ONE OF THE WAR EAGLES.
Captured as a Fledgling and Sent Away
 as a Regimental Mascot.

Captured as a Fledglng and Sent Away
 as a Regimental Mascot.
 Last spring, when aH the world was
 looking anxiously toward the American
 eagle and her cause, two young eaglets
 were matched in tall cypress tree on
 the edge of a prairie about sixty miles
 from Kissimmee. A native watched the site, and one day feled the tree. One eaglet gave up it's life, the other was found alive. The man brought it to town in an OK team, and on it's arri- val it was barely breathing. It was quickly given beef and water, and while the poor thing could not support its head from extreme weakness, it showed it's appreciation by giving forth a gurglng sound. It soon learned to drink water from a spoon, then cup, and within a couple of days could sit up. The bird slept great deal, resting fiat on the ground with wings slightly spread and his head lying to one side. This at first we supposed was from ex- using the perch between times, when he would apparently be in a deep study, but not asleep.
 What an immense bird he was, and what sweep of wings he had! In col or he was almost black, the lustre of his feathers being exquisite. His beak was black, his feet and legs yellow, while his dark brown eyes were the perfec- tion of beauty in their wondrous way of changing. During his short stay he was so gently cared for that he learned no antipathy for anything, although his eye would scan closely the kitten or dog as they, innocent of the dormant strength that lay beyond those talons, stood by while the bird devoured his fish or beef. At first the eagle was so ravenous that he swallowed his food in great pieces, eating the sinew and fat of the beef but later, placing his pow erful talons upon the fish or beef, he would raise his wings, draw his body up from the food, and proceed leisurely to tear it into shreds, feeding as daintily as a squirrel, but leaving all the sinew and fat. The man who captured the eagle said on the ground beneath the nest was the refuse of fish and other prey, mak- ing an odor that was far from agreea- ble.
 The strength and beauty of this king of birds grew on us daily, but as he could serve his country better as mas cot for the army, we parted with him, but the memory of his departure is still fresh, recalling a picture full of pathos. It was night, and the eagle had been put into a box for shipment; the wagon stood waiting; as it moved off the caged bird peered out, and that last lingering look from his eye expressed rebuke, sor- row and longing; he gave forth low, gurging note, as if pleading to be al- lowed to remain; he left woman stand ing by the gate with tear-bedimmed eyes and a strangely pulsing heart, but he taught us that the more we study these creatures, less godlike than our- selves, the more we feel an indulgent care and kindly sympathy for them.-- Forest and Stream.

 The members of the Annex fire de- partmept of the Four Corners are con- templating another addition to their en- zine house.

The plan that is being talked up is to move back the addition put on the rear and build in between for a space of twenty feet. This would enlarge the building to about the size that is needed. It should have been larger at first, but the company did not feel like assuming the expense; but the new building has proved such success and the depart ment is on so good a foundation, that the company feels prepared to assume the expense of again enlarging the en- zine house. If the enterprise is carried out it will not be done before the sum- mer.

Countess de Castiglione's idea of virtue
was that of the Italian painters OF the six
teenth century.
Beauty not only symbolized virtue but
was the flower of all the virtues. She saw
no more harm in posing to Baudry, as a
model might have done, reclining on
pleased with the likeness. but a change of
light showed her that 1t had not the real
texture of her skin or the spirit that
seemed TO animate her whole person, so
the countess cut it up into small bits, leay-
ing only a hand and a pair OF beautiful
feet which she sent TO a relative in Italy.
The countess suddenly sank below the
horizon after she had reached the zenith.
Ii was no secret that Italy was threatened
with the enmity of the empress II the
countess continued to discharge her mis-
sion. Her money difficulties were then
spoken of. As she was proud woman, she
did not walt to be dropped but retired for
ever from society. She reproached nobody,
asked no sympathy of any one, sold her
Jewels and went to live in tiny fiat at the
corner of the Place Vendome. There she
said goodbye to sunshine, and closed,
never TO reopen them, the Venetian shut
tiers OF her windows. She only went out al
night and was accompanied by dog and
an old servant. She became magnificent
old lady. A former acquaintance saw her
about two years ago on the bouievards-

him, but smiled with sovereign grace in
recognition of his attention.
Even at the present day Paris has not
forgotten her costume, or rather absence
of costume, as Salammbo, In which charac-
ter she figured at a certain memorable ball
at the Tuileries, wearing her hair. her
jewels and very little else. The Empress
Eugene, when she was presented to her
thus lightly arrayed, declared that she
must be cold, and insisted upon her there
and then douning a mantle. Nine. de Cas-
tiglione was never again invited to an en-
tertainment over which the Empress Eu-
