TOO GREEDY.

A colony of American eagles has
made its home along the shores of
Chautauqua Lake for many years. A
story is told of one of these birds
which is verified by Mr.. and Mrs. c.
Dykeman, who reside on Bayfield,
farm, who witnessed the incident, that
is truly remarkable.
The eagle was gracefully soaring
over the lake, when it suddenly dart
ed with lightning rapidity toward the
water, catching in its talons musk
allonge two feet or more in length and
weighing probably ten pounds. There
was clash and splashing of fins
and feathers, but slowly the bird rose
in the air with its captive dangling
and wriggling below. When at a
height of about 100 feet the bird, still
clinging to the. fish, began to sink
slowly toward the lake again. gaining
speed as it descended, and finally fell
with splash in the water. Later the
bird and fish were found together
dead.
The fish had evidently been too
heavy for the eagle to carry, but It's
claws were so firmly imbedded in the
flesh that it could. not release its
hold, and as its strength gave way it
sank into the water whence it had
sought its prey and was drowned

TRY THE HOBBY GAME.

Each guest, as he arrives, receives
slip of paper, folded so that what
is written on it can not be seen. On
each slip is the name of the guest,
with some hobby of his, or some joke
or other thing relating to him, or to
her, if the guest be woman or
girl.
They are all then led into a room
where blackboard has been set up.
and take seats in semi-circle facing
the board. The hostess stands near
the board, and beginning at one end
of the semi-circle, she calls each
guest in turn to the board, and directs
him or her to make a drawing of the
subject written on his or her slip Of
paper. The drawing may be ever SO
crude or ludicrous, provided it gives
some hint of the subject.
The players then try to guess what
the subject is, and those that succeed
have their tally cards punched or
marked.
The next player, in order, then goes
to the board, and the other players
guess as before; and so, until all the
players have made an Illustration OF
the subject written on their several
papers.
The tally cards are then examined,
and prize is awarded to the player
making the most correct guesses.-In.

How the eurro Eats Thistles

The Rocky Mountain burro, one Of
the most sagacious of animals, seeks
the thistle as favorite food, and the
pungent spines with which it pro-
tects its leaves at every angle are
doubtless a recognition on its part of
this fondness of grazing animals for
it. Few experiences of frontier life
are more amusing than to watch the
donkey's attack upon large bull
thistle. He walks about it, seeking
for a favorite opening, projects his
lips gingerly against its spines and
jerks back as he feels its pricks. He
surveys 1t pensively for moment or
two and then slowly raises his foot
and strikes it, pausing to watch the
effect OF the blow. He then perhaps
strikes at 1t from the other side and
watches again. The blows become
rapid, and at length 1t is broken down
and thoroughly trampled, after which
1t is consumed to the last yestige.-

TRUTH AND ACCURACY.
Western World Claims Most cred,,

Western World Claims Most Credit
for Verncity.
When Sir Walter Scott was asked
what was the proper education for a
young man he answered: To learn to
fish and to tell the truth. 1t is posi-
bic that the complete art of angling
may conduce to the grace of patience
and to the development of the reflective
faculties, but it is quite certain that
truth-telllng is one of the corner stones
of society and the basis of all real
character, according to the Philadel-
phia Ledger. An ancient Swiss writer
says of truth, without hyperbole:
The study of truth Is perpetually
Joined with the love Of virtue; for
there's no virtue which derives not Its
origin from truth rs. on the contrary.
there Is no vice which has not its be-
ginning from lie. Truth is the foun-
dation of all knowledge and the cement
of society,""
We of the western world are wont
to arrogate to ourselves the virtue of
truth-telling. English and European
writer's constantly speak OF highly de-
veloped talents in mendacity and de-
ception as Oriental" Some of orr
merchants and our missionaries who
have had intimate dealings with the
Chinese whose business men make alb
solutely no use of written bonds or en-
gagements of any sort to bind them to
the performance of their obligations.
but rely on the word given, which is
rs sacredly kept as any bond could be
may be inclined to smile when the An
glo-Saxon's merits as a truth-teller are
extolled; but in n general way there is
something to be said for the western
er's boast. Due need may be given,
but the fact remains that III the west
ern world, as contradlstlngulshed from
the east, more reverence Is habitually
paid to the truth than among back
ward peoples, because more depends on
the practice of truth with lis.
