Eagles KIN . Baby.

In a village in the northern Carpa-
thians the wife Of Michael Davidovics.
a farmer was gathering brushwood ths
other day. After wrapping up her
baby she left him on q sunny bank.
When she returned after q short time,
she found only blood-stained swaddiing
clothes. At first she thought that
wolves might have torn the baby to
pieces. But she soon knew the truth.
Two eagles. dashing down, seized the
blood-stained rags and few with them
up to their eyrie. The woman ran. la.
menting. into the village. and the men.
armed with muskets, stormed the
eagles eyrie on the top Of the rocky
mountain. One Of the eagles was
wounded, but the other escaped. Among
the ice-clad rocks close by the eyrie
the bones and head Of the baby were
found.-Francis Perger In Chicago

The Shadows Lift.

We buried, Lennon in the little
c~hurchyard on the slope. Of h hill, and
there he lies peacefully enough within
Sound of the restless ocean. and amid
the tropical flowers and foliage Of that
far-off land. From his own point OF
view he had been a deeply-injured man,
and the strain of Corsican blood that
flowed through his veins kept the mem
orv of his injury fresh, and the passion
of vengeance that held him to the end
Rad been drawn from his mothers
breast. Let him rest where we la1d
him! Leave him to the judgment OF a
merciful God!
We took our cargo on board ana
narted from Manuel n his friendly
Fiiians with many expressions or re-
greet. We had previously subscribed to
=. document drawn up by Manuel, CIV
ing an account of the death of the Rev.
Mr.. Dixon, o~ccasioned by the bursting
of a revolver. We touched at Levuka'
and there a surprise awaited us, Tor the
first white man who boarded US was
Anguish.
A very few words will suffice to ex.
plain his presence. When he foutu
that his quarry had escaped him IN
Manchester he FASTENED back to En-
field, but could get no news either OF
D'Orville or myself, and he had peer
hunting about for more than a lort-
night before my letter to Nora came to
hand. 1t had been kept back. as they
knew from its date; but as l aIter-
wards found, it was delivered just as
had sealed it UP, and evidently no one
had tempered with 1t.
Anguish started at once for FIJI, put
a chapter of accidents befell him, ano
he was but just come to Levuka when
we arrived. He and. N.Y. father became
Fast friends, and he brought his traps
aboard, and in less than a week the
Cortsarde's head was pointed Sydney-
ward. and when we reached that point
she was sold, and we came nome by q
p. & o. boat.
I had written two or three long let
tiers to Nora and sent them on by the
mail boat before we left Fiji, so that
she would get them before we reached
England, and I further wrote to Mr.
Courtney, giving him full particulars
of the deaths of the leading men or the
Ragged Thirteen. When I finished With
INV descriptions, / laid before him GER
tain proposals for his consideration
to-wit.: that he would look with favor
upon my suit for his daughters hand
and, in the event Of his agreeing there
to. I limited at, certain settlements
which, by the generosity OF my dear
/ father, I should be able to make.
We left the boat at Brindisi and
travelled with all haste overland, and
were in England two or three days be-
fore they expected us. and that I might
know my fate-for I was fearful lest
Mr.. Courtney's scruples might set up a
great barrier to my wishes-I sent 9
note to Enfield, and told Nora that
should be in the "schoolroom" within
an hour of her reading my epistle.

tence of American authority to sup
press the hideous practices Of the ma
tives. Two. events, both especially sig
nifcant and both recent, emphasize the
truth of this statement.
. These two events are the murder of
City Engineer Wilson and Second Lieu
tenant Brewer; the latter of the
Twenty-seventh Infantry. The circum-
stances Of Brewers death are of a ma
Iture almost too: barbarous for belief;
while as to. Wilson, the fact. that he
was murdered within the outskirts of
Manila, almost in the very lines of one
of our military patrols, and that his
murder took place in broad daylight,
will show the. difficulty Of maintaining
anything like an efficient civil govern
uent in these vast islands.

hands had been bound to his sides and
his feet tied together. In this awful
position, with deaths torture aggra-
waited by the sight of the food, he
was left to starve.
The facts surrounding the death OF
Lieutenant Brewer were learned
through the confession of one, of the
men arrested for the murder of En-
gineer Wilson-and who, with his
seven companions, confessed to hav-
ing killed and robbed Mr.. Wilson, and
%incidently confessed the murder OF
Lieutenant Brewer. The confession
duplicates several other persons and
the date fixed for the execution Of
these men has been postponed in the
hope that the others may be appre.
hended.

THE TIDE. IS N

Business Suspended and Schools Closed
When Waves Roll In.
On Holland island, in Chesapeaks
bay, is the queerest town in the Unit
ed States. The ocean tides regulate
the whole life of the place. At low
tide the town is full OF activity. BUSH
ness, society functions, and schools
are then carried on. But when the
flood tide sets in all people and chill
dren scamper for their homes, regard
less OF the time of day or night. The
cause of this peculiar arrangement is
the fact that the town is gradually
sinking under the waters Of the bay.
Holland island. which used to be a
body Of land rising high above the
water, has sunk rapidly in the past
few years. Its principal streets are
flooded at high tide. Only the houses
on the high central ridge of the island
are above water. When the high
tide occurs. at 4 or S o'clock in the
morning, the affairs Of this town 20 on,
much the same as in any other town.
By 6 or z o'clock the water has receded
from the streets and the merchants
open their stores. At 9 o'clock the
children 60 to school. and the women;

thought that they can stay away from.
home till late in the afternoon, when
the returning high tide is due. But
when the high tide occurs at midday,
all this is changed. The children must
get up and go to school before light,
in the morning. Men haste down town
to their stores at 3 and 4 o'clock in.
the morning, anxious to do part of q
days business before the tide comes in.
Before noon they must close their
shops and go home till evening, when
they can open up again at low tide.
In spite Of these inconvenience, 600
people live on Holland island. They
are mostly oystermen and their fami-
lies. Much labor and money have been
expended by the property owners to
combat the terrible action Of the swift
running tides, but now all seems DOOM
ed to destruction. This island is par
ticularly we'll situated for the best
possible action of the tides. AS the
tide advances 1t cuts away on the west.
then travels up Holland straits and
eats away on the south and east.
