Nests Of the Golden Eaule,

Every pair of eagles whose habits
l have had an opportunity of watch
Ing over a period of a few years
would seem to have invariably at
least two alternative sites for their
nests; some have three, and I know
of one with four sites. In fact, I only
know of one pair out OF many which
habitually resort to but one place and
only one.
The reason for this Is, however, ap-
parent, for owing to it's situation it
has never been disturbed. The nest
Is In a small cavern on the face OF
an absolute wall of limestone rock
some 500 feet high. at about 400
feet from the summit. Above the
cliff Is talus of loose stone at an
angle of As degrees or so, above which
again rise other precipices. To reach
the nearest point above this nest
would be a long days work.

The Cherokees Are the Most Advanced

The Cherokees, who tracked De
Soto's footsteps for many weary days
While he was marching through the
Southern forests and swamps and
who later welcomed Oglethorpe to
Georgia, are the most advanced In
dians in civilization and the most
eager for education, spending $500. 900
year on their schools and colleges.
The Chickasaws have five colleges,
with 400 students, maintained at a
yearly cost Of $4,000. They also have
thirteen district schools, costing si6.-

The Choctaws have $50 schools, in
some of which the higher branches
are taught

MOVING PICTURES IN ITALY.
The Residents In That Land Are Sur.
feited With Dancing Women.

Milan, the centre of Italy for the
moving picture machine trade, has al
ready about forty such theatres.
Every available hall is being turned
into moving picture show, while
nearly every second and third rate
theatre and cafe chantant' finishes
the evenings performance with few
cinematograph pictures. During the
dull summer season even the larger
theatres are used.
Dramatic and tragic scenes, natural
scenery of an Interesting nature, and
comical farces are sure to fill the hall
at any time in Italy. The Italian
loves to see living scenery; for in
stance, moving picture view of Nj
agara Falls was a huge success here
short time ago. The Italian also
likes to see typical scenes OF national
life, such as for instance, bull fights
in Spain and winter sports on the
snow and ice in Switzerland. Rail-
way scenery Is very acceptable, as are
Views Of large towns. Pictures OF the
larger towns of the United States
would be a huge success in Milan.
Occasionally typical scenes from Am
erican life have been thrown on the
sheeting, such rs cowboy life and
train wreckers. The Italian is dis
gusted, If not already surfeited, with
pictures of singing and dancing wom-
EN-, neither does he like fantastical
scenery from fairy tales.

500 Reward, 500,

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there Is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Humid

The rattles Of the rattlesnake, lie
edgewise. 1t Is evident that they

combinations OF the backbone. The

evidenced by the fact that in every
snake OF any size that is killed the
rattles are worn through on the un
