Eagle Fights Rather.

Tom Carson. Scranton, Penn. ;,
sewing machine agent, rode down
mountain road near Deer Hollow few
days ago and saw 2 big fight between a
rattlesnakc and an eagle.
81 was riding lcisurely," said Tom,
when | heard the shrill screams of
an eagle, and, as looked, he came
down like shooting star and lighted
on rattler five feet long The bird
was one of the largest bald eagles and
the snake was monster. The eagle,
with its crest thrown back, ran UP to
the snake and gave it blow over the
head with its wings, that completely
stunned it, just rs it was in the act of
striking at him with all it's force.
Quickly the eagle caught it in it's tai
ons, arose about twenty feet in the
air, gave it furious shaking aud let
it fall to the earth, where it lay coil
ed, rafting and kissing in great wrath.
'The eagle made second attack in
the same manner as before, but the
snake watched its chances this time,
and. when the eagle was close enough
thrust its head between his head and
wing, and, with desperate effort,
wound itself around the eagle body,
and it looked for moment as though
the powerful bird must die.
"But with violent flap of his
wings he broke the deadly embrace,
caught the snake and gave it several
jerks and threw it down again. Twice
again the eagle carried the snake in
the air and dashed it to the ground
each time giving it o furious shaking
for moment. Then he rested, whiri-
ing slowly around the snake, and then,
making dash, carried it for the fourth
time in the air, and wher he dashed
it down again it was dead. Then he
gave it final shake, seized it in his
talons, and with steady fight bore
it to crag, the highest in the neigh
borhood."

Resting Their Muscles,

When q man is tired, he stretches his
arms and legs and yawns. Birds md
animals. so far rs possible, follow his
example. Birds spread their feathers
and also yawn. or cape. Fowls often
do this. Fish yawn: they open their
mouths slowly unit, they nrc round,
the bones OF the head seem to loosen
and the gills open.
Dogs arc inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have q cold. CatE are always
stretching their bodies. legs and claws.
as every one Knows who has had cat
for pet.
Horses stretch violently when ana
after iadulging In a roll, but not as q
rule ON ell fours, as stags do. A stag
when stretching sticks out his head.
stretches his fore feet out and hollows
his back and neck as though trying to
creep under q bar.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise up after lying down. Deer do
il regularly: 30 do cattle. This fact /.
80 well known that if cow when
arising from lying down does not
stretch herself 1t is n sign she is Ill.
The reason for this is plain-the
stretch moves every muscle OF the
body. and IL there is an injury any
where 1t hurts.-San Francisco Exam

"The steamer was alongside Of us in
little more than an hour
"She ranged close, imagining us dere-
lict. I hailed her from the maintop
and gave the captain our yarn. and he
mt once sent boats and took all hands
OF us off.
"That steamers name,' said the lit
tie sailor, was the Eagle OF Middlcs-
brough.
"And this is the sequel OF this cx-
traordinary story. Scarcely had the
Eagle sunk the hull Of the Middlcsex
out of sight, leaving her lying just as
she had been left throughout the night
from the moment when the helmsman
lost his grip Of the spokcs, when anoth-
er steamer called the Sea Queen Of
Ncwcastle-on-Tyne. heading in the
wake of the Eagle, fell in with the
bark and bonrded her.
Here, then, came in the mystery.

"Her mate went aloft and hunted

Of boat. But nothing was visible
save the fading trace Of q steamers
light smoke or some delicate streak Of
cloud In the northeast.
''The galley fire burning was the
puzzler. They took the bark in tow
and carried her to port, but the
story" said the little sailor passionate
ly, ''is always wrongly told when it's
written about.
"And now hope, since you've taken
1t in hand, that the public will stick to

Sand for The Children.

10 get plaything for the little folks
that is cheap and ut the same time
satisfactory invest in carload of
of sand. Have it dumped in some
place selected not only with an eye to
its effect on the landscape but to the
advantage Of the children as we'll: then
turn them loose and see how they will
enjoy it, wisely suggests writer in
Good Housekeeping.
Don't be afraid they will soil their
clothes. You wrong your child, boy
or girl, if you keep it SO dressed that
it is not at liberty to romp and play in
the dirt. The oyeralls which so many
are scnsibly putting on the little boys
Tor their outdoor play are an excellent
idea; now dress the little girls in some
way to secure them like frocdom-but
if you do not do this, let them still be
free to enjoy themselves On mother
earth.
For those mothers who havesa horror
of genuine dirt, the sand pile possesses
the virtue of being comparatively
clean, and, although it must be con-
fcssed that possibilities for soiling
clothes here are not lacking, it is also
rcpletc with possibilities for enjoy
mcnt and instructions.
1t is no wonder that children like to
play in the sand; is there NO: fascina-
tion in the mobile mass which seems
half solid, half liquid? Wouldn't you
like to be child for half day and
spend it at that yellow heap about
which the little workers are gathered
with surprising array of utensils?
