A DARING FEAT.
A LAD’S ADVENTURE WHILE
ROBBING AN EAGLE’S NEST.
Battling With Infuriated Birds on a
Lofty Drag.
Lee Hemingway, an orphan boy of
sixteen years of age of New Braun¬
fels/rex., had an adventure a few
days ago with two American eagles, in
which ho barely c coped with his life.
Professor Mclnery, the well-known
naturalist, who has been locited in
that neighborhood for the last few
weeks in the interest of his ornitholog¬
ical collection, offered Lee $50 for a
nest with living eaglets or eggs in it. j
Although rather early for these birds
to hatch their young, Lee was soon
able, by watching the movements of a
pair, to find where a nest had been
made. But as it was on the summit
of the Biglnjun,an almost nnsurmount
nblc bowlder rising nearly 125 feet
in the valley of tho Guadaloupe, there
was no way of securing it except by
scaling the sides of the rock, which,
however, has in the course of time be¬
come coated by several feet of earth,
and arc covered with a tangle of
vines, &c.
It was a daring feat, but young
Hemingway is a plucky lad of a stal¬
wart build, and who, dependent on
bis own exertions for a livelihood,
found the money offered a big consid¬
eration, and agreed to attempt the
feat on condition that the Professor
would keep watch with a gun for the
return of the parent birds. With a
basket furnished with a lid slung to
bis back in which to secure the eggs or
young eagles, bo managed, by climb¬
ing, scrambling and pulling himself I
up band over hand, to reach tlie top of
the Big Injun, where he found the
nest, as lie had expected, with young
birds a day or two old. Wearied out
with his exertions, lie rested for some
little time, then placing the nest with
its contents in his basket and strap¬
ping it to him, he began to descend.
He had scarcely accomplished fifty
feet of this when he heard the report of
the Professor’s gun, and saw the two
eagles returning. Unhurt, they paid
no attention to the shot, but after
alighting and finding the nest gone,
made at the boy with outstretched
wings and hoarse cries of fury.
Bucking his head to keep their power¬
ful beaks and claws out of his eyes,
Ivce attempted to beat them ott' with
one arm while he clung to the vines
with the other, but they s.ruck at him
repeatedly on the head with their
beaks, each time bringing tho blood,
which flowed into the boy’s eyes and
nearly blinded him, while they buffet
led him unmercifully with their great
wings.
Professor Mclnery waited until one
of the birds was far enough from Lee
for him to take aim without danger of
hitting him, then fired, and succeeded
in killing the eagle. She—for, as was
afterward ascertained, he had shot the
female—fell into a small tree, or what
was scarcely more than a large sapling,
which had sprouted from a good-sized
crevice in the rock, about eight feet
above where Lee hung, and seeing her
suspended just above him gave the boy
an idea to which he owes his life.
With t'e strength of despair he drew
himself up to the tree by the sense of
touch alone, for his eves were full of
blood. Once there he braced himself
with his feet, and, wiping his face,
bound Jus handkerchief about his brow
in order that it might absorb the blood.
He then caught the dead bird by the
feet, aud, with this weapon, he turned
on the living eagle, which had never
ceased to beat and strike him. Ai the
irxt sweep Leo struck It as hard as he
c mid dare, not to endanger his posi¬
tion, and continued to meet its attacks
in the same way until, rendered furi¬
ous and incautious by its enemy’s re¬
sistance, it flew directly in his face,
with claws distended and beak striking
right and left. The boy caught it
with botli hands about its throat, and
with all his strength held i*, in spile of
the furious beatings of its wings*
until, choked to death by his grip, the
great bird hung lifeless, when lie
dropped it at the Professor’s feet.
This gentleman had watched tho
desperate struggle, unable to help the
bov, except by rail lorn shots, hoping
thus to frighten (he bird away, which,
however, as has been said, he failed to
do. Young Hemingway hung in the
slender branches of the little tree for
nearly an hour, bailing exhausted na
hire now with the same courage he bad
displayed toward the eagles.
Speaking of li's adventure, he says:
“I felt as if 1 was going to faint, and
1 knew if I did I would be killed by
the fall, and I hadn’t fought those
plagued birds so liard to give up to
any such women doings as that, so 1
just kept fighting against that awfuj
sinking, and pretty soon I got over it,
so when I rested I climbed down.”
But just as he reached tire foot of
the rock the strength born of despera
tion gave way, and the brave boy fell
senseless into the Professor’s arms.
He was fearfully torn in the head and
face, but the former wounds are for
tuna'.ely only skin deep, aud, with the
exception of one long, deep gash in
the cheek, just below die eye, which is
healing slowly, his face is nearly well.
He is obliged, however, to keep his
bed yet, so bruised and sore is he from
the buffeting he received. Remarkable
as it may seem, the young birds in
Lee’s basket were living and uninjured
by the fearful journey they had made.
The Professor, in consideration of tho
danger he underwent, and for the two
birds not bargained for, lias presented
Lee with $100, and the boy is the hero
of the hour.—[Globe Democrat.
A Horse's Sense of Smell.
The horse will leave musty hay uir
touched in his bin, however hungry.
He will not drink of water objection¬
able to his questioning snifl', or from a
bucket which some odor makes of
fensive, however thirsty. His intelli¬
gent nostril will sviden, quiver and
query over the daintiest bit offered by
thc faircst o£ hands ’ wi,h coaxil, f
that would make a mortal shut his
eyes and swallow a nauseous moutli
ful at a gulp.
A marc is never satisfied by cither
sight or whinny that a colt is really
her oivn, until she has a certified nasal
certificate to the fact. A blind horse,
now living, will not allow the ap¬
proach of any stranger without allow¬
ing signs of anger not safely to be dis¬
regarded. '1 he distinction is evident¬
ly made by his sense of smell, and at
a considerable di-tanee. Blind horses,
as a rule, will gallop wildly about a
pasture without striking the surround¬
ing fence. The .sense of smell informs
them of its proximity. Others will,
when loosened from the stable, go di¬
rectly to the gate or bars opened to
their accustomed feeding grounds, and
when desiring to return, after hours
of careless wandering, will distinguish
one outlet and patiently await its open¬
ing. Tho odor of that particular part
of the fence is their pilot to it.
The horse in browsing, or while
gathering herbage with its lips, is
guided in its choice of proper food en¬
tirely by its nostrils. Blind horses do
not make mistakes in their diet, In
the temple of Olympus a bronze horse
was exhibited, at the sight, of which
six real horses experienced the most
violent emotions. Aelian judiciously
observes that the most perfect art could
not imitate nature sufficiently well to
produce so strong an illusion. Like
Pliny and Pausanius, he consequently
affirms that “in casting the statue a
magician had thrown Hippomanes up¬
on it,” which by the odor of the plant
deceived the horses, and therein we
have the secret of the miracle. The
scent alone of a buffalo robe will cause
many horses to evince lively terror,
and tho floating scent of a railroad
train will frighten some long after the
locomotive is out of sight and hearing.

Quinine Intoxication.
Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of New York
says that tliore are many eases on
record where a use of quinine has
caused a disarrangement of the mental
powers, and to such an extent that tho
sufferer did not know what he or she
was about. Instances are not few where
patients who were given large doses
of (lie drug became delirious. These
symptoms, however, passed away
when the use of quinine was discon¬
tinued. It is possible while under its
influence for one to act as irresponsi¬
bly as when in liquor. That quinine
affects die brain is evident from the
fnct that an overdose will cause severe
buzzing in the ears and often tempo¬
rary deafness.
Physicians cannot be too careful in
prescribing quinine, for what is one
man’s moat is another man’s poison.
I have known one grain to have moro
effect on some patients than fifteen
grains on ethers. Tho same can be
said of morphine. Two grains of this
drug will cause many intense itching
sensations, with parched tongue and
throat. On the other hand, 1 have
known patients, even those used to
morphine, to take much larger doses
without showing any evil effects.
There is a little doubt but there are
quinine habitues as well as slaves to
chloral, morphine and other narcotics
ami drugs, yet its use ns a stimulant
lias not become general.

MEXICAN SOLDIERS.
THEIR GREAT POWERS OR
ENDURANCE ON THE 51 ARCH.
Toiling Along the Hot Plateaus for
Hours at a Stretch.
In tho Mexican service as in our
own, the garrisons throughout tho
country are changed in due order
from post to post, so that the soldier’s
life is pretty evenly divided between
the hard places and the easy ones.
Even tho hard places, however, in
some respects arc not so hard as those
to which our own troops are accus¬
tomed; for Mexican garrisons are
maintained not in desolalo frontier
forts, but for the most part in fairly
good barracks in cities and towns.
When Indian campaigning is in order,
the field force is detached from the
nearest available point; and when tho
campaign is ended, (he troops come
back to civilization again. On the
other hand, the Mexican soldier is fed
mainly upon beans and Indian-corn;
his bed in barracks usually is his al¬
lotted place on the floor, where lie
sleeps roiled up in his blanket; and on
the march—since tiic army practically
is destitute of a baggage train—ho lias
to carry the whole of his kit in addi¬
tion to his arms.
The lack of a baggage train is felt
with especial severity when a regiment
is transferred to a new post, for the
soldier then has to choose between
what few belongings lie has gathered
about him, and carrying them with
him on his own back. Fortunately
for his comfort, in this situation—his
pay being small and his fondness for
gambling large—lie is not often heav¬
ily laden with personal property; but
his lading of arms, accoutrements, and
mess properties usually gives him
about as much of a load as lie can very
well dispose of.
Sometimes the regimental band plays
“La Golondrinn”—which is the near¬
est equivalent in Mexican popular
music to “Home Sweet Home!”—aa
the men file out from their quarters,
form in column, aud set off to the new
station to which they have been as¬
signed. But tliis touch of the musical
proprieties is less often added than
omitted. As a rule, the regiment just
walks away, tlie men in tolerably good
form while traversing the streets of
the city which they are leaving; and
then, being fairly highway, (
out on the
going along with ragged tiles and
pretty much as they please. Their
service uniforms—an admirably sens
ible dress, consisting of blouse and
trousers of brown linen, linen-covered
caps, and sandals—are not especially
soldier-like, according to our notions;
but to this light rig they imquestion
ably owe in part their extraordinary
capacity to withstand fatigue.
Marching on the Mexican plateau is
a severe strain upon both muscles and
nerves. Unless some especial purpose i
is to be served, garrisons are shifted
in the dry season, when the roads are
ankle-deep with dust, and when the
sun beats down, hot and strong, from
a relentlessly clear sky, and casts upon
everything a blinding glare. It is the
way of roads in Mexico, especially in
tho Northern states, to seem intermin*
able. One low ridge of rocky hills in
ascended, and from its crest another
like ridge is seen half a dozen miles
away across an arid valley, over which
the waves of heat, shimmer and undu¬
late, and in which the only vegetation
—if so cheerful a word maybe used to
describe such brown and yellow bleak¬
ness—is thorny cactus, tufts of Span
ish-bayonct, and a few distorted and
scraggly pita palms—a desolation so
complete that it seeins unnatural and
unreal.
All day long, saving only tho hot
halt at r.oon, the march continues
through this utter dreariness, op¬
pressed by the blighting sunlight, the
head of the column (where the office,
in command rides in plucky ereetness)
raising a cloud of dust that grows
thicker ana heavier with each succes
sive file, until (lie rear-guard literally
is lost in its dark density. The smaller
streams and many of the larger ones
are dried up, and a draught of fresh
water by-tiic-way is a joy impossible;
the water in 1 lie canteens grows hot in
the fiery rays of the sun, and never
anywhere is there so much as a hand’s
breadth of shade. And yet such is the
power of endurance tha: these wiry
Mexican soldiers possess, the men
rarelv become exhausted by the way;
amt at night, when a halt is made at
some little town, or at some hacienda
where water can be obtained, and
when the cold delicious wind sweeps
down refreshingly from the hi Is, they
are as lively, and go at their rations of
frijolcs and tortillas with as much zest
as though their eight or ten hours of
toiling through heat and dust had been
no more than a paseo—an agreeable
stroll.
It should be, and doubtless is, a
cause for thankfulness throughout the
Mexican army that ivith the building
cf the new railroads, by which all the
important cities in the republic, ex
cepting Oaxaca. Durango, and the
forts ou the west coast, have been con¬
nected, the arduous marebiug hereto¬
fore attendant upon garrison transfers

How Cablegrams Aro Transmitted.
With the first long submarine cables
great difficulties w< re encountered in
sending through them a current of
electricity of sufficient power to record
the messages rapidly. The methods
for overcoming these difficulties and
in use at present are described as fol¬
lows:
Keys, which, when depressed, trans
niit positive and nega’ive currents, are
employed at the sending station in
connection with the regulation battery,
The current of the battery does not
P as s directly into the cable, but into a
condenser, which passes it Into tho
submarine line. This greatly increas
es the force of tho current used and
serves to cut off interfering ground
currents. The instrument first ein
ployed in receiving cablegrams was a :
reflecting galvanometer. Upon the
magnet of this instrument is carried a
small curved mirror. A lamp is
placed before the mirror and behind a
screen in which there is a vertical slit.
Flashes of light moving across ibis
slit as the needles moved from left to
right, indicated to the trained eyes of
the operator the letters in the message
being transmitted. But this method of
recording messages was found to tax
the eyesight of the operator severely, a
few years work often rendering (hem
almost if not totally blind. Recogniz¬
ing the fact that there must be some
tiling wrong with such a system, in¬
ventors set about repairing the defect,
which resulted in perfecting the syphon
galvanometer, which has all but super¬
seded all other receiving devices.
In the syphon receiver the move¬
ments of the needle arc recorded by
means of ink spurted from a line tube.
This tube is attached to a coil suspend¬
ed between two fixed magnets, which
swings to the right or left as the pulsa¬
tions pass through it. The syphon
galvanometer is a great improvement;
is not hard on the eyes and enables tho
operator to receive much more rapidly
than with the old flash receiver.—[St.
Louis Republic.
