It Is a big bird, many pounds In weight, anil exceedingly swift In flight, as well as tierce when attacked. Indeed, to see the natives on horse hack carrying golden eagles on their arms Is a strange sight, for the birds re iiHiinlly tame, when one considers how they act when free. 'The eagle fancier lias a problem In taming, much less training, a gold en eagle. The eagle hunter finds where an eagle frequently rests dur ing the day. He climbs to this place and ties a live fox there, trailing the rope Into some beaped-up stone to form a cavern In which he hides, firm ly graxplng the rope. When the attention of the soaring eagle Is attracted by the fox, the eagle drops d wn and kills It. So Intent Is the greedy bird on tearing his prey that be doesn't notice the dead fox Is slowly being drawn along the rocks. When It Is within easy reach the hunter casts a net over the eagle and secures him. Kept absolutely In darkness, and with druma beating night and day so It cannot sleep, the spirit of the eagle I broken. When he shows signs of submission the trainer feeds him a little at a time and gradually wins his resMct, If not his affection. With the pasxnge of months the eagle at taches Itself to the man who feeds and trains him. -Detroit News. Certain Speciss Equipped With a Pe culiar 8uttion Apparatus That Mikes Feat Really Easy.

These Hah can climb, by menus of suction ap paratus, not only up the steeply ln cllued bed of mountain torrent, but ven up a smooth, vertical surface. Mr. Johnson saw some of them climb a vertical distance of 18 feet In half an hour, up it wall of rock over which trickled a thin film of water. lu connection with recent publica tion of this article, . K. Noble elatea that other species of fish are known to climb lu the same manner. Several of these occur in the Himalaya. Nema chllus ruplcola, and perhaps other spe cies of mouiituln cyprlnlds, adhere to the rocks by means of their smooth ventral. akin and enlarged lips. The llurld genera Pseudechenels and Olyptostenuim cling by means of well-developed abdominal aucker. The mountain torrenta of the Hima laya form the nursery for many spe cies of frogs. Their tadpoles, Uke the flub, have become adapted to their location; some cling by means of their lips and ventrul musculature, while there poorness a well-developed ven tral sucker. Scientific American. Ordered Msypols Cut Down. John Kndlcott was the Puritan who caused a Maypole at Snlem, Mass., to be cut down.

I liked Ihe Kngllsh habit of naming their houses; It shows the Importance they attach to their homes. All about the suburbs of London and In the out lying villages I noticed nearly every house and cottage had some appropri ate designation, as Terrace house, Oak tree house, Ivy cottage, or some villa, etc., usually cut Into the stone gate post, and this name Is put on the ad dress of the letters. How much bet ter to be known by your name than by your number! I believe the same custom prevails In the country. . . It Is a good feature. A house or a farm with an appropriate name, which everybody recognizes, must have an added value and" Importance. -John Burroughs IGNORED WEALTH UNDER FOOT Spanish Treasurt Seekaro Mocked by Fat When Thsy Overlooked Vast Mountain of Iron. Near Mercado mountain, Mexico, a legend goes, Spanish soldiers slew an Aztec chief, who said that the bill was the upthrust finger of the Spir it of Fury, and that It would some day avenge the folly of Spain. The Incident was In time related at court, and the fine men and women there laughed over It. Like the gold seeker who over looked the fortune that were un der their feet ln( the wonderful soil of the English portions of the Uni ted States, the Spanish sliver sleuth looked with unseeing eyes upon a naked, blood-colored bill worth more than all they were to take out of i Meilco- and Peru in a century. Mer cado used It to hang his name on, and rode away after the metal he bad come to regard as the ouly form of real wealth. Just what effect the discovery of this greatest body of iroa ore above ground In the world would have had, bad the explorer grasped Its real value. Is hard to say. But there I hardly a more mocking Incident in history than that of the Spanish sol diers, when Spain was surfeited with silver and destitute of Iron, circling around one of the' most perfect Iron supplies on the face of the earth, and cursing their luck because tey had found nothing of value beyond the mountains.

Who would suspect that in the tropica, In sun-drenched Burma Itself, there are acres of gardens given over to nothing else hut the cultivation of roses ! All through the hot" weather, In Lower Burma, they flourish; not till the rains break are they beaten to earth and almost washed away. The Burmese are very fond of flowers; no Burmese house Is without them; they are lavished on the pagodas, and women decorate their hair with them. Thackeray and Dlckn. It has often been observed that per tons who care greatly for the writ tags of Dickens seldom care greatly for the writings of Thackeray, while those who care greatly, for the writ ings of Thackeray seldom care greatly tor the writings of Dickens. The rea on Is plain. Dickens deal with the masses, Thackeray with the classes; In the one we find democracy, In the other aristocracy. Th Licensed Falehood.

Shovelers should work In pnirs, not alone. Two men together will shovel twice as much as two alone. Now, spit on your hands and go to It I Cincinnati Enquirer.
