Every one was fascinated by the baby's pretty and smiling face and particularly by two golden curls which hung down ber cheeks.

After awhile the child became nerV' ous and began to tug at one of the curls which protruded from her hood, The woman, presumably her mother, quickly stopped her, but a few mo ments later she looked out of the window. No 'sooner was her face turned than the child seized her bonnet with both hands and pulled it off. It offerer little resistance, but to the astonishment of every one on the car the curls came with it, and the supposed golden haired baby showed that in reality its head was without the semblance of a hair. The child swung the bonnet to and fro and laughingly held it up for the Inspection of the other passengers. It was almost a minute before the woman turned around.

When she saw what the baby had done, her face flushed, and without a word she pick ed up the child and walked sedately out of the car. When last seen, she was trudging down Spring Garden street with the baby tucked under her arm like a sack of oats, but still hold ing tightly to the bonnet and cooing, "See my pooty Philadelphia Times.

The fact is a military camp during times of inspection is no more sedate than is the rear of any well regulated stage when the public in front of the footlights is being entertained. The shifting of scenes and the proper execution of, an intricate play require all the thought that can be given them.

All the men and women have all they can do to properly perform their parts. If a manager Is an easy going man, caring little for discipline, he soon gets to the end, of his career. You may be sure there is no business that is carried on in a more businesslike way than is the playhouse, and when the fun is on in the front those behind the scenes are carefully watching to see that no hitch occurs and that every one is ready to do his part at the proper time and does it properly when the time comes." Washington Star. How to Dry Rabber Boot. It was a problem how to dry out hip rubber boots.

In the sitting room there was an open grate Are which was covered every night with fine coal and a few shovelfuls of ashes, so that the room never became quite cold. We found that If we heated a piece of old flannel as hot as possible and stuffed It down into the foot of a boot and stood the boot in front of the fireplace It was as dry as a bone next morning. The handiest thing to keep the boot leg open is a spring steel corset rib abont 18 inches long by three quarter Inch in width. Forest and Stream. Refrigerated Ettn, Eggs become unwholesome when kept in refrigerators.

A fungus fotms in them which is easily found by the microscope, although It is not noticeable to the taste.

EAGLES AND THEIR PREY. There 'is at the present moment at the Natural History museum a model of the skull of an eagle so gigantic that the imagination can scarcely fit it into' the life of this planet at all. The whole head is larger than that of an ox, and the beak resembles a pair of hydraulic shears. Unlike most of the giant beasts, this eagle, which inhabited Patagonia, appears from its remains to have differed little from the existing species. Its size alone distinguishes it.

The quills of the feathers which bore this awful raptor through the air must have been as thick as a walking stick and the webs as wide as car blades. It would have killed and torn to pieces creatures as large as a bison and whirled np into the sky and dropped Into the rocks the gigantic carapaced animals of prehistoric Patagonia as easily as a modern eagle of California does the land tortoise on which it feeds. Even today there are few carnivo rous animals, whether birds or beasts, which have so wide a range of prey as the eagles. Like the kinged dragons of old story, they can ravage earth, air and sea and feed promiscuously on the denizens of all three elements. Prom serpents on the burning desert to seals on tho everlasting ice, from monkeys In the tropical forests to marmots on the Alpine slopes, from dead sheep on highland hills to peacocks In the Indian Jungles, no form of.

fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them, and the young eagle, driven by the Inexorable law of his race from the home where he was reared, finds a free breakfast table wherever he flies.

I had severe shooting pains throught the pelvic organs, cramps and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice.

The doctor said that I had ovarian trouble and ulceration, and advised an operation. I strongly objeoted to this and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found that my judgment was correct, and that all the good things said about this medicine were true, and day by day I felt less pain and increased appetite.
