NUTMEG CRAVINGS.
Interesting Items Boiled Down For the Benefit of our Rusy Readers.

I1arenz Kopf, Winsted baker, re- ceived message yesterday from his brother, Marcus Kopf of New York, saying that the latter's wife and four children perished in the disaster to the General SIocum Tuesday. The children were Emil. aged 10; Francis, aged 8; Theodore, 5, and Ella, l.
 George D. Curtis, Jr, the 17-years-old son of prominent Bridgeport citizen, was instantly killed at the gymnasium of the Seaside institute last night when attempting to turn Eomersault from the flying rings. When on the rings A.e missed his hold and fell head first on the mat, breaking his neck

 About 100 New Haven people return ing home from the circus in car No 99, were given a genuine scare when the car reached the corner of Whalley ave- nue and Dwight street, Wednesday night. Great volumes of smoke and the smell of burning wood were noticed and before the car could be stopped half of it's passengers had jumped off. The women who had seats towards the rear of the car were scared, as tns smoke came from directly under their feet, but all were removed safely and without any panic.

of the gamekeepers, recalling stories of lambs being carried away by eagles, made his way toward the rocky crags near the crest of the hill.
 Tn crevice in the rocks he saw tiny shoe, and In deeper cleft little higher up he found the body of the missing child.
 The sight was pitiful one. Both eyes were missing, and the child's face was covered with blood From her right cheek a piece of flesh had been torn away, and on her arms. hands and neck were other wounds that told their own terrible story.
 On the clothing were found, outlined in the little ones blood, the cruel marks of an eagles claws, and clutched in the baby's tiny hand was bunch of eagles feathers.
 The gamekeeper shouted for his feI- low searchers when he discovered the chfld's body. Swiftly they gathered round the cleft in the rocks. There they stood silent with horror and sorrow when they saw the child. Some of them, rough, strong, sturdy men. wept
 The little ones mother was brought to the spot by the commotion, and be- fore the news could be broken to her had caught sight of her baby's mangled body.
 With a heart-broken cry she c1asped the little one in her arms. She tainted, and had to be carried unconscious down the hillside to her cottage
 The news soon spread through all the countryside, and the gamekeepers took their guns and spread themselves out to search for the eagle. This has been unsuccessful so far.
 Two years ago an eagle attacked and killed deer in Sutherlandshire and fed on it's body until the keepers drove it off. Lambs are sometimes missed and their skeletons afterward found on the hill- tops.
 It is 50 years, however, since such a tragedy as that here related occurred.

EAGLE STEALS BABE.
STRANGE STORY WHICH HAS 5Usr COME FROM SCOTLAND.
Bird of Prey Carries Of Eighteen Months-O1d Chi1d--Moth ther Finds Mutilated Form of Darling
 Lying on Rocks.

While little girl about IS months old, the only daughter of 8 young Guth- erlandshire crofter, living about mile from Invershin station, on the Highland railway, was playing at her fathers cottage door, an eagle swooped down. gripped her in it's claws and carried her off to the mountains, where some hours later her dead and mutilated body was found by a gamekeeper.
 At first there was no clew to the mys- tery of her sudden disappearance. The little one had been playing in the sun- shine while her mother was baking bread, and her father was still at work in the fields.
 Her baking finished, the mother pre- pared tea, and called the child. As there was no response, she went to look for her, and, not seeing her anywhere. be- came alarmed and went in search of her husband.
 Together they searched the country road, the fields and the hillside, calling the little ones name and waiting in vain for an answer.
 Crofters and gamekeepers and all their neighbors soon joined in the search in the gathering dusk, and under the sup position that the baby had been kid- naped by gypsies or travelling tinkersa of whom several had been seen In the neighborhood earlier in the week, search parties were formed to SCOUT the coun- tryside.
 No trace of any strangers was founds however, and not the faintest clew to the little one's fate. Tn despair the father headed party to search the river, though it was felt to be impossible that the child could have strayed so far.
 Meanwhile, gamekeepers' party was hunting through the dense broom which covered neighboring hill, and while this investigation was in progress one

The Original of Bluebeard.

The original Bluebeards of nursery lore was Giles, marquis de Laval and marshal of France. He was a fearless general, and greatly distinguished him. self under Charles VI. and Charles VII, but his bravery was completely eclipsed by his cruelty and wickedness Wher- ever he went he was followed by his band of actors, sorcerers, packs of hounds and crowds of retainers It was said that he would gain the love of young boys and girls and then kill them In order to obtain their blood for in- cantations and charms. The duke of Brittany, against whom he had commit- ted crime of state, condemned him to be burnt alive at Nantes, but later he took pity on hin and remitted the sen- tence so that he was strangled before he was burned.
