Irish HNmC Nenr the Coast

The rain was still falling when Ballyna-
hinch was left behind; but on the moor to
tho left two witChlke figures werc seen, their
heads half wrapped in plaid shawls, their
limbs showing through wet, short skirts, and
their small red feet and legs flying from tuft
to tuft of the moss. They were native girls.
driving the small coal-black cattle of these
wild uplands, and the sight of the driver,
an ancient friend, Put them in the widest

were soon seated, laughing and singing,
brushing the wet from their tangled hair and
their hair from their red cheeks. but not for

the potecn they brew here in spite of all the
constahles; of good health, good humor, and
of that indescribable fragrance which comes
from living almost completely out of doors.
Presently we drew up before their own
home They seized various parcels coming
to them from Galway, and in a twinkling
they plunged into a comfortable looking
cabin of largo size like brace of colts, with
flourish of their red heels. The men and
boys of the family wore shoes; doubtless on
Sundays these same headlong lasscs turn out
as well shod as any in Connemara. A few
years hence these girls will be in the United
States puzziing an American mistress by

A crowd was gathered around the cage in
which the eagles are confined in Central park,
tho other day, watching few daring English
sparrows that were picking up the leavings of
tho eagles dinner. The eagles sat majestic
and silent upon the limbs of the make-believe
trees, as though lost in deep roveries. Sud
denly q vulture darted like fash of lightning
from one Of the upper perches and swooped
down upon one of our own bald heads with
Gendish screams. The bald head answered
with screams of terror and hastily retreated
into dark corner of the cage. The women
and children drew back from the cage in fear,
and even the men exhibited desire to he be-
You'd the reach of Sir Vultures sharp talons
The vulture stood silent on the bottom of
tho cage for moment, while tho other eagles
moved measily on their pcrcilcs. Then the
condor, who had been sitting on the highest
branch of ALL gave vent to a shrek almost as
deafening as the whistle of u locomotive, and
dropped down upon The vultuIr. In a moment
| feathers flew in every direction All the eagles
screamed in unison, and the little birds in the
| other cages crouched mute and trembling in
the corners.
A gray-coated park policeman who came
rushing to the cage shouted TO keeper, and
in moment tho man who has charge of the
| eagles came running up. He seized pail of
water from behind the care, and, getting as
close as possible TO the fighting birds, he
| douscd them with it. The effect was initan-
| taneous Tho fight was all gone cut of them,
| and they crawled away to different corners,
| dripping and detected. The condor had had
much the best of the fight. lie was bleeding
in only few places, while his opponent was
| covered with the sanguinary fluid
The eagles fight very hard sometimes, y
said the keeper to the reporter. "Water is
the only thing that will stop them, and even
that doesn't always work II they are very
hot We separate them with poles, and then
yank them into tank of water, where we

The condor is tho boss of the rooSt, and
none of the others care to dispute his suprem
acy. The vulturcs come next as fighters, and
the bald head is at the tail end of the list. The
vulturcs can't stand the cold weather though.
In winter we have to take them inside, while
the other eagles rather enjoy the cold.

1t is gratifying to note that the good fash
ion Of making the commencement Of girls
Catholic schools as private as possible finds
many followers this year. IL is very easy for
a school commencement to become merely an
opportunity for the qualification of the vanity
