FIERCE ALPINE EAGLES.
They Are Ferocious In Their Attacks
on Wayfarers.
The Maritime Alps of eastern
France have been noted as being the
haunt of the most ferocious and
powerful breed of eagles in exist¬
ence.
Children innumerable have been
carried off by them, and they even
attack adults on occasions, some¬
times with dire results.
A postman named Gustave Silva,
■who carried the mails on foot be¬
tween the villages of Sospcllo and
Puget Theniers, was set upon while
crossing the pass by three large
birds and frightfully injured.
He managed to drive off his wing¬
ed assailants with the aid of his
alpenstock and eventually reached
his destination with his bag of let¬
ters, But his case was from the
first regarded as hopeless by the
local doctors, and after lingering in
indescribable agony for six days he
succumbed to his wounds.
Meanwhile two young French
tourists, Messrs, Joseph Monand
jyjid the mountains Antoine Neyssel, try went to kill up into the
to
birds that had done the damage
and were savagely attacked in their
turn. Both men were armed, but
the sudden onslaught of the huge
winged creatures completely firing only un¬
nerved them, and after
one shot they tried to escape by
running.
The birds, however, struck them
down ere they had gone many yards,
and they would have doubtless been
both torn to pieces where they lay
but for the opportune arrival of a
party of shepherds. Mr.
These succeeded in rescuing
Neyssel alive, but terribly injured,
be having sustained no fewer than
ten severe wounds in the head and
back, besides innumerable minor
lacerations and abrasions.
His companion, Mr. Monand, was
killed outright early in the fray.
Mr. Neyssel in recovered disfigured after for six
weeks bed, but is

The Old Master.
It was Mary’s day out, and she
was the parlor comparing maid from notes No, with Susan,

“So 1 ’ear you’ve left that art¬

“Yes, liindced,” remarked Mary.

when she says to me, ‘Mary,’ she
says, ‘when you’re a-dugtin’ of the

to touch the old master. It’s worth
thousands of pounds,’ she says.
“Well, that got my monkey up
something proper. Tlexcuse me,

He Didn’t Have to Prove It.
One day a stranger stepped off
the train at Hopkins and said to a
man on the depot platform,. “Can
you tell me who,is the best lawyer in
this town?” “I am,” replied the
man on the platform without hesi¬
tation. The stranger seemed some¬
what disconcerted by this display of
egotism and gently said, “Excuse
me, sir, hut I should like to have
you prove it,” “Don’t have to prove
it, sir,” answered the man on the
platform. “I admit it. I'm the
only lawyer in this town, sir.” And
immediately the lawyer stranger got a law
ver and the got a client.—

Discreet Silence.
When Bismarck was a boy his
father desired him to become a cler¬

in the Century. In his later years
the “Iron Chancellor” found humor
in the suggestion.
“You probably think that if I had
become a clergyman I should be a
better man,” he said jocosely to his
wife one evening.
“I will not reply to that,” she said
quietly, poiite.” “for my answer would not
