Black Walnut.

Black walnut is produced in this
country at an annual rate of about 49,
100000 feet. The larger portion of 1t
now comes from southwestern Mis-
souri,, Arkansas. Oklahoma and Indian
territory, although there is some scat
tering growth still picked up in In
diana, Ohio. Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia. The most considerable stand
of the wood remaining east of the Mis-
sissippi river is on the upper waters
of the Guyandotte river in West Vir-
ginia, says a writer in The Southwest.
The home demand for black walnut
lumber is only for comparatively small
quantities. Its use is largely confined
to gun stocks, novelties, electrical
work, etc. The chief demand for wal
nut comes from Germany and Ham
burg is the commercial center of the
market.

BIRD OF FREtCoM A BIG HAWK.
How the Nest OF the Bald Eaole
Grows from Year to Year.

Eagles are popularity supposed to be
quite different from hawks. but in a
word, they are nothing more than
large hawks. They reach sometimes
the age of nearly a hundred wears
They live singly or in pairs and dwell
in the wilder places in all kinds OF
country, from tropical deserts to the
Arctic regions. In their search for
food, however, they often wander far.

proach the abodes of man. In story
books eagles have many times been &C
cused of carrying OF young children.
but such tales are unreliable.
The bald eagles. white-headed EAGLE
white headed sea eagle, or bird of
Washington. is of particular interest
to Americans as the national emblem
OF the United States. to which dignity
it was elevated on June 20, 1882. The
name bald" eagle originated from the
white head and the erroneous impress
sion of badness il gives at a distance
This bird measures about three or
three and a half feet in length. from
six to eight feet in extent of WINGS
anu WSASho llOLl SlA 10 IL pounds
Under most circumstances wary and
difficult of approach, this eagle never
theless is often surprisingly tame and
unsuspicious. Unprovoked it rarely
attacks man although such instances
have been reported. 1t prefers treej
for watching and roosting, but in
spring sometimes descends to ride the
cakes of ice in the river, apparently
looking for fish.
This species breeds throughout its
range, wherever suitable places exist
The nest is located nearly always
in the vicinity of a stream or BODY
of water. The favorite site is the ton
of tall tree
The same nest is occupied year
after year, and annually repaired or
augmented until 1t becomes an i'm
mense structure FIVE, six or even
eight feet high and as much in diam
eter, containing fully a carload or
two of material.
Ducks of various kinds fall regular
ly a prey to the bald eagle, and they
are stolen from unwary sportsmen
just as readily as larger birds. Wound
ed ducks, with those purloined from
hunters, form at some seasons a good
share of its food At favorable CD
portunities this eagle preys upon
fawns, and pressed by hunger will
sometimes attack a fullgrown deer.
particularly if the latter be wounded.
In most of the states of the union
and in many of the Canadian prov
inces the bald eagle is protected by
law, either specifically or by general
enactment, but in few it is still spe-
cially exempted from the provisions
Of the general non-game-protection
acts.

without saying a word the clubwo-

house. In a short time down came
the maid arrayed for departure.
What is the matter. Annie?" asked
the mistress of the house. why are

DIGNITY OF THE COURT.
An incident of History at MayviIIe
N. Y, Fifty Years Ago.

At the last term of court a Chautau-
qua County lawyer sent a post card
containing a picture of the Mayville
courthouse to a lawyer who had been
a student in this county nearly half a
century ago, and received the follow
ing in reply. The answer discloses
a standard of dignity on the part of
the bench so far below anything that
would be tolerated in these times that
we are almost forced to admit that
the world is improving:
Thank you for the picture OF the
Chautauqua courthouse. My first visit
to it was about forty-seven or forty
eight years ago. Judge George Bark
er, then practicing lawyer, went to
Mayville on Monday and on Wednes-
day / followed The first thing that
l saw upon the bench as | entered
the courtroom was a pair of muddy
boots near the end of the desk, and a
moment later a round face looking
Ike a full moon appeared near the
other end.
The whole outfit belonged to Judge
Martin Grover. He was really sitting
upon his backbone with his heels on
the bench. He had got off some joke
and laughing had sunk so low in his
chair that he had quite disappeared
and now was gradually rising. We
became good friends later on and
learned, too, the unwisdom of judging
by appearances, but as a boy l was
not much impressed by what 1 saw
then."-From the jamestown IN. "

DON'T JOKE IN ENGLAND.
Warning in the Fate of a Paragraph
About Famous big Ben."

The worst OF the sportive style in
news writing is that it sometimes
leads to misunderstanding. The Lon
don correspondent of a Manchester
paper sent the other day humorous
account of the renewing of the hands
of the great clock of parliament. 1t
ran thus:
"A well-known character, who has
lived in Westminster all his life and

ers as Ben underwent a serious OBJ

full to allow of him having a bed,

doctors in the open air and in the
presence of a large crowd.
Both of Ben's hands were taken
of-successfully and rapidly. A new
pair will be provided for him"
This seemed a curious but by no
means an amusing piece of intelli-
gence to the Manchester stan of the
paper. They put it in a prominent
position among the days painful oc-
currences, next to a paragraph headed
