Since the bald eagle feeds
largely on fish of various kinds,
it of course destroys species
useful to man, and to this de-
gree must be considered injurious;
but the total amount of this harm
would seem to be comparatively small
for much of its finny prey consists of
species not economically important.
On the other hand the devouring of
vast quantities of dead fish, that If
left to decay would pollute the air,
is a positive benefit. Its destruction
of ducks, geese and other water fowl,
all of which are available as food for
man, is perhaps its most serious be-
cause most frequent fault; but this
is to a considerable extent local, and
confined largely to the winter and the
seasons of migration. 1t attacks gulls
and other non-game water birds so

would be little against the eagle on
this score. Upland game birds are

worth pursuit.

Bird Had Become a Victim OF Poke
berries-Queer Antics.

One night a little after dusk as we
were about to go into the house our
younger boy saw something dark NOV
ing behind the dog kennel says a
correspondent of Outing The older
boy reached in as far as he could and
with the help of his father, who stood
at the other end of the kennel, he
drew out fluttering female partridge,
that acted so queerly we could not
make out what was the matter, for
she did not seem to be hurt: there
we're no bloodstains on her feathers,
10 marks anywhere, but she could
neither walk nor fly, and. what was
pear frightened, and every one
think knows that nothing living is
shyer than a partridge. We marveled
at the sight as she sat quietly in the
oI Ter boys hand. breathing very fast,
bit showing absolutely no fear.
Suddenly our younger boy ex-

she's drunk; she's been eating poke

IN pokeberries, but had forgotten it,

sat on the table while we ate our sup

little dame! Her bill would partly
open and shut and If we put her up
on her feet she would sway and tot.

and how we regretted that we had

lake her picture! What a chance for
MIR. Job! Not another such chance
would anyone be likely TO have in a
lifetime.
AS | held her up against my face
and felt the soft. faint little puffs of
breath from her bill against my
cheek, she seemed the very spirit of
quintessence of all that is woodsy,
shy, remote and inaccessible, and yet
there she was. right in my hands,

TOO Critical.
Madrid-As the royal cortege was
passing the chamber of deputies a
nephew of General Primo-Rivera, the
former commander of the Spanish
troops in the Philippine islands, saw
agely assaulted Deputy Sogiano for
criticising acts of Spanish generals in
Cuba and the Philippines. Senior Sc
giano was knocked down and lost two
of his teeth
The assault followed united declara-
lions upon the part of Generals Ri
vera, Weyler, Dianco, Polavieja and
Lanares, denying the charges of ir-
regularity in Cuba and the Philippines.
General Rivera announced that he
would resign from the army unless
the government defended the generals
against the charges, and General
Weyler declared he intended to take
their defense into his own hands. Ri
vera's nephew thereupon determined
to publicly assault Deputy Sogiano,
who was chiefly responsible for the
criticisms.

ERUPTION OF VOLCANO

Three Villages Destroyed by Solid

Honolulu-The officers of the
steamer Sierra, which has arrived
here from Sydney, N. S. w., via Sa.
moa, report that the eruption of the
volcano on the island of Savaii, one
of the Samoan group, continues on A
large scale. Three villages have been
completely destroyed, including Mala.
cola, where was located the finest
cocoa plantation on the island. The
residences of A. King and c. Barleley
has been reduced to ruins and are a
total loss.
The lava from the mountain is flow
ing into the ocean in stream three
quarters of a mile WIDE and twenty
five feet deep, at the rate of twenty
feet an hour. At night solid wall of
molten lava five miles long may be
seen reaching far out into the sea.
For some distance ahead the sea
water is boiling, and the surf breaks
over the fiery stream.
The government recently chartered
the steamer Maori to remove women
and children from the zone of danger.

Civil and Religious MARRIAGES.

To-day marriage is a civil contract
In Catholic as well as Protestant
countries. The United States and
France, since the revolution, freely
recognize this fact. Marriage is
legally binding, If performed accord
ing to the laws of the land, without
any Intervention of the church. This
result was inevitable because of the
personal and property rights involved
which belonged properly to the juri.
diction of the state. The church.
both Catholic and Protestant, retains
however, its ancient privileges of
ceremonial over it's members, and
this accords with popular prejudice.

sacrament, and which sees the ad-
vantage of giving the ceremony the
greatest possible publicity and solemn
sanction.-Rochester Democrat and

dampness. First my feet began to hurs
and to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affecteo III
the same way. Finally l could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and hid to stop work altogether. my
appetite was feeble and grew very pale
and weak. began to have pains about
nv heart and it futtered great deal.
I became greatly alarmed about my con-
dition. NV mother knew about the vir-
tues of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as they
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu.
matism too, she began to give them to
me about month after was attacked.
That was in the early part of March,
1908, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then felt
strong enough to take up line of out
