Everything I do is wrong; everything the child does is “for effect”; everything we say is utterly untrue. If Vivien runs up to me and kisses me, I hear it murmured that she is trained to do so. So I tell her never to do it again. Immediate. ly people remark how cold I am to the chi.d. No, I am not at all happy. The dear child herself is spoilt by the com- passion that visitors lavish upon her, and vaguely feels that it is hard lines that she should be a wunderkind. On the other hand, if I suggest taking her violin away, she shrieks and is naugh- ty. I cannot punish her. lest the neigh- bors should think we are beating her to make her practice. The child knows this. and cries whenever she wants any- thing she ought not to have; and her digestion is utterly ruined by the amount or horrid things we allow her to eat rather than that she should scream for them. “‘Of course, there are moments of thriling happiness that compensate for much anxiety and worry. peo thc This is one of the great seasons of the infant prodigyâ€"a phenomenon be- coming more plentiful every year. But behind the triumphs of the infant pro- digy there is sometimes a pathetic lit- tle family history. as witness the fol- lowing account of her life and that of her child given by Mme. Annie Vivan- ti. the mother of Vivien Chartes, whose violin playing is sending London mad. I find the account in The Pall Mall Magazine for June. 'I transcribe it as a wonderful little human document: Two eagles will stalk a covert in concert. \Vhile one conceals itself the other beats about the bushes with a great screaming, driving out its quarry for the hidden eagle to sweep down and make an end of it. An even more in- sidious method has been observed, when an eagle. detecting a sheep on the edge 01' a precipice, flew at it screaming shrilly, and with forceful beat at wing hurled it into the valley below, where it could devour it at its leisure. There is good reason for believing, after all, the ancient legend as to the manner in which Aeschylus, the Greek poet. met his death. It is said that an eagle dropped a turtle on his bald head. Al- gerian travelers are familiar with the sight of eagles carrying turtles and tor- toises t9 a height and drOpping them upon rocks to break the creatures’ shells and render the flesh accessible. Kaflir servants. He shot the bird. which, with the child still clutched in its grip, fell into a thorn bush. The bird was dead when picked up, but the babe was little hurt. The eagle meas- ured nine feet from tip to tip of the wings. Other stories are told to a sim- ilar end, but appear less credible than this one. Many traditions are extant as to eagles having carried on and devoured children. In the north 0! England the legend is perpetuated by the name or many an inn, the sign “The Eagle and the Child" being common. The most recent case bearing close scrutiny ap- pears to be one which occurred in South Africa. A Boer farmer, living on the veldt just beyond Barberton, whose stock had been harried by eagles, lay in ambush for the aerial robbers, and saw one of them descend and carry off the five-year-old child of one of his ,- _ v ' 'â€"- “u. wubbc M“ G 9%. says The Scotsman, which completely dispels any theory that the ornitholo- gists may put forward as to eagles not attacking large animals. The bird sin- gled out from a herd one particular buck, which it succeeded in driving from the rest. It struck the animal repeatedly with its powerful wings, knocked it down and finally killed it. Baron Schroeder witnessed a still more remarkable spectacle. An eagle at. tacked a fawn which was one or a herd in the highlands. The cries of the lit.- tle one were answered by its dam. WhiCh sprang upon the eagle and struck it repeatedly with its forefeet. Fawn, deer and eagle rolled headlong down a declivity and the bird was dislodged from its hold and the fawn rescued. But Sir Kenneth Mackenzie knows a more thrilling story than either oi these, for, according to report, an eagle was rent in twain during a battle in his forest in Gairloch. Fixing his talons in the quarters o; a roe, the bird was dashed against a tree. to a branch of which it endeavered to hold to stay the flight or its captive. The bird was halved in an instant.
