HUDSON RIVER EACLES.
A Famous Breading Placaforth* King of
Birds.
Storm King mountain has btan bo
famed as a breeding place for eagles
that it is sometimes called “ Eagle's
Nest,” says a correspondent of the St.
Louis Republio.
The eagles of Storm King have, in a
great degree, lost their fear of man, if
they ever had any. During the shad
fishing season they will approach with
in a few feet of the fishermen when
they are hauling their nets, and are
invariably rewarded with a nice plump
fish. When the fishermen are clean
ing fish on shore they will often ap
proach the cleaning platform and help
themselves to the offal that comes
from the fish prepared for salting and
smoking. They have been known to
alight on the outriggers of a fisher
man’s skiff' and become interested
observers of the process of hauling n
drift net. A shad handed to the ob
servant bird on the end of a net polo
is always appreciated and taken, after
which the grateful bird, after a few
flutters of the wings, evidently its way
of giving thanks, soars away into the
fastnesses of the hills, to devour its
quarry in solitude or to satisfy the
hunger of its voracious pair of eaglets.
The shad fisherman are great friends
of the eagles, and would not harm
one.
The best time to see the eagles of
Storm King Mountain is in the early
morning. At the first break of day
they are astir, and can be seen on the
tongues of rock which jut out into tlv?
river at many points on the high
lands, splashing and playing in the
water. This can be seen every morn
ing, except when the ice covers the
river, and then the great birds seek
some air hole, where they perform
their ablutions. The water is never
too cold for them to wash in. It is a
strange trait of this bird that when at
liberty it is clean to a nicety, but
when kept in captivity in a cage or
rack it becomes careless and filthy.
The first rays of the morning sun
are greeted by the birds with screams
and demonstrations of joy. Gathering
their powerful pinions underneath
them, they mount thousands of feet
into the air, screaming with delight
.and heading straight into the rays of
the blazing suu.
There is one old eagle in the Storm
King flock which the fishermen have
named Harvey Birch, after the hero
•of J. Fenimore Cooper’s tale, “The
Spy.” It is claimed that this old
eagle, a male, has been known in the
highlands for nearly, if not quite, a
century. He is known from a pecu
liar droop in one of his wings and his
habit of dying sideways, and the fur
ther fact that he is hoary with age.
The bird is supposed to have been
shot by woodchoppers many years ago
and escaped. He was named Harvey
Birch because of his having been seen
on the particular mountain near Gar
risons, where Enoch Crosby, alias
Harvey Birch, the patriot spy of the
Revolution, had the cave where he
used to meet and confer with Wash
ington.

A VETERAN'S WIFE.
Afffeeted With Hurt Dlham and Given
Up to DtfwgßTed In a Won
derful Wy.
From tKs J>#jm, Utica, N. Y,
There Is no on© bettor known or respected
In the village ot Brookfield, Madison Cos.,
New York, than Mrs. John Fisk, the wifeol
an old resident and veteran of the war of
the Rebellion. In April of this yoar, Mrs.
Fisk lay at death’s door from neuralgia and
heart disease, the family physician having
recommended her to settle all her worldly
affairs, as she was liable to bo taken at any
minute, and inquiring friends expected at
each visit to hear that sho had passed away.
But Mrs. Fisk, to the surprise of her
neighbors and physicians, suddenly began
to mend, and now sho is as strong and
healthy a woman of her advanced ago (76
years) as can bo found, and really does not
appear nearly as old as she is. The follow
ing is her own story of how sho was cured.
“I consider it is a duty to myself and the
community to tell of my extraordinary re
covery from what was thought by my phy
sicians, my husband and friends to be a
fatal illness. I had long boen suffering
from neuralgia in its worst form, enduring
agonies that only those who have under
gone such torments know, until my heart
bocame so affected funtionally and or
ganically, that the doctor said I was liable
at any time to pass away. Ho had done all
in his power for me, and I thank him much
for his kindness and attention, and believe
him to boa good, faithful physician. I was
not disposed to die, however, if I could holp
it, and he having done all he could, I felt
at liberty te use any other moans that held
out a chance of life, and determined to try
a remedy that had boon recommended by a
friend who had been at death’s door from
rheumatism and heart disease, but who now
is in good health.
“Whatever doubt I may have had as to
this remedy’s efficacy in a dissimilar dis
ease, to that from which he had suffered,
was dispelled on reading in the Press of a
case identical with my own being cured,
with the name and address ot the person
who had been so benefited. So my husband
who now was anxious that I should at once
take the treatment, purchased for mo a box
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I took them
according to directions, and within a very
short time the pains began to disappear,
my heart’s actions became normal, and four
weeks ago I ceased taking them, as I am
entirely cured, and able to do my house
work as well as when I was a young woman.
“I had always, until I tried Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills, looked with suspicion on all ad
vertised proprietary medicines, but now my
ideas have undergone a wondrous change
in that direction, for under God’s all wise
Providence, ‘Pink Pills’ have renovated
me, and apparently given me anew lease
of life.
“This is no secret in this locality, and I
hope this certificate may bo the moans of
other sufferers in distant places securing
the same benefits that I have received.
“Clabinda Fisk.”
Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in
loose form by the dozen or hundred, and
the public are cautioned against numerous
imitations sold in this shape) at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2.50, and may be had
of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company.
Profits 800 to 500 Per Cent.
The sewing machine, one of the
greatest blessings in the way of ma
chines ever offered the public, sold for
years at sixty dollars in the United
States. The same machine, however,
to be shipped to a foreign land, could
be purchased below twenty dollars.
After the patents ran out the price
fell rapidly until now sewing machines
are sold for twenty-five dollars and of
ten below twenty dollars. The sewing
machine manufacturers became im
mensely rich from their profits of sev
eral hundred per cent. It has been
estimated that typewriting machines
cost less than twenty dollars to build,
while they sell for from fifty dollars to
i one hundred dollars each.'
It is generally understood that an
! agreement exists whereby these high
! prices are maintained. Business men
are compelled to pay from three hnn
; dred to five hundred per cent profit or
I go without the machines.
Are there any other machines which
yield such profits as the sewing ma
chine did for years, and the typewrit
ing machine has and does, except it be
the bicycle?
Impurities in the Atmosphere.
Professor S. H. IVoodbridge, of
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
says that although carbonic acid gas,
,or carbon dioxide, is by no means the
i only impurity in the air we breathe, it
S is the qne which can be easily measur
!ed and furnishes a fair test of the
! others.
The best normal air contains three
and a half parts to every ten thousand
of carbon dioxide. The air in the streets
! of an ordinary city contains four and a
' half to five parts. The streets of Lon
! don are on occasions charged as heavi
ly as twelve parts per 10,000, and the
air above an old graveyard is said to
be sometimes as high as sixteen parts.
This is all outside air. Within a public
hall or a church the air will get much
■ worse.
Mr. Woodbridge found in the Bos-
I ton Theatre one evening air in the
! galleries which contained 40 parts car
j bon dioxide per 10,000, with other im-
I purities in a ratio to correspond. The
method of making these measurements
is to exhaust the dry air from a dry
j bottle of known size, and let it fill up
j with the ordinary air of the room, of
course continuing the exhaustion long
enough to secure a fair sample, and
then subject that sample to chemical
tests.
Another interesting fact is that it is
the combustion, particularly of coal,
which loads the air of our city streets
with carbon dioxide, rather than the
breathing of living animals. Compared
with a huge chimney over a steam
boiler, a room full of people is very
harmless.

Fred Harvey, thirty-five, a Barre
(Vt.) teamster, was thrown from his
wagon while driving over a muddy
place in the road, and a wheel passing
over his head forced his face down into
the mud in such a way that he was
smothered before aid reached him.
A novel case was recently decided
by n judge in Brighton township, near
Sacramento, Cal. The wheelmen of
the township, who have a cycle path,
w’ere very much annoyed by the wan
dering of cows on the path, the ani
mals preferring the smooth path to the
road. An animal w'as impounded by
the county officials and a test case
made. The cow came off victorious,
as it w r as found that no pound ordi
nance existed for the township, though
most of the other townships had laws
covering such.
The fourth annual report of the Com
missioners of Public Works of Ogdens

which work $16,470 have been ex
pended. Ogdensburg is now provided
with excellent facilities for road con
struction and improvement. The
equipment, the aggregate value of
which is about fifteen thousand dol
lars, will serve for years to come, to
build and keep in repair a superior
class of macadam roads.
Many farms in this State have en
tailed more labor than was cheerfully
bestowed in piling stones taken from
the laud, stone fences being seen for
miles, yet right alongside of these
fences of stone the farmers have driven
fetlock deep in mud for years, when
they could have used the stones to bet
ter advantage on the roads than in any
other manner, as they were encum
brances. Now that the stone breaker
quickly reduces the stone for the pur
pose, muddy roads should be covered
with __ stone. Philadelphia Saturday

‘ ‘The wholesale trade of the city has
been undeniably light. A number of
causes have operated to this end, the
principal one of which has been the
weather. Country roads in much of
the tributary district are little better
than impassable, and act as a bar to the
ordering of goods not absolutely neces
sary.” The above, from the commer
cial column of the Chicago Tribune, is
extremely interesting. It conveys a
large lap-welded jfact, that, like a can
cer, is eating into the prosperity of
large tracts of our otherwise glorious
country, says the L. A. W. Bulletin.
Nearly twenty years ago General
Grant, in enumerating necessary lines
of public improvement, named the pub
lic schools and highways. Once when
he and General Sheridan were in a re
miniscent mood, the old commander
said to “Little Phil,” speaking of the
latter’s famous ride to the battle of
Cedar Creek: “Sheridan, if that bat
tle had taken place after a prolonged
rain, and there bad not been a good
pike from Winchester, you w r ould never
have been promoted to the head of the
United States Army. You would not
have reached the battlefield to cheer
your men, and there would have been
a great defeat for the Union forces in
stead of a great victory. That would
have left Meade and Thomas a long
distance ahead of you in the line of
promotion.”
Where Soldiers Are Hit. *-
A great military authority says that
when a well-built man of six feet is
facing the enemy he presents a surface
to be shot at of one thousand square
inches.
His face has an area of fifty-six
inches, and his neck of twenty-three
inches, and out of every hundred men
wounded in battle fourteen will be
wounded in those parts. They are the
most exposed parts of the body,
whether the combatant be in a trench
or behind a tree or wall.
The trunk offers nearly four times as
large a target, but it is usually protect
ed by some form of defense work, and
is, therefore, hit only nineteen times
in a hundred.
As Scraps says, it seems extraordi
nary that the arms have as great an
area almost as the body. That is to
say, what the anatomist calls arms,
which include the shoulders. They
measure two hundred and twenty-six
inches, and receive thirty out of the
hundred hits. The reason they are
oftener hit than the body is that they
have to be exposed so much in firing.
The legs, including the hips, have
the largest surface of all, measuring
four hundred and twenty-two square
Inches, or nearly twice as much as the
arms. But they are nearly always pro
tected by breastworks, rising ground,
trunks of trees, etc., and so they are
wounded only thirty-five times out of
the hundred.
When fighting at close quarters the
head and body suffer very severely,
aud when fighting from behind trees
the arms, having to be put forward to
fire, receive an unusual number of
wounds.
A curious fact, which every veteran
knows to his cost, is that when, the
ground is hard bullets are reflected
upward aud wound tbe legs and lower
parts of the body, while, if the ground
were soft, the bullets would bury
themselves in it.

QUEER HUMAN NATUFfBT
Sparrow Fight Almost Canned a Ran on a
Savings Bank.
I- “The recent expose of the swindling
speculative concerns in Wall street has
shown how remarkably unsuspecting
and gullible the average man and wo
man with small savings is,” a promi
nent New England savings bank offi
cial said to-day.
“It is just as funny, when yours is
not the bank involved, to see how sus
picious and fearful these snme people
become when there is the slightest sign
of something wrong in the case of such
ordinarily reputable financial institu
tions as savings banks. People never
stop to think about the most impossi
ble advertisements of ‘wheat syndi
cates,’ etc., until after it is all over.
They usually do all their thinking
about solid savings banks before and
not after something has happened.
“One day last week a most amusing
thing occurred in connection with one
of our smaller savings banks. It was
during the noon luncheon hour. Two
sparrows had been having a fierce bat
tle in the street in front of the bank in
question. The traffic on this particu
lar street is quite heavy, particularly
while clerks, merchants and others are
on their way to and from the midday
meal. The sparrows made a consider
able noise and their movements finally
landed them on the roof of the bank
building. First one pedestrian stopped
to watch the fight, then, another, and
so on until a fair-sized crowd stood on
the opposite side of the street and
looked up intently toward the low bank
building. .
“That was enough. Late arrivals
guessed at once something was the
matter, and soon there was a rush from
the outskirts of the crowd. A few
were on their way to get their bank
books and others to warn their friends.
In the afternoon thirty-eight deposi
tors had appeared inside of half an
hour, many of them humble, foreign
born workmen, and it took tbe best
efforts of the entire bank force to quiet
them down and induce them not to
withdraw their deposits. Asa matter
of fact, four were paid off in gold to
prove that they cottld have their money
if necessary. Then they didn’t want
it.”—New York Mail and Express.
Phenomenal Runner.
Maine is proud of a citizen who has
greater speed and more endurance than
a blooded horse. Ho is Edgar B.
Welch. He lives in the village of
Webb’s Mills, in Casco says
the Boston Herald.
Mr. Welch has lived at Webb s Mills
all his life. He is tall, well propor
tioned and weighs about 170 pounds.
He docs most of his running for the
enjoyment of it. He is eccentric in his
habits, and when the notion to take a
trip strikes him he starts, be the time
day or night. On a trip to the White
Mountains his favorite dog started to
acoompany him,(hut died of exhaustion
on the way.
Some time ago Welch won a race of
twenty miles against a span of horses
driven by 0. G. Jepson. The race
started at Raymond Tillage and ended
at the principal street corner in Port
land. Welch was an easy winner, al
though Mr. Jepson urged his horses
to the greatest speed, and they were
covered with foam -when they reached
Portland. Welch was apparently as
fresh as when he started, and seetned
to be able to make a run of twide the
distance.
Though he has phenomenal speed
and endurance, Welch is not a success
in a race. Some years ago he entered
a twelve-hour race in a rink and took
fourth money, with 61 j- miles to his
credit. The shouts of the spectators
annoyed him, and he could not bear to
be crowded. When other contestants
came near him he would leave the track
and run along outside, which made the
distance he had to cover considerably
greater.
The Indian Baby.
An article on “Home Life Among
the Indians” is contributed to the
Century by Mrs. Alice C. Fletcher.
Mrs. Fletcher says: In the Indian
household, as in our own, children
bear an important part. The baby is
the constant companion of its mother;
not that other members of the family
do not share in the care of it, but the
little one is kept closely under the ma
ternal eye. Soon after birth it is laid
in its own bed, which is often pro
fusely orn'amented, and is always por
table. A board about a foot wide and
three feet long is covered with a feath
er pillow or with layers of soft skins.
Upon these the baby is fastened by
broad bands of skin, flannel, or calico.
When asleep the child’s arms are
bound under cover, but they are re
leased when it awakes. A great por
tion of the infant’s time is spent lying
upon a soft robe or blanket, where it
can kick and crow to its heart’s con
tent. If, however, the mother should
be so engaged as to be frequently
called out of the tent, the baby is
laced upon its board, and hung up
under a tree, or placed where there is
no danger of falling. Should the
mother have to go any distance from
home, she will slip the strap of the
board over her head, and the baby goes
along, winking at the great world from
its mother’s back. Long journeys on
horses are made by babies snugly
packed and hung from the horn of the
mother’s saddle.

Huntsman’s Great Luck.
H. Cox, of Brooklyn, Mich., with a
company of friends, went north to
hr.nt deer. His friends placed him
back of a runway and told him to keep
on the lookout if he wanted deer.
Cox sat there until tired, and then
stepped back to the shelter of a bush.
As he did so a big buck leaped over
the bush, knocked the gun out of his
ban and discharged it. The charge

In Doubt.
A near-sighted girl happened to pass
a furnishing store and to glance at the
show window. SLc checked a scream
and said to her companion:
“Oh, please come here and relieve
my suspense.”
“How?”
“Tell me what I am looking at,
boa constrictors or bicycle stockings!”

A Nonsensical Notion.
Some folks actually believe that they can cure
skin diseases through their stomachs. It's absurd
on its face—absurd on the face of the man who
believes, too, because his disease stays right
there. Stays there till he uses Tetterlne. It's
the only safe and certain cure for Tetter, Ring
worm. Eczema and other itchy irritations. Good
for Dandruff, too. At drug stores, 50 cents, or
