When the pioneers entered the Black Hills 0! Dakota, thirty-five years ago, golden eales were .as common as are English sparrows at present, but with the death of Old Sentinel, , that occurred a. few days ago, it. is \believed that the birds have become extinct. Aiter the children are past the stage of dolls and horses, it is a good plan to give thema present of a book or game on birthdays. In this way soon have a stock. draughts tiddley winks, spelling games, etc. These are always enjoyed where there is a family, or when companions come in to join; and a shelf _ filled with story books provides hours of pleasure to the solitary child. Where money is not so plentiful, and games of this kind are out of the queston,, there are many more economical ways of amusing the To encourage young people to club together and “save up” for some more expensive amusement is desirable. Many uncles and, aunts, al- so visitors, are liberal with their coppers and silver at birthday times These small sums are often wasted on trifles which perisn with the us ing. Put together, however, and something added, there might be suflicient for such a thing as a scoond hand bagatelle board, which would be a treat to the whole house- hold and their friends for years. How to Make Evenings Happy children. To cut out the pictures from papers and magazines, or even advertisements is always pleasant and interesting. Let these be pasted into .an old copybook or better, into a book for the purpose, made of linen. and glazed cotton, and behold, a nice present for baby or a sick Companion, or for the hospitals. It is worth while for parents who have their boys and girls about them to provide the young folk with am- usement at home; otherwise they soon learn to slip out to look for fun in the streets, where they see and hear so much that is objection- able. and perhaps fall in with comâ€" panions whose influence will do them lifeâ€"long injury, Well for those chil- dren whose parents make them hap- py at home, and well for those par- ents whose children know that their best companions and playfellows are their fathers and mothers. If all the members of a family collect their postcards for a season either in a box ~or an album, or go over the pictures and talk of who sent them, and the places they came from they will make many a winter evening pass pleasantly. Also to gather pebbles and shells or country treasures during summer and then go back on where;they were and ‘what they hid when they got these things will bring summer sunshine into wintry weather for both parents and children. This paper has suggested several practical ways of amusing children, and now it must finish as it began. It is worth while to spend time and trouble to make the young folk hap- py. They are likely to grow up betâ€" ter men and women for it, and if they should be spared till their par- ents are feeble and grey they will never grudge anything they can do to make the old folk happy. A.P. Last of the Unlike eagles of other sections of the country, the golden eagles were much larger, more fierce, smiter of flight and of a different Color. The feathers and plumage of the back were almost yellow, hence the name. In the early days of the commum ity the birds were ‘so numerous that they were considerably of a menace to the settlers.

After the death of his mate Old Sentinel would make trips to the southern and western hills, frequent- ly being absent for weeks. Many times he was shot at, but he seemed to bear a charmed life, for the bul- let was never cast that was to end his career. 6 Recently E. N. Norman, of the United States land ofllce at Rapid City went to Deadwood, 18. D., deâ€" termined if possible to capture the golden eagle alive. He realized that Old Sentinel was the last of his race in the hills, and that in his capture he would secure a prize well worth eflort. Going out to the Ragged Top Range with a small party of friends he was told that 01d Sentinel had not been seen for more than a mouth. Mr. Norman concluded that a trip to the lofty home of the eagle was worth the trouble. and climbed to the top of the mountain, There, cov- ering a space of more than twenty feet square, were the bones of almost all kinds of small domestic animals, lying about in heaps.

Ropes were put around one of the men, and he was lowered and pulled back, bringing with him the prize, not a live, but a dead eagle. Making an examination, Mr. Norman became convinced that the eagle must have been fully 100 years of age and that his death was due to old age. The body was taken down and brought to Deadwood, where the skin will be mounted and probably become the property of the Historial Society of South Dakota.

Lifting him entirely off his feet she swung him along to the sidewalk and dumped him with a whack.

Express trains, telephones and ele- : vators have not increased the ner- 1 vous strain of modern life, argues Prof. Muensterberg in an American magazine. They lessen the friction of existence compared with what our forefathers knew. “Of course it's true," he said, “that the social life has become more manifold, and the outer tension has become stronger, but it is entirely misleading to be- lieve that that is in itself a greater strain on the neurons system. The scientific psychologist brings no clear- er conviction from, his laboratory study of mental life than that of the relativity of mental states. The mil- ler. does not hear the noise of the mill. No one of us feels the touch of his clothes. In the same way we have become insensitive by adaptation t our tumultuous surroundings. When we return from the mountain woods we hear the roaring of the city for a day or two ,and then it sinks below our conscientiousness and no longer harms. our well-adapted nerves. More- over, while our modern life has beâ€" come more manifold, its emotional strain is rather less than that of the r past. Our life is less sentimental and more realistic and business like. Least of all ought we to measure the good or poor states of our nat- ional nerves by the complaints of. tiredness.

Did you ever ask yourself: “ How is it that Zam-Buk is so popular?” It is because it is superior and different to other salves. Contrast them! Most salves are nine-tenths animal oil or fat.
