Female Fishhawk Guarded Her Mate.

Complaints are made of the shooting
and attempted shooting of fishhawks
in the town of Bristol, and people
near whose homes the hawks nest are
very much incensed because of the
killing of one fishhawk recently. on
the land of DIR. II. NJ. Howe at Ferry
Hill. and the wounding of another OF
the birds on the shore. near the resi-
dence of Edward Anthony.
Mr.. Anthony noticed the wounded
bird near his home the last of the
week with wound in its throat
and the breast feathers covered with
blood. 1t was alone for couple of
days, its mate not having arrived. AS
soon rs the female bird came from the
South. it caught fish and fed the
wounded bird until the wound i'm
proved.
The bird shot at and wounded. which
is nearly over its hurt. Mr.. Anthony
claims is the same hawk wounded in
the wing by rifle ball thirty years
ago. He recognizes the stiffness in
the wing that was wounded, year after

"The reason lies in certain perfect
limpness or relaxation of the muscles,
that accompanies the fall of somnam-
bulists and drunkards. They fall un-
consciously, without fear. They make
no convulsive effort and strain to save
themselves.
''To fall in this limp, relaxed way is

What shane is the MoonY

According to the teachings OF ad.
vanced modern astronomy, 1t is mis-
take TO suppose that the shape of the
moon is similar to that of the earth.
1t Is believed nowadays that the moon
is a perfect ellipse, its figure being
nearly exactly one-third longer than
it is broad. This elliptlcal theory of
our satellites shape is founded on the
well-known fact that certain side
lend, rather of the moon is always
presented to our view. This is caused
by the moon revolving once on her
axis in exactly the same period of
time that she revolves around the
earth. Her elongated shape was prob.
ably caused by the attraction of the
earth when both planets were young
and soft

Potato of Much Notoriety,

No potato has ever gained so much
notoriety as Eldorado, raised by the
famous Scottish raiser, Mr.. A. Find
the variety was stroke of genius, for
1t is hardly possible that the raiser. or
those who had the good fortune to Sc.
cure some of the first tubers distrib-
uted. could have imagined that in so
short time it would change hands
at such enormously high prices.
Mr.. George Massey, of Spalding, was
one of the very first to obtain stock,
and Eom him Mr.. Zachariah Gray,
well-known grower at Everton, Sandy,
purchased a stone weight for S100.
This set the ball rolling, and as Mr..
Findlay resolved not to further dis
tribute Eldorado until the autumn of
available was doubled and trebled, and
so the prices rose. Messrs. Dennis, the
Covent Garden statesmen, and Messrs.
l. Poad Il Sons, of New York, pos
sessed some supplies, and the latter
firm found purchaser OF four pounds
at f150 per pound. This determined
them to obtain further stock, and so
at the SmIthfeld Club show a member
of his firm found that Mr.. Massey
had a limited stock for disposal aud
made him an offer of $1,000 for a
stone. Mr.. Massey refused, as he
wanted 1880, but eventually the
| bargain was struck at f1400. to
the satisfaction of both parties.
Subsequently, Mr.. Massey sold rela-
lively small quantity for $4,000. so that

"They take tremendous precautions

iniscence of an article he had been
reading on the subject. Every scrap
of refuse is burned in order that not

wasted. The working clothes of the
men are burned, too, when they are
worn out, and they even burn the
carts which are used in carrying the
bullion to the mint.

As a profession mining offers more

no ambition beyond the making Of
enough money to keep body and soul
together.
He was known to be hard working.
but he had no more thrift or foresight
than the other poems, and In conse-
quence his taking up of small piece
of property three years ago with the
intention of sinking shaft was a
standing joke in the neighborhood. He
borrowed enough money to work his
property In n small way. but being
what he was. his credit did not hold
for very long, and 1t was on the last
day before the mortgage would have
been foreclosed that he made strike
that gave him a position that is
unique.
The vein of gold and silver ore that
he found turned him in day from a
peon to a millionaire many times over.
and the results have been spectacular
and interesting, The wealth of his
mine, with its present development, Is

three carloads IVES made some time
ago that brought him n profit Of $780,

the native silver could be cut from II
with a pocket knife.
After the discovery there was natu
rally n change in Alvardo's methods
of living, and hc started the building
of an enormous and gorgeuos house
which, true to his blood. he placed IN
the centre of the poorest part of this
town, where it is surrounded by the

he has no less than five pianos, al

wife has the slightest ideQ Of what tC

Out of sympathy he was given light

1t appears that he appropriated from
the hospital Office n receipt book in
which were printed cards or chances on
a plot OF ground in Seattle which will
be raffled off for the benefit Of the st.

chance. He took this book and sold
several chances to parties in the city
representing that he was authorized to
do so.
This morning the sisters refused to
