Eet.GLES AND SEA rowts ARE PIERCE FIGHTERS, A Postman's Experience Tw o French. TourestS KiUed Eagles. The Maritime Alpe of Eastern France have long been noted as be- ing the haunt of the most ferocious and powerful breed of eagles in exis- tence. Children iumnnerable have been carried off' by them, and tiny even attack adults on oecaelous, Sometimewith dire results. In July, 18E39, for instanee, a post- man named Gustave Silva, who car- ried ti e mails, on foot between the Villages of Sospeelo 'end Puget Then- iers, was set upon while crossing the pass' by three large cock -birds, and frightfully injured. He managed to drive off his winged assailant, with the aid of his alpenstock, and even- tually reached his destination with his bag of letters. But bis ease was from the first regarded as hopeless by the local doetors, and sure teiough, after lingering in indescriba- ble agony for .six days, he succumbed to his wounds. kteanwbile two young French tour- ists, Messrs. Joseph Monand and Antoine Neyssel, went up ieto the mountains to try to kill the birds that had done the damage, and were savagely attacked in their turn, Both men were armed, but the sud- den onslaught of the winged creat- ures completely unnerved them, end after firing oily one shot they TRIED TO ESCAPE by running. The birds, however, struck them down ere they had gene many yards, and they would have doubtless been torn. to pieces where they lay but for the opportune arri- val of a, party of shepherds. These sumeeded in rescuing Mr. Neyssel alive, but terribly injured, he having sustained no fewer than ten severe wounds in the head and back, besides innumerable minor lacerations and abrasions. Hie compa,nion, Mr. Monand, was killed outright early in the fray, and his body when re- covered presented a most shocking spe.ta,cle. Mr Neyesel recovered af- ter six weeks in bed, but is disfigured for life. Very tragic was the fate of Peter Thoralsen and John Hibbert, two seamen belonging • to de whaler Good Hope, who attempted for a wager to reach the summit of Posee- sion Island some years ago. his, perhaps the most desolate and sel- domevisited spet, on the whole globe, is the home of myriads of sea -fowl, who occupy the entire surface of the land, from the lowermost beach to the top of the conical mountain whieh occupies tee ,CENTRE OF THE ISLAiSTO.

Once the records began to break they fairly blew up and left only email fragments. One hundred and forty miles per hour, even if not outdone by a con- siderable margin, still means that the hundred -mile -all -hoer train is mach nearer to reality than it has ever been before. That speed is quite feasible whenever it is demand- ed. and it is enoreover, quite high enough to meet the requirements of humanity for some little time to come. Its real. importance lies, as we have often remarked, in its ap- plication to long lines on which the !saving of time would be methane. Cutting down the running time to IFlatbush or Hackensack may de- fer tee dyspepsia of the commuter for another season or two, but it is tot commercially important. It ds 'cutting the time on long runs that counts—reducing the time to Wash- ington to less than three hours, and converting ti.e trip to Chicago into a mere night's run. It is now announced that the ox- perftnents have. been conducted large- ly with the idea ef the early applica- tion of the system to the railroad connecting Beflin with Hamburg, dis- tant by rail 176 miles from each other, and that an early conversioli of that line is by no means impro- bable.

As fast as the influence of the Congo State is extended over its vast domain, tee authorities are making much trouble for the fetich doctor by dimininishing his prestige and punishing him for practising his art.

Ordinarily the ostrich is a shy bird, more ready to run than to fight on the approach of a human being. But in the breeding season,' and especially when the hen has near- ly finished sitting, the old cock is frequently little less dangerous than A WOUNDED TIGER. Many terrible. tales are told in Cape Colony of tbe ferocity aith which tbey will then attack all and sundry, and , of the shocking injuries they are able to inflict with their long pointed toes. Nor is escape at all easy. A native will spring up wards at the bird's long neck, and gripping it tightly swing bimself on his assailant's back, where he is comparatively safe. But Woe be- tide him if he misses. The emu, too, is equally dangerous under similar circumetances. "Bert Castleton, the well-known Austra- lian explorer and prospector, lost his life in a fight with one of these birds after passing unscathed through all sorts of dangers. The exnu, an "old man" bird, took him unawares, hurling him to the ground and breaecing one of his legs, after which it deliberately set to work and • pounded him to death. When next day, tee body was ei .coeered by a earching party. it was found to have sustained no fewer than Sixty-thrce wounds, many of Limn of the most shocking character. STRONGEST BEAK.

What joy there is ill the home when the first baby comes, and yet to the young and inexperienced mother who has to care for it there is no other, period of her life so trying. In the little ills that are certain to come the inexperienced 'mother scarcely knows what to do. To the young mother—to all mothers—Baby's Own Tablets are a real blessing. They promptly cure such troubles as con- stipation, colic, sour stomach, diar- rhoea and simple fevers. They break up colds, destroy worms, allay the irritation accompanying the cutting of teeth and prevent inore serious ills. These Tablets are sold under a, guarantee to contain no opiate, nor any other of the harmful drugs al- ways found in. the so-called "sooth- ing medicines. They are good for all children from the new born b,abe to the well grown child. If you do not fled the Tablets at your medi- cine dealers send 25 cents to The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont., and a box will be mailed you post paid. THE PRINCESS AND P.EPITO.
