"a Large Owl.

Some two months ago hunter over IN
Mammoth Park, Colorado. shot large
owl. tie ruahcd up with the expectation
OF hnc!ng it struggling In tho aSones of
death, but was somewhat surprised and
startled to find the b ri standing erect aud
apparently anxious to have revenge ont OF
some one for the IN jurIes he he had sus
tanned and the phin hc W suffering. lie
made dash tor the hanter, but it wae
eVid, Mt that he was winged and could not
make much progress. Tnc hunter secured
Il long pole and determined 10 mako a CAD.
tive OF his large eyed hi.hness il 1t was
'ssihle, wlLh,ut killing hun. This, after
some irnn5le, he sloceedsd IN doing. but
not until he was forced to club The obstl
nate bird into partial submission. Ile fin.
ally pinned nim uOWn To the earth and then
tied biz legs together. 4 rope with run
| nlng moose was thrown over hla head. go
that when he became obsrepcrous he could
be choked into submission. In this way
| the hunter succeeded IN dragging his cap.
tive to the road, where an orc wagon soon
| passed and he secured passage for himself
and captive 10 the city. Ga arriving there
| the bird, OF course, attracted great atten
| lion. He measured nearly ten feet from
tiy to tip OF each wing. lie would snap
as viciOusly as a mad cur at the approach
| of any one, and the only way one could get
neal was by first choking him dowu. What
to do with him Was the question. The
hunter hud about decided to take him out
eide the corporate limits and round up his
career with a rife shot when Alexander
Carstcn5, the saloon man, proposed to pur-
chase tho wild fowl aid attempt to tame
| him.
The captive was taken to the rear Of MIR.
CArstcns' establishment and chained In the
middle Of store room. Carstens then
went to work to civillze him, and, remarlkr
able as 1t may seem, he accomplished all
that he set out to do. Tho broken wing
at first aggravated the captive, but this
gradually got we'll and in tho course OF
three weeks Was In as good condition as
the other. For nearly month he would
permit no one to come inside of his prison
and it was necessary to throw food In tc
him by stealth. He soon learned to kno "
Carstens' voice, however, and gradually
his owner was permitted to open the door
and throw meat 10 him. In this way the
captor and captive made friends and IL
the end the gr.at bird took delight In hav.
ing MIR. Carstens come in and pat HIM or
his great head. Carstons always used en-.
dcaring words and sentences, such a:
"Good old boy" "Doos you like your ole
boss Alecka" kiss your dada." and al
that kind Of thing.
The fame OF that bird went all over the
State, but Nj. Carslens would not par
with him. He had determined to kceI
him, unll few dave ago gentleman
came up from New M.xico, net only /,
see hin! but to purchase him. He ha,
come all tho way from Santa Fe to'hav
that bird. They wanted 1t for a museum
which was now travelling, but ultimatel
would become q fixture IN Chicago. Alto
some bautsring Mr.. Oarstsns agtesd TO TAX
J 800 for his pet, and the bargain wa
closed and the nae2sy paid.

Bi6tory and Cosr OF q Tunnel.

The recent opening OF the st. Goth
ard Railway through the Alps has moved
CONSUL Byers, of Zurich, to write {
sketch Of the great tunnel. The pass
OF that name is over the highest noun
tain chain in Europe. Tie old Los
road, commenced in 1920, 1000 fee,
above the sea III pluces, was 181 fee,
wnte; 1t crossed. gorges. olung dizzily
to steep mountain sides, and was
rooted over where most threatened by
avalanches. When tho first railway
was opened, in 1916, from B.,den to
Zurich, it was proposed to ask conces.
slons to enable the company to attack
one Of the high passes, ami in 1863 o
union or society for the , rurpose was
effected, upon the basis Of vi estimated
cost Of $37, 100000. In Decomber
1871, the st. Gothard Railway Com.
pany was organized, SO, 8OO, 900 stock
and $13, 600, 900 of bonds wore issued. a
contract was made calling for comple.
ton Ill eight years, with forfeit OF
| 81, 900 for euoh additlona. day. and a
bonus of 81. 900 for each day gained
upon the contract time. Work began
in the summer of 1879, and it was soon
| discovered that the estimates were
wrong, and that $57, 1900, 900 would be
needed to carry out the plan; crisis
followed, and the enterprise seems to
have been sayed only by what had al
ready been Invested in 1T, leaving no
way out but to push ahead. The rail
way property extends 113 miles from
tmmensee, i'll Switzerland, to Chiusso.

The main or great tunnel is 81 miles
long, although others, exceeding 6 600
feet, might be thought noticeable else
where. The great tunnel is 26 feet
wide and 10 high. The modern boring
machines were worked by air oom-
pressed by large turbine wheels driven
by the rapid river Reuss. The alr was

Another GreRc Luko IN Africa.

Inc existence OF another equatorial lake
ia Central Africa, far TO the west Of Albert
Nyanzs, rumors Of which have reached
EUROPE from time to time since Sir Samuel
naacrs urst Journey, Is again reported,
tn's time IN much moro definite form.
hlr. Lupton. Governor Of the Eyyptlan
province OF Bahr al Ghazal, writes to us
from his station, Dehm Siber, on the OF : h
OF July, to the effect that Rafai Aoa. an
employe under his command, on his return
from an expedition toward the Uslle. told
MN that he and some Of tho members Of

men III his letter). Mr.. Lupton gathered
that the position OF the lake was ID abou,
dog ~ min. north latitude, aud % dep.
east longitude, and that 1t was quite ns
large as Victoria Nyanza. When the
weather permits, the Barboas cross tho
lake lu large open boats made ont of n
single tree, the voyage taking three days.
ana they obtain frOm the peoole living on
the western side (the,r own country being
cast OF the Lake) articles of European
such as blue beads aud brass

account or his route to the lake: Started
iron Dchm Bexeer marched six davs
southwest to Isrlba el DJuleb, then four
days south southwest to Beuger; four dnvs
south west to Z4riba Warendema; six days
southwest by west to the Bahr eli Malswnr.

BnrDers and Surgeons.

1t must be recollccted that IN early times
there was plenty of need OF the surgeons
art, and comparatively little for that of
the physician. Taking into account tho
big wars and lltxle wars, crusades, rebel
lions, tho tree exercise of tho ''rlght OF
prlvate war" by persons OF noble hir,h,
and ordinary brawls and sqnahbIes, it seems
TO have been long odds on cold steel against
all other ailments whatsoever, AMI there
was little fear OF 6 Rcntlcman's HE teluu

Tho chaDCes were all in favor OF being

NOUS Company Of Batber-Surgeons. How
closely the two callings were at one time

WHICH BARRIERS nowadays but rarely hang

a COllJlIIat Lesson.

In deciding all interesting question
growing out of an ante-nuptial contract
the Supreme Court Of Iowa has given
an opinion which may prove q sugges-
tive lesson to good many husbands
md wives as we'll as those who may pro-
pose to take one another for "better or
worse." It appears that John York Of
fercd to make specified pecuniary pro-
vision for Susan Mosier if she would
marry him. Susan consented, tho con-
tract was duly made and the marriage
followed. In less than two months
after their wedding the bride aban-
doned her husband and refused to live
with him. Her JASON for this WAS his
drunkenness, Subsequently John died,
whether on account of the loss of Susan
or the cause for which she had left him
does not appear. After his death the
widow claimed the benefit of the con-
tract and sued to enforce it. The SUI
preme Court decides against her, It
finds that Johns intemperato habits
were no worse after his marriage than
they were before and that Susan knew
az much about them before az she did
afuer. Under these circumstances the
Court holds that she was not justified
A'l AChFlhB tthSt lluu hoU llfol up w
her part OF tho ante.n,lptial agreement.
| Hence she was not entitled to the bene-
fit of it. "She chose q drunkard for her
husband" says the opinion, "and she
ought to discharge the duties Of a
drunkard's wife. Sne does not show
that her personal safety or even her
well-being required Der to leave him.
She doubtless would have lived more
comfortably in the society OF sober
man, but she ought to havo considered,
and ,ubtless did consider, the discom-
forts OF n drunken husband when she
married the intestate. But she urges
he promised reformation before mar.
riage. HIS failure to keep this promise
did not justify her in deserting him.
All the world knows that such promises
made by drunken man are always
broken. In few words, as she know.
ingly married drunkard she must be
content to bo drunkard's wife," Thit
pointed lecture doubtless left Susan
sadder If not wiser woman.
