terms of old friendship on his first
day out.
Poles migrated in large numbers TO
this region in the fifteenth century,
and of its some 400 900 population,
many are the descendants of these
early immigrants. These people speak
a Polish language which bears about
the same relationship to good Polish
as Pennsylvania Dutch" bears to pure
German. The Polish peasants live
scattered through the marsh and lake
lands; the German settlers are found
mostly in the larger cities. Among
these cities are Angerburg, Johannis-
burg, Lensburg, Loetzen, Lyck, Ortels-
burg and N%eidenburg.
Many of the lakes are bound togeth-
er by canals, and, thus form f~ar-reach-
ing navigable avenues. Lake Spird-
ing is the largest inland water sheet
in the Prussian kingdom. 1t is about
forty-siX square miles In extent and
the depth varies to eighty feet. 7

Eaule Taken bx Fishermen.

While herring fishing about fifteen
miles from Filey, Yorkshire, England,
a few days ago, the crew of one of the
boats observed a large bird approach
ing, which, after lowering a short
time, alighted upon the masthead. One
of the lads on board, Immediately COM
menced climbing the mast, thinking to
secure a prize, but IN the lad approach
ing it took wing. He had not descend
ed far, however, before the bird re-
turned to its previous position, appar-
emily much exhausted. The lad again
sprang up the mast, and on reaching
the top attempted to grasp the bird,
but his majesty was not to be taken
without a struggle, for he stuck his
talons deep into the boys hand, MAX
ing the blood flow most freely. The
boy, clinging tightly to the mast with
his legs, threw out the other hand,
seized the bird by the throat, and sue
ceeded, after a little Tapping of the
wing and attempting to bite, in strang-
ling him. He then tied him round his
neck, and came down, a bloody vic
tor, to the deck. The bird was an
eagle of a darkish brown color,
speckled with white, of beautiful
plumage, but excessively lean, about
two feet long, measuring from tip to
tip of wing a little more than FIVE
feet.

The genial professor stood on the

opened and the business man from
Boston hurried down the steps for
his usual morning walk.
"Ah, good morning." beamed the
professor. GLORIOUS morning for a
walk, isn't it?"
ooh, yes, certainly-very nice, yes,

are chiefly sold to the Poles, Russians
and people of the East. There is a
superstition among the folk of Russia
and Poland that amber beads worn
by an infant make teething easier,
and that amber beads worn by the
baby's nurse draw all contagious dis
eases to them and away from their
charges, thus guarding the baby's
health. So it is that n hardly ever
sees a Polish or West Russian nurse
without heavy chains of these orna
ments.
To its uncanny or at least mysteri-
Gus virtues, the value of amber has
been largely owing. According to an
cient lore, it was the substance of the
tears of the sisters of the incompe-
tent sun-charioteer, Phaethon, who,
after their brothers death, were
changed to poplars. The old Greeks
and Romans set an immense value
upon it, and in the days when Scythia
and the Alps marked the ends OF the
earth, Greece and Etruria traded with
Samland's amber fishermen.

FOES LIVE IN SAME TRENCH
When Fighting Wanes South OF
Ypres Germans Move in With
Allies.

Boulogne.-A British soldier re
lates a remarkable story of how the
English and Germans ~hobnobbed in
the same trench a few miles south Of
Ypres. There were a handful of Ger
mans and a smaller handful of allied
forces. Trenches were but a few
yards apart, and in these for more
than a week the men of both sides
had been bored and inactive. They
amused themselves as best they
could, exchanging messages, swap
ping newspapers and tobacco, hurting
back and forth greetings and epithets.
More days passed and still neither
side received orders either to attack
or to withdraw. Some sort of coop
Grafton seemed necessary. Accord
ingly the Germans hoisted a white
flag and, advancing under this, en-
tered the allied trench for a confer
ence. The result was that an agree
ment was reached that it would be
more comfortable for all to live in one
trench until one side or the other re-
ceived orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for a number of days all
went we'll. Many Of the Germans
spoke English or French. Under the
strange circumstances friendships
sprung up. Both factions dreaded the
arrival of a messenger. One day a
messenger came, and plans for the re
newal of hostilities were hastily made.
But the messenger proved to be only
a bearer of mail and newspapers for
the Germans. All gathered around
while a German began to translate
the latest dispatch from Berlin.
Unhappily for the harmony of the
gathering, it referred to Ostend by its
German nickname, "Kales," spoke o
bomb-droppings on various French
towns and of contemplated air raids
on Great Britain. The English
frowned, growled; the French grew
excited. Both sides had by agreement
laid aside their rifles; but both sides
still had their fists. Both used them
A fr~ee-for-all fight followed, and thu
unique compact came to an end.
