A LOADED EAGLE.
For Weeks He Travelled With 8 Steel
 Trap on His Right Leg.

1Tap OH AAis NtSnI AeBs
 An eagle measuring seven feet from tip to tip and lugging with him as he flew a heavy steel trap was recently shot by H. Cooley division superintendent of the Southern Pacific.
 Mir. Cooley was hunting on Mount Shasta, near Sisson, Cal, when he saw Q big bird rise slowly from the ground. The bird was big enough to be an eagle, but his slow rate of flight did not agree with MT. Cooley's experience of the nature and characteristics of the eagle bird of freedom that looks at the sun and says, "Hal hap or words to that effect. However, he shot the thing and satisfied himself that it was an eagle, good deal hampered in his flight by heavy steel trap that had been snapped on the right leg of the bird where it hung and Tapped and tangled. Fastened to the trap were some links of an iron chain that had been broken by the bird in his efforts to free himself.
 The tremendous power of the eagles wings was shown by the fact that he was able to break this chain without any of the impetus that might be gained in long flight.
 For weeks the bird had carried the trap on his leg, as was shown by the fact that the scar made by the jaws of the trap on the leg had almost healed. How the bird was able to live during that time Is not clear, for he was so greatly hampered in his flight as to make it difficult to catch his natural prey
 All the arteries but one in the leg had been severed by the jaws of the trap, but that one was enough to supply blood to the claw.
 MT. Cooley cut off the birds foot and sent it with tho trap attached to tho office of the fish and game commission in the Flood building, where it may be seen.- Ga,, rranciScn Examiner

MACON AND NORTHERN.
President Spencer Says the Souther
 Doesn't Want It.

Doesn't Want IL.
 New York, July 11.-Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway com pany, was seen today regarding the ru- nor that the Southern railroad was ne- gotiating for the control of the Macon and Northern railroad. MT. Spencer said he had heard the rumor, and he also un derstood that the terms offered under the plan of reorganization of the Georgia Central had been declined by the Macon and Northern bondholders, but that there was no foundation for the state ment that ithe Southern railroad de- sired to control the Macon and Northern, or would take and steps in that direction.
 The Macon and Northern is not natural or convenient connection for the Southern railroad. Its control by the Southern could have no other object than that of preventing the control by other interests, and the Southern is not buying or seeking to control properties for such purposes What it wants is business for it's existing lines, and the Macon and Northern is not in a geo graphical position to furnish it.

THE WOOD DUCKS FIRST SWIM.
How the Mother Gets the Little Ones
From the Nest to the Water.

From the Nest to the Water.
A few miles from my home there is a
lake that has for years been the abiding
place of a colony Of wood ducks. l have
spent hours along the shores watching
these prettiest Of water fowls. The wood
duck has ~ popularity not possessed
by other members Of the duck family
it builds its home high up in the cavity
Of some decayed limb, usually one that
Juts out over the water.
The eggs, from seven to IS in num-
Der, are creamy white i'll color. House
keeping is begun i'll May, and the young
ere ready to leave the nest early in June.
l was curious to know how the little
ducks reach the water from their lofty
homes. | had often seen them, when
hardly clear Of their shell, swimming
about with their mother and felt con-
WINGED that they never could have left
home unaided.
One bright June morning fortune ia
vored me. I had rowed along the lake
shore to pay a visit to a houseful OF
noisy red wing hlackbirds. My boat was
lying motionless among the tall cat
tails that fringed the shores of the lake.
Suddenly heard a loud splash behind
me, and turning to look l saw Oh the
water a short distance away, just shak-
ing the spray from her wings, a female
wood duck and near her two tiny yellow
balls, SO small that they rcsembled wa
ter lilies floating on the surface.
The old bird took wing, lowered and
circled above her babies for a few min
utes and then flew to a cavity in a tall
tree, q short distance away. In a short
time the male bird, arrayed in the hand
soonest Of plumage, joined his mate.
Then for a few minutes I could hear a
soft cooling noise, which reminded me of
husband and wife discussing some i'm
portant point relative to the welfare of
their children.
The cooling soon stopped and the moth
cr duck appeared in the doorway of her
home. Then she dropped toward the wa
ter at a slight angle. As her breast
struck the surface she Immediately
dived, and where her body had been I
was surprised to see two little ducklings
swimming about as unconcerned as
though they had been travelling in the
water for years.
The routine of flying to the nest was
repeated four times i'll rapid succession,
and each time it resulted in an addition
OF two to the family in the water, which
kept growing until it numbered 10.
Then the mother duck swan out in the
lake, followed by her brood, while the
male bird brought up the rear of the
procession, acting, no doubt, as q guard
and protector S. Shick in Phila-

Marriage Of the Dead.

A strange custom prevails among a
certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies, some one who
has carried to the grave a manageable
daughter in the purse of the year calls
upon the bereaved parents and says:
"Your son is sure to want a wife.
I'll give you my daughter, and you
shall deliver to me the marriage portion
in return"
A friendly offer Of this description is
never rejected, and the two parties
soon come to terms as to the amount Of
the dowry, which varies according to
the advantages possessed by the girl in
her lifetime. Cases have been known
where the young mans father has given
- much as 80 COWS to secure q dead
wife for his dead SON. -Buch fur ALLIE.
