A Iona Lived EauIe.

| 1t has been a tradition from time
fmmemorial that the eagle renews its
| strength when very old. 1t mounts
| aloft until it comes very near the sun.
when, scorched by the heat, it throws
itself into the sea, whence it energies
full of renewed vigOr.
Such have supposed that the passage
in Psalms CHI, 3, Thy youth is re-
newed like the eagles" alludes to this
old fable. But the more probable fact
is that it refers to the strength and
vigor which characterize the eagle even
in old age.
A couple of years ago a large speci-
men of eagle was shot on the ford by
the city of Nakskov. Denmark. Around
its neck was fastened a small chain to
which was attached a sealed bottle
On opening the bottle a note was found
written in Danish, which translated
reads as follows: Caught and again
made free by N. and G. Anderson in
the year 1892"

Stamp Collecting.

In 1S47 the island of Mauritius issued
two varieties of stamps-one in red at
penny the other blue at twopence.
Of these only some twenty or so are
known to be in existence, and within
recent years two pairs of red and blue
sold respectively for $3.50 and f1,921.
Stamp collecting is necessarily a mod
ern hobby, and it would be difficult
now to trace it to its source. Some say
that the hobby was of English origin
and spread to the continent; others de-
clare that it came to us from Belgium.
The first note on the subject in Notes
and Queries appeared in June, 1860,
when Mr.. Cresswell a Tunbridge
schoolmaster, communicating-as some
thing new-the fact that boy in his
form had collected between 300 and
400 different specimens. In 1864 a pro-
vincial paper referred laughingly to
collector who advertised his collection
for sale at 1000, adding. I'VE only wish
he may get it."-London Standard.

NO ROMANCE IN BUSINESS?
Treasurer Of Big Powder Company
Is a Living Denial of the
Statement.

A few years ago the man who was
the dominant interest in a certain big
powder company happened to be in
Dayton, o., on business, writes Edwin
Lefevre in the Saturday Evening Post.
He got on trolley car there and gave
the conductor a five-dollar bill. The
conductor didn't happen to have the
change, as he had just taken in an
other large bill from a passenger, so
he told his fare please to wait until he
could make change. The powder man
arrived at his corner and got off, for
getting the change that was coming to
him.
Several months afterward he again
found himself in Dayton on business,
and again took a trolley to reach his
destination. Before the powder man
could find the nickel the conductor
said with pleasant smile, You're not
going to give me another five-dollar
bill and forget your change, are you?
It's been waiting for you"
The powder man entered into con-
versation with the conductor, became
interested in the young man and Of

der company. The conductor accept

several children. Also he was a

Two or three months ago the COM
pany had s23,000,000 in cash and
looked for investments. The directors
appointed committee to invest the
money. The treasurer was intrusted
by the committee with the job and
bought large blocks of stocks in COM
panies that have been turning out war
material. These large investment pur-
ckases have so reduced the floating
supply of many of these stocks that it
is easy to understand why relatively

Peculiarly of French FLAG.

II is not generally known that the
three strips of color that make up the
French national flag are not equal in
width. When the tri-color was first
authorized, 1892, the positions and
proportions of the three colors were
not stated, and such variety of flags
was seen that two years later the ma
tional assembly declared that the ma
tional standard should be formed of
the three national colors in equal
bands placed vertically. the hoist be-

The Optimist.

Gilman Hall, magazine writer Of
New York, said of the war:
1T doesn't pay to be optimistic in
considering this horrid war. Yes, it's
a pretty rotten world that will stand
for a war like this.
"Optimists, anyway, come to bad
end. A preacher in a poorhouse said
as he buried an optimist the other
day:
All, what an optimist the world
loses in deceased! Once he failed in
business, but thanked heaven he had
his health. Another time he failed
in health, but thanked heaven he had
