WHERE EAGLES BUILD NESTS.
Inaccessible Spots Always Selected
for the Home

A writer who has studied the habits
OF eagles among the Scottish hills says
that the birds construct their eyries
toward the end of March and the eggs,
which number two or three, are laid
in April. Eagles seem to prefer for
nesting site some ancient pine with
southern position and wide outlook or
a ledge on cliff, but this writer no
ticed that they sometimes build their
eyries on quite small rocks, where
they can be got at without much diff
Guilty, while all around are immense
precipices where mans foot has nev-
er trod. 1t has been said that the
eagles will fearlessly attack any ono
attempting to rob its eggs and young,
but this is probably much less often
the case than is generally supposed.
When one of pair of eagles is trap
ped or shot the remaining bird has
often great difficulty in finding a mate
and may haunt its nesting site for
several years by itself While soaring
round and round their eyrie the ee giles

Hedges and Wins Both Bets

Talking of lucky men" remarked
"Pidge" McGinnis, the Chicago ball
player, the other day. reminds me of
bet made by Arthur Irwin in 1899,
who was then with the Toronto team.
Some one had primed him with dope
on the strength of the Yale football
team and he wagered $iOO that Har-
ward would not score. When he con-
iided this fact to some of his friends
who knew the real strength of the
crimson eleven, they speedily con-
WINGED him of the foolish character of
the bet and he soon proceeded to
hedge by betting similar amount
that Yale would not score. The
game ended 0 to 0, and Irwin Won
both bets"

"WOMAN AND THE WITS"

Nature makes fools; women make

Two women placed together make
cold weather.
These women are shrewd tenlters
with their tongues.
Women know at first sight the char.

relgio,ts height to which men do not
attain.
To a woman OF spirit the most In

does not.

PAYING THE PRICE.

The way to get the good things Of
fife and the world Is to pay for them.
The way to get something is to pay
its price.
The price for expertness in business
is often drudgery.
The price for popularity is ofter
painstaking handling of people.
The price for delightful home is
often attention to details whose de-
lights at first seem veled.
The price for personal charm Is
often utter oblivion of self.
The price for all things is sacrifice

Then you cannot be a flower. You
