First Meeting With Shelley.

In the newly published volume, "B.
r. Hayden and His Friends" there is
an odd passage in which Hayden de-
scribes his first meeting with Shell
ley at the house of James Smith,
where Keats was of the company: 81
seated myself right opposite Shelley,
as | was told afterward, for I did not
know what hectic, spare, weakly, yet
Notwithstanding creature it was
carving bit of broccoli as If it had
been the substantial wing of chick
en-. In few minutes Shelley opened
the conversation by saying in the
most feminine and gentle voice: AS
for that detestable religion, the Chris
tian--.' | looked astounded, but,
casting a glance round the table, |
easily saw that was to be set at that
evening wi ct armis.' I felt like a
stag at bay"

EAGLE skILLFUL IN STRATEGY.
Cunning Devices Used by the Mon.
arch of the Air


Ornithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in
the habit of attacking large animals,
but contest witnessed by an observ-
er dispels such theory. The battle
was between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from a herd
one particular buck, which it succeed
ed in driving from the rest. 1t struck
the animal with its powerful wings,
knocked it down and finally killed it.
still more remarkable spectacle is
well authenticated. An eagle attack
ed fawn in the highlands of Scot
land. The cries of the little one were
answered by its dam, which sprang
upon the eagle and struck it repeated.
ly with its forefeet. Fawn, deer and
eagle rolled down declivity, the bird
was dislodged from its hold an the
fawn rescued.
Many traditions are extant as to
the carrying off of children by eagles.
The most recent case bearing close
scrutiny is one which happened in
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stock had been harried by eagles lay
in ambush for the robbers and saw
one of them descend and carry off the
5-year-old child of one of his Kaffir
servants. He shot the bird, which,
with the child still clutched in its
grip, fell into thorn BUSH The bird
was dead, but the child was little
hurt.
Two eagles will stalk a covert in
concert. While one conceals itself
the other beats about the bushes with
great screaming, driving out its quar-
ry for the hidden eagle to swoop
down upon. An even more insidious
method has been observed. An eagle
seeing sheep on the edge of a prec-
ipice flew at it, screaming shrilly and
with forceful beat Of wing hurled 1t
into the valley below, where it could
devour it as leisure. In the light of
such records there is good reason for
believing the legend of the eagle drop
ping a tortoise on the bald head of
Aeschylus, the Greek poet, and so
causing his death.
