Women are far too economical in the

they are absolutely stingy. II mothers

be expected of the children? No one

pleasant words daily, and to avoid evil
communication. Idle gossip should
never influence you in your treatment
of persons. Learn its source, learn its
truth, and then be governed Ivy good

fine powers of conversation in speak

How the Eagles Get Their Dinner.

A gentleman who has lately been
cruising through the Powder river val
ley tells an interesting tale in regard
to the manner in which the eagles con-
trive to catch sage hens. These birds,
like all the grouse family, fly with
great swiftness and, in stern chase,
an eagle is not in it at all with one of
them. In order that the eagle may
dine on sage hen, some hard work is
necessary, and the eagle has solved
the problem. AS the gentleman was
driving along the side of a mountain,
he started a covey of sage hens, which
flew away down toward the valley.
Suddenly an eagle, which had been
sitting on the low ground, rose up I'M
der the birds, which Immediately rose
up high in the air, while the eagle
Topped up after them. When they hnd
risen high enough, another eagle
swooped down from above. The ter
rified birds scattered in all directions,
but the eagle singled out one, and, as
an eagle on the swoop goes like shot
out of gun, he soon seized the bird
and the pair flew off to neighboring
cliff to dine. This scheme, it is claimed
shows that the eagle has the power of
reasoning. Portland Oregonian.

Ships boats, made of steel, without
seams or frames, and in all respects vast
improvement upon wood or metallic boats,
have been tried in various liners and cargo
steamers with greatest success. just as
pistons, back and front plates of locomo-
tive and marine boilers are stamped true
to gauge from plates Of mild steel, so are
these boats pressed out. There are by
draulic presses which carry dies and
stamps, SO that the shape produced is that
of one half of boat longitudinally. A
plate of thin Siemens-M Martin steel is placed
in the press and comes out shaped. 1t is
then placed alongside the opposite part
and the garboards and ends are riveted to
n bulb bar, which forms the stem, keel
and stern.
Another advantage which attends the
use of steel boats is that they are much
easier to pull or to sail, because the
wet surface is so much less, as is also
the skin friction, than is the case with
wooded boats. Weight for weight n small
wooden boat is rather lighter than steel
boat, but a first class ships lifeboat made
of steel is lighter than similar boat if
built of wood. Lastly, steel boats are
cheaper in the end.
! The boats are always available; they re
| quire no protection from and are unaffect
ed by the weather. Like all vessels bull
of steel, they require considerable atten
! ton to prevent oxidation, but this is easily
effected with the ordinary appliance OF
board ship, and providing proper care il
used steel boat, as steel hull, will las
for years. Shipping World.
