depend wholly upon the impressions that
have been left ON casual spectators by n
series of events II is manifest that mind
trained to note all that the eye mechanically
sees has great advantage over one which
gathers only vague picture, in which, even
when all the features are present, cause and
effect IRE inextricably confused.
1t is an old story that Robert Hopdin used
TO cultivate his powers of observation while
walking rapidly along the boulevards of
Paris by selecting shop window and not
Ing in his mind the objects displayed therein.
Constant practice enabled him to remember
every object in the most varied displays
after one rapid glance he passed on the
run. Probably it is not every one who can
become Robert Houdin, but any one can
cultivate the powers of observation far be-
yond their original capacity.

MoTHER-oF-PEAnL.

This beautiful material, which is SO much
used in many kinds of artistic productions,
, chiefly obtained from the pearl oysters
which are found in the Gulf of California, at
Panama and Colagua, at Ceylon and NADIA
gascar, at the Swan River in Manila, and at
the Society Islands. The black Tipped mus
sells from Manila bring the best prices. The
Society Islands produce the silver Tipped
mussels, and Panama the so-called "Bul-
lacks. +"
The peculiar and varied tints and colors
exhibited by mother-of-pearl are due to the
structure Of the surface, which is covered
with innumenble fine plates often several
thousand to the inch--which break up the
rays of light falling on it, and reflect 1t in
different tints The oyster pearl has a
lamellar structure, and can actually be split
off in scales, but they are very rarely divid-
cd in this way, as there is always danger Of
destroying it, In working mother-of-pearl,
says Weeks Illustrated Art Journal the
saw, file, and polishing stone play the prin-
cipal parts. A mussel shell is selected that
is covered with the peculiar peariy substance
to such q thickness as is necessary far the
work in hand.
The square or angular pieces are sawed
out with a small saw, the piece being held
in the hand or clamped in a wise. Buttons
and similar round pieces are cut with
crown saw attached to spindle. All the
tools employed in working mother-of- pearl
must be kept continually moist to prevent
their sticking fast. The pieces are general
ly shaped ON a polishing stone, the rim of
which must be ribbed to avoid daubing and
smearing The stone, of course, must be
kept wet while In use; a weak soapsuds
works better than water alone. When the
pieces have been brought to the proper
shape ON the stone, they are then polished
with pumice and water. In many cases il
is well to shape the piece of pumice so as to
fit the form of the article to be polished, and
then the latter can be fastened to a handle
and rotated in lathe. 1t is afterward pol
ished with finely powdered pumice on a cork
or wet rag, while the final polishing is done
with English tripoli, noistened with dilute
sulphuric acid. The acid brings out the
structure of the pearl very beautifully. In
many articles IL is necessary to use emery
before the tripoli is applied, and then en-
ploy oil instead of acid. Knife and razor
handles have the holes bored in them after
they are cut in the proper shape, and are
then lightly r;vered together, polished on
the stone, and finished as before described.

MY LESSON.


Iscattered some seeds, one Winter morn;
simple handful on top of the snow;
My heart was light With bit of song,
And quiet faith that the seed would grow.
The scoffers laughed as scoflers will
Oh, their breath, more blighting than Natures
cold
They said my sowing would come TO naught,
No harvest could spring from frozen mold
My hope was bright, for knew beneath
Its mantle OF snow the earth was warm,
And a yielding soil could catch the germ
or future flower and a fragrant form.
waited long, for the season dragged
But courage and sunlight conquer all
And an April blessing came at last
And showed me a flower from the rootlct
small.
And oh the sweetness that filled Its cup,
And warm, soft tints of Its petals, rare !
More precious than any the garden held
Was this dear reward OF my loving care.
/ find my lesson here. Some hearts
Seem barren, and frozen, and covered with
snow;
Drop O seed OF love for the soil beneath,
Some flower may blossom and thrive ano
grow. .

THE Lost HEART.

A trinket made like heart, desr,

Was given tome for a keepsake,
Was given to me--for mine.
And another heart, warm and tender
AS true as heart could be;
And every throb that stirred IL,
Was always and ali for me.
Sailing over the water,
Watching the far blue land,
dropped my golden heart, dear,
Dropped 1t out OF my handl
1t lies In the cold blue waters,
Fathoms and fathoms deep,
The golden heart that promised
Promised to prize and keep.
Gazing at llfe's bright visions,
So false and fair and new,

Forgot it--and lost 1t, too.

might seek and seek In vain,
And for one short, ceaseless hour.
