Nests Of tho Golden E.oIe.

Every pair Of eagles whose habits I
have had an opportunity Of watching
over period Of few years would
seem to have invariably at least two
alternative sites for their nests. Some
nave three, and l 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 II
has never been disturbed. The nest
Is In q small cavern on the face Of an
absolute wall'o of limestone rock some
800 feet high, at about 400 feet from
the summit Above the cliff is talus
of loose stone at an angle of forty-fiv
degrees or so, above which again rise
other precipices. To reach the nearest
point above this nest would be long
days work.-London Saturday Review.

HOME OF THE DOLL.
Methods Of the Ingenious Thurinsian
lawmakers

Methods Of the ingenious Thurinsian
Toymakers.
Dolimaking did not become conspic-
uous as an industry in the Thuringian
mountains until the middle of the nine
teenth century, when a citizen of Son.
neberg brought from London a doll
which was regarded as great curiosi-
V. 1t had come originally from China,
and Its head, legs and arms were NOV
able. This furnished an inspiration to
the ingenious Thuringian toymakers,
who promptly improved upon it. Up
to that time they had made dolls only
of wood and leather, but soon they
evolved the wax head-at first a crude
article, the wax being applied with a
brush, but later, brought to high per
lection, thanks, it is said, to an acci-
dental discovery. A man engaged in
making the heads dropped a thimble
into his pot Of fluid wax and on taking
1t out found 1t covered with smooth
and beautiful coat of the. substance.
He was not slow to seize the idea, the
result being the adoption OF the dip.

being put on with camel's hair pen.

closing lids, to feign sleep, were added
and the fleece Of the Angora goat was
substituted for human hair In the max

today thus assuming til final and
highly artistic form. ''fi' -tss'1
Dressing the dolls after they are
made has become an industry in which
numbers Of women and girls are EN-
ployed. For the small, inexpensive
dolls little chemises, finished with q

LAND AND WATER BOATS.
Queer Vessels That Are Used In Wild
Timber Districts.

Queer Vessels That Are Used In Wild
Timber Districts.
Deep in the wilds of the Canadian
timber lands and in a number Of the
northern lumber districts of the United
States wonderful boats climb hills,
creep through swamps and woods,
traverse small streams from one lake
to another and even climb upon freight
cars If long transportation Is neces-
sarya
Practically steamboat and steam
winch combined, the engine can be
thrown in gear to drive the paddle
wheels or twin screws, according to
which Of the two the boat is equipped
with, or drive cable drum which
holds mile Of dve-eighths inch steel
cable used for warping and crossing
portages.
At the end Of water journey the
cable is carried to tree some distance
inland and at one side of the path des.
ignated for the boat to pass over. Pass
ed through pulley block, it is carried
back to the boat and run through q
pulley block at the bow. Then, re-
turned inland again, it is fastened to a
tree on the other side Of the path and
just opposite the first tree, thus max
ing it possible for the boat to travel
a straight course without lodging the
anchor trees. The engine is geared to
the cable drum, and the cumbersome
but powerful craft commences it's rock
strewn journey.
No roadway is required, logs and
skids being thrown few feet apart
across the pathway to keep the shooting
from grinding on the rocks. In this
manner ehe boat can travel from one
to two miles a day and take a grade
Of one foot in three when necessary

Opium From Lettuce.

A sort Of opium is obtained from the
common lettuce. The scientists give 1t
a long name, which no doubt means
something very learned and profound,
and declare that they find important
differences between the opium Of the
lettuce and the opium Of the poppy,
but for all practical purposes the one
u identical with the other. Many a
man who has eaten lettuce knows how
sleepy it causes him to become an hour
or SO after dinner. and the older the
lettuce the greater the sleepiness, for
u mature lettuce the milk Juice Is well
developed and all the properties Of the
opium are present ondon News.

A STORY OF THE SEA.

The Man Who ,Braved the Storm and
the Sailor He Rescued.
OF the coast Of ireland there was a
terrible storm, and a crowd gathered
on the shore to see q storm tossed yes

Anxiously the mother waited in tears

called. "Have yon got your man?"
