A Eagle and Salmon.

Tho common eagle is bird Of won
derfully keen sight. At a height Of
eighty yards it can see grass mouse or
stoat, and having once located its
prey, II will swoop down with the speed
OF an arrow, and rise with the victim in
its claws.
Mr.. Samuel Wilmot, the superintend-
ent of the Canadian fish hatcheries at
Newcastle, Ontario, Canada, told me the
following story about an eagle A pair
of eagles built their nest near our house
well up in large pine tree year in and
year out for many seasons. One autumn
the cold weather set in earlier than
usual, and the smooth parts of the
stream that ran by our house were frozen.
But the eagles still remained in the big
pine, save when they flew abroad for
food. One morning, as sat at the win
dow looking in the direction of the
pines, | noticed one of the birds leave
the tree and poise directly above a rough
part of the river which was not frozen.
Then he went down like bolt, and dis.
appeared under the water. watched
with great interest to see what he would
fetch-watched one two, three, four
seconds, but he did not appear. This
was something so unusual that became
intensely interested. l stood at the
window for half minute watching
where the bird had disappeared, and
then, sure that something had happened
to him, snatched my hat and ran down
to where lay my little boat. After some
difficulty l managed to get it into the
open water, and then po'ed to the spot
where the eagle had gone under. Look
ing down, saw the bird, his wings
partly extended, and held fast to the
bottom in some unaccountable way.
With a graphing hook drew him out
Judge of my surprise when there came
to the surface, beside the eagle, an enor-
nous salmon. 1t was for this splendid
prize that the eagle had made this
plunge. OF course he had buried his
strong sharp talons in the side of the
fish, but when he wanted to rise he
could not lift his prey. Neither could he
withdraw his talons from the salmon's
side, and so had perished. The fish
weighed triile over thirty pounds

The Apple. .Tree Rorer.

The Country Gentleman gives this ad-
vice to subscriber who asks for recipe
for destroying the apple-tree borer:
The apple.tree borer may be prevented
from entering the trees to greater ex
tent by the use of alkaline washes Soft
soap reduced to the consistence of thick
paint by the addition of strong solu
tion of washing soda, applied to the bark
OF the tree late in May or early in June,
aud again in July, will dry in few hours
on warm day, aud will exclude the in.
sect more or less from laying its eggs.
The same effect will be produced bv
making a mound of fresh manure around
the base of the stem, eight or ten inches
high, or even of earth, bus if done later
in the season these preventive remedies
will be of little use after the eggs arc
deposited in the bark After the insects
have obtained possession, and their pres
ence is shown by the sawdust-like cast
ings, clear their openings with the point
OF knife, and punch them to death
with flexible wire or small slender
twig. After some experience, an active
hand will go over hundreds in day,

Effects of whisky.

Colonel bob" Ingersoll probably never
made so great mistake as that glowing
eulogy on whisky which ho wrote about a
year ago, and which we now again repro
duce:
IL send you some Of the most wonderful
whisky that ever drove the skeleton from a
feast or painted landscapes i'm the brain of
man. IL is the mingled souls of wheat and
corn. In it you will find the sunshine and
shadow that chase each other over the bill.
lowy fields, the breath of June, the carol OF
the lark, the dews of the night, the wealth Of
summer, and autumn $ rich content-all gold.
EN- with imprisoned light Drink it, and
you Will hear the voice of men and maidens
singing the Harvest Home mingled with
the laughter OF children Drink it, and You
will feel within your blood the star-,it dawns
the dreamy, tawny dusks of many perfe
days For forty years this liquid joy has
been within the happy slaves of oak, longing
to touch the lips of man.
The objection to this is that, after makius
all due allowance for the exaggerations Of
poetry, it gives a radically misleading i'm
preston as to the social value of even very
old whisky. II whisky produced the effects
which Colonel "Bobn ascribes to it, it would
undoubtedly, be the best gift bestowed by
Providence on suffering, toiing humanity.
But, unfortunately, it does not produce these
effects on any, or on more than very few at
all events Ii may possibly cause some to
hear the voice OF men and maidens singing
the Harvest Home mingled with the
laughter of children But what the great
majority of people hear when they take it in
sufficient quantity to be affected by it, is the
voice of men swearing at maidens, and the
yels of children under the application of the
pate nal poker and tongs In truth it effects
different people in different ways. Some il
makes hilarious and others morose. Some
can take n good deal without feeling it,
while others are upset 10y a mouthlul of it,
lt was extremely rash of the Co onel to pre-
dict to any particular individual what its
effects on him would be. Very likey its
principal effect on his friend was to make
him feel within his blood simply passionate

A Freak Of Nature.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is responsible
for the following story from Stoverton,
Ohio: "a most remarkable freak of
nature is reported from the farm of
George Sevingle, who lives near this
place. He has among a flock of sheep a
lamb over two months old which has
the nose and feet of a dog, but is IN all
other respects a sheep. Instead of hav.
ing the ordinary teeth of the sheep kind
the animals mouth, both upper and
lower jaws, is filed with long and sharp
wolf-lilSe fangs, rendering it extremely
difficult to pick grass like the other
sheep. consequently it prefers to chew
and masticate twigs and shrubs. II is
regarded as one of the greatest curiosi-
ties ever seen in this neighborhood,"

The Care of Growing Crafts.

Even before CRAFTS open their buds,
says "An Old CRATER" in the New York
Tribune, there will be found other shoots
issuing from the stock below the graft.
The rising sap enters these channels
more readily than IN the somewhat
dried up cells of the graft, with the line
Of separation left 10y the knife to be
bridged over; and if the volunteer

its buds open, aud its amount Of growth
depends largely on its being protected
from its greedy competitors. In order
to secure its full growth and the proper
ripening of its wood, the wild shoots
should be rubbed off as soon as they first
show themselves and before they are in
leaf. To let them grow to some length
and then suddenly break them off is an
injurious violence-a shock to circula
tion and growth which is very apt to
prevent the full ripening of the new
wood in time to safely endure the trials
of the next winter.

MID Punishment for a Count.

The Comte de Villeneuve is a fortunate
person. he is a wine manufacturer at
HYeres and seems to have used considerable
quantities Of arsenic in the composition of

week he was tried at Toulon and found guilty

A specious Argument Refmted.

NJ de Flax asserts that nations with the
strongest vital powers, the greatest wealth
amount of alcohol; but the Temptrdnce
Record reminds him that, even if his state
ments were strictly correct, it would not
necessarily follow that the inhabitants of
those nations would be less healthy and
wealthy if they abstained entirely from
alcohol. The editor of the ReUue Scieatifgue
declares that "alcohol and alcoholism mean
the same thing at the present day, and alco-
holism is the plague and danger of our
spoch.n This effectually disposes of NJ. de
