THE EAGLE'S VISIT, Once upon a time the eagle was the king of all the feathered world, and because he lived up so high on the mountains and yen - pied so exalted a position he grew to think very much of himself indeed. He imagined that be was ruler not only of birds, but of the whole created universe. Now this is a very dangerous state of mind •to be in. A. very wise man said once that pride goes before a fall, and the eagle found this to be true. He wasn't called the eagle in those days. He had a much more high-sounding name. It was magna, avis, whish means the great bird. And that, too, helped to make him conceited. One day the dove met with an acci- dent. She hurt ber wing and was oblig- ed to fly very near the ground. She could not reach her home at the top of the moun- tain, so she had to remain down in the valley for several days until she got stroug. When she wa3 able to fly she hastened to the eagle with a wonderful story. "Oh, great one," she cried excitedly, "I have inatie a discovery. Far down below the crags On which we live are the most wonderful creatures. There are great beasts many times larger then yourself. They walk oa four feet, and instead of wearin feathers they are covered with hair, itau there are other things more strange still, who are clad in something that does not grow on their bodies at all. They walk upon two feet, but they have no wings and they carry their heads very high. And when they meet each other they inake queer sounde and bend themselves forward in the meet peeuliar manner." The eagle smiled in a very superior way and replied: "My daughter, you grew weary with your long journey, and I fancy you saw most of these things with your head under your wing." "Indeed, sir," protested the dove, eager- ly, "I wasnot dreaming. Pray stretch your great wings and go see for yourself. You 'will be convinced then." She was so very earnest that it made the eagle think. "I really ought to investigate this mat- ter," he said to himself, "If there be any such wonderful things in the world .1. would like to know it. .As yeu 1 luive discovered no animal as great as myself." "None that you acknowledge to he so great, you mewl, " said a voice close by. Turning about the eagle saw the condor perebed on a crag above him. Now there has been for ages great strife among these birds as to which was the larger and strong- er. But as the eagle was more beautiful than the condor and had a smoother tongue, lie had held hiaeposition. "1 think," continued the condor, " that if you would consent to a fair measurement you would discover that, there dwells very near you a bird larger than yourself." "Look here, tny friend," said the eagle loftily, we will settle tbis dispute here and now. I heard that down in the valley below us dwell beasts who are able to van. smith ns both. Now I am about to go and see if this be true. if it is, why then there is no longer any use for you aud me to guar. rel. If it is not true then, we will have a fair contest for the mastery. Are you satis- fied?" "Perfectly," answered the condor. Then tbe eagle called all the feathered tribes together and spoke to them. He -first told the dove's story, a.nd then of the com- pact between himself and the condor. "Ansi now," said he, "I'm going to find out about this thing. If there are any such creatures as the dove has told me about, and i meet them and they overpower me, and I never come back, why, then, you must choose for your king the one whom you think most worthy. And now I bid you good by,"and spreading his wings thespian- dsd bird shot. down from the mountain. There was a great flutter over the affair and the birds crowded aeound the deve to learn all about, the matter. Therenever has been such excitement in the bird kingdom before. They waited very anxiously for their rul- er to come back, but day after day passed and the eagle did not return, nor did he send ary tidings. At last they made up their minds that some evil had befallen him and a council was held, of which the condor was chief. After several plans had been discussed, the condor rose to make a speech: "My friends," said he; "you all heard our king say what agreement we had made in case he did not come back. But I am re. solved. to take no advantage of his absence until I have gone to find out what fate has befallen him." Before the affrighted birds could offer a protest the condor had disappeared over the cliffs on his way to the valley. Meanwhile, where was the eagle? He had found when he reached the valley that the dove had told him the truth. He saw the great animals of which the dove had spoken moving about. The eagle alighted upon a high stone wall that over- looked a great city, for this was in the old world, you know, hundreds of years before the new one was discovered, and this city was in China. As the eagle sat there considering what was best to do next, a mandarin named Wang Tong saw hiin. "What is that?" he cried, "A great bird and a strange one. Why, our chickens and sparrows are .but mites beside, him." The more Wang Tong gazed the more his wonder grew. At last he decided that the eagle must be a god, and he fell on his knees before' it. Then he ran and told all his friends about the wonderful winged god that sat on the wall,and all the mandarins came out and fell on their knees: At last one of them 'said: "We must place this now god in a temple, where we can offer proper worship to him." So they seized poor Magna, and before he knew it he was lielcl captive by chains. He was terribly frightened and very much mor- tified, but not for a moment did he forget that he was a king. He oould not under- stand one word of what the Men said so he could not tell, what they .ment to do with him. He thought he would speak to them. "Most mighty sirs," he said, "I do not know or what you are but I am Magna Avis, King of the Birds. I came down here to see if such creatures as you did really live, and now that I have seen I would like to retnrn to my friends. I will not trouble you. I came with no evil in- tent -I beg you not to hurt me." But of course they could not understaud him and were preparing to shut him up in a splendid temple, where he would probably have died in a short time. Suddenly there came a whir of wings, mid the condor swooped down with such force upon the man who held the eagle that he let hiin go at once, and immediately he soared far above their reach and returned with the condor to their craggy home. "Now," said Magna, "you have saved my life, Dad hereafter you shall be the king, for we will still hold our own dominion in spite of those who lives before us.'f But the generous condc r answered No, no ; I will have it so. You shall be the king now and always. Only that I think I have proved," he said, with a sly wink, "that I am the stronger." "1 admit it," said Magna ; "and if it pleases you and the rest of the birds we will settle that way. You are the stronger, but I am King." And that is how it happened that in the world or birds the eagle ranks above the condor, although the condor is so much larger. The Car of juggernath. The Temple of Juggernath at Pooree Orissa, says tho Bev. W. Miller in the Xis- sionary Herald, with its surroundings, was completed as it DOW stands in 1194 .A. D. Its erection occupied fourteen years, and, cost a stun equal to half a million sterling. It stands in an enclosure, nearly in the berm of a square, marked off by a massive stone wall, 20 feet high by 652 feet long and 630 broad- Within the enclosure are found some one hundred and tweisty smaller tem. pies dedicated to the principal objects of modern Hindu worship, so that each pil- grim, of whatever sect, ands his own favor- ite god or goddess represented. Tho high conical tower rising above the others, "liae an elaborately carved sugar -loaf," ono hun- dred and ninety.tvvo feet high and surmount- ed by the mystie wheel of Vishnu, is the shrineof Jugeernath, where he sits in jewel- odstate, with his brother Belablisdra and sister Subbadra. The images are rude logs, clumsily fashioned into the form of the hu- man bust, from the waist up. On the occasion of the car and bathing festivals golden hands are fastened to the short stumps which project from the shoulders of the idols. The next tower is the Hall of Audience, in which the pilgrims assemble to gaze upon the images. The noise structure is the Pil- lared Hall, appropriated, to the musicians and dancing girls. Adjoining the above is the Hall of Offerings, where fruitee flowers, and various articles of food are deposited, preparatory to being offered to tho idols and appropriated by two priests. The outer structure is the eastern and principal en- trance to the enclosure, called Singe -aware, or Lion's Gate. In front of this is a beautiful monolythic pillar which stood for centuries before the Temple of the Sun at Kanarak, twenty miles of north Puri. The structure, with a double roof resting on pillars, north of the Lion's Gate, is the Sriau afandugs, or Place of Bathing, where the idols RECEIVE THEIR PUBLIC) ARLUTIOXS before being repainted or decorated for the car festival. Ws only at the bathing and car festivals that Juggeruath appears in public. The Brahmins say thet the reason for this is that people of the low castes, who are prohibited from enteriug the temple, may have a sights of juggernath and be saved. The open space in front of the Temple is a, great place of concourse for the pilgrims. It has stalls and shops on each side and down the center for some distance. It is the commencement of the broad, sandy road, a mile in length, along which the oars are dragged to the Goondicha Temple, or Gar- den House, its terminus. The day before the festival the cars, which are forteativefeet high and thirty-five feet, square, supported on sixteen wheels, seven feet in diameter, arearranged in Irene of tha Lion's Gate. The idols are brought out of the temple in a most ignominons way. Even Juggernath is pushed end rocked aloag to the car, a rope being fastened at ound his neck. ciliat with pushing from below and hauling from above he is hoisted up and fastened to his seat on the car. Cotton Milis Consolidation. The negotiations looking to the cousoli- dation ot the cotton mills of the Dominion by a wealthy Montreal syndicate were dosed on Saturday in Toronto. The consolidated business will be known as the " Canada Colored Cotton Mills Company," and will embrace the mills hitherto known as the Ontario, Dundas, Merritton, Lybster, Ken- nedy (Cornwall), Stormont and St. Croix (New Brunswick), which will now come under the control of Messrs. .A. F. Galli and David aderrice, wealthy Montreal mer- chants. The business of the itinalgamated mills will be operated. from Montreal, and is said to represent a capital of $5,000,000. The Biggest Kite Ever Made. The biggest kite in the world was made in Durham, Greene County, New York, about a year ago. It may be taken as the biggese kite ever made. The frame consist- ed of two main sticks 28 feet long, weighing each 100 pounds, and two cross sticks 21 feet long and weighing 75 pounds each ; all of these sticks were 2x6 inches in dimen- sions. Over this frame work was stretched a great sheet of white duck 25x18 feet, and weighing 55 pounds. The tail of the kite alone weighed 50 pounds and contained 155 yards of muslin. Twenty-five hundred feet of half-inch rope served as " kite strings," This plaything cost $75, and when it mount- ed into the air it exerted a lifting power of 500 pounds. Six men once per. mitted it to ascend 1,000 feet. • The Countess of Zetland has made herself very popular in Ireland by appealing to Queen Victoria not to interrupt the Dublin eeason festivities on aocount of the general mourning.

WHEN THE BIG BEAM BREAKS. A story or a Mishap at Sea That Amos - times calls fur lieretc Work. "Stand by your boats This command was shouted from the bridge of the steamship Kansas of the War- ren line on Nov, 4. 1891, by Capt. Alexander Fenton, A report like the discharge of a heavy piece of ordnance had just been beard in the after part of the Alp, a.nd the great iron hull had been shaken from stem to stern. Immediately the screw had ceased to revolve, and the Kansas was as helpless in the arms of the ocean as a babe in the lap of its inother. Capt. Fenton, with the true instincts of a veteran seaman, commanded the crew 00 stand by the small boats ready to face any emergency that might arise. The men re- sponded with alacrity and in less time than it takes to tell it, everything was in readi- ness for a hasty departure from the ship if necessity demanded it. While those pre- cautions were being taken the chief engineer emerged from below, and, going to where the Captain stood, informed him that the shaft had broken short off about twenty- five feet inboard. It can readily be under stood what an accident of this nature means as the sail area of a modern steamship is hardly sufficient to give her steering head- way even in a gale. It is on such occasions that the ingenuity and tact of the master of the ship is called in motive play, and the Captain who can bring his ship into port *man S17011 OIROWASTAXCES, and thereby save to his company the enor- mous sum that a tow would Involve, is just the man for his position. That all this WaS successfully accomplished by Capt. Fenton will be shown by what follows : The steamer Kansas sailed from Liverpool on the 2801i of October with a general cargo of English merchandise. She WAS 10 splen- did condition, having recently came off the dry dook in thorough repair. It was her ninety-third trip across the Atlantic, and, while not starting out to break her record, the Captain believed he would have a most suecessful passage. Everything loorked smoothly until the afternoon of Nov. 4, when the accident occurred, and the ship took even chances of going to the bottom of the ocean. There was a heavy sea on at the time, and the wind bowled through the rigging with a force that threatened to wrench it from its fastenings. The log showei that the ship was just 811 miles off Fastnet when ahe re- ceived the shock that came very neer end- ing her career. When it was learned that the shaft had parted, an examination show- esi that the trouble was in the stern tube, which is probably the most dangerous point on the whole length of the great shaft, as at this particular spot tho packing is used to prevent the water working into the tunnel. Here was an emergency that Capt. Fen. ton was quick to appreciate. It was shown that the ship was making over 200 tons of water per hour, and that the safety of the vessel and perhaps the lives of those on board depended on checking this flow. It was a perilous undertaking to go into the tunnel, as the water rushed m with the force of a Niagara. "Who will volunteer to follow tee ?" saki the Captain to his men. All of the officers stepped forward and one brave seaman. While the Captain could have ordered any member of his crew into the tunnel, yet he felt he would not call upon them to go where he was not willing to lead the way. Down into the black deptbs of the ship descended the men until the tunnel WAS reached. .A hasty survey showed that it was half filled with water. Grasping their way along in nurky darkness the stern box was finally reached. Here the water was nearly up to the armpits of the daring officers and of icy coldness. The danger of the undertaking was enhanced by the fact that any accident to the pumping engines and the tunnel would have beeome filled with water, rendering escape impossible. But the machinery worked all right for the time, and kept the flow pertlyunder con- trol while tho repairing was going on. The officers had. taken with them ropes, blankets, and any other material that could be used to advantage hi diminishing 'ea THE RCM OF THE WATERS. An attempt was made to chain or chuck up the broken and of the shaft, but in this only partial success was attained. The men re- mained at their labors for over four hours, and when they emerged it was with diffi- culty that their limbs were made to relax their rigidity. The next morning it was observed that the water was gaining in the tunnel, and again the a'aptain called for volunteers to repeat the hazardous experience of the day before, and again the officers came forward. There was a renewal of the first experi- ments, and after being in the water for over three hours the men again came out. They were utterly exhausted, but under the care- ful treatment of the ship's doctor they ulti- mately regained their lost energy. The Kansas is fitted with a half dozen powerful pimps of the very latest pattern, and by their continual use the water was kept under partial control. The wind at this time began to anbaide, a most fortunate circumstance, bue the sea continued to run very high. One precaution was the opening of the tunnel so as to allow the water to pour into the engine room and stoke halls, and thus in a measure relieve the tunnel. After this the Captain turned his atten- tion to doing what he could to make port. First of all the sails were set, then the can- vas on the small boats was hoisted, the covers wore also put up to the breeze, EVERY SPARE SAIL was brought up and rigged so as to catch the puffs of wind ; the cargo booms mid derricks were also utilized, and thus decor- ated, the Kansas presented one of the most novel marine pictures which ever decorated the Atlantic. 'Under the influence of the moderate breeze the steamer took up a sort of drifting course, or, as the sailors call it, she had a leeway of six.points' and crept the water at the rate of 24 knotsper hour. Practically she went dead to leeward. The prospects of reaching shore were not very assuring, but all that human ingenuity could devise had been .done. On and on she drifted until it was believed she wonid ultirriately reach the Frehch coast. In the.meantime the pumps began to cause trouble, as under constant use they became choked and worn, which necessitated stop ping them from time to time to make re- pairs. During these times the water fre- quently rose to a height of seven feet in the ship. The ships rolled heavily, and a great part of the cargo beearee brdken and the contents of barrels and boxes were a conies - ed mass in the hold. On the sixth day after the aceident the British steamer Von dram sighted the Kansas and sent a boat off to see 'what aseistence she could render. It was decided that the Vondrarn .should tow the crippled ship into Liverpool, and arrangements to that end were immediately carried out. The Kansas I was practically helpless, and the great strain that came upon the hawsers was more than they could stand. After the two ships had kept oompany about forty-five miles the ropes parted, and all subsequent attempts to renew the attachment of the two vessels failed, and the Vondram finally STEAMED AWAY OlIT OP SIGHT. On the following day the steamer Iran bore down upon the Kansas and atternpted to do what the Vondram had failed in. But the task was too great, and she, too, was com- pelled to abandon it. TLe thought of leav- ing his ship never entered lie mind of Capt. Fenton or his officers. They had resolved to stand by her, sink or swim. The vessel continued on her drifting course for ten days, and was nearing the Bay of Biscay when the. wind suddenly shifted to southwest, which .changed the course east -north-east. About this time the disabled screw began to thump and crash into the stern of the ship, and there was imminent danger that it would tear out the whole stern. But alarm from this source suddenly ceased, as one of the blades became wedged fast into the race of the vessel, as was shown when the repairs were being made in dry dock. The Kansas held to her new course for an additional ten days, and gradually drew toward the coast of Ireland. On the morn- ing of the 200h day after the accident Capt. Fenton located his ship about sixty miles off Queenstown, and concluded to communi- cate with the land if he nould find a crew of volunteers who would undertake the task in a lite -boat, The men were readily secured, and, under charge of the tiecoud officer, they put of for the shore. They had their orders to land, however, and, like good soldiers, they carried them out. Before assistance arrived the ship had drifted within nine miles of Old Head. Kin- sale, and ultimately brought up four miles off the coast, where the waves tossed her about ae if she were a birch canoe, Finally three powerful tuga put out to the assist - an ce ot the disabled ship, and she was towed into port.

He prepares his copy hurriedly and without judgment or thought, leaves its display to the printer's taste, does not attract the eye or the dollar of the reader, and then says advertising does not pay. Advertising is an art, and does pay, if made a study. The advertising agent has goods just as legiti. mate and valitable to sell as the salesman of drugs or jewelre, And this fact is recognized by advertisers. The eseentiale of advertising can perhaps be stated as but three in num. ber : you must have what people want or can be made to want; you muse select the proper medium to reach them, and you must tell your story in an attractive and foroeful manner. All the resources of modern ingenuity are called to the aid of the advertiser -art, 'poetry, music, high literary ability, keen business insight, all contribute their quota. Lincoln's famons saying that " you can fool all the people part. of the One, and part of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time," must not be dallied in practice, if one expects to build up an enduting suecese. Advertising is a field of an infinitmle of variety ; what saccectis in one branch, is a failure in an- other. Intelligent study of the question is an absolute neceesity.-iPharin Ern.

An example of the cunning of gulls was observed at Tacoma when several alighted on a bunch of logs that has been in the water for a long time, with the submerged side thick with barnacles. One Wits a big gray fellow, who seemed to be the captain. He walked. to a particular log, stood on one side of it close to the water, and then ut- tered peculiar cries. The other gulls came and perched. on the same side of the log, which, under their combined weight, rolled over several inches. The gulls, step by step, kept the log rolling until the barnacles showed above the water. The birds picked eagerly at this food, and the log was not abandoned until every barnacle had been picked.
