Height of an Eagles Flight.

The imperial eagle, the largest of
the species known, flies to height of
from ten thousand to fifteen thousand
feet. 1t is a native of South America
and its habitat is among the lofty
mountains of that country. Its power
of flying to high attitudes is only ex-
ceeded by the condor of the Andes,
which is said to have attained the
height of six miles, or within one mile
of the greatest height ever attained by
balloon. The eagle sails in the air
at heights ranging from three to five
miles, and when seen to soar upward
by an observer on the earths surface
disappears from sight in about three
minutes. Brooklyn Eagle.

A CURIOUS CHARACTER.
Eli Ragsdale, the Hawaiian Parlia-
mentary Interpreter.


mentary Interpreter.
During the early years of Kalakaua's
reign and for some years preceding a
half white called bill" Ragsdale was
the official interpreter in the elective
branch of the Hawaiian parliament.
Ragsdale had a great natural aptitude
for acquiring languages, and it was
told of him that when he visited a
French man-of-war the officers would
not believe he had not been educated
in Paris, and that the German navy
officers wanted to bet that he had been
educated from infancy in Berlin. He
was quicl1-witted, eloquent, fop in
dress, and as citizen q good-for-
naught His official duties required
him to interpret the speeches of the
natives into English and the speeches
of the foreigners into Hawaiian. The
latter was necessary, as many OF the
native members from districts remote
from Honolulu and Hilo had little
knowledge of any language but their
own. The former duty, turning the
natives speeches into English, was sell
dom necessary, as the foreign members
were, naturally, men who had been on
the islands long enough to master the
simple and easily acquired native Ian
guage! But it was duty Ragsdale
loved and its performance was a source
of constant delight to the foreign mem
bers and spectators. His method was
to interpret every two or three SEN
fences, and he would sometimes suave-
ly interrupt native struggling in an
impossible labyrinth of gutturals and
leave him there, in speeehless amaze
ment, while he launched into an clio,
quent address on the beauties Of q

equally unrelated subject Or gray

A Word That Needs Changing.

How much better it would be if the
past tense of the verb Tread" could be
changed to red" The verb read"
would then form the past tense (''red'O
analogously with the verb lead" and
that tense, as in the case of ''les d."
would then be spelled as it is pro-
nounced, red" When a person is
reading aloud and comes to the word
''read," he is often unable to tell
whether it should be pronounced reed"
Or 'red," and after mispronouncing it
freed" when it should be pronounced
'red," or vice versa, he is obliged, after
getting into the midst Of a SEN
tence, to go back and set him
self right Take, for example, the
following sentence and nobody can
tell, when he reaches the word
read" whether it should be pro-
nounced creed" or red" '"Those who
read Sir Walter Scott's novel of Ed
ward Waverley' when it first appeared
did not know by whom it was written"
In this example read" is to be pro-
nounced "red," but nobody would know
this till reaching a subsequent part of
the sentence and the reader is just as
apt to mispronounce it reed" as to
give it the correct pronunciation OF
''red." In the sentence given as an ex-
ample the reader learns soon after
passing the word ''read" how it should
be pronounced, but in many cases one
has to proceed quite a distance after
reaching the word before the context
shows how it should be pronounced
