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.

Put a pill in the pulpit if you want practical preaching for the physical man ; then put the pill in the pillory if it does not practise what it preaches. There’s a whole gospel in Ayer’s Sugar Coated Pills; a " gospel of sweetness and light.” People used to value their physic, as they did their religion,—by its bitterness. The more bitter the dose the better the doctor. We’ve got over that. We take “sugar in ours”— gospel or physic—now-a-days. It's possible to please and to purge at the same time. There may be power in a pleasant pill. That is the gospel of Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. More pill particulars in Ayer** Curcbook, 100 pages. Scut free. J. C. Ayer Cos., Lowell, Mass. 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. OUR BUDGET OF HUMOR.

Strangely enough a railroad 1 smoother than a plank road. ‘ ‘Honest Elections and Good Roads'* is the platform on which Charles G. Richie, of Louisville, Ky., is standing for re-election next November as Judge of Jefferson County Court. 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 bnrg, N, Y., gives an infesting detailed account of the work done for road im provment during the past year, for 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 Post. ‘ ‘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. His Autograph in Tin. Forty-one years ago Thomas Me- Namee, President of the Wabash Na tional Bank and one of the wealthiest residents of Wabash County, was a ■journeyman tinner in Wabash, and put a tin roof on an old dwelling near, the ancient leek of the now defunct Wa bash and Erie Canal. When he had finished the job he etched with u scratch-awl his name in the last sheet of tin. The property now belongs to the Thompson Milling Company, and Mr. McNamee has made a request of the latter to be permitted to cut out the sheet of tin bearing the autograph placed there before the war, and per mission has been granted. The roof shows no signs of wearing out, though it has withstood the elements for more than forty years.—lndianapolis (Ind.) News. The Bermudas export over 17,000,- 050 pounds of onions annually. 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. Muhoganj’ Kallroad Cars. Anew train for the Queen of six carriages is now in course of construc tion at Swindon, England, and its elaborate internal and external deco ration is engrossing the attention of the fmost expert artists employed by the Great Western Railway. The only wood used is mahogany, and the doors of. the Queen’s carriage are so con trived as to allow the entrance of two attendants, one at either side of her majesty. It is also arranged that the approach to the royal saloon is to be on a level with the platform, so as to dispense with any necessity for steps. 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 ,/vt the deer and it foil dead within a few feet of the hunter.—Chicago Tri btuae. Calling the Chicken#. In England the calls chuck, chuck, or coop, coop, prevail; in Virginia, coo-ehe, coo-che; in Pennsylvania, pee, pee. This latter call is widely employed, being reported from Ger many, Spain (as pi, pi), Bulgaria, Hungary, Bavaria, and the Tyrol. In the Austrian province the term is used in combination, thus, Pulla, pi, pi; tbe call pullele, pul, pul, also oc curs there. In some parts of Germany the poul try are called with tick, tick; in Prus sia, put, put, and young chickens with tuk, tuk (Grimm), and schip, scliip, the latter being an imitation of their own cry. In eastern Prussia hens are called with kluckschen, kluck, kluck; also tippsohen, tipp, lipp. Grimm records also pi, pi, and tiet, tiet. Weinhold reports from Ba varia bibi, bibeli, bidli; pi, pi, and pul, pul. In Denmark the call is pootle; in Holland, kip, kip; in Bohemia, tyoo; in Bulgaria, tiri, tiri. In Doubt.
