THE GOLDEN EAGLE.

special pleasure to be able to have the royal bird so near 
one, and to be on intimate terms with it. The Eagle is 
easily tamed, and does not call for much care. My father 
had one for seven years. 
In many countries our Eagle is used for the chase, 
being flown at antelopes, hares, foxes, and even wolves. 
This is the only useful thing it is fit for.
