We had been camped for a few day? at a point on tbe upper reaches of the Pic river, waiting for a few of the party who were running a side line. A source of amusement was watching the descent of a large baldheaded eagle In the eddy back of the point He would strike the water with great force, coming down from an immense height At times he would dive under the surface to reappear a moment or two later generally with a fish clutched in his claws, when he would fly (freighted with his fish) to m vpt-v hieh mountain, on the over hanging crest of which the nest with his mate and young were quite visible to us with our field glass. I had noticed his success and Journeys to the nest for two mornings. On the third morning a shadow coming across the sun's rays caused me to look up and there was the great bird at his usual hunt to supply the young eagles with breakfast With his keen eye piercing the river depths he poised over a particular spot for a few moments and then shot down with the velocity of a cannon ball. The waters parted and the eagle was lost to view. I watched and waited to see him emerge with his prey, but momenta lengthened into minutes, and minutes into a quarter of an hour, but the surface of the water remained undisturbed. What could it mean? Even if he had struck himself against some hidden rock and been killed the body would have floated to the surface. It passed my reasoning powers to solve the result of that plunge. Then far down, fully a quarter of a mile off, I saw the great bird struggling, either to carry off a heavy burden or to free himself from one. . The waters were lashed into foam and the bird again disappeared, and all was still. This lashing of the water and disappearing were repeated again and again, each time farther downstream. bend in the river prevented my seeing the final result Calling one of our men from the tent we embarked in a caiioe and started down the river to view the strange proceeding closer. When we had doubled the point below I saw lodged against the beach in a small bay something that did not look natural to the place. We paddled down and found it was my eagle fast fixed to a sturgeon fully six feet long. Both were motionless. The king of fish and the king of birds had met death.?Forest and Stream. A Cold In the Head. A hydropathic treatment of a coW, In the head is more reliable than any other. It is as follows; In the morning after rising and at night before retiring wash the feet and legs aa high up as the knees in cold water, then rub them with a rough towel and massage them till the skin is red and glowing. In addition to this cautiously snuff tepid water up the nose frequently during the day and sip with a teaspoon a glassful as hot as can be borne an hour before each meal and at bedtime. A few days is often quite sufficient for simple cases and obstinate ones yield if the treatment is prolonged. No medicines are required. If taken in the first stages of the disease a cold is broken up which might otherwise become a severe case of bronchitis, lasting many days or weeks.?Chicago News. A Substitute For Latin. In an English school recently a certain boy was regularly absent during the hour in which Latin was taught The teacher called upon the boy's father, at whose instructions it had been learned he remained away, and asked for an explanation. The father said: "It is all right During the Latin hour I am teaching Jimmy something that he will find far more useful than Latin in his progress through life." The teacher was interested and asked what this subject might be. The father replied, "I am teaching my son how to shave without a looking glass." Neglected Her For Papa. Beautiful Ernestine was sobbing as though her heart -would break. "What is it, dear?" asked her girl friend. "W-why," she sobbed, "I t-told Jack, after he had proposed, to go up and see papa."
