An Eagles Eye.

"The eye Of the American eagle has
not come in for its share of attention."
said a patriot who has an ardent love
for the national bird, land 1t seems
to me that some man who is capable
of developing to the fullest the
grandeur and almost limitless POSSIBLE
tiles of this finished work Of nature
should take the subject up. The eagle
has been conspicuous in literature and
in art generally. Poets have sung
their songs about the aerial wonder
They have allowed their imaginatiOns
to soar out into the upper air, and all
that sort of thing. | have read some.
where of little sketch about the rare
delicacy and skill nature has displayed
in carving the eagles beak. The trib-
ute is amply deserved. The eagles
beak, his pinions, his claws, and in
fact everything about the eagle, appeal
to me.
''But / was speaking of the eagles
eye. Did you ever look into the eye of
an eagle? If so, have you not been
impressed with the unspeakable ear
nestness, the frankness and honesty to
be found here? Have you thought of
how much OF the eagles nature you
could find in an eagles eyes-bOw
much Of that wild, passionate love of
freedom? How much of that splendid
craving to soar forever above and be-
yond the callOus nothings of a too re-
stricted life nearer the ground Could
you not read somewhat of the eagles
virtuous love Of things almost human
the love of mate, and the love of home?
There is a world in the eagles eyes,
world of philosophic reflection and the
pity is that the cOlors cannot be pre-
served. At any rate it is an interest
ing subject, and one which might be
developed if some person would but
take the time in this rushing age to
pay passing tribute to this wonder

FOOTBALL IN ITALY.
1t is Quite Different From the English
CamR.

The new game of Calico (footbalD
is taking on in Milan, writes the Milan
correspondent of the Paris Messenger.
Some people compare it with the old
Italian game of Calico, but there is a
great difference between the two. The
Italian game is played in an open
space divided in two equal parts, with
twenty-five players OH the fenced
round spot. On each side there are
four groups of players; the Innanzi In
front and all in a close line to the bOun.
Diary. After these come the ScOncia.
tori then the Datoriinnanzi and then
the DatoriindietrO, who closed the
lines. The players on each side wear
different colors. This year. when the
game was played in Florence, the
colors were red and blue.
The game itself consists of neutral
throwing ball against slab on one
Of the walls round the place where the
game is played. The Innanzi imme-
diately try to catch the ball when it
reaches their lines and throw it to the
Sconciatori at their back, who, in their
time, throw it to the Datorinnanzi who
must then try to send it over the fence
Of the opposing party. But, as there
is usually a battle to fight with the
opposing party, before this can be
done, the DatOriinnanzi throw the ball
to the Datoriindietro, who are in more
protected place and have greater
chance of success. When the ball is
thrown over the fence of the opposing
party that finishes the game.
Sometimes a clever Innanzi may win
the game by himself by Selling the ball
and reaching the enemy's fence by
lodging backward and forward among
the lines. But this is very difficult and
seldom successful
In Olden times the games often ended
in a real battle, in which one at least
of the players was killed.
The game of Calico is always played
in medieval costumes. Like tOurna-
ment, it used always to be played on
the occasion of princely marriage. 1t
had not been played, however, since
1880; but, in 1898, it was again played
in honor of the visit of King Humbert
and Queen Margherita to Florence.
1t was again played this year in Flor
ence. and the most noble families Of
bO /.ify tonl- norf in IL
The English game Of football is but
a poor imitation of the Italian CALICO;
nevertheless, even as such, it is taking
well in Milan.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R, G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade" says:
Gradual resumption OF anthracite
coal mining is encouraging, although
The output is not yet sufficient to have
any commercial value. Business con-
ditlons are unsatisfactory at the strike
center, but reports from all other Sec
tons indicate unusually prompt revival
after the summer vacation season with
exceptionally large operations among
dealers in the agricultural regions.
Notwithstanding some bad weather,
large crops are now practically asSur-
ed, although the most sanguine results
may not be attained Manufacturing
plants are now fully occupied as a rule,
The least gratifying reports coming from
furnaces that cannot secure coke owing
to railway blockades. The transporter
ton problem is becoming serious, as
the factor OF crop moving is about to
be added, and moreover, much coal
must be moved by rail that usually
goes to consumers by lake and canal.
Iron furnaces are suSpcnding pro-
duction because coke cannot be sccur-
ed, and it is evident that the rate OF
output at the opening of the new month
will show a serious loss
"Thc dry goods jobbing trade re-
ports a liberal distrbu ion, and sup
plies are only moderate in the primary
market. Changed conditions in the
raw material have accelerated inquiries
for cotton goods, buyers seeking figures
on forward contracts and placing a fair
amount of orders. Slightly less activity
is seen in mems wear, WOODEN and
worsted fabrics, but fancy worsteds are
in better request. At last footwear
makers have been able to secure a mod
crate advance in price in response to
the recent sharp rise in materials
Leather is strong and active. while
hides made higher record prices, but

Snatched Success.

The genius that turns failure into
success was shown by some boys in Il
small town who were giving a lawn
party to raise money to defray the
expenses Of a camping expedition.
The evening was too cool to incline
folk strongly toward ice-cream out Of
doors, and, besides, there was SINH
lar entertainment in another part of
the town. The boys realized with dis
may that they were "up against it," as
one of them put it, but another assert
ed, "NOt if the girls will help u.s."
Their girl friends fell in readily with
the part proposed to them, and walked
through the streets, some on one side
and some Oh another, calling out to
each other at intervals. Are you going
to the lawn party?" and replying,
"Why, what lawn partyT' to which
the answer would be returned loudly,
1.-THE one the boys are giving in the
Daisy Field it's peachy." The boys
sold the ice-cream and had their camp,
and the girls visited them in it and
were treated royalty.

WHY We Grow Old.

A French writer, Jean Finot, dis.
cussing the question why we grow
old. says:
For three reasons: First, want of
physical exercise in the open air;
second, poisoning by microbes which
the phagocytes have not succeeded in
destroying; third fear of death. 1t
is hard to imagine the Importance of
this last element. If a man fears
death, it will carry him away. And
yet it j. quite pleasant, too; no sensa-
ton could be compared to it"

To Carry Two Hundred Tons.

There has been built lately for the
Kaiser Dock, at Bremerhaven, the larg.

consists of four-legged tower sup
porting a revolving centre post, to
which is attached horizontal jib, one
arm of which carries a counter-bal-
ance at the extreme end, and the other
end crab capable of travelling from
its extreme end to the edge of the tow
er. 1t is competent to carry a test load
Of 200 tons.
