MAINE LUMBERM TALE.

Witnessed Fierce Fight Between
Two Eagles and "a Deer.
From the Bangor, Me-, Commercial.
On Monday, February II, Selden D. Rice
a prominent lumberman, witnessed a des-
perat battle in the woods near Holeb be-
tween a yearling deer and two Whitehead
ed eagles, in which the former, overcome
by his fright and injuries, finally lost his
life. When Mr. Rice came to the rescue
the deer was so exhausted that it could not
rise. Mr.. Rice took the animal into his
pung, intending to take it to Holeb dress
its wounds, and feed it. He had gone less
than half a mile before the deer gave a
final gasp and died.
Mr.. Rice started from his camp to Holeb
in a pung in the morning, and before going
far he started up a deer, which bounded
out of the woods and off down the tote
read ahead of him. After going about a
mile and half Mr.. Rice once more saw
the animal, this time coming toward him
The deer, upon seeing him, turned and
started OFF in the opposite direction.
1t was not more than five minutes later
when Mr.: Rice again saw the deer, this
time full in the road, bounding and making
desperate efforts to free itself from a large
black object which persistently chung to
its back and sides, with occasional fierce
and vengeful dashes toward it's eyes. AS
MI. Rlce advanced a few steps a large
White-headed eagle rose and circled about
them at slight altitude.
AS Mr.. Rice came upon a turn in the road
the deer was brought into full view, lying
prone upon the snow, with another large
eagle Savagely hacking at his side. The
eagle, upon seeing Mr.. Rice, left his prey
and the terrified deer attempted to rise
and escape into the woods He was COM
pletely spent with his struggles however
and after two or three Intellectual attempts
h fell back helpless on his side.
He was bleeding slightly from wounds on
tf,I ,y,1 e,,1
the flow of blood was comparatively slight
and as the encounter had lasted but a
short time, Mr.. Rice did not believe it pos
siblc that the animal had been severely
injured
Il did not think he suffered so much
from actual hurt as from fright said Mr.
Rice in relating the incident, and 1 placed
him in the back of the pung, intending to
carry him to the settlement, where he
could be cared for and nursed back to life
1t was all useless. for before we had gone
over half mile he gave a great gasp and
fell back dead"
Mr.. Rice describes the eagles as being
among the largest he has ever seen and
of the genuine white or ba1l-headed va
riety. THE wings Of the largest one would
spread six feet from tip to tip" he said,
"and his body, which was jet black, was
as large as common water pail. The
parting of the white feathers over the
black neck was easily to be seen as the
birds circled in the air over my head at a
distance of not more than thirty feet The
eagles seemed to be meditating an attack
on me, but they apparently abandoned the
project, and soaring to great altitude
disappeared In the distance"

Use OF Flowers.

Flowers are now used so generally on
evening gowns that it is good investment
to have two or three different kinds-the
large flowers with leaves massed on the
left shoulder will quite renovate a gown
that has seen its best days, and there is no
reason why these flowers should be the
they are smarter when they do not resem-
Bile any flower that ever was seen. Flow
ers are not used on the skirts of gowns as
rule. There are only few gowns of
lace. tulle or chiffon that this season have
had an overskirt caught up with sprays OF
flowers, and for the spring and summer the
fashion seems to have quite died out. But
on low-cut gowns flowers are q good idea

Fuller Undersleeves.
From the Minneapolis Times.

From the Minneapolis Times.
White undersleeves. fuller and daintier
than ever. are to be seen on all summer
gowns. They will be finished with ruffies
OF lace or with gauntlet glove. for even
the most stupid woman has discovered that
the straight band about the wrist that has
bound the lower edge of the undersleeve
heretofore is sadly unbecoming to the hand.
Therefore we shall have either ruffles about
the wrist or a iaring gauntlet effect. The
summer undersleeve will be longer than
the undersieeve in vogue this winter. IL
will begin at the elbow and will be full
and puffy. Sometimes there Is no separate
undersleeve, the sleeve on the upper arm
being closely tucked to the elbow and then
left to puff to the wrist, where 1t is bound
with a plain band of lace or velvet and
finally flares In ruffie over the hand. Ii
the arm is long the puff from elbow to
wrist is broken by bands of lace or cloth
and SO made into two or three small puffs.

Frying in Oil.

Mrs. c. N. N. asks: Do vegetable cook
ing oils have an unpleasant odor?
There Is no unpleasant odor from the
pure vegetable oils. such as you are sure
to have If you use animal fats for the
same purpose. The oil is neutral In odor
and taste and when properly used cannot
give unpleasant odors. Be careful not to
burn it by raising the temperature above
the browning point necessary, or you will
naturally have the burnt odor which is
never pleasant from any food. The most
common mistake made in heating all fats

The True Banana.

There are many varieties of the plantain
the true banana is a small variety of such
delicate structure it will not bear trans
portation, SO is never shipped to our mar
kets. This is the truly edible kind that is
thought suitable to be eaten raw by the
natives What we know as the banana is
the larger variety of plantain, which they
would not think of eating uncooked.

Select very small, very ripe bananas,
peel and cut off each end. making the ba-
mana look like a small cylinder. Dip in
beaten egg and fine bread crumbs, or if
for dessert, macaroons grated, and fry in
hot oil, same as French-fried potatoes.
These may be served for a luncheon dish
in place of meat and with fruit sauce

Banana Meal.

This method Is said to be the one en-
ployed in India: Take ordinary bananas,
cut about quarter of an inch from each
end, but do not peel them. Lay them on
a baking dish without any other addition
and bake fifteen minutes in a hot oven.
When the bananas are done the skin
should burst open like baked apple; then
turn them over and bake five minutes on
the other side. so they will be perfectly
done on all sides. Serve very hot same
dish on which they are baked; first eat the
juice and then the pulp

The study of the sponge fields of
Florida is to be undertaken by the gov
eminent with view to developing an
important industry. Florida is the
only part of the United States produe-
ing sponges OF commercial value.
There are $40 vessels with more than
1000 men employed in the industry,
and 1t is estimated that the 190O-19O1
crop will have commercial value of
$780, Sponges are found on the
eastern and western coast, owing to
the equable temperature and moderate
depth Of the water. and the absence OF
fierce hurricanes. The sponge grounds
of the Gulf OF Mexico extend from the
Florida reefs to st. Marks. and for a
distance Of fifteen miles from the
shore.
