While Peter Egelston was cutting
railroad ties near Cascade, n. Y, he
found the deserted nest of gray eagle.
While examining the nest aud its con-
tents he heard loud noise, aud sud
denly the old eagle had struck him in
the face with bill and claws, and,
taking circuit through the air, alighted
ON a tree about 200 yards distant, but
in plain view of the nest
Again the bird made an attack, aim
ing at Egelston's head, but he avoided
her, and she struck him on the arm,
making slight wound. She returned
TO her post of observation, but soon
made a third attack when Egelston
struck her with a club and brought her
to the ground, where, after a severe
struggle, he succeeded in killing her.
She measured seven feet two inches
across the outstretched wings. New

A Dainty Breath.

If the breath is tainted after eating
onions, drink strong coffee noir, or
chew coffee berries, or a stick of CHINA
mon, and wash the mouth out with
camphor and myrrh. The following
recipe can be used with great advan-
tage for unpleasant breath: Powdered
charcoal, one part; white sugar, one
part; chocolate, three parts; melt and
mix together, and eat in the form of
lozenges. The teeth must always be
kept perfectly clean, and should be
we'll brushed with salt and charcoal
every now and then. Ten drops of
myrrh in a glass of warm water should
also be used to rinse out the mouth
and to brush the teeth every few days.

If the well-known British statistic
ian, Michael G.. Mulhall, is correct in
his figures, the German Empire has
progressed more rapidly than any
other European power during the past
twenty years. In the North American
Review the statistician undertakes TO
establish the truth of this statement.
Within the period of time under con-
sideration Mr.. Mulhall shows that the
textile manufactures of the empire
have more than doubled in amount.
In 1876 the German cotton mills con-
sumed only $50, 600 tons of raw fibre,
whereas at the present time they con-
sumo $4,000 tons. This is not sur
prising in view of the fact that these
mills contain 4,7OO,00O spindles. or
considerably more than any other
country of Europe. What is true of
the cotton industry IN the matter Of
growth is also true of the silk indus
try. In silk manufactures Germany
ranks second only to France, and dur
ing the past twenty years her rate of
progress in this line has been much
more rapid. With respect to the man
ufacture of sugar, Germany's output
of this product has more than trebled
since 1876. In the manufacture of in
dVstrial implements, hardware and
machinery, it appears that the empire
has also made extraordinary progress.
rwonty years ago the aggregate debts
of all the States included within the
present German empire amounted to
$500, 900, 900; to-day the burden which
the empire carries aggregates the
amazing sum of $2, 900, 900, 900. This
increase is due to the fact that the
Government has incurred bonded in.
debtedness in purchasing railway sys.
TENS; but since the investment pays
handsomely, she will be enabled in
time to cancel the entire debt ont of her
railway profits. Altogether, the prog.
ress which the empire has achieved in
various directions during the time
under review has been most remark.
able; and in view of the intense rivalry
between the European powers which
exists at this time, it serves to throw
important light upon the situation.

The United States Of Australia will
in all likelihood come into existence
before the present century expires.
This prediction is made regardless Of
the fact that Queensland and New
Zealand still hold aloof from entering
the proposed federation. With five of
the Australian colonies wildly in favor
of the idea of federation, the two re-
naming colonies are bound to come
over ere long: But the federation
can be formed without waiting for the
acquiescence of Queensland and New
Zealand, and such is likely to be the
case. From what can be gathered
from recent news dispatches it seems
that the five colonies which are
already anxious to federate intend to
fix upon some definite plan of union
within the next few months, exten ding
TO Queensland and New Zealand the
privilege of entering the federation
later. Some idea of the immense
character of the proposed federation
may be derived from the fact that the
Australian colonies which are now
ready to enter the union cover 1890, :
600 square miles and contain 8,074,
998 inhabitants. Under the proposed
federation the progress of the colonies
will be more decided than at any time
heretofore. If Australia follows in
the wake of Canada, will it not score
another triumph for the American
principle?
