win an Eagle Flight for Her Young

first query put by the casual listener.
always see a trace Of disappointment
sweep over his countenance when he hears
the answer. The moment you speak Of
climbing to an eagles aery, the average
man gets an idea Of a narrowing tale Of
the photographer hanging to the edge OF
a cliff or. the top of tree. with the old
eagles clawing out chunks at every
swoop. Few eagles possess the mad
tional story-tellers. When we first scram-
bled over boulders of the canon up toward
the nest, saw the old eagle slip quietly
from her eggs and skim out over the
mountain top. When l strapped on the
climbers to ascend the tree, had one
eye open for trouble. But each time we
visited the spot the parents silently disap-
peared and stayed away as long as we
cared to hold possession. They kept a
watchful eye, however, from the blue
distance overhead. For a noble bird like
the eagle, this abandoning of the nest
and young seemed to me cowardly at
first Perhaps the long years Of persecu-
ton have taught him something. The
first rule Of self-preservation Of this
pair seemed to keep half a mile distant
from the animal that fights with neither
beak nor claw"

Of the results, although only very small

or stages, OF construction. II starts at
the line between the town Of Barre and

house of F. ]. Robbins. The construc-
ton was done early last fall, under the
supervision of E. E. Pray, town road
commissioner of East Montpelier, and less
than a month was needed to complete
the work. In the first place the old road
was widened by several feet so as to
allow sufficient room for the foundation

A German Egg Test.

A new and simple method for testing
eggs is published in the German papers.
II is based upon the fact that the air
chamber in the nat end Of the egg in
creases with age. If the esq Is placed
in solution OF common salt 1t win show
an increasing inclination to float with
the long axis vertical. By watching
this tendency the age Of the egg can be
determined almost TO a day. A fresh egg
lies in horizontal position at the bottom
OF the vessel, an egg from three to five
days old shows an elevation at the Nat
end. so that its long axis forms an angle
of 20 degrees, and an egg a month old
floats vertically upon the pointed end

similar to the first. with the difference
that II was crushed into smaller parti-
Giles. Some white flint stone was also
used. The stone was crushed by hand
labor and deuth OF six inches was put
on, great care having been exercised in
filling in the chinks to prevent sagging
and depressions in the completed work.
This layer was also graded of and level
led.
And finally the top, or surface, layer
was put on. This consisted OF soft. lime
stone taken from the pasture beside the
road. Gravel would ordinarily be used,
but as the limestone was handy, that was
decided upon. This covering was laid on
to a depth OF six inches and was then
packed down solidly, the packing. in this

The Most Surprising Revelation Of the.
ManehurIan Campaign.
TAmerican Medicfna


The physical endurance Of the Japanese
soldier In the campaign Of Manchuria is
the one great revelation which has come
out Of the Orient There have been no
authentic reports upon which we can base
estimates as to his immunity from disease
OF the protection from infection, so that
It Is entirely too soon to form any opinion
as to the organization and work Of the
medical department OF the army. We do
not know definitely, indeed, whether Il Is
true that the japanese have escaped
disease in markedly greater proportion
than the Russians or than 'other soldiers
in similar campaigns and II they have
so escaped, whether 1t Is due to racial inn
munity or watchful care Of their officers.
OF this much we are certain the man
carrying the gun on his shoulder has ac-
complished feats Of physical endurance
which were not thought possible by physi-
ologists. The Russians could not esti-
mate where the japanese would be, and
were therefore constantly surprised by
tremendous forces at places 20 to 80 miles
beyond the point where good strategy
should have placed them. When Napoleon
began to defeat the well-tried generals
OF Europe they complained that he was
always far in advance of where he should
have been by the rules, but 1t was all due
to his better knowledge of how to get
work from his soldiers. In the Orient
there is a new art Of war depending upon
new style Of physique put to this work.
Repeatedly the Russians have reported
the japanese to be so exhausted that they
could not pursue, yet the pursuit kept up
with no change Of vigor.
The wonderful endurance of the Jap
anese native can only be realized by the
traveller in japan. He is short, stocHy
and blessed with muscles big enough for
much taller man, and he is consequent
ly able to do more work that European
Of equal weight. Their rural letter
carriers think nothing Of distances for
which we demand horses, and in excep-
tional cases, the rick-shaw man has been
known to trot 40 miles in a day dragging
his passenger. The daily drills OF the
soldiers include athletic exercises too
severe for the European soldier. such as
running up and down long flights of
stairs II Is not surprising, then, that
their troops should cover long distances
and the reports of four successive days
Of IS, %, 30 and Is miles Of marching are
perfectly credible. They are reported to
have marched As hours without food and
with little rest, and to have fought well,
though captured men have dropped asleep
instantly. Americans opened up this land
to western civilization. and in placing
modern weapons in the hands of so, 000. 900
OF such bodies, guided by such brains,

ANOTHER CURE BY
CUTICURA REMEDIES

Captain W. S. Graham, I37I Eoff
St., Wheeling, VIVA, writing June "a,
'o4, says: Z" am so grateful want to
thank God that friend recommended
Cuticura Soap aud Ointment to me. I
suffered for long time with sores on
my face and back. Some doctors said
1 had blood poison, and others that |
had BARRIERS itch. None of them did
me any good, but they all took my
money. My friends tell me my skin
now looks as clear as baby's, and

Ointment did it,"

To Use the expression OF one Of the resi-
dents IL WINS nothing but a quagmire."
Single carriages have been known to sink
TO the hub. Once a load got stuck in the
mud and eight horses had to be hitched
on to draw II out. II was never a sure
thing that man could get along even
with light wagon. Now even at the
moist periods single teams and loads can
go over 1t easily. To add to the discom-
fort of former times a small brook became
important every spring and used to flow
across the road and the results were
disastrous. The road would be quilted
and torn by the small torrent The little
brook, even in its widest moments, now
finds its proper channel through three
by three culvert, and the road is not
harmed. II will not be necessary to work
the strip this spring and some are san
guine enough to assert that IL wont have
to be worked for 20 years. All are well
pleased with the towns experiment with
permanent road building Of this sort, and
it Is not unlikely that this season will
see more work Of this nature done in the
neighboring town.
The cost of the work last fall was
practically covered by the state appro-
priation, although a small amount was
paid by the town direct. The 50 rods
Of Telford road cost S514. The three
culverts cost S135.
In making a preliminary report the late
]. o. Sanford commented on the work as
follows: The road has been impossible
in spring and fall and in wet times. The
section on which this work was done
was 50 rods in length. Single buggies
have been mired on this road A hard,
smooth road now bridges this stretch,
one that will be as permanent as any
road can be. In 1t are three stone cul-
verts> The total cost was S514. The
work was done by f. z. Pray one OF the
two road commissioners Of the town.

pleted there was a road as smooth as a
boulevard and more pleasant to ride upon.
The culverts were put in. and the stones
for these were from an unused stonewall
by the road side. one OF these was
three feet by three, and the others two
and a half by two and a half They had
a four foot wall and were tagged with
fiat stones and covered with stone six TO
eight inches thick. Great care was taken
to properly ditch the road, to allow good
drainage
With that done the road was thrown
open for public use. All last fall the road
gave excellent satisfaction and the
smoothness and the hardness OF II were
generally commented upon. Still there
were doubts. 1t was said by some that

STILL ANOTHER CURE
Neck Covered With Sores, Hair
Fell Out, Wild With itching

Mr.. H. ]. Spalding of Io4 W. Io4th
ST., New York City, says: " For two
years my neck was covered with sores,
the disease spreading to my hair,
which fell out, leaving an unsightly
bald spot, and the soreness, infiam-
nation, and merciless itching made
me wild. After few applications of
Cuticura the torment subsidized, the
sores disappeared, and my hair grew
thick and healthy as ever"

Of the new road. Then the road was
ready for the first layer of the permanent
work which consisted OF heavy stone
brought from a neighboring farm. And
right here it may be well to mention that
the whole of the material for the new
piece was secured from the roadside, so
to speak. None OF 1t had to be carted
a mile. Consequently there was a con-
siderable saving in expense. The heavy
stones, which were more or less fiat, were
laid edgewise, and there is the first diff
ference from ordinary road making. Gen
orally the foundation of the road is
dumped in and allowed to lie as 1t falls,
