A Fight With an Eagle.
Hartford Times.

The Winsted correspondent of the I'Smes writes that the people of Meek ertown are considerably agitated over an adventure which befell one of their residents last Friday afternoon. Meek ertown is little hamlet of about a dozen houses within the town of Nor- folk. The leading citizen of the set- clement is Richard Mcbride, sturdy farmer about 45 years old. MT. Mo Bride owns a house, barn and farm of about eighty acres. He is, therefore, deemed prosperous. He owns flock of sheep, and eleven young lambs. Last Friday four of the lambs were housed in the barn, and the door was standing open. The barn is some distance from the house, and at the base of densely wooded hill. About 4 o'clock MT. McB ride, who was in the vicinity of the barn, heard lambs bleatiDg in an unusual way. He rush. ed to the building, where a most remarkable sight met his eye. Hud- dled in one corner of the barn in abject terror were the lambs, and in front of them with Tapping wings and open beak was 8 huge bird. The bird, intent on his prey, did not notice MT. Mcbride, and continued to fly about the frightened animals, occasionally sweeping down at them and emitting low screech.
 Suddenly the blrd flew up as high as the barn roof, and then with shrill cry swooped down at the lambs, and with vicious thrust of his talons caught the smallest one by the back. MT. Mcbride sprang to the rescue, and the bird, for the first time noticing his presence, turned fiercely upon him. With it's beak the bird caught him by wrist, which he had put before him to ward off the attack. The sturdy farmer, recovering himself, hit the bird with his lett hand, but it did not mind the blow. With screams of rage, it continued Tapping it's wings and biting savsgely at MT. McBride's wrist. Finally MT. Mcbride picked up with his left hand wagon prop which was lying on the floor. He dealt the bird a blow with all his strength. This settled it. The bird at first appeared stunned, but after a moment, with another scream, flew out of the door and scared away to the woods.
 MT. Mcbride hastened to his home, where his injuries were attended to. His wrist bled freely, it being badly lacerated and swollen, his clothing being torn and his face being consider ably scratched. To Times represen- tative, who called on him and learned his story, he said he was confident that the bird was an eagle, and that it must have measured six feet from tip to tip Eagles have been seen in that vicinity before, but never of 80 large size.

A humorous friend said, "Give doctor g, and let him guess n It was cutting satire on some doc tors, who don't always guess right. You need not guess what ails you when your food don't digest, when your bowels and stomach are inactive, and when your head aches every day, and you are languid, and easily fa- tigued.

Liberated From Their Fetters

By the helpful, genial action of that most benefcent of aperients, Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, the bowels soon throw of the burden that paraly zed and weakened them, and resume their
 normal freedom of action. The action of the Bitters, unlike that of average purgatives, involves no gripping or drenching. If it did it would, like them, be valueless for ordinary use. There is nothing ungentle or unnatu- raj attending its operation. Upon the liver, no less than the bowels, it's &C.,
 tion is most benign, promoting a healthfal bilious secretion, and direct ing out of the wrong and into the right channel. Coniointly with cos-
 tiveness, other bilious symptoms dis
 appear when it is systematically used, and the stomach is strengthened as well as regulated by it. Malarial com- plaints, rheumatism, debility, nervous- ness and kidney troubles are com- pletely relieved by it. Sleep and ap- petite are invariably promoted by 1t.

Studying an Opera,
From Behind the Scehes of an opera House."
 by Gustave kobbe, in Scribner's.

From Behind the Scenes of an opera House."
 by Gustave kobbe, in Scribner's.
 The time occupied by an artist in learning part like the title role in "Siegfried" depends largely on the singers aptitude and conscientiousness. Herr Alvary. for instance, though he had learned the part with a view of appearing in 1t in January, 1887, spent the entire following summer in adding to his knowledge of it, and even had a forge built in his room.
 The chorus are supposed to know their parts by heart before the time set for the first chorus rehearsal. These rehearsals, some twenty in num- Der, are held under the direction of the chorus master. Then there are the ballet and some two hundred su- pers to drill. The ballet is regarded as having such inherent inconsistency and as being such an unnatural excres- cence on the action, that any effort to make it historically or locally correct is regarded as useless. It is supposed to exist merely for the sake of forming a pretty adjunct to a scene. There fore the dances and costumes must be pretty whether they be truthful or not. For instance, when the produc- tion of "Ferdinand Cortes" was under discussion no one for moment enter tained the idea that the faces of the dancers should be stained. Of course some discrimination is had in regard to the colors of the costumes, and there are tambourines for Spanish dan- cers, palm leaves for those of the Ori- ent, and bows and quivers, lances, clubs and tomahawks, for those of savage nations.
 When all know their parts, the stage Is at last given up to features of the productions other than the scenery. The work is performed with scenery, light effects, properties, chorus, ballet, and supers, but without the principals and orchestra, the solo repetiteur be- ing at the piano. There are two or three suchssarrangement" rehearsals for drill ing the chorus and supers in the stage "business." The rehearsals are fol- lowed by two in which the artists take part; the final test being the gen. eral rehearsal with orchestra. Then at last the workis ready for reproduction.
