FIERCE ALPINE EAGLES.

They Are Ferocious In Their Attack
on Wayfarers.
The Maritime Alps of eastern
! France have been noted as being tn,
haunt of the most ferocious ane
| powerful breed Of eagles in exist
ence.
Children innumerable have beer
carried off by them, and they ever
attack adults on occasions, some.
times with dire results.
A postman named Gustave Silva
| who carried the mails on foot be.
tween the villages of Sospello and
Puget Theniers, was set upon while
crossing the pass by three large
birds and frightfully injured.
He managed to drive off his wing
ed assailants with the aid Of his
alpenstock and eventually reached
his destination with his bag of let
tiers. But his case was from the
first regarded as hopeless by the
local doctors, and after lingering in
indescribable agony for six days he
succumbed to his wounds.
Meanwhile. two young French
tourists, Messrs. Joseph Monand
and. Antoine Neyssel, went up into
the, mountains to try: to kill the
birds that had done the damage
and were sayagely attacked. in their.
turn. Both men were armed, but,
the sudden onslaught of the huge
winged creatures completely UNI
neryed them, and after firing only
one shot they tried to escape by
running.
The birds, however, struck them
down ere they had gone many yards,
and they would have doubtless been
both torn to- pieces where they lay
but for the opportune arrival Of a
party Of shepherds.
These succeeded in rescuing Mr.,
Neysel alive, but terribly injured.
he having sustained no fewer than
ten severe wounds in the head and
back, besides innumerable minor
decorations and abrasions.
His companion, Mr.. Monand, was
killed outright early in the fray.
Mr., Neyssel recovered after six
weeks in bed, but is disfgured for
life. Stray Stories.

Germany's Example.

Does protection protect? Germany
thinks so, for that country has made
greater material progress since 1880,
when her present protective tariff was
adopted, than during any like period in
her history. And not only has she de-
veloped her home market and prosper
ed accordingly, but she has succeeded
in capturing big trade in other coun-
tries, as the label Made In Germany"
seen on many articles sold in the Unit
ed States, Great Britain and else
where, amply attests. Furthermore,
this commercial gain has been accom-
panied by diminished emigration. Com
paratively few Germans now seek
homes in other lands, because condi-
tons in the fatherland are more salts
factory than formerly. There is hard
" doubt that the example presented
by Germany has had powerful effect

England and giving life to Mr.. Cham
berlain's campaign. Next to the Unit

The Ran and the Match.

"Show me two men with unlighted
cigarettes, and if watched them for a
minute | can tell you correctly wheth-
er the one who has the match is from
Philadelphia, Boston or New York
The speaker was a person of some
observation, and his friend naturally
asked:
How can you tell?'
"In this way" said the observant
man. IF the man is a Philadelphia
he will strike the match, hold it for
his friend to get a light, then take a
light himself and throw the match
away. If he is a Bostonian he will
light his own cigarette first, then hold
the match for his friend and after that
throw it away. If he is a New Yorker,
however, he will strike the match,
light his own cigarette and throw the
match away. "-Philadelphia Press.

necessary for neat work. Water or
blood on the wool makes it very diff
cult to dress the animal nicely.
If the sheep is an old one it may be
stunned before bleeding. If a young
one the same purpose is served by dis
locating the neck after cutting the
throat. This is accomplished by put
ting one hand on the poll or top of the
head and the other hand under the
chin, giving a sharp twist upward.
Lay the sheep on its side on the plat
form, with its head hanging over the
end. Grasp the chin in the left hand
and stick a knife through the neck

Mr. Boss describes the logging OUT
Of the sheep by splitting the skin on
the back of the front leg from dew
claws to little above the knee and on
the hind legs to the middle line. The
latter are skinned around the hooks
and down to the hoofs, and the feet
are cut off at the toe joints. Next the
knife is run between the cords and
bone back of the shins, and the legs
are tied together just above the pas
tern joints. The skin is operfed from

Off" the skin by grasping the edge of
the pelt firmly in one hand, pulling it
mp tight and working the other with
fist closed between the pelt and the
body. The .fsting off" is downward
over the fore quarters and upward
and backward over the hind quarters.
1t is unwise to pull down the skin over
the hind legs, as the membrane cover
sng the flesh is sure to be ruptured and
an unsightly prearance given to the
carcass. The wool should always be
held away from the flesh for the sake
of cleanliness. The skin on the legs
should be pulled away from the body
rather than toward it in order to pre-
serve the covering of the meat When
the pelt has been loosened over the
sides and back it should be stripped
down over the neck and cut off close
to the ears. The head may then be
removed without being skinned by cut
ting through the atlas joint.
The manner of opening the carcass
and removing the entrails, heart, lungs
and other organs is shown in the Sec
ond cut. For home use split the breast

People VIII Say Whether Changes
Shall Be Made In Tariff Policy.
The Dayton co. News, a Democratic
journal, says:
''It is interesting to observe that the
American Protective Tariff league eX-
presses itself as satisfied with present
trade conditions and the future outlook
for trade and sees no necessity for any
changes in the tariff schedule or any
agitation for reciprocity. But the man
ufacturers, the farmers and business
men, together with the great masses
Of the people, realize the necessity for
revision for various reasons"
Trade conditions in the United States
since the passage of the Dingley tariff
law in 1897 have been and still remain
the best ever known in the United
States or in any other country-best
for the manufacturers. best for the
farmers, best for the business men.
best for the great masses Of the peo-
pie, including several millions of wage
earners. Is 1t wise to disturb these
conditions and bring about the distrust,
the feeling of instability, the confusion.
the alarm and the general demOraliza-
ton Of business that would with abso-
lutte certainty attend a tearing up Of
the tariff? To this question the Tariff
league answers: No. 1t would be nei-
Their wise nor prudent nor expedient;
that the mischief and damage resulting
from tariff tinkering at this time would
greatly outweigh any evils that may
be justly attributed to the tariff as it
Is. We believe that the great masses
Of the people hold this view. If we
are in error. the results of the cam
paign of 1904 will show it. The chief
issue, almost the only issue, this year
will be, "Shall the tariff be torn up or
shall the tariff be let alone?" The
great masses of the people will decide,
and we have no doubt as to what the
decision will be.

Andrew Boss of Minnesota Tells How
to Dress "a Sheep.
Much of the sleepy flavor of NUT
ton, according to Mr.. Boss of the Min
nesota College of Agriculture, comes
from the generation Of gases in the
stomach after the sheep is killed. For
this reason sheep should be dressed as
rapidly as possible. A platform six or
eight inches high is convenient thing
to work on and aids in keeping the
blood away from the body, insuring a
cleaner carcass. A clean, dry place is
