But out Of the blue came another

The bald eagle screamed again and
was answered by the gray. The bald
came with leveled head, like an arrow
from the b0w-the fisher still struggled
for an equal position. Then the bald
curved the forward edge Of his great
vans and started downward. The gray
dropped the mullet and turned upside
down In midair, with beak and talous

and sailed hOmeward.

Origin Of "Deadheads."

Very few of our readers are proboblv
aware of the origin Of the word dead
head, which is so frequently used in
connection with theatrical representa-
tions. 1t is stated to be as follows.
Many years ago, at the time of turn
pixies, the principal avenue of a town
passed close to the entrance of road
leading to the cemetery. AS this GEM
etery had been laid out some time pre-
vious to the construction of the road if
was arranged that all funeral process
sions should be allowed to pass along
the latter free of toll. One day as y
well-known physician, who was dr;v-
ing along this road, stopped to pay his
toll, he observed to the keeper, Con
the benevolent character Of
our profession, l think you ought to
let pass free OF charge" mo, no
DOCTOR said the gate-keeper, eve
cant afford that, you send too manv
deadheads through as it u.s." The
story travelled around the country ami
the word "deadhead" was eventually
applied to those who obtained free ad.
mission to the theatre.

Boys Life Saved By a Dog,

The crew of the G. L. Marshall load
ed the old lighter with ammonia, and
left her at the pier at the foot of East
fl1teenth street for the night, with on
ly boy, Thomas Meeney, and a small
fox terrier in charge. At the turn of
the tide the boat broke he- hawser,
swung around in the stream, and part
OF the cargo shifting, she listed heavily.
The boy was asleep in the cabin. The
dog, however. knew something was the
matter, and he began to bark. The
boy did not wake up promptly enough,
so the animal caught hold of the bed
clothes and pulled them of the cot.
That reused the boy, who jumped up,
noticed that the boat had keeled far
over, and ran to escape.
In his haste Meeney fell among some
barrels and dislocated his shoulder
But he picked himself up and reached
the deck, where he found that they had
swung so far out into the stream that
ne could not reach the dock. But the
dogs barking had attracted the atten-
ton of the watchman of the Willard
Parker Hospital, who called a police
man to come with him to the rescue.
The men brought ladder, which they
put out to Meeney, and then helped him
ashore. The dog was left on the deck.
While the policeman attended to the
calling of an ambulance to take the
boy to the hospital, the watchman
fastened after the captain and crew of
the lighter. When they arrived at the
dock, Captain Foster, the skipper, went
off and saved the dog There was
nothing they could do to keep the
lighter afoat. 1t sank with the cargo,
and will have to be raised by a wreck.

A Fleet But Savage Race Horse.

Ex-senator Blackbu of hentuckY,
is sturdy admirer of the running
horse, as was his father and number
Of his ancestors before him. A few
evenings ago he related some aneC-
dotes of that good son of Lexington,
Tom Bowling. AS everyone knows,
| Bowling was man-eater of the worst
type, he being only eXcelled in that re-
spect by Balls Florizel, an ancestor
Doubtless cruel grooms had much to
do with B0wling's bad temper. He
killed and MANNED number of grooms
before he died. The Senator said when
Bowling was about to be raced it was
worth the price of admission to the
track to see his trainer and Jockey
labor to &C fim from his stall to the
track. TO saddle him was the first
task, which consumed upwards of half
an hour. During that period he bit,
struck with his front feet and ashed
out savagely with his hind ones.
Finally, when all was ready. the
jockey was thrown on his back. Ropes
were attached to each side of his bit,
and in this condition, and with much
huck-jumping and like antics, he was
led to the track. When on the track.
previous to the fall of the flag, Bowl
ing would spend his time in trying to
get rid Of his rider. If he failed to dis.
lodge him with his teeth he would try
to crush his legs against the fence
Bowling rarely ever got off with his

head was turned the wrong way of the
track, but when he saw the field was
really off, the chestnut rogue would |

he would give an ordinary field dis

iron Dissolved BY Water.

Some intereting experiments and re-.
searches into the ability of water to
exercise destructive influence on iron
pipe, which have recently been made
in Europe, have yielded results not
generally expected. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that waters containing little
lime, but an appreciable quantity of
dissolved carbonic acid, were observed
to exercise solvent action upon the
iron, d the course of the action was
traceo. A known quantity of iron fl.
lngs was placed in each of three YES
sells, which were respectively filled
with ry river water, and the
same after carbonic acid had
pass ough it for a few minutes.
and after the addition of sufficient
lime TO neutralize the carbonic acid.
The vessels were sealed by mercury
from contact by the air, and after the
lapse of a certain time the iron dis
solved in each case was determined
In the first case the water had dis
solved about 0.O0O3 per cent: in the
second, 0.O2 per cent, while in the third
only traces of iron could be discerned.
The water in the second case was clear
out on standing exposed to the air fer
rlc oxide separated. 1t was therefore
inferred that waters continuing carbonic
acid and very little lime dissolved iron
as ferrous carbonate. The latter is
then decomposed by the oxygen of the
air and ferric oxide is deposited aud
acid formed. The latter can
again attack the iron, and thus water
containing little carbonic acid may
nave a powerful action upon iron
pipes.-Philadelphia Record

A WINTER NIGHT

Pile on thu logs the bright flames start
And up the roaring chimney race;
How grateful should we be. sweethea
For just this little fireplace!
l said today that was poor,
And poor in some things may be,
But here's a shelter-who needs more?-
And your bright eyes to shine for mel
Draw near, and sum our blessings, sweet;
While We are housed and clothed and fed
The bleak winds hound from street to street
Souls that share not life's daily bread.
While we. safe-harbored from the storm,
49,, Have all our happy hearts desire,
lheres many weak and wounded form
Bends Ger hearth without fire.
Thank God for Home and if a knock
Sound at the door this icy night,
q let us hasten to unlock
And bring brother to the light!
IL was for this Gods gifts were lent
10 light the way for those that roam;
Ii was for this the Christ was sent
10 shelter those that had no home!
