STORIES ABOUT EAGLES.
A Battle With Stag - Knocking a
Sheep Over Precipice.
From the Scotsman.

From the Scotsman.
Some years ago Sir Charles Mordaunt
witnessed in Scotland strange battle be-
tween an eagle and stag. which complete
ly dispels any theory that the ornltholo-
gist may put forward as to eagles not at
tacking large animals. The bird singled out
from q herd one particular buck, which 1t
succeeded in driving from the rest. It
struck the animal repeatedly with Its pow
erful wings knocked 1t down and finally
killed 1t. Baron Schroeder witnessed still
more remarkable spectacle. An eagle at
tackled a fawn which was one of a herd in
the highlands. The cries of the little one
were answered by it's dam. which sprang>
upon the eagle and struck it repeatedly
with its forefeet. FaWn. deer and eagle
rolled headlong down a decivity, and the
bird was dislodged from Its hold and the
fawn rescued. But Sir Kenneth Mackenzie
knows a more thrilling story than either of
these, for, according to report, an eagle
was rent in twain during battle in his for
est of Gairloch. Fixing its talons in the
quarters of roe. the bird was dashed
against a tree. to a branch of which it en-
deavored to hold to stay the flight Of its
captive. The bird was halyed in an in
slant.
Many traditions are extant as to eagles
having carried off and devoured children
In the north of England the legend is per-
petuated by the name of many an inn, the
sign THE Eagle and the Child being COM
mon. The most recent case bearing close
scrutiny appears to be one which occurred
in South Africa A Boer farmer, living on
the veldt just beyond Barberton, whose
stock had been harried by eagles, lay in
ambush for the aerial robbers and saw one
of them descend and carry off the f1ve-year-
old child Of one of his Kaffir servants. He
shot the bird. which. with the child still
clutched in its grip. fell into thorn bush.
The bird was dead when picked up, but the
babe was little hurt. The eagle measured
nine feet from tip to tip of the wings.
Other stories are told to similar end, but
appear less credible than this one.
Two eagles will stalk a covert In con-
cert. While one conceals itself the other
beats about the bushes with a great
screaming, driving out its quarry for the
hidden eagle to sweep down and make an
end of it. An even more insidious method
has been observed. when an eagle, detecting
a sheep on the edge of a precpice, flew at
it, screaming shrlly. and with forceful beat
of wing hurled it into the valley below
where 1t could devour 1t at Its leisure
There Is good reason for believing, after ALL
the ancient legend to the manner in
which Eschylus. the Greek poet, met his
death. 1t Is said that eagle dropped a
turtle on his bald head. Algerian travellers
are familiar with the sight of eagles carry
ing turtles and tortoises to a height and
dropping them upon rocks to break the
creatures shells and render the flesh acces-
sible.

ROYAL ATHLETES.
Queen Alexandra Encouraging English
Princesses in Outdoor Sports.

I
From the London Modern Society.
Queen Alexandra has always been an
advocate of games and athletics for girls, II
kept within reason. She herself was very
fond of all outdoor games as child. IN
running she was swift OF foot as Atalanta'
and skating came as naturally to her as
walking. Never" wrote an enthusiastic
admirer of her, the mother of the then rec
tor of Sandringham did our dear princess
look more graceful and fairylike than when
skimming over the ice on her skates She
seemed to express the poetry of motion"
Although fond of riding. the queen, owing
to the necessity Of sitting on the wrong side
Of the saddle, has not been great horse
woman. Driving was at one time favor
ite amusement of hers, and people living
round Sandringham used to watch for the
pretty pair of grays she fooled along so
deftly. On one of her birthdays a little
carriage, with four ponies, was given her
by the Emperor Of Russia, and she drove
these either four abreast or In the usual
four-in-hand style.
Her majesty encouraged her daughters to
try every form of outdoor and indoor exer-
else, and arranged that they should receive
lessons in boating. riding. swimming and
billiards They are all fond of cycling, es-
pecially the Princess Victoria, who has
made several bicycle excursions with her
intimate friends. The Duchess Of Flies
favorite sport is salmon fishing, and few
women can throw a fly as skillfully and
play a salmon as scientifically as she can.
Princess Charles of Denmark is a good
tennis player, and has lately taken up the
fancy for croquet game in which the
queen excels The king and queen showed
their interest in swimming by their visit to
the bath club the other day to witness the
matches and they both expressed the opin-
ion that every boy and girl in the kingdom
should learn to swim, and that every facil
ity should be given for the poorer ones to
do 80

TEXAS CATTLE IN AFRICA.
Not Ordinary Steers, but Fine Stock for
Breeding Purposes.

Breeding Purposes.
From the New York Sun.
1t was announced in January last that a
large number of Texas cattle were to be
sent to South Africa, and in the course OF
time 1t was believed the shipments would
amount to at least 10000 head. On ac-
count Of rinderpest and the neglect OF
South African cattle during the recent
war that region was compelled to import
many beef cattle.
The news that came from Texas was
doubtless interpreted by many to mean that
South Africa was importing American beef
on the hoof. 1t appears, however. that this
was not the case
Several shipments have arrived at Della
goa Bay and then been forwarded to the
great plateau of the Transvaal. The Gold
Fields News contains an interesting de-
scrfption Of these shipments. which makes
it evident that the so-called Texas cattle
are not the big-boned, long-horned KIND
usually associated with the name.
Up to June 30 last 4.O50 head of cattle
from Texas had arrived In the Transvaal
and seven more cOnSignmentS were on the
way. which would bring the number up to
l., $50. Most of these cattle are fine, pick
ed heifers and well-bred bulls. They arriv-
ed in excellent condition, and the first ship
ment, by the Albanian. which carried the
record cargo of cattle to South Africa. con-
casualties on the way.
The significant fact Is that Texas cattle
are to be used largely as breeding stock
to replenish the big Boer stock farms. For
this purpose excellent stock of good breed
is being selected. The steamship Cranley.
for example. discharged a cargo of 1.5OO
heifers and few bulls. all of which were
raised on the best stock farms of southern
Texas, the cargo consisting entirely OF
Shorthorns, Shorthorn-Herefords, Jerseys,
Holsteins and pure-bred Devons.
The vast majority of the cattle which
have arrived are in far better condition
than most veld-fed Afrikander cattle after
a moderate winter season. Depots have
been established at Victoria and other
places, where the stock must go before
reaching the ultimate purchaser.
The present importations from Texas ara
taken to Africa by a large private COM
,pany under government direction. Tho
enterprise is hailed in South Africa as
benefcent work, for it Is believed that the
Importation of such useful strains of breed
ing stock will eventually tend to an all
round improvement in the South African
herds.

One on Him.

From the New York Times.
Friends of Mr.. II. H. Vreeland are whis-
pering a story which they say the presi-
dent of the Street Railway Association does
not care to have mentioned, as it distinctly
is zone on him." 1t seems that Mr. Vree-
land was enjoying a spin in an automobile
recently. and suddenly found his way
blocked by a wagon drawn by two skinny
horses. The driver seemed In no particular
hurry to clear the path, and at last Mr..
Vreeland exclaimed sarcastically:
Here, 1 say. my man, what are these
things you are driving? What are they

Sure. these is what is commonly called
horses. SIR" was the reply "and they're
