PLOTTED BY AN EAGLE

with the naturalist and his captive
dangling in midair some Is feet below
the first foothold on the cliff
For a time Professor Kingcome
thought his aids had deserted him, as
they made no reply to his shouted or
ders. Finally he made them pay at
tention, and, under his instructions a
blight of the line was lowered over the
face Of the cliff This he made fast
to the eagle, and leaving the bird
swinging there, the professor climbed
hand over hand to the top Of the rock
After that it was simple matter to
haul up his prize.
Throughout the trip the big bird
was at liberty daily at the end OF
20-fathom line, and led the ship for
hours at a time. The line, made fast
to shack1e on the eagles leg, work
ing In swivel to prevent jamming,
did not seem to worry the captive.

New Jersey Fowl. Marked In Its Egg
hood Days, ls Matched Out
Real Nature Freak.

New York-Moritz Adler has a
country home and farm near Deal,
N. ]. He also has a Plymouth Rock
chicken. He gave her a place In the
back yard OF the home, with a dry
goods box for coop.
Though perfectly normal In every
other way, Rose-that's her name
has the shrewd face Of monkey. She
drinks soup from a spoon held In the
hand OF her nurse. Having no beak,
she does not peck at meat scraps,
after the manner Of fowl. but picks
them up daintily with her strawberry
hued lips
The facial expression Of Rose is
piquant. She has a rather set ex-
preston at the corner of her mouth,
indicating hrmness of character. Her
nose is well defined Rising from her
rather broad forehead is a pompadour
of feathers in the style that young
girls affected with their hair a year
ago, when Rose was smooth white

The general contour Of her face is
somewhat like that Of Susie, the fun

Adler. Z knew her mother well. She
was a fine old fussy Plymouth Rock
hen, who stuck steadily to the bust
ness of scratching gravel and produc-
ing eggs. She wasn't quite as pro-
gressive as some Of the more fashy
Brown Leghorn and Indiana game
young ladies Of the barnyard. She
didn't take kindly to new-fangled
ideas like Women's rights. Nothing
made her SO mad as to see some other
hen strutting around and clucking
about wanting vote.
An Italian organ grinder passed
the farm one day with funny little
South American monkey. He gave old
Mrs. Plymouth Rock quite a fright.
The old lady disappeared, and three
weeks afterWard found her nest un-
der the haymow. Twelve little yellow
chicks had just Matched out. The re-
naming egg was cracked, and some
thing inside was peeping sadly All

way out with their bills, but this one

The favorite pastimes among the
Chinese are those which are suitable
for playing at the table. The Dumb
instruments" Is one of the noisiest
and jolliest games. In a company OF
any number each takes the name Of
some different instrument, which he is
supposed to initiate both In sound and
gesture. The leader will take the
name of the drum, which Is the most
important instrument; the first man
on his right will have the horn, the
second the cymbals, and SO on.

be sitting on the other side OF the
table. Thereupon Mr.. Ling begins
beating the drum, and each of the
other players must Immediately
change his instrument so that the or
der from the drum shall remain the
same.
For instance, he who sits upon the
right Of Mr.. Ling, who now has the
drum, must take the horn. the second

around the circle, each instrument be-
ing the same number Of spaces from
the drum as 1t is was before the
change. This continual changing of
the drum from one person to another,
and the subsequent endeaYors to re-

And I thought as I sat meath the big

How dreadfully tired the old hen must

Just then mother called loud from out

Then thought with start, as turned
me about,
How tired my mother must be calling
out,

I jumped up so quickly, and ran with all

To find from my mother what might be

And down. in my heart I said as ran,
