titled to the choicest bits and it is
truly survival of the fittest in such
combats as these. But an eagle is al
ways confident of his strength and
rarely overreaches himself in such con-
flicts or in his desire for prey. When
lingering by the mountain rivers,
watching for ducks or geese, or even
fish, a pair Of eagles will display their
natural shrewdness. They swoop from
opposite directions upon the fowl,
which tries to escape by diving, and
could outwit one eagle, but suddenly,
as the bird comes to the surface of the
water, the second eagle seizes him.
With its wonderful power of sight,
covering a radius of miles, the eagle
combines a swiftness of flight equally
marvellous. In a single night and day a
full grown eagle can fly 1000 miles.
Oftentimes the visitor in the Tennessee
mountains can just see him like little
speck in the sky, moving restlessly and
rapidly in majestic circles about the
crest of a far-away peak. The sight
seers and mountaineers who love to
watch the eagles always choose the
break of dawn or calm sunset. Then
they are to be seen wheeling in circles
and gliding about in horizontal sweeps
I just before starting out on days hunt
or settling for the night.

FAvoRITE OF HENRY VIII.

At the court of Henry VIII, Holbein,
the painter, was favorite. He made z
careful study Of the kings vagaries,
and with much dexterity contrived to
keep his head on his shoulders, though
1t was many times in peril
At the death of Jane Seymour, Henry
sent his favorite to Flanders, with or
ders to paint the portrait of Christina,
in order that he might judge Of her fit
ness to become his consort.
The portrait was painted and sent to
England, and the delighted king sent
back an immediate proposal of mar
riage.
1t was fortunate for the Flemish
painter that he was not at hand when
Christmas answer was delivered to his
patron.
UNFORTUNATELY L possess but one
head Had I been endowed with two,
l would gladly have placed one at your
majesty's disposal"
Eager to conclliate the angry king,
his minister, Thomas Cromwell, sug-
gested that Holbein should be sent on
to paint Anne of Gloves, who seemed
more likely to prove willing bride.
The picture was a fattering one, and
Henry made every arrangement for the
marriage.
Hurrying off to meet his bride, Hen
~ was so much Disguised when he
saw 1.-THE Flanders mare" as he called
her, that he sent her back. The in
cident cost Cromwell his head. For
tunately for Holbein, it did not strike
the king that he was in any way to
blame.
The Flemish painter was not liked by
the English court, and various plots were
formed to turn the king against him.
To a complaint from a favorite minis
ter that Holbein had thrown him down
stairs, Henrys reply was characters
tic:

CONFERENCE WAS HARMONIOUS.

New Bedford. Mass, Jan. THE
committee from the Spinners' Union
appointed at the meeting Wednesday
night held a conference with the mill
men this afternoon, at which all the
mills where notices of a reduction have
been posted, were represented. The
conference was harmonious and the
committee was informed that the
manufacturers had been largely in
fiuenced in their action by the cut down
in other places. The committee was
also told that the manufacturers found
1t somewhat difficult to compete with
mills where the cut down was made
manufacturing the same line of goods.
This was practically all the reasons
the committee received from the manu-
facturers The committee will simply
make a report of the conference when
the spinners meet on Monday night to
take definite action as to whether to
strike or not. The board of trade pro-
poses to take a hand in the impending
labor troubles, and call for meeting
of the committee on arbitration to take
steps to avert a strike was issued to-
night.

Lowell, Jan. THE Cotton Spinners'
OHioll tonlSill received report OF the
conference with the mill agents by a
committee, yesterday, relative to the
ten per cent cut down. The trend of
the report was that while the spinners
had presented every available argu-
ment against the reduction, the mill
agents had informed them that the ac-
ton of their treasurers in ordering the
cut down was final, and would not be
withdrawn. The committee made no
recommendation regarding a strike. A
stormy discussion followed in which
the strike sentiment predominated but
1t was decided to await the outcome of
the national executive meeting on Sun
day.
