"Can there be any possible htrm in killing owls for women's hats?" ex claimed a New York milliner to a mem ber of the Audnbon Society the other day. "Of what use are the horrid creatures to anybody?" The pretty milliner was quite snr prised when told that owls were very useful birds. Owls eat the field mice and other small rodents that work great injury to the farmer, and every one that is lost not only means a men ace to tho farmers, but a distinct loss to agriculture. , Dr. C. Hart Merriam, ornithologist of the United States Department of Agriculture, has estimated that in offering a bounty on owls and hawks, which resulted in the killing of more than 100,000, the State of Pennsyl vania sustained a loss of nearly $5, 000,000 ia oneyearauda half.

A pneumatic snow plow, driven by electricity, is certainly as np to-dote a machine as any one could desire to use in winter. Its novelty consists in the fact that the snow is blown off the track by a blast instead of being swept away or removed by some sort of snow plow. It is n pioneer invention, which cannot be too soon introduced into England, for, although the sum mer has just left ns, we shall be very soon plunged into the heart of winter. Accidents and Hearing-, Trofessor Bnrkner. in his Inet in the clinic for ear diseases at Got tingen recently, referring to the num erous railroad accident that hav on. enrrod in Germany of late, said that n is proDauie mat many were due to imperioct nearing on the part of rail road employes. While larfffl r-lnnsns of employes have their vision tested periodically, ana often also their hear ing, vet deficiencies in hearing cana. city occur anion? them frnnnAntl-- which are not detected by these ex aminations. Mauy who suppose their hearings to be be perfeotly good, by careful testing are found to have very serious defects. By reason of this general self-decsption, no faith should be put in a man's own statement that he hears well with both ears. The practical investigation of the sonse of hearing demands annh a maa. tery of the various methods used as can hardly be reuuired from tho nr. dinary physioian. Tho professor said a great part oi tue trainmen, and par ticularly of the engiuemen, after relatively short term of service, no longer possess normal hearing, though many oi inein may still be fit for ser vice. An adequate acnteness of hear ing is of the createst imnnrUnon not only among trainmen, but track guards ana switcumen; these and others should have good hearing in both ears. A man hard of hearing in one ear has great difficulty in determining from what direction a sound comes. The safety of travelers and of the em ployes themselves, said the professor, requires that far more attention be paid to the ears of railroad men. The Increase of Homes. One of the best possible facts in the Intter-dav nroirresa nf thin onnnfr. ia the inorease in tho number of homes. In crowded centers of population, such as New York and one or two other cities, the flat and the hotel must always be necessary, for innnn ia ton valuable to be monopolized by the numoie. uut even around the very lanre. cities there are hpinc bniltthnn. sands and thousands of suburban oot tages and country residences, and all through the length and breadth of the country, in the towns, villna'Aa and cities, artistio homes are increasing at uu asiumsmug rate, ii any one will take the trouble to look UU thfi litprn. ture on the subjeot he will find that in this country there aro more than a hun dred papers devoted to these home builders, (riving them each weak nlo.na and suggestions.

Ladles rs Ship Matters. Lady Ernestine Brudenell-Brucehas forwarded some correspondence which has passed between herself and the Board of Trade with reference to an ipplication recently made by her to be jxamined for a yacht niaster'n certifl jate. On August 11 last Mr. Howell, the Assistant Secretary to the Board, wrote that the admission of ladies to (lamination for certificates of com petency is not contemplated by the regulations, and that the Board regret that they -cannot permit a lady to be examined for yacht master's certificate. To this her ladyship replied that, as the certificate is purely voluntary and only entitles her to command her own property, she would submit that the position was somewhat different to her applying for an ordinary certificate of competency to enable ker to serve in any ship, and therefore she consid ered it unfair to be debarred by rea son oi ner sex from obtaining a certifi cate which could not be of any pecuni ary benefit !to herself, and the non- possession of which would not prevent ner from holding command of her yacht. Mr. Howell having again do- clared the inability of the Board to give enect to Lady Ernestine s wishes, the latter replied to the effect that, as there is no rule or regulation which stipulates that a lady may not present herself for examination, she would be obliged if the Board would favor ber with their reasons for refusing to al low her to obtain the voluntary certifi cate for yacht master; and on Septem ber 7 the Board of Trade replied, stat ing that they had always considered and held that a master's certificate clearly implies that it is confined to men. London Times. Mary Anderson as a Slngor. Madame Je Navarro, who is none other than onr beautiful American actress, Mary Anderson, of former days, recently participated as a vocal ist in a concert at the sleepy old Eng lish village of Broadway, in the Cots wolds, where she lives. Hence the rumor, wholly unsubstantiated, of her intention to re-enter publio life as a singer. At Broadway Miss Anderson has a congenial friend and neighbor (n Miss Maude Valerie White, the composer, who has taken great inter est in the development of the actress' singing voice a full and deep con tralto flexible and of flue timbro. When Miss White organized her con cert at the Lygon Arms an antique hostlery with memories of King Charles and Cromwell Miss Ander son readily oonsented to assist. The brilliant crowd of country gentry, loyal Broadwayites and enthusiastic Americana who attended expected to make due allowance for an amatenr, but the fair singer treated them to a genuine surprise. "Here," says the London Sketch, reporting the event, "was dramatio fire, variety of ex pression, and above all, a deep sense of musical propriety. The applause was as sinoere ias it seemed grate ful to the singer. No need to ask whether Madame de Navarro was pleased. Her face told the tale. In her dress of pale green silk, graceful and lissom as of yore, she looked as young as when she first captivated England's heart as Perdita or Juliet. The face of the successful artist is seldom entirely pleasing when in re pose; there is almost invariably spoiled, selfish look, some suggestion of pettishnestf or regret. But Miss Anderson is unspoiled by her success, and one may vorily believe that her self-imposed seclusion has brought with it no heart-burnings. She lives between her domestio cares, the de lights of social life, and the consola tions of the little chapel, whose altar she is as proud to adorn as she was that of the Ursuliue convent at Lou isville in her girlhood days." Leslie's Weekly. To Crown Fair Faces. Large wida Rubens hats of black velvet, with broad drooping blaok os trich feathers on crown and brim are very effective accompaniments to cos tumes of black velvet. Toques and bonnets are, of course, always in order for the no longer youthful. In the trimming of some of the new round hats, tho velvet has been gtfV ered, aud then the gathering thrcll cut, while the puckers still remain the velvet. ' As to ubbon trimmings, the now styles are Ulaek aud colored velours, also the basket-work weaviugs in self colors. Some ribbons have the sur face well covered with Oriental bro cades, aud shot glace ribbons with borders are to be seen abundantly. Striped velvets, bright silk plaids, chenille and seqnius also figure exten sively iu the decoration of hats. Various shades of red and cerise still hold popular favor, and we have become so used to seeing this brilliant color iu millinery, that it no longer attracts undue attention. Some Trench rouud hats of sunburnt straw like ecru Milun are trimmed with wreaths of Jucquemiuot roses and foliage, with high loops of wide satin ribbon in the same rich red. Others of dark reseda straw are bound and trimmed with velvet of amaranth red, aud with clusters of velvet damask rose without foliage. Birds and feathers! Yes, thousands of them, despite the "bird law." Birds of all sizes, from the turtledove to the blackbird, are nsod, and, when too large to be put on entirely, the neati is combined wit a artificial wings. All kinds of foathers fiud a plaoe duck and cock feathers, wings of swal low and owl, feathers of parrots, blackbirds, pheasants, and, above all, ostrich plumes. The price of the lat ter advances continually, a sure proof of the demand for the article. The winter1 models show full amazones in unheard-of lengths. They are pnt on lying full length, or partly around the crown, or droopiug over the brim. Ostrich plume tips are enriched with all kinds and sizes of spangles. Where the brim is broad enough a lone feather boa may be lined irmtnad of a plume. These boas are in several oolors, black, white, silver gray, white and gray, white and black, castor and beige.

Long boas are fashioned at the neck and belt with jeweled pins in the form of a clasp. Narrow ruches of lacs are supersed ing the black chiffon frills used to edge collars, epaulets and revers. Aluminum grav red plum and ab bess violet, which ia a mixture of blue and violet, are fashionable colors. This is to be a fur season for both the tots and the grown-ups, when all kinds of furs will be worn, either as entire wraps or as garnitures. Plumage trimmings aud feathers are much in evidence, aud there ia a de mand for tufts of osprey, aigrettes and the beautiful toils of birds of para dise. The new silk underskirts are es pecially rich and handsome, and are made of moire velours merveilleux aud taffeta, showing flounces ami full rnch- lngs of ribbon. In novelty hosiery, plaids are con spicuous. The quality is exceedingly fine.aud according to hosiery importers the demand for high-grade goods was never greater. To produce an appearanoe of slender- ness where it does not exist, and to emphasize slimuess where it is natural, appears to be the aim of all dress- mukers at present. Color combinations in millinery arc somewhat quaint, but very pleasing. A dark blue velvet hat has plumes of sil ver gray, with fans of velvet in blue, and an aigrette in gray and white. Black braids are very extensively employed to trim either black or col ored gowns. Wide military braid laid on straight aud flat is used, but elabo rate designs carried out iu fine blaok braid are more fashionable still. Feathers of all sorts are .used and made np into plumage, aud birds are among the most popular trimming. The birds are in all sizes, some of them extremely lurge; indeed, there are those that appear to be almost the size of an ordinary burnvard fuwl. A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.

This fine species, wfiioh belongs to the same genus as tho Orionoco goose of Bouth America, has the beak equal in length to the head, and at the tip bent sud denly down, so as nearly to hide the lower mandible. The wings, whioh are long and broad, are each armed with a small bare knob (the Orinoco goose is often referred to as the "kuob winged" goose); the tail is providod with fourteen rounded feathers. The sides of the head and front of the neck are whitish, the back of the neck is brown, as also is the collar that en circles the lower part of it. The general color of the upper parts is a mixture of black and gray, while the under parts are yellowish brown, with some black and white markings; ou the breast there is a brown patoh. The primaries and- tail feathers are glossy black; the tip of tho beak is pink, as also aro the legs and feet. Altogether, this is' a striking and rather handsomely colored bird. It is the "Vulpansor" of Herodotus, and was domesticated by the nuoient Egyptians. It is now found in tho valley of the Nilo, south of Cuiro. London Pall Mall Oazotte. The Oldest Man.
