TRAPPING EAGLES. The Chinese Get Them With a Baited Not and a Decoy Bird. Every year, according to an old cus tom, in the second quarter of the Sep tember or October moon, tbe Inhabit ants of the Chinese province of Shan tung go to Mongolia to hunt tbe eagles which abound in that region. The huntsmen march in troops along the roads, carrying on their shoulders long poles from which are suspended their baggage and provisions and on which are perched tame eagles to be used as decoys. The hunters make use of a large net, spread open on the ground and baited with small dried fishes, in tbe midst of which is placed a tame eagle. The decoy naturally begins to devour tbe bait and thus Invites its wild cousins to follow its example. When the birds have alighted and are feeding the bunter, from his hiding place two or three hundred yards distant, quickly closes the net by means of cords and thus captures the eagles. Eagle hunting is very lucrative. The feathers are used in the manufacture of fans and are sold at a high price even In China. There are three sorts Kicpei, black with white centers; Che ma, white spotted with black; Tout sing, half white and half black. Sev eral eagles contribute to the making of a fan, for only a small part of the plumage can be utilized; hence these fans are very costly. ANIMAL EVOLUTION. Changes In the Partridges of the Ca nary Islands. A remarkable example of the effects of environment and changed condi tions of life upon the forms of ani mals is furnished by a species or par tridge living in the Canary Islands. Over 400 years ago the Spaniards in troduced the red legged partridge from Europe Into these islands, and the bird has continued to flourish there; but, as recent examination proves, it has un dergone modifications clearly brought about by the conditions under which It lives. Its back has turned from russet color to gray. This looks like pro tective coloration, since the bird passes its life among gray volcanic rocks. Its beak has become one-fourth longer and thicker than that of its ancestors and of its European rela tives, and Its legs also have Increased in length and grown stouter. These changes are exactly such as were needed to suit it to the life that it Is now compelled to lead amid the rocks and on the mountain sides of the islands, where a more rigorous physical development is required than was needed in its former home. Har per's Weekly. Mighty Queer. The negro on occasions displays a fine discrimination in the choice of words, says the National Monthly. "Wlio's the best whltewasher In town?" Inquired the new resident "Ale Hall am a bo'nd a'tlst wltn a whitewash brush, sah," answered the colored patriarch eloquently. "Well, tell him to come ana white wash my chicken house tomorrow." Uncle Jacob shook his head dubi ously. "Ah don't "believe, sah, Ah'd engage Ale Hall to whitewash a chicken house, sah." "Why, didn't you say be was a good whltewasher?" "Yes, sah, a powe'ful good white- washer, sah, but mighty queer about a chicken I. mse, sah; mighty queer.' rue i 'rerun Canadian always has trouble with the aspirate "th." At a debating club in the province of Que bec members were required to draw a slip from a hat and debate upon the subject thoy received. A young coun tryman arose. "I have drew the word 'bat' I must told you tlcre is two, tree different kind of bat. Dere is de bat wot you play the baseball wit, de bat wot fly In de air nt night and also de bat where you take do swim." Success Maga Elne. Standing in Voting Contest at Fix & Radtke's.
