Everybody knows what dangerous
occupation the chamois hunters OF the
Alps have to endure to make livcli-
hood. but few know that these "chas-
seurs de chamois" have side line that
is still more vcnturesome.
1t ia that OF capturing young eagles
Only the more daring OF the chamois
hunters undertake II. despite tho fact
that the financial rewards are much
greater than comes to those who de-
vote themselves entirely to shooting
the nimble-footed animals whose soft
skin is always In such demand
The eagle OF the Alps is royal bird
who builds his nest far above the rest
OF the earth's inhabitants. The most
inaccessible cliffs. guarding deep lying
gorges and crowned with snow-cappcd
peaks. is his favorite spot for home
making. and It is to these places that
the eagle hunter has to go.
The method OF the hunt is not only
dangerous. but 1t is excessively tedious
as well. II necessitates. sometimes. the
searchers hanging in midair for hours
Mt time. The circling OF the eagles is
carefully watched and the cleft noted
on which the nest is probably located.
This can only be determined after long
and careful study OF tho birds habits,
The center OF the diameter OF their cir
cular flight is sure to be near the nest
and the young eagles.
The next thing is to get to the top of
tho cliff and rig mp double set of pull
leys. The hauling pulley is fastened
on n sturdy standing tree firmly rooted
In the intricacies OF the mountain top

No D,n.r-n.c In sugars.

The beet sugar manufacturers OF Col.
orndo find they have another Zoe to
contend with. and that right here In
the state. namely. n prejudice fosiercd
and encouraged by the cane sugar pco-
pie. that the beet product IL not avniln-
bic for all the Uses TO which the cnnc
sugar is put. Denver housewives have
been discovered who shared this prcju-
dice. and the Colorado beet sugar men
arc slowly fighting this feeling down.
This sane question was recently pro-
pounded to Prof. Il. q. Ecdzic OF the
Michigan Agricultural College. who re-
piled rs follows:
There is only one answer to these
questions. Cane sugar and beet sugar
arc the same. II IL not n question OF
similarity. but OF identity. Chemists
the world over are agreed as to the
identity OF cane and beet sugar, and all
statements OF difference In properties
OF inferiority or superiority 10 these SUI
gars-arc made either In ignorance or
deception.
THE suspicion was aroused by tho
sugar trust that beet sugar was inferior
TO cane sugar. and this suspicion has
been carefully nourishcd by the sugar
trust, and the statement has been so
often repeated that many folks have
believed IL. What nrc the facts7 For
tho last three years the people Of the
northern states have used beet sugar
almost exclusively. Look mt the
worlds sugar production in 1888. We
were Mt war with Spain. and little SUI
gar was produced in Cuba and Porto
Rico. and less still was exported. Mono
was obtained from the Philippine
islands: tho sugar from the Sandwich
islands wns required for our people on
the Pacific coast: Louisiana could not
make enough sugar to supply herself
and the Gulf states. Where could Wa
get enough sugar to supply the millions
of tons required for the worlds con-
sumption II we depended on sugar
from the cane alone? The supply OF
sugar from sugar cane has been Insult
ficicnt TO fill and rcplcnish the worlds
sugar bowl, and for three years past
we have been in n large measure cut
on from that source. II 1t bau not been
for the beet sugar of Europe the world
would have gone hungry. Beet sugar
mt this time furnishes two-thirds of the
worlds supply. The supply OF refined
sugar for our own use for three years
past has consisted largely OF beet SUI
gar from Germany and France.
"Why such dcccYtlon? Because the
American manufacturers have brought
the process to such perfection that they
turn out from their factories refined
sugar. and nothing but refined sugar.
requiring no mid from the sugar rcfin-
ers OF New York. II this superior pro-
cess comes into general use 'Othcllo's
occupation Is gone In this country. and
our own factories will furnish our pco-
pie with pure sugar fresh from The
mint and the sugar trust, with its
peculiar methods. may retire from the

The jury twice asked Judge Green
for further and renewed instructions,
and also asked him to define two OF
the questions offered by the defendant.
One was rs to whether they could. un.
der the evidence and instructions, find
for Doyle upon the Tidal Wave claim
and not upon the Bob Tail No. . and

sized former instructions that such u
finding could be made.
The verdict decided that Burns and
Doyle entered into II contract Febru-

share and share alike In all claims

should In the future acquire. II de-
cided that the plaintiffs Interests In

The Masters Compliment.

1t was before one of the masters of
the instrument that young lady who
had for years been studying the piano,
secured permission to play "trial' so
as to satisfy herself as to whether she
had been as well taught and we'll
grounded in the rudiments of the art
as she believed she had been. The
piece she selected to play was one of
the brilliant bits such as only an artist
can perform satisfactorily. She blum
dered through it, as she thought, in
brilliant fashion, and then leaned back
with n satisfied air to hear the pro-
nouncement of the master He drew
a long breath, motioned her aside,
took his seat at the piano and played
the selection as it should have been
played in his opinion. She hardly rec.
ognized it. Then he turned to her and
said politely as possible:
"Out of the notes that you dropped
when you played that piece, Miss,
there could be made another brilliant
piece, already."-New York Times.

Engiishmen and the Queen.

Curiously enough the great mass OF
Englishmen knew little or nothing of
the sovereign as their ruler. They
had only the vaguest idea of the part
she took in the government of her
realm and her people; they knew prac-
tically nothing of the controlling and
dominant force she exercised in inter-
national and domestic politics. But
about this they cared nothing. 1t was
sufficient for them to know that she
was good woman, woman whose
heart always went out to her people,
who shared with them their joys as
well as their sorrows, who was keenly
interested in everything that could
make them better and happier. And
perhaps more than anything else was
the knowledge that she was woman
who had suffered much, whose heart
had been sorely wrenched, and whose
spirit often tried, and yet through it all
she had remained serene, hopeful, al
ways an example for right living, al
ways an inspiration to the weary and
the afflicted. Perhaps that was the
real secret of the devotion which she
inspired in Englishmen the world over.

AMERICAN MULES EXALTED.
Growing International Recognition Of
Their Merits Reported

One effect of the Anglo Boer war in
South Africa has been to eXalt not
only in market value, but also in Of
fetal consideration, the American
mule. There has been constant de-
mand for American mules for service
in the military operation of the Eng
lish. The distinction of the American
mule has become international. and it
need be no surprise. therefore, that in
recent official publications in Washing
ton the mule, no longer the subject
of sighting official reference should
have a position of dignity and promi-
nence.
Thus, recently, there has appeared
bulletin concerning the number of
mules in large cities from which it ap-
pears that there are nov 600 mules
in New York City. 500 in Chicago. 213
in Boston and thirty-seven in Detroit,
these being the cities in which mules
are least esteemed. In Philadelphia
the number is 1900, in Baltimore 1000,
in Kansas City 2400, in st. Louis $500,
and in New Orleans 3400.
The former distinction of Memphis
as the great mule city has been oblit-
Grated in the march of progress of the
mule to belated distinction. and the to-
tai of Memphis is exceeded by Louis
vile, city much further north. the
industrial interests of which are not
such as to make many calls for the
purchase of mules.
The distinction of the American
mule as recognized officially does not
stop short with mere enumeration, for
there appears also q statement show
ing 'the number of mules per 100000
inhabitants in certain cities and groups
of cities of the United States" Thus
1t appears that there are 1895 mules
to each 100000 inhabitants in New Or
leans, and ninety-nine mules only TO
each 100000 inhabitants in Washing
ton, in which mules are but poorly
represented.
In New York City it may be of in
terest to the future historian to know
on official authority. there are seven
mules for each 100000 inhabitants in
the borough of Queens. eight in the
borough of Brooklyn. twenty-five in
the borough of Manhattan, twenty-five
in the borough OF Richmond. and thir-
ty-one in the borough of The Bronx.
Why this disparity exists in the bor-
ough of The Bronx there is no accom-
panying official eXplanation.-Ne
York Sun.

A gentleman invited certain lectur-
er to his house to take tea.
Immediately on being seated at the
table little daughter of the house
said to the guest abruptly:
Where is your wife,"
The lecturer, who had recently sep
arated from his better half, was sur
prised and annoyed at the question
and stammered forth the truth:
Il don't know"
Don't know?" repeated the child.
"Why don't you know?''
Finding that the child persisted in
her interrogations, despite the mild re-
proof of the parents, he decided to
make n clean breast of the matter and
have it over at once, so he said with
calmness:
well, We don't live together. We
think, as we can't agree, we'd better
not"
He stifled groan as the child began
again, and darted an exasperated look
at her parents.
But the little torment would not be
quieted until she exclaimed:
Cant agree? Then why don't you
fight it out, the same as father and
mother do?"
