Owls Kill Many Mire.
Mr. Nicholson has Issued an appeal to
landowners and country folk generally
not to kill off every bird of prey, but,
instead of nailing the skin of an owl or
a hawk on a burn door because it bears
an evil name in the poultry yard, and is
in the black books of the gamekeeper,
to preserve it, within limits, at least as
sedulously as the partridges and pheas
ants in whose interests it is destroyed.
The barn owl (Aluco flitmmetis) is unde
niably the farmer's friend and by no
means the sportsman's enemy. From
observations made during the nesting
time it hns been calculated that it will
bring to its callow young a mouse about
once every twelve or lifteen minutes,
and as many as twenty good sized rats,
perfectly fresh, have been counted in a
single neBt. A nest containing five
owlets was placed under a hencoop,
and no less than twenty-four rats, large
and small, brought there by the parent
birds, were found lying outside the coop
the following morning. Edinburgh

Destroyers of Grasshoppers,
There is a small reptile out west
known as the fence ' lizard, which
catches and eats a great many grass
hoppers. The species is very common
in the infested regions. Skunks are
most active enemies of the insect and
have been known to ascend trees for the
purpose of catching them. For obvious
reasons it will hardly be practicable to
encourage these particular mammals,
but no such objections would apply to
toads, which are apt to swarm wherever
the "hoppers" are, gobbling the latter
greedily.
Many planters in California employ
flocks of turkeys for the purpose of free
ing their orchards and viueyards of
grasshoppers. One turkey will destroy
an almost incredible number in a single
day. Incidentally the birds are fattened
at the cheapest possible rate. They are
so fond of such food that sometimes
thoy devour too many and die of indi
gestion. Washington Star.
The Daughter Speaks.
A lady, apparently of great wealth,
had been for more than an hour impos
ing upon the unceasing endeavors of a
patient saleswoman to fit with a ready
made costume the daughter of the "shop
per," a child of about eight years. The
hope of adding one more sale to her
day's list buoyed the drooping spirits of
the saleswoman and made her indefati
gable in her efforts to please, but her
hope was in vain, for her customer final
ly said, "Well, I will not decide now,
but I will return this afternoon," where
upon her child quickly remarked, "Why,
mamma, we won't have time to come
back here and the nine other stores
where you've promised the same thing
today." New York Recorder.

Booth's Rest Character.
It was In a high priced restaurant
Thoy were discussing the characters in
which Booth had been must miccomirul,
and the young mnn with it blond mus
tache was satisflod that llttmlct was by
far his best part.
"If you ever saw w H, that, purt
when he was at his b, "t,li snld, "yon
wouldn't dispute the a 1 1 evn for a mo
ment." "Saw him!" exclaimed the mnn with
the dark beard scornfully. "I've seen
hira In about everything he ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some of his other characters. His
Othello was better than his Uamlot, and
his Macbeth"
"Macbeth!" broke in the yonng man
with the blond mnstnrho. "Why, that
wasn't np to Romeo, and that's saying a
good deal. His Shylock was lietter than
bis Othello."
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but jnst as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathing
retort with some side remarks nbont the
"Fool's Revenge" the little fellow with
the single eyeglass roused himself and
said:

Condolences Out of riaee.
"Don't condole with a friend or con
gratulate a friend until five years have
tested the reality of his grief or joy,"
says someliody. But my certie! It's a
good idea, after five years or consider
ably less, to find out how apropos your
remarks aro going to be lieforeyou offer
'em. Instance in point: I met Vachant,
of New York, in the street the other
day, I've been meaning to write to
Vachant college friend of mine, you
know ever since his wife died, two
years ago; brutal of me not to have done
it, for she was a sweet littlo soul, and I
conld guess what her loss must have
been. Well, I rushed up to him, and
pressed his hand, and stumbled out a
plea for forgiveness for not having sooner
expressed my very real sympathy for his
wife's loss and all it must have meant
to him.
I noticed he went rather red and mur
mured something and hurried off as
soon as he could, and when I told my
wife of it and how I thought it rather
queer, she said she didn't think it queer

Swiss Nobility.
A few years ago the question was
asked, "Does nobility still exist in
Switzerland 7" And no one was able to
answer it. Of all the thousand of Eng
lish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels in
summer not one, it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph von
Erlach, whose equestrian statue they
must have seen, has any living descen
dants; not one had ever heard of the
Barnese nobility a noblesse which holds
itself so high that it thinks but slightly
of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura to the Lugano there is hardly a
canton there is perhaps no canton
In which noble families are not to lie
found.
Some of these, such as the Plantas
and the Buols of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chnn
nols and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Seilors, out of the Eng.
lish and the American tourists. Others,
like the Von Allmen, have sunk into a
humbler rank. But the greater part re
main in statu qno, still enjoying in tho
towns or in the country a social pres
tige that varies with their wealth and
their intelligence. Temple Bar.
A phenomenon on Wheel.
The young man bad been esiiecially
saucy on the subject of his prowoss as a
bicycler, and he bet money that he could
make a showing which would startle,
somebody. Arrangements being com
pleted, he started off on a twenty-five
mile trip through the country. Nobody
knew exactly what happened, but sev
eral hours later a conglomeration of
young man and bicycle was slowly
brought into town on a hay wagon. In
the evening a friend called and found
him in bed, done up in splints and ban
dages. "Hello!" he exclaimed, "what's the
matter?"
"Took that bicycle ride today,"
groaned tho phenomenon.
"Did you break the record?"
"No," and here he added some unin
telligible word, "but I broke everything
else."

Royal Flute Player.
Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all musicians except flute
players. He played the flute remarka
bly well himself, and his proficiency
sometimes led to acts that caused dis
appointment to his brother artists. A
famous flutist once visited Potsdam
and asked permission to play to the king,
hoping that Frederick would show his
appreciation of his skill by some valua
ble gift.
Frederick received him gi.icionsly,
and listened attentively while he played
a difficult piece.
"You play very well," he said, "and
I am very glad to have heard a virtuoso
of such ability. I will give you a proof
of my satisfaction."
So saying he left the room. The mu
sician waited, guessing nt the probable
nature of the "proof."
Presently the king retmnrd with his
own flute and played the same piece
which had just lieen executed for him.
Then he bade his visitor good day. say

Flidilns; for Sponges.
The British consul in his report on the
trade of Tripoli remarks that the siKinge
fishery on that const is entirely in the
hands of Greeks, and is carried on by
means of numerous small craft, employ
ing about 700 men among them. The
fishing takes place in the summer months
only and is effected by machine boats
provided with proper diving apparatns,
or by trawlers and harpoon boats. The
diving machines, as the divers have time
to select and cut them, naturally secure
the best sponges, but the trawl nets and
harpoon boats, which can only fish in
comparatively shallow waters, to a great
er or less extent damage the sponges by
tearing them from the Ixittiin.
The best sponges are found to the
westward of Tripoli, the quality becom
ing inferior toward the east. The div
ing is dangerous, owing to the presence
of sharks, and other accidents to he met
with, such as remaining too long under
the water or diving beyond the proper
limits, which often exhausts the divers
and proves fatal to them. English

How the Continents Attraet Seas.
The effect of gravitation in heaping np
the sea waters upon the shores of conn
nents is one of the most Interesting, as
well as the most curious and least con
sidered, fa"ts in connection with old
ocean's history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops of great hills or
mountains of water, and to cross tho At
lanta or any other ocean the ship has
to first go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb tho monn
tain of water on the other side before it
safely reaches a harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culation has been made that in mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
about three-fourths of a mile below the
level of the water at coast line, while
ship in traveling from San Francisco to
Yokohama, Japan, must cross a valley
at least a mile in depth. St. Louis Re

Duel of Two Girls.
At Charkoff, Russia, two girls who
were friends fell in love with the same
young man. He was slow to make his
selection between them. They agreed
that either could win hira if delivered of
the baneful competition of the other,
They decided upon a duel by drawing
lots. On the day following one of the
young ladies was found dead in her
room. She hnd poisoned herself with

and instead a prism is placed so as to
cover one-half the objective of the tele

What Becomes of the "Tomboy."
And what of that little nondescript
known as the tomboy? What becomes
of the romping, hoydenish girl who
mnch prefers the society of the naughti
est boys to the nice, well behaved
daughters of respectable neighbors, and
who- cannot endure the quiet games
with the aforementioned cherubs and
their meek dolls, who have such a tire
some fashion of forever smiling np into
one's face.
Does she still continue to enjoy mas
culine sports when she has arrived at
years of discretion? Is she still inclined
to torn frocks, disheveled locks and an
abhorrence of all thoso things girls hold
most dear? As far as our observation
goes we would most flatly say no, quite
the reverse. The greatest tomboy we
ever knew turned ont to be the most
demure creature at twenty that we could
imagine.
She took to funey work and hospital
visiting with a vigor that seemed must
be meant to atone for nil those years
when she could not be induced, stive un
der the threat of being kept in the house,
to take up a needle and struggle with
the unhappy bit of potchwork that never
seemed to progress beyond a most un
sightly square that had been nsed to
wipe away the tears from a very dirty
little face bent over tho obnoxious bit of
ladylike employment, and the hospitals
served to make np for the abhorrence of
those childish days of anything that
savored of respectable self sacrifice.
Many other instances we have known
where the most charming women have
been evolved from the rude little tom
boy girl; therefore, mothers, do not de
spair if the small daughter shows a
decided penchant for tops and marbles
rather thun dolls and sewing. Philadel

A Story from Paris.
I was residing in Paris as representa
tive of a London firm. An English girl,
who accompanied my wife to the French
capital as upper servant, was married
soon after onr arrival there to a young
French artisan, who almost immediate
ly disappeared. He had been knocked
down by a runaway team and wounded
In the head. He was conveyed to a hos
pital, and when he recovered his past
life was a blank to him. He could not
even remember his name. He drifted
about, living upon charity, until strong
enough to work, when he secured em
ployment, and by industry and economy
acquired a snug little sum of money.
One day his wife met him and threw
herself into his arms. He did not re
member her, but seemed delighted to
meet one who knew him and tell him of
his post life. He came home with her,
and both my wife and myself Identified
him. He did not yet realize his rela
tionship to the young woman, but asked
if she was not his sister. I thought the
young wife's heart would break. I be
lieved the follow was shamming and
spoke to him pretty sharply. Ho then
told his story and referred me to the
hospital physician, who certified to its
truth. He was perfectly sane, bnt conld
not recall a single instance in his life
prior to the time he was run down in
the streets. He accepted his wife, re
sumed his name and they are very
happy together, but the first twenty fivo
years of his life are still a blank to him.

A Joker Among Ttlrda.
The bluejay is the most persistent
practical joker in the feathered king
dom. He will conceal himself in a
clump of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gather,
and when they are enjoying themselves
in their own fashion will suddenly
frighten them almost to death by
screaming out like a hawk. Of course
they scatter in every direction, and when
they do so the mischievous rascal gives
vent to a cackle that sounds very much
like a laugh. If he confined his pranks
to such jokes as this, however, he would
not be such a bad neighbor to birds
smaller than himself, but when he
amuses himself by breaking the eggs in
their nests and tearing the young to
pieces with his bill he becomes a pesti
lent nuisance, and they often combine
their forces to drive him out of the
neighborhood. They do not always
succeed, for he is as full of fight as of
mischief, but a severe conflict teaches
him that they, too, have their rights, and
this induces him to mend his manners.

An Old Ilueeaneer.
"I recently met a survivor of Pirate
Lafitte's band of freebooters," said
Thomas Haines, once a lieutenant in the
United States navy. "He was a tough
looking specimen, and must have been
well past eighty years of age, for it is
more than sixty years since Lafitte had
his headquarters on Galveston island
and preyed upon the commerce of the
Gulf. The relio of those half forgotten
times was an inmate of a Jersey City
charitable institution and was not much
inclined to discuss bygones. He said,
however, that Lafitte was a very hand
some Frenchman more than six feet in
height, well made and possessed of won
derful talents as a commander. He
ruled the toughest lot of men ever con
gregated on one island as though they
were a flock of lambs. Occasionally a
lawless spirit would rebel, however, but
his days thenceforth were brief and full
