Don't eat candy in the theater if it

performance. Besides it is bad form to
eat in public.
Don't let your dress drag when walk
ing down stairs unless you want to add
materially to your collection Of mi

Don't worry because there are half a
dozen freckles on your nose. No one
will notice them if you don't call at
tention to them. Besides, they have
probably been there all winter.
Don't order more than you can eat
simply because some one is looking at
you. independence is more to be adj
mired than extravaganza. @
Don't wait for inspiration to say
something graceful when you walk up

THE OLD 4EAGLE TREE. =,
Said to BE one Of the Last Hnunts
of the American Bird on
Long Island. ii 8

People of East Moriches are mourn
ing the fact that the old historic sseagle
tree" is now dead, and that in a few
years it will proba bly, disappear alto
gether. After weathering many a
storm and withstanding several fierce
fires, it has at last succumbed to the
elements and is gradually disintegrat-
ing. II ss8 3 E1ss3t5s
The tree was first occupied by pair
Of eagles late in the last century. It
was the last known resort Of the great
American bald-headed eagle on Long
Island. Each year after they first APP
peared in the old tree the eagles re-
turned and built their nest and raised
their young. When the Manor &
Sag Harbor branch Of the Long Is
land railroad was built only 100 yards
from the tree the eagles abandoned it
and sought "a new retreat. But they
did not seem to be pleased with their
new quarters, and in 1886 or 1887 they
returned and once more set ups their
home in the broad branches Of the
aged tree. s

Moriches would frequently see the

gnarled branches of the oak and keep
ing watch over his mate. About six
years ago the family was broken up
through the cruelty Of hunter, who
wounded the eagle so badly that. he
afterward died, and his body was found
at the foot of the tree which had been
his home for SO many years. Every
one felt a sense of personal loss, and it

SHEEP Dogs INTELLIGENCE.
Some Interesting Experiments Per.
formed at the Trials OF
the sCoIlies.

h Since the Introduction Of sheep-dog
trials in Wales and ngland, this high
" interesting and instructive sport is
becoming yearly more popular. On a
fine day it would indeed be difficult to
find a more interesting sight than the
highly trained shepherds dog, or col
lie, working the little flock Of three Of
the widest sheep over the course in a
most wonderful manner The friendli-
ness and jpvial good humor of the own
ers Of dogs toward one another are in
marked contrast to the jealousies so
often present at sporting meetings,
added to which the fresh air, healthy
surroundings and gay throngs go to
make q thorough days enjoyment.
The shepherd working the dog
stands at the post, from which he is
not allowed to move more than six
yards. At given signal three sheep
are liberated from the pen; the shep-
herd then sends his dog to the sheep,
which are to be driven in the direction
indicated by the arrows and between
the hurdles; if any of the sheep go out
side the hurdles the dog must bring
them back and take them the proper
course, to the triangular pen of three
hurdles, which has an opening of %
inches, or just wide enough to allow one
sheep to enter at a time; he has then to
pen them, the time allowed being Is
minutes from the time the three sheep
are first liberated. The worker Of the
dog is allowed to assist, without, how
ever, touching the sheep when the dog
has brought them up to the pen. The
shepherd works the dog almost entire
~ by whistling or motions. Often the
sheep separate at the commencement;
the dog has then to bring them to-
gether and start with his charge at the
proper place. The competitor may be
successful in driving his three sheep up
to the pen at the end of the trial; he
has then had a most difficult task, and
the utmost patience and skill are then
required, as only one sheep can enter
at time, and the other two will often
go outside the pen. Tt is then the dogs
sagacity is shown. He will crawl on
his belly like a cat, and quietly drive
them inch by inch until he gets them
IN the opening and the three jostled into
the pen.
Another innovation has lately been
introduced at some trials. The shep-
her herd marks three sheep, which are
driven among flock of about hun
bred or more. The dog has then to
find the marked sheep and bring them
from among the others, which he does,
showing wonderful sagacity and intel
ligence in doing so.
In training collies, the young dogs are
generally taught by accompanying old
dogs. Months Of patient toll are re-
quired to fit them to compete at trials
successfully. The young dog is very
wild and apt to oyerrun the sheep, in
which case the shepherd often has to
devise means to hold him in check,
which he does by tying up one Of his
front paws with his pocket handker-
chief around the dogs neck, thus leav-
ing the dog only three legs to run on,
and it is surprising how soon the dog
understands its meaning. Ludgate

Men en- ON the Canadian
border.

Good, d-fashioned smuggling, !,

to g, very large extent to-day. There is
still plenty of work for secret service
agents, but their duties constantly ac-
quaint them with new schools OF
crime Ships play a much smaller part,
directly, IN smuggling than they used
to. There is. / dare say, more cheating
going on through the compact cubic
space of q lady's trunk than there is in
the holds of all the long, low, rakish
craft or the successors Of such craft,
at present doing business on our coasts.
The total capacity of all the women's
trunks landed from transatlantic
steamships is very great, much great
er than it used to be.
The Canadian border offers some
special dvantages for the gentry who
match their wits against the collectors
of revenue and the special agents the
treasury The character of the goods
Struggled across the Canada line is IA
vorable to the smugglers, too. Horses
and cattle are easily transported, for
they carry themselves, and who is to
Il
notice if they cross the imaginary line
between Uncle Sans domain and the
land of the Canucks while grazing along
the border and then fail to return to
their former stables? Or, who is to
know it if live stock is driven along lit
tle-frequented roads until the border is
crossed and the goods are delivered to
willing and unscrupulous cooperators
on the American side?
But your real, up-t date smuggler
is, am sorry to say, a woman. She
would be grossly offended if she were
described as criminal at all, except in
the opinion of officers who have become
testy and cynical by long observation.
OF course, I don't mean to say that men
do not smuggle goods by means Of their
personal baggage when returning from
abroad. but really the most cheerful,

Because every prospect pleases it is
the right time to watch most closely
for signs of trouble. But it is not easy
TO find them when the volume OF busi-
ness is 63.7 per cent larger than last
year and 75.5 larger than in 1892. the
best of all years except the last. or
when failures continue the smallest
ever known, or when the exports of
staples begin to improve materially. or
when railroad business is by far the
best ever known. or when New York
bankers appear in international opera

and undertaking a Mexican loan. Even
the industrial disputes incident TO the
season cause less trouble than usual.
