The Eaglet’* Firzt Flight.
n. B. Mccphersou gives a dramatic
account of tbe first flight of nu eaglet j
whoso life from babyhood be bad |
watched. One day lie ventured to the ,
edge of the cliff containing bis cradle j
and looked about. Suddenly Ills moth- |
er swung past on silent wings and
“tried to tempt trim from his fast
ness." Bur lie was unwilling or afraid.
Again the mother hovered round, and
a wild, weird cry rang through the
glen. “For the first time I bad beard
the yelp of tbe adult eagle, the voice !
of the queen of birds railing to her
young. The eaglet cheeped continuous- i
ly until he flapped to the very edge of
the abyss, listening to her call. And
now he. too, changed bis cry: his voice
seemed to break, mid the adult yell
burst from his throat. Tbe eagles
called to each other, yelp answering
yelp. The young eagle gazed round
hint, spread out his giant wings and
vanished forever from my sight among
the ledges below. The eaglet had left
the nest and had flown.”
Poor Simila.
"I never saw auy one so timid as
Henpeck Is.” remarked Wlgger. “Why,
he’s like a mouse In his own house."
“Nonsense!” exclaimed Wagger. “His
wife isn't the least btt afraid of him.”

Baboons and Water.
In Captain Drayson's "Sporting
Scenes Among the Kaffirs” we find the
following: “Well.” said Kemp, “when
I go into a country where there Is not
much water I always take my ba
boon." "You don't drink him, de you?"
“No. but I make him show me water."
“How do you do that?” “In this way:
When water gets scarce I gHe th*
Bnvian none. If he does not seem
thirsty I rub a little salt on his tongue.
1 then take him out with a long string
or chain. At first it was difficult to
make him understand what waa want
ed, for he always wished to go back
to the wagons. Now. however, he is
well trained. When 1 get him out
some distance I let him go. He runs
along a bit. scratches himself, shows
hts teeth at me. takes a smell up wind,
looks all round, picks up a bit of grass,
smells or eats It. stands np for another
sniff, canters on. and so on. Wherever
the nearest water Is there he is sure to
go-”
Tha Tyrant In tha Fiald.
There have been few commanders so
tyrannous as Lopez, the dictator of
Paraguay, when, in the war of 18fi!>-70.
it fought single handed the neighbor
ing countries of Argentina. Baazll nnd
Uruguay. I-opez. says Mr. W. H. Koe--
bel In his "Argentina." was wont to
carry the theory of victory or death to
an uncomfortable point. “Officers
were executed for mere remarks
whose tone fell beneath the standard
of confidence that l.o|>ez had set up
for himself. One. for instance, was
shot for having announced In the
course of his duty that the enemy was
strongly Intrenched! Another met his
end on account of an unguarded
speech to the effect that the Para
guayan army was accustomed to count
tbe enemy’s losses and forget Its own-”
