Tam* Eagle Hants as
Did Old-Time Falcon
Capt. C. W. Knight, English bird
photographer, owns the only tame
eagle In the world which will hunt
from his wrist like falcons did In
days of old.
Training the eagle, Captain Knight
told a writer for the American Mag-
azine, was one of the most painstak-
ing jobs he has ever attempted, not
even excluding dropping himself over
cliffs to photograph the savage birds
in their aeries.
1 "When I received this bird," said
Knight, "he weighed 30 pounds and
was very savage. In order to cure
him of fear, I placed him In a dark
room, where he would not see strange
people and sights. I fed him In the
dark at first until he would eat from
my hand as I stroked him with a
feather. Later I fed him by candle-
light and then by daylight. He had
absolutely no fear of me.
"At first I unhooded him and tempt-
ed him to fly to my hand to get a
piece of meat. Then I released him
at the end of a long leash. After some
time I found I conld release him to
go after birds which were his prey
and he would invariably return."

Happiness of Heaven
Possibil:iy on Earth?
Some real lives do—for certain days
or years—actually anticipate the, hap*
piness of heaven; and, I believe, If
such perfect happiness Is once felt by
;rood people (to the wicked it never
comes), its sweet effect is never
wholly lost. Whatever trials follow,
whatever pains of sickness or shades
of death, the glory precedent still
Shines through, cheering the keen
anguish and linging the deep cloud.
I will go further. I do believe there
are some human beings so born, so
reared, so guided from a soft cradle
to a calm and late grave that no ex-
cessive suffering attends them on the
journey. And often these are not
pampered, selfish beings, but nature's
elect, harmonious and benign; men
and women mild with charity, kind
agents of God's kind attributes. P.ut
it is not so for ail. What then? Ills j
will bo done, as done it sure will be,
whether we humble ourselves to resig
nation or not.—Charlotte Bronte.
Storm* That Reverse.
The weather bureau says that the
belief that storms reverse with equal
severity is true of the typical cyclone
of the tropics, such as the hurricane
of the West Indies and the typhoon
of the China sea. These storms con-
sist of more or less circularly rotat-
ing winds about a practically calm
center. Hence, when such a storm
passes centrally over a given place,
that place experiences strong to vio-
lent winds in the opposite direction
from those of an hour previous. This
statement is true also of the tornado,
though in this rase the duration is
very much less, often only a minute
or two. Hut it is not true of other
storms, such as tiie widespread rain
or snow storm of middle latitudes.
Immense "Tee" Trade.
If Great Britain introduced a ban on |
golf, not only would it deprive 500,000 j
men and women of their same, but It j
would mean ruin to many large firms |
that depend entirely on the sport.
More than £20,000,000 a year is spent
on tlie game, and this vast sum is dis- |
tributed to the advantage of at least j
100 trades and industries. Great Brit- j
ail) possesses no fewer than 2,500 golf j
courses. In the London district alone 1
there are 250. Glasgow claims 225. j
The average membership is 200, j
though a Ric-kmansworth club, with a
mansion for a clubhouse, boasts 1,100 |
members.
Recipe Really Simple.
Aunt Maria was without a peer
among negro cooks. Her specialty
was molasses cookies. One day she
was asked her recipe.
Without hesitation she replied: "Ah
takes a cup of flour, but Ah don't use
all of it, then Ah adds two gullnps of
molasses—"
"But," interposed the guest, "what
are 'gullups'?"
"Honey, don't you know? Well,
when you has a jug of molasses, and
turns it up, the molasses say, 'Gnl-
lup,' and then run a little more and
say 'Gullup' again. All takes two."—
Exchange.
Chemistry'* Triumph.
If all the flowers lost their perfume
and colors, all the spices their pun-
gencc and most fruits ilieir flowers,
chemists could closely imitate most of
the lost factors synthetically.
The Indigo blue of India comes to-
day from Wilmington, Pel.; the pre-
cious musk of the Tibetan mountain
deer is imitated in Delawanna, N. .7.;
the equal of tannin from Argentina,
quebracho, holes from a Rensselaer,
(N. Y.) chemical vat. Balsam of I'eru
(a natural product of Salvador) might
logically be renamed balsam of Penn-
sylvania.
Author of the Clamor.
"We had a skeer last Friday night,"
related the proprietor of the Tote Fair
Store at Tumllnville. "Some kind of
a varmint went rambling around
town, screaming like a panther."
"Yep!" returned Gap Johnson of
Bumptis Ridge. "My least boy,
Bowdy, was in town visiting his
gran'maw, and told me he slipped out
an* hod a whole lot of fun, a-holler-
!a$ and ripping around."—Kansas

The Goodyear
All-Weather Balloon
The World's Greatest Tire
.*♦ <•*« <£ <>*• *** *♦ **♦ *** ** *** v *•*
Goodyear's scientifically designed
All-Weather Tread matches the
Goodyear Balloon Carcass (made of
SUPERTWIST cord].
It is scientifically designed for Bal-
loon Tire use
The sharp-edged, diamond-shaped
blocks are placed in a semi-flat de-
sign. They grip the road, they re-
tain their usefulness longer than
any non-skid tread offered hereto-
fore. Long, slow, even tread wear
is assured as opposed to the "cup-
ping" and uneven wear so noticea-
ble in many other Balloon Tires.
And with these advantages of trac-
tion, non-skid and long wear, this
tread is perfectly quiet and does
not produce vibration.
Let us show you this tire. We
have your size.
