The way in which monkeys catch
land crabs Is described by a sports
man who made an expedition TO the
iungles around Singapore. and there
enjoyed sport which makes the CO.

fences pale into insigniticance. The
monkey lies down fiat on his stomach
feigning death. From the countless
passages piercing the mud In every di-
rection, thousands Of little red and
yellow crabs soon make their appear

few minutes the brown fur OF the
monkey, they slowly and cautiously

prospect OF a big feed of the bones OF
Master Jocko. The latter peeps

To Measure speed ON a Train.

Several veteran railroad men were
seated In the smoking compartment
OF Pullman car. A discussion arose
as TO the rate OF speed they were
travelling One OF the party guessed
that the train was going over forty
eight miles an hour. another esti-
mated the speed at forty-hve miles.
another ut fifty. and so on. Finally.
one OF the men took out his watch.
held IL in his hand less than half a
minute, looking at IL steadily all the
while.
I'VE are going forty-six and one
half miles an hour he said, looking
up from his watch. One OF the other
men thereupon took out his watch.
held IL In the palm OF his hand and
kept his eyes riveted upon the dial,
never once looking out OF the
window. After the lapse OF half a
minute he looked up and said that
they were travelling at tho rate OF
forty-seven miles an hour.
How can you tell the rate OF speed
by simply looking at your watchP"
inquired AN interested witness OF these
proceedings.
why, easy enough replied the
railroad man. You know every
time that car passes a rail-joint there
Is q distinct click. just count the
number OF these clicks In twenty sec

miles the train Is going per hour.
This Is simple matter OF arithmetic.

l.. T.. Newton. 10th N. Y. Cav, says
that Immediately after the battle Of
Cold Harbor, in June. 1864. his regi-
ment was on picket near Bottoms
Bridge. The rebels had possession of
the bridge, and about 8 In the even
ing considerable noise was heard by
the advanced post, and the writer was
ordered by Capt. Vanderbilt 10 take
two men and go as near the bridge as
possible TO ascertain the cause OF the
noise. Kinney and Ellsworth we're
selected, and they proceeded as near
20 the bridge as was thought safe.
The writer's horse became uneasy and
began 10 champ his bit, making much
noise. He gave him a sudden jerk
which broke the bit, and the horse
started on n run toward the bridge, a
short distance away. and he found
that he was going right into rebellion
without an escort He put his left
arm around his horses neck, reached
forward with his right hand and
grasped the horse by the nose. and
giving him sudden pull turned him
completely around. so that he went
the other way II was none too soon,
for he heard the command 10 halt
from the bridge. Another danger
then presented itself. that OF being
shot by our own men. as he could not
stop. Every post he passed cried out
10 halt and all he could do was 10 yell
Don't shoot!" They passed on 20
the reserve. and the writer's horse
ran In among the other horses and
stopped. much 10 his satisfaction.

Grant was strongly opposed TO this
policy. and after Appomattox sent
Sheridan with an army to the lower
Rio Grande TO observe the movements
OF the foreigners and TO be In readi-
ness TO intervene whenever Congress
gave permission.
An orderly woke the colonel soon
after daylight one morning and urged
him TO go down 10 the bank OF the
river. as something remarkable was GO
ing on there. The colonel did so, and
had the qualification OF seeing COM
bait could hardly be called battle
between the national troops, the
adherents OF Juarez. and the Mexicans
who were serving under the banner
OF Macmillan and who were In pos
session OF Matamoras. The object OF
the Juarez troops was. OF course, 10
drive tho enemy from Matamoras and
hold the place, as. owing TO its prox-
unity to the United States forces. IL
was very important point. Each
side seemed TO be fortified, and was
engaged in a contest at long range
which was neither very exciting nor
destructive. The next morning the
orderly came again to wake the col
onel, and assured him that he would
see some genuine fighting. The col
onel hurried down To the bank, and
and there he saw the Juarez men leave
their intrenchments. advance with
the utmost intrepidity, storm the
works at Matamoras, and drive the
adherents OF Macmillan through the
town and far beyond out into the open
country. OF course Sheridan could
not send force TO the other side OF
the river without the authority OF
Congress and the War Department.
That would have been an unheard-o
proceeding. What he did do wdS 10

far as Matamoras was concerned. -

a cougar scream on one OF the ridges,
and this one was answered by another
on the opposite ridge. They kept
working toward the head, until they
finally came together some 800 yards
above him in some quaking aspen;

made he had never heard before.

Capturing a bald Eagle.

One day recently William Skinner,
OF Tamalco. H.. and his dogs had a
lively encounter with an immense
bald eagle. The bird alighted on n
dead limb. which gave way under its
weight, precipitating IL TO the ground
before IL could recover itself for flight.
SINNERS dogs Immediately set upon
IT, and for few minutes the air was
filed with howls OF the dogs and the
shrieks OF the eagle as the queer com
batants rolled over tile ground in rage
and pain, cloud OF intermingled hair
and feathers lowering over them. Be
fore it could be determined with
whom the victory would rest, Skinner
came up, and by well-directed blow
stunned the monarch OF the sky into
complete insensibility. While in this
condition the eagle was placed in a
big coop, where he very soon re-
covered his normal condition and de-
veloped voracious appetite, which
latter Skinner. appeases only in part
by throwing the bird a live chicken
daily.
The bird is particular about his
diet, rejecting dead animals OF all
kinds and live rabbits. and eating
only live chicken. which he picks
clean before devouring. requiring
only minute for the operation, and
the way he makes the feathers fly Is a
curiosity that brings the neighbors
TO his cage for miles around.

He got lost from his regiment while
moving from Shiloh towards Corinth.
and was with the brigade composed OF
the 9TH. 50th. 57th H., and 22d Ohio
until IL reached Monterey. where they
met Sherman. and after that he was
TO be found first in one regiment and
then in another. Frank was natural
born soldier. small for his age. and a
regular daredevil. He had mania
OF getting outside and foraging on his
own account. at times. too, when IL
was dangerous 90 send out foraging
party. He was known 10 have left
our army on three or four different oc-
casions, made his way inside the rebel
lines, remaining there from one TO four
days and returning safe and sound. He
was great favorite with Grant, and
on more than one occasion rendered
him valuable service. After the war
Frank went West. and under the train
ing OF old Sol Johnson, noted scout,
soon made "a record. and from the fact
OF his being so expert with the Win
chester rifle he became known as
Winchester Frank He was a
great Indian hater, and il is on record
that he attacked single-handed party
OF eight Sioux who had abducted the
wife OF settler. killing five and put
ting the other three To fight, as well
as rescuing the wife. In time he be-
came attached to Clusters command

confidence In him, and relied much
on his experience. He went into the
affair OF the Little Big Horn with Gus

men who escaped from that massacre
he was one. He managed TO grab
the stirrup attached TO the saddle OF a
horse as it ran by him, which so
frightened the animal that he dashed

for three or four miles. When he
stopped, Frank was SO bruised and
exhausted that he lay on the ground
