The First Fuchsia In England.

Mr.. Lee, a nsrseryman of Hammer
smith, in 1883, was the first TO obtain
and increase this plant for sale, and
the traditional account Of his good
fortune in the matter may interest
some of those who 10Y admire the

Mr.. Alexander Shaw, farmer, Old
town Stratherick, was going his usual
rounds to look after his sheep. While
going past "A small clump of birch
wood among very long heather, he
fancied he heard a peculiar tlutter
among the bushes.
He took little notice, but the noise
being repeated, he went 10 see what
was ado. He found two golden eagles
fighting, firmly fixed in each other
with bedk and talons.
On his approaching. n of the birds
noticed the intrusion and let go his
hold. The other held his opponent
fast in his talons. Mr.. Shaw then got
up quite close and got hold of one Of
them. He put his foot oil the other
ones neck.
He searched his pockets and found
a little bit Of string, Just enough TO
tie one of the eagles. While he was
tying the one he kept he let the other
one off.
The bird was not able 10 take fight
for considerable time after being set al
liberty, being much done out with the
fight. The other one, which Nh. Shaw
took home. docs not seem to be any
the worse.
What seems most strange is that the
eagles are seldom or never seen SO low
down the country. My belief is that
they must have been fighting for a
long time in the skies, the one having
been pursuing the other till they fixed
in each other and dropped.-Rod and

Don't sleep In the Fields.

The habit in country parts Of stretch
ing ones self out on the ground for the
purpose Of taking a nap is common
enough in the summer time; but from
a case that is reported from a village
in the Dordogne, in France, a nap on
the grass is not unattended with dan
ger. A farmer residing near the vii
lage, tired with the heat of the day and
with his work, recently laid himself
down 10 rest beneath the shade Of an
oak tree ia a meadow. He was sud
denly aroused from his repose by a
sharptwinge of pain in oneof his ears,
the pain increasing TO such an extent
that before the poor fellow reached
his home lie was half beside himself.
For several days he suffered the
greatest agony, which neither doctors
nor the remedies they prescribed could
allay, and the patient was brought to
such a pass that he made up hIs mind
that he must die. Ii CHANGED. how.
ever, that a neighbor had the felici.
tons idea, as the sequel proved, Of
pouring a little turpentine into las ear,
the immediate effect Of which was -
make the patient fall back inseusible
On his pillow. On recovering con
sclousu, , he remarked that heeNpcri.
enced u strange feeling Of relief, the
cause or which was soon explained by
the exit FROM his ear of an enormous
worm which had taken up its quarters
