Mrs. John Hendrix, OF Gulf Sum-
nit, Broome County, n. Y, is con.
sidered the pluckiest woman in that
quarter.
For month the farmers about there
have suffered from the incursions of
monster American or mountain eagle,
which has wintered in their neighbor.
hood and lived upon their poultry.
On Sunday, while Mrs. Hendrix was
alone in the house, the eagle, which
had become u familiar object, was
clrcling above the poultry yard. A
little chanticleer, which was no match
for its antagonist, had made gallant
fight. With one swift strcke the eagle
placed the little cock "hors de com
bat"
just then an avenger, Mrs. Hendrix,
appeared upon the scene, armed with
a billet of wood. She struck at the
eagle which at once attacked her
furiousIy with beak and talons, cut
ting II furrow in her face ana tearing
her dress. The woman retreated to
the house, and, arming herself with q
hatchet, returned to the yard and
found the eagle preparing to fly away
with the now dead rooster.
Mrs. Hendrix ma le q pass at the
eagle, which resumed the fight. In Il
deIt, quick movement, she struck the
bird full in the neck with the blade of
the hatchet, and the battle loyal was
over. Screaming, the eagle died, its
head being nearly severed, and its
blood covering Mrs. Hendrix, who,
woman-like, sNooned.
Some neighbors, who were passing,
found her lying in the yard few feet
from the dead eagle. She soon re-
covered consciousness. She had the
dead eagle, disfgured face and a
tattered dress as souvenirs of the
| battle.
The eagle, which measured six feet
from tip to tip, and weighed thirty
pounds, has been placed in the hands
OF taxidermist, and when mounted
will be presented to Grand Arm
Post In Deposit. The farmers CT Gulf

ODD UMBRELLA HANDLES,

The Dresden china handles, and of
straight ones ending in round bail,
are decidedly shelved. A few stray
ones are seen here and there at the
shops, left over from last season, but
no new ones are being made The
straight handles OF natural woods sup.
porting ball of wrought crystal, pink
onyx or some other appropriate and
handsome stone, are in great favor
just now for dress occasions. A pretty
idea is TO have ones monogram in gold
fastened on one of these mineral balls.
AT least it secures its return by con-
scientious finder. Here are three
good points to remember in choosing
IN umbrella. Select handle of which
there is no duplicate. one that is mod
est in design, and one which does not
add greatly to the weight. New York

A BULLDOGS Grin.

Most bulldogs prefer to die rather
than let go their grip, once they have
fastened their teeth into flesh. This
was the case with one at North Say
vile, Long Island. On the evening
of that day Mr.. Armbruster left @
valuable pony in front OF his house
while he entered to get something.
While he was in the house his bulldog,
which was chained in the yard, be-
came angry at the horse and tugged at
his chain until he broke it. He thon
attacked the pony and lacerated it
terribly. He bit through the tendons
of the front legs, and was hanging to
the pony's throat when Armbruster
came out OF the house. Seeing the
trouble that the pony was in, and be-
ing acquainted with the dogs temper,
he called hired man and they at
tempted to club the dog of, but all to
no purpose. The beast hung on to
the pony's throat. Finally Arm
bruster got q deuble- e-barreled shot.
gun, loaded both barrels and blszel
away at the dog, killing him instantly.
The pony was badly torn, but will re-
cover. Buffalo Express.

But Miss Essie's eighteen years rest
lightly on her shoulders, and her hair,
which is of golden hue, ripples quiet.
ly down her back without the faintest
suggestion of silver thread in it. Her
eyes are of a grayish blue, her nose
turns up saucily, she has trim figure,
and hand that portrays a sensitive
and refined disposition. And yet this
young lady was no more disturbed
when she was at an altitude of 1000
feet, hang on to trapeze suspended
to parachute, and her balloon caught
fire, than if she were at home crochet
ing.
1t was at olympic, Queensland, that
this occurred, last April, and, accord
ing to the Sydney Mail, the scene was
a most terrifying one for the specta-
tors. Just at the instant that the bal
loon.was let go it swayed heavily about,
and, displacingsethe damper used for
regulating the flame, caught fire as it
shot into the air. Miss Millie, her
sister, tried to seize her, put the in
trepid young aeronaut would not be
stayed, and she went up like a rocket.
But she did not come down like
stick. Hanging by her feet, she went
nearly half mile and then commenced
to drift away from the river, from
where she started. At this stage the
balloon, which at the start was noticed
to be on fire, became blazing mass,
extending towards the parachute. See.
ing the situation of affairs, there was
intense excitement among the specta-
tors. The huge balloon descended
literally one mass of flames, with the
frail girl waving her handkerchief in
the most fearless manner No help
was possible until the earth was
reached Down the balloon came, and
was watched with intense anxiety, I'M
til the intervening trees hid the spirited
young lady and her blazing chariot
from view. Lo7g before this numbers
of people were following her, to give
all of the assistance possible, and she
was extricated from the burning mass
as socn as she touched the ground. On
regaining n footing on the solid earth
in Il most nonchalant IN amer she re.
quested the bystanders to try and save
her parachute. The balloon was ut
terly destroyed, and the parachute
badly damaged.

A Uorse's Wild Sprint.

Frank Pratt, of Batavia, n. Y, has
horse that should have the prize
for both speed AMI luck, for it per-
formed feat that about caps the
climax in bo h these directions. AS
Pratt and his wife were driving into
the yard IN the south part of the vii
lR8e after dark the cutter upset in the
deep snow and the horse took fight,
making for the Lehigh crossing.
When it reached the crossing it en-
countered 10 freight train bound west.
There was scarce room to cross ahead
of the train so the horse turned IN on
the track ahead OF the train and ran
for three miles, dragging the cutter
across three long bridges and n num-
Der of trestles and over several cross
ing guards. 1t began to look to the
trainmen as though tho animal was
going to make the whole distance into
Buffalo ahead of the train when anoth.
or train appeared on tho other track.
This headed Oft the horse and it plunged
down an embaukment into Il gravel
pit and fetched up in snowdrift.
The train stopped and the men dug
the rig out, then one man led the
horse to barn i'll the vicinity and left
it. The other train reported the case
to the owner, who took possession of
the horse. expecting to find it half cut
to pieces and the cutter smashed, but
there was scarcely scratch on the
animal and the cutter was un1njured.

Diminutive Aztecs.

The feminine direct descendants OF
the famous Aztecs are tiny creatures,
exquisitely formed and refined in fea-
ture. They carry the heads with the
upbearing grace of the full-blooded
Indian their skins are not red, but a
clear, smooth copper color that shines
like gold in the sun; their hair is
coarse and black as ebony, and they
are decorated with bright feathers
and gay ornaments. These women
make the most wonderful pottery that
comes to us from Mexico, for they
have kept the old Aztec forms and
decorations in their art, and they also
weave wonderful baskets and do ex-
quisite embroidery.

BIG HATS DECLARED A NUISANCE.

1t is interesting to note that the big
theatre hat has at last been called by
its right name, nuisance, and been
turned over to the proper authorities,
the law. Too long has the hat figured
as joke, and, if not as a joke, as q
perfectly insurmountable difficulty,
that neither law nor order, courtesy
nor kindness, could alter or overcome.
But now that Judge Johnson of Den
yer, has, in the words of the report,
approved on order requiring women
to remove their hats and bonnets dur.
ing performances at the Tabor Grand
Opera House." it may be taken for
granted that the example will be fol-
lowed elsewhere. The practical COM
mon sense of such q measure is at once
apparent. A thing is either nuis-
ance or it is not. Ii it interferes with
other peoples rights and comforts it
is nuisance, no matter how beautiful
and costly it may be as hat, nor how
charming Is the woman who wears it.
And nuisances should be dealt with by
the law, without regard to age, color,
or sex. Just one thing remains to be
said. No genuine gentlewoman, how
ever blue blooded and beautiful and
well meaning she may to all appear
ances be, would wear big hat during
theatre performance.-New York
Sun.

The conference of mutual accident
insurance companies Of the United
States, which assembled in Boston re.
Gently to discuss the bicycle rider as
an accident risk, has finished its de-
liberations. The results are disastrous
to thu bicycle riders. The following
resolutions were unanimously passed:
"Resolved, That the use of the bicycle
should be covered by additional cost
or reduction of the amount of death
and indemnity benefits, and it is rec
ommended that this be provided for
by either of the following meth DDS:
l. The adequate increase OF premiums
to cover the added risk; or, 2. The
classification, an occupation of bicycle
riders in class twice as hazardous as
the preferred risk. 8. That benefits
by accidents by bicycle riding be
specifically reduced 4. Tho includ.
ing of bicycling under the policies to
be covered only by specific permits at
an extra premium" The next thing
to come, suggests the New Orleans
Picayune, may be the refusal Of life
insurance companies to take risks on
the lives of bicycle riders.

FASHION NOTES.

The overskirt is slowly making its
way into the ranks of fashion.
Black satin duchesse and peau de
sole silks will be used quite freely for
separate skirts the coming season.
Mohair will be the fabric for the
first dresses worn in the coming deml-
season, and is admirably adapted for
them.
For evening dresses are lustrous
white mohairs or those delcately tint
ed, that rival taffeta silks in their
crisp beauty.
There is n rage for braided costumes
abroad, and it has reached America.
New cashmere braids are used that are
wider than soutache.
Flaring wing effects are still dom.
inant characteristic OF spring milli-
merry, but are somewhat modified in
their spreading width upon the head.
With dressy post-Lenten costumes
will again be worn single or double
breasted Spanish jackets, rounded in
front, or cut square in Russian style.
Pale primrose-yellow gloves are
very fashionably worn with evening
toilets. The rival to these gloves is ~
long velvety mousquetaire glove in
cream white.
Among the novelties grenadines oc.
cupy a prominent place. A black
grenadine with colored silk stripe
and light colored grenadines in large
plaids are two striking patterns.
A pretty style of evening waist con.
sists of slashed blouse worn over
another blouse of thin, elegant mate

ness.
Galloons are used for trimmings and
braiding on cloth gowns for morning
| wear is in vogue again, while basques
and vests are braided all over in o
pattern, or with simple coil on the
edge.
Dainty Dresden patterned lawns
and dimities are shown in full as
sortment of colorings and designs, and
white India linen waists are made with
dotted swiss sleeves and white linen
collars and cuffs.
A new departure has been taken in
Scotch ginghams. They are now
warp-printed with exquisite chine
flowers woven in the warp instead of
the gay bright plaids for which they
have long been famous.
Crepons are freely taken for new
spring capes, and, as usual, are made
with deep godets or flutes at the back.
They are bordered and also trimmed
at the neck with o ruche of chiffon,
lined with light changeable silk, and
finished at the throat with bows Of
! satin ribbon.
