GRABBED AN EAGLE,
Hunter Thought Bird Was Dead,
but It Wasn't
DIDN'T DARE LET GO OF IT.
Holding Flapping Prisoner by Neck
and Fact, Waehlngtonian Succeeded
In Getting It Home Alive After a
Strenuous Struggle.
To have au Immense eagle gripped
tightly between bis strong hajtds and
not be able to release LU bold because
he feared the consequences Is the
strange plight which befell E. P. I*alm
er of Nob IIlll. Wash.. In a bunting ex
perience thai almost places his story
In the list of the nature fakirs.
Mr. Palmer was hunting about thir
ty uiUm fro:u North Yakima. In the
upper Naches valley, Descending from
a preelt?lt??is hicMnc down a Jagged
canyon, weary and footsore, exhaust
*-d and doww-nst by a fruitless day of
toll, the iltisnoeessful sportsman was
suddenly arrested in his course by a
furious whir of wings passing him
with the velocity of a cannon ball.
Turning ijtth'klr in the direction of
this welcome sound of whirring wlugs,
Mr. Palmer beheld, to his wild aston
ishment. n btne -winged grouse fleeing
U-fore the rapid wlnglug of a monster
eagle. Both blnls passed almost with
in reach of his gun barrel.
Like a flash ccme the report of Mr.
Palmer's gun* ns he brought the stock
to his shoulder and fired unerringly
at the grouse.
The result of this shot was most re
markable. One of the small leaden
missiles chanced to graze tho skull of
the eegle. a,nd as the grouse fell to the
earth dead Its parsuer simultaneously
took a headlong tumble, falling by the
side of the game bird. Mr. Palmer
ran down the hill to bag his game.
There before him. apparently dead,
lay one of the blgge*rt American eagles
he had even seen. He stooped to pick
up the grouse, but had Just taken it in
his hand to place in his hunting coat
when, all at once, the eagle began to
flap its wings.
Immediately Mr. Palmer turned his
attention to the big blnl and selzlnc It
fiy the t'aroht iiuTTbef J&rrftffff down
the eunyofl to* liia team and hack.
When the hack hud been reached Mr.
Palmer dtoovere-3 that he had a prob
lem on his hnnil.'i to solve that would

require sonic skill and determination.
The eagle had come to life. lie tlidn't
dare release the feet of his victim lest
his face and bauds be lacerated by the
sharp claws of the feathered hiilmal.
Neither did he relish the idea of let
ttug go of its neck aud taking chances
with the bird's wings. But something
had to be done.
Accordingly he climbed into the rear
of the hack, placed one foot on the
eagle's neck and with one hand held
its two feet and with the other reached
for the halter n>|>e. With this lie sue- j
ceeded in tying the legs, after which
he tied the bird to tin bottom of the J
hack and soon started on his Journey (
homeward. Mr. Palmer had been sul>- |
jected to a severe drubbing by the
wings of the eagle. His hat was J
knocked off and his face was battered
nntil it looked as though he had Just
emerged from a pugilistic ring. Iu
fact, when Mr. Palmer reached home, j
n i '
six bonrs Infer, Iils'wlfe ffeftousfy in
quired if He 'had encountered n grit
zly bear.
The eaglo is uow on exhibition. The
bird measures seven feet find five
Inches from lip to tip and weighs
about thirty-five - pounds In flgb^lnjj
trim. Mr, Palmer iuaists that It was
np to weight the day he captured It.
Alarm Clock In Her Sleeking.
Just because an alarm c|Ock was so
Indellcato ns to ?tart Its clamor of
"ting-a-ling-ling" while reposing In the
stocking of pretty Edith I<". Wlldpr she
was arrested by a Boston department
store detective on the. charge o / Inr
ceny. With her was her cbuin,
Blanche Dunn, who also was arrested
It was a most dramatic moment for
the two pretty vest end girls, who
were defying with (lashing eyes tho
charges of the store detective. It was
nbout the' momehfwhon the girls seem
ed to bo winning their point that the
niai'ii. clock went on its wild telltale
ra*vfie, and tho girls were arrested.
A Poor Prophet.
Conan Doyle told of an experience
which he had when leaving school.
His teacher must have been one of
thoso noble old Romans such as Thack
eray describes as roaring nt young
Pendennls when the major, his uncle,
called to take the boy away. When
Conan Doyle had finished his course in
school the bead muster called him aside
and, after eying him with ominous dis
favor, spoke to him in measured tones
as follows: "Doylo, I have known you
now for seven years, and i know you
thoroughly. 1 am going to say some
thing which you will remember In aft
er life. Doyle, you will never come to
any RoodJ'V-Book man.
CHINESE TIDBITS.
The Way Vegetables and Moats Are
Preserved by the Natives.
In China turnips, several varieties of
pobbage and seaweed are often prepar
ed for winter by giving them a coat of
salt and drying in the sun. A vegeta
ble resembling cabbage Is sometimes
Iried in the sun without salt and put
iway in shallow baskets until ready
for use. They have a way also of mak
ing a kind of .sauerkraut very much as
Americans do. The treatment of cer
alu vegetables In this way is a, com
uou practice. The best native hams
:ome from a reglou known as the Kin
ma district. In Cheklang province. The
lams when pressed and ready for cur
? fng :>:v . ' -m( in vats. A
kjiul of pickle-Is th<rn prepared of salt,
water and :i aft tic? from the Hoy bean,
? which is poured over the fresh hams.
After tlio hams have been in the plekle
n sufficient length of tlmo tJioy are tnk
: en oul and huug up to dry and occa
sionally, -but not often, smoked, when
they are ready for the market. Some
times a little nitrate of potash Is also
added to help preserve them, but thL'i
addition Is the exception and not the
rule. It Js.ropotcd that In the south
hams are cured by means of an alkaline
earth and common salt, but so far as
cau be learned no earth of any kind Is
employed* In the middle nnd northern
provinces. The famous picked eggs
of China are preserved with' a pickle
made of common mud, salt, saltpeter
and soy bean sntice, all mixed together.
The |Cggn r re coated with a plaster of
this mixture and laid away until ripe,
when they are ready for the table.

Hermit Kingdom Supplies Best to
? ? CMna and Japan.
it b not 7<'nei:.illy known that the
best h;nd< ?.f paper met with in China
anu Japan ::re the product of Korea.
It is claimed by* many that the Korean
paper excels the very best that Is made
lu China and Japan. It Is produced
entirely by-manuni labor and without
the use of any machinery. The raw
material "used for (he better kinds la
obtained from the barly of the Prous
sonetiu papyrifera, which is collected
lu the spring and beateu In water con
taining a large admixture of wood
ashes until reduced to a thick pulp.
This Is taken In large ladles and
spread upou frames of bamboo so as
to form thin sheets. Another kind of
paper Is made from old scraps trodden
Into pulp, much in the same way that
grape Juice Is extracted In some coun
tries, and, though this mode of pulp
ing is slow, it lias the advantage of not
breaking the fiber so much as when
machinery Is used.
After the pulp has been made Into
paper the sheets are plied up to a
height of six feet and then cut Into
pieces, to be again subjected to the
stamplhg w'ith the feet. At the same
time the roots and seeds of a plant
called tackpoul are added, the soluble
parts of which are supposed to give
tenacity nnd fws'jnfsn to the paper.?

It saps the vitality; causing Itching scalp,
