Pet Eagles.
There are a few cases in which
cades have been made pets, so that
\ve may suppose that if the birds
were commoner they could be tamed
at least as easily as bears. An inv

and did not fly away when at lib¬

eagle kept on a chain, which shows,

to roam about the Oehils, A gold¬
en eagle, caught when fully grown,
was successfully domesticated, but
its wings were cut when it was first
taken and so it had time to get ac¬
customed to its new home and new
life. Sometimes it went off for two
or three weeks, but always cam

H-// Kipling's Great Memory Serves
Him in Story Writing.
“Thirty years ago,” says an An
glo-Indiau civil engineer to a Lon-,
bon correspondent, “I traveled out
to India on the same steamer as
1Irs - Lockwood Kipling. She had
M*itli her a babv girl and a bov of'
three. ’Ruddy,’ as she called him,
T/ns a so { em n. yellow faced
c h a p, v - ilh a big hat and frilly
round the ends of his tiny trousers. !
We.soon struck up a friendship. He
would walk up and down the cleric
with me for hours, holding on to
my thumb. In after years, as you
know, Kipling obtained the sub
editorship of an Indian paper. J
was building engaged about that time in
editor of a great railway bridge. The
Kipling’s paper wrote to
mo asking permission for one of his
reporters to come and write a series
of three or four articles on the sub¬
ject of the bridge, which was one of
the biggest undertakings of its time.
I replied, saying that if ‘Ruddy’
eared to come he should have every
privilege, but I didn’t want anybody
else.
“Sure enough ‘Ruddy’ came, and
a great time he had. We showed
him everything, and he took every¬
thing in. Ilis eye for detail was
wonderful. lie was like a human
camera, with a memory for names
as well. Years afterward he wrote
‘The Bridge Builders,’ and in it he
used the information he picked up
from me and my men then. It is
all as accurate as possible. There’s
not a technical error in the whole
thing. As far as I can see every
one of his engineering stories is ab¬
solutely correct.”
Helping Out Mr. Gladstone.
The announcement from Canada
that the Duke and Duchess of Corn¬
wall had to give up promiscuous
handshaking 4, while on their visit
there recalls an incident of Mr.
Gladstone’s memorable Midlothian
tour. At one time there was a

great handshaking ordeal at the
window of the old gentleman’s rapidly rail¬
way carriage, and he was
getting the worst of it. A stalwart
young policeman who accompanied
Mr. Gladstone proved equal to the
occasion. Crouching behind the
groat man and thrusting his hand
under Mr. Gladstone’s Inverness
capo the muscular policeman that gave had
each comer in turn a grip aultf

man’s uncommon veegorous at his

another of the policeman’s victims,

To Wash Scarlet Flannel.
To wash scarlet flannel mix a
of flour in a quart of cold
water and boil ton minutes. To
add some warm suds made with
soap and then wash the flan¬
nel gently, rinsing rather than rub¬
bing it. Now rinse in two or three
waters of the same temperature—
just comfortably warm to the hands,
pot hotter—and hang out to dry in
the shade. By this method Che
color should remain unchanged in
the flannel after many washings.
