RIDDLE OF THINGS THAT ARE"

We walk in q world where no man

The riddle of things that sre,-
From q tiny fern in the valleys heart
To the heart of the largest STAR
Yet we know that the pressure of life

And the silence of death is deep,

That leads to the gate of sleep.
We know that the problems of sin and

And the passions that lead to crime,
Are the mysteries locked from age 10

Through the mire and mist to 9rope

BEWILDERED EAGLE.
A Story From Bar HarbOr of How q
Woman Got Even.

From the New York Times.
Mrs. Wilson, who lives on the Nor
way drive, so-called, within a mile or
more of this resort has lately had a
peculiar experience with white head
ed eagle. Mrs. Wilson, whose husband
owns a small farm, is an interesting
little woman, and during the last few
months has been earning for herself
pin money by raising chickens for the
Bar Harbor market. Not long ago she
had brood of about dozen chickens,
and one after another they began to
disappear, until finally only four or five
remained. Mrs. Wilson laid the cause
OF their going to some intruding fox,
skunk or hawk, but one evening when
she had gone into the yard to feed her
shattered flock she saw a big eagle
In the act of carrying away one of
her brood Then SHE knew who the thief
was, and at once began to devise some
plan to get even with the pilfering
bird.
The next morning she went into the
nelghboring wood, and after a most
persistent search she succeeded in find
ing the eagles nest in the top of a
big pine tree. She told her husband
about it, and they went to the nest.
where they found two eggs, upon
which Mrs Eagle was sitting.
Mrs. Wilson put the eggs in her
apron and carried them home. Then
she took two Of the eggs upon which
one of her hens had been sitting and
placed them in the eagles nest. Mrs.
Wilson and her husband visited the
nest frequently, watching for results.
One day last week they went to the
nest together and found the mother
eagle sitting upon the edge of her nest
In brown study, and she did not
offer to fly away until Mr.. Wilson dis
lodged her with big stone. The eagle
seemed quite bewildered and behaved
very strangely. And no wonder, for
when Mr.. Wilson had climbed the tree
and peeped into the nest he beheld two
young chickens. These being of Mrs.
Wilson's favorite breed she carried
them home and intends to raise them
for the fall market, If the eagle does
not come some night and claim them
as her own.

The past week has really done much TO
simplify the situation In wheat by demonstra-
ting that farmers are up against a condition
which can only be controlled in favor of
higher values by the diminishment of the
visible supply to a point below the demand,
and this condition is not at all likely to in
tervene. 1t is becoming evident daily that
the farmers of the Northwest particularly in
South Dakota are marketing their wheat just
as fast as it can be threshed. That state has
had a good crop-the largest for many years
and the farmers are realizing upon 1t as
rapidly as possible. In a less degree the
North Dakota farmers marketing their
wheat and here judgment is being brought
actively into account. The Northwest farm
er is always at a disadvantage compared
with the grower of winter wheat. The latter
brings forth his crop at a time when the
yield Of the world Is most remote specu-
lative quantity. If granaries are well clean
ed up he can avail himself Of the short sup
ply on hand to secure the best prices. Not
the farmer Of the Northwest. He comes
into the markets with his gleanings when
every trader knows just what the world s
crop is likely to be- aside from India, Au-
STRATA and Argentine. Just as the thresher
and the Dakotas, the announcement Is simIl-
taneous as to what Russia and France and
the European countries generally are likely
to be able to contribute to the worlds sup
ply.
This season the reports have been some
what more tardy owing to the fact that
while the European granaries were thorough
ly drained, a silent hopefulness existed that
the crops there would not reveal that de-
probation in volume which was assured so
long beforehand in 1897. Prices here thus
far have been fairly strong supported by
the theory that the reports from Europe
were not in favor of a surplus yield either
in Russia France. Now comes however,
the announcement that even the crops Of
Great Britain are beyond expectations. So
far as Russia is concerned, accounts intend
ed to influence speculation have been for
warded indicating a generally poor yield
whereas 1t now appears that only in four
districts, and those not pre-eminently I'M
portant, did bad conditions exist The show
ing made by France in way Of product Is
altogether beyond expectation. The crop Of
Italy is surprisingly abundant, while that Of
Austria Hungary exceeds that of 1887 by
100000 bushels, although 1t does not attain
the proportions of that Of 1895 by approx
matey 5000, 900 bushels.
