Yung Lu, chief of the Chinese forces, and Prince Ching would be able to regain sufficient influ- ence to make peace, especially if the foreigners in the capital were safe. This appears to represent the general native opinion here as far as it is pos sible to ascertain it.

EAGLES AND THEIR PREY.
4 Giant Bird Whose Race Has Hap
PLY Become Extinct.

4 Giant Bird Whose Race Has Hap
PLY Become Extinct.
There is at the present moment at
the Natural History museum a model
Of the skull Of an eagle so gigantic that
the imagination can scarcely fit it into
the life Of this planet at all.
The whole head is larger than that Of
an OK, and the beak resembles pair
Of hydraulic shears. Unlike most of
the giant beasts, this eagle, which in
habited Patagonia, appears from its
remains to have differed little from
the existing species. Its size alone
distinguishes it. The quills Of the
feathers which bore this awful raptor
through the air must have been as
thick as walking stick and the webs
as wide as car blades. It would have
killed and torn to pieces creatures as
large as q bison and whirled up into
the sky and dropped into the rocks
the gigantic carapaced animals Of
prehistoric Patagonia as easily as
modern eagle Of California does the
land tortoise on which it feeds.
Even today there are few carnivo-
rous animals, whether birds or beasts,
which have so wide range Of prey
as the eagles. Like the HINGED drag
ons Of old story, they can raVage
earth, air and sea and feed promiscu-
ously on the denizens Of all three ele-
ments. From serpents on the burning
desert to seals on the everlasting ice,
from monkeys in the tropical forests
to marmots on the Alpine slopes, from
dead sheep on highland hills to pea
cocks in the Indian jungles, no form Of
fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them,
and the young eagle, driven by the in
exorable law Of his race from the home
where he was reared, finds a free
breakfast table wherever he files

eABY'S PRETTY CURLS.

Pulled Them on In Car and Eus-
barrassed Her Mamma.
A we'll dressed woman with beauti-
full baby in her arms attracted the at
tention Of all the passengers on a Ger
mantowD car. Every one was fasci-
mated by the baby's pretty and smiling
face and particularly by two golden
curls which hung down her cheeks.
After awhile the child became nerT-
GUS and began to tug at one of the
curls which protruded from her hood.
The woman, presumably her mother,
quickly stopped her, but a few mo-
ments later she looked out Of the win
dow. No sooner was her face turned
than the child seized her bonnet with
both hands and pulled it off. 1t offer
er little resistance, but to the astonish'
ment Of every one on the car the curls
came with it, and the supposed golden
haired baby showed that IN reality Its
head was without the semblance OF q
hair.
The child swung the bonnet to and
fro and laughingly held it up for the
inspection Of the other passengers. II
was almost q minute before the WON
an turned around. When she saw
what the baby had done, her face
flushed, and without word she pick
ed up the child and walked sedately
out Of the car. When last seen, she
was trudging down Spring Garden
street with the baby tucked under hel
arm like q sack Of oats, but still hold
ing tightly to the bonnet and coolng

ga good many people," said veter-
an stage manager the other day, "haVe
an idea that beyond the scenes OF g.
stage there is great fun and hilarity
and that actors have Jolly sort or
time between their appearances before
the audience. The fact is q military
camp during times Of inspection IS no
more sedate than is the rear OF any
we'll regulated stage when the pubic
in front Of the footlights IS being en-
tertained. The shifting Of scenes and
the proper execution Of an intricate
nlay REQUIRE all the thought that can
he ciyen them. All the men and women
have all they can do to properly per-
form their parts. If q manager IS an
easy going man, caring little for aus
eipline, he soon gets to the emo OF MS
career. You may be sure there Is no
business that is carried on in o more
businesslike way than is the play
house, and when the fun is on IN the
front those behind the scenes are care

ply the trade carried OH by this
man in this town. Any one go
ing to this town will see his sign in
front of a large brick building on the
main square. Entering the door of
this building ones eyes will almost
certainly fall upon middle-aged
man, of an average size, with very
light hair and corresponding mus
tache. This man is the proprietor Of
the business. He comes forward with
quick but firm step and is ever ready
to welcome customers.
Looking around, the visitor can
soon get some idea of what is meant
by My Business at the beginning
of this. One side of the room is filed
with dry goods, while an immense
stock of shoes fills the other. The
millinery department occupies one
side of the back part of the room.
To the right of this is found the gro
Gerry department, while over these an

CHIMNEY FIRES.
Why Salt Is Commonly Used to Tut
Them Ont

why Salt 1s Commonly Used to Tut
Them Out.
IN accounts of chimney fires it is
common to read that the fire was ex-
tinguished by throwing salt down the
chimney. Salt is used because there
IS liberated from it when it comes into
contact with the fire gas that within
an inclosed space like a chipnev ia
very effective in extinguishEs fro
The primary purpose in throwing salt
or anything else down q burning CHM
ney is to dislodge the burning SCOT,
chimney fires being caused by the igni-
tion Of the SCOT clinging to the inside
of the chimney. Salt is used for this
purpose not alone because OF its pecul-
lar effectiveness, but also because it is
something available for the purpose
that can commonly be found a. hand
in q house. 1t is thrown down the
chimney in such a manner that it will
rattle down the sides and by its weight
knock down the SCOT and sparks cling
ing to the chimney's insides.
A bucket of sand has been put to the
same use with good effect, and some
times a scuttle Of coal has been poured
down the chimney, the coal bounding
about from side to side as it dropped
and so doing its work effectively.
Sometimes a brick is taken from the
chimney itself and, tied to a clothes
line, is hauled up and down the CHM
ney, with the same result. At the
hearth below or at the bottom Of the
chimney wherever the sparks may fall
there is stationed man with Q pail Of
water to put out whatever fire may
drop. Water is not played on q chin
ney fire from hose because it is not
necessary, and the water would do
more damage than the fire.
The damage caused by q fire in
chimney when it is confined there is
nothing or next to nothing. Left alone,
however, a chimney fire might work its
way into building and so prove de-
structive, and therefore slight as they
may be in themselves or as they might
be in their consequences chimney fires
are always put out and commonly in
the manner described.-Exchange.
