MINERVA'S BIRDI IN FASHION

All Sorts Of Stuffed Owls in Lively
Demand at Extraordinary Prices.
From the New York Sun.
ut is really surprising" said the old
English taxidermist In William street
the other day, what an extraordinary
demand has sprung up for owls this sea-
son. 1t has been good and gradually in
creasing for two or three years, but this
winter it has exceeded anything I ever
knew before as a rage for one particular
variety of bird. Why, before the holi-
days, out of every ten people who en-
tered my store, nine were after owls.
When this year opened didn't have an
o owl let on hand except few little
screech owls. Even now, although the
call for them has slackened off
since the holidays, when ever a
stranger comes in I find myself in
stlnctively moving over toward the owls,
expecting they are what is wanted. 1
don't know why the popular taste has
rushed 80 In that direction any further
than that it appears TO be one of those
inexpli cable crazes that people do not
try to account for further than by saying;
Its the fashion," But I have stocked
up again with all sorts of owls, and am
ready and willing for the craze to boom
rishtalong. Prices? Why better!than ever
before. That great snowy owl, the larg-
est and most beautiful of the family, is
worth SIS. have snowy owls as low as
$l5, but not such superb specimen as
that. Yet / used to be glad to get So and

great horned owls are worth

short-eared owls, (the latter sometimes
known as the swamp or meadow OWL

Protection for HOtheds.

Those having hotbeds in gardens fire.
quented by dogs are very likely to find
a good many pares of glass broken by
these four-legged, night-prowling tramps.
Well-trained doga, brought up in gar
dens where there are hotbeds and green
houses usually keep away from glass,
either from having been taught to do so,
or because they have learned from ex-
perience that broken glass will cut.
Stray dogs, however, who have learned
this much at home, are usually off their
guard in neighbours gardens, especially if
in pursuit of a cat, rabbit, or other night
rowing animal, and the result is, hot.
beds are often nearly demolished or
badly damaged. For protection there is
nothing better than light movable fences,
made of barbed wire, and if an extra
number of barbs are put on so much the
better. The fence should be set several
feet away from the beds, in order that
the dog may strike it before coming near
enough to jump upon the glass. The
wire should be of dark color in order
that the fence may not be readily seen
at night.-New York Sun.

What is q University?

GA university" is assumed to embrace
a number of colleges, but the term uni
versity is often applied to institutions of
learning in which there is but one col
lege. In the Dublin university there is
but one college-Trinity. In Oxford
university there are thirty-seven col
leges; in Cambridge, eighteen. De-
grees are virtually conferred py the sew
eral colleges, while they come through
the university. Cardinal Manning is
termed an oxford man." because he
was educated at Oxford-in Christ
Church college. The ancient Romans
applied the term university to any cor
poration of traders or professional men,
and in ecclesiastical language it was used
to denote a number of churches under
the government of one archdeacon. An
instance of this employment of the word
occurs A. ID. 6S8. Accidentally it signi-
fies "a universal school, in which are
taught all branches of learning, or the
four faculties of theology, law, medicine
and the arts, and in W. ich degrees are
conferred in these faculties" The uni
versity system of education originated
in the schools attached to the churches
and monasteries, and was established
during the eleventh century.

are worth eight dollars each. Barred
Owls made into screen are worth $6.
They are not much wanted in fancy form
however, either as screens or in flying
| attitudes. The owls strongest suit is his
dignity, and he shows the best in repose
Inc screen owls are worth $3.50 each.
The Arcadian owlsare the smallest found
In this section of the country nc bigger
than quails; and the Sawit owls from
somewhere away out west, are not
more than half their size. They COM
mand pretty good prices, as they are
rarer than the others, but still never
anything lise the big ones. All the fine
large owls come from Canada as rule,
but this season two handsome snowy
owls were shot over in
Jersey City. Another was
shot on Riker's Hospital. Owls the only
birds used for screens? Oil no; not by
any means. Herons. hawks and gulls
are also used, and indeed, many others.
The handsomest is the white heron,
which, when spread out 80 as to make
sort OF halo of wings and tail, while
perehedi naturally on one leg, is worth
$l6. All the prices | have named are
for owls mounted complete and life
like"
Another taxidermist in Fourth street
says he sells at least one owl day, right
along. and cannot get enough to supply
the demand.
Mr.. Reiche, the bird-dealer, says
nothing Is done in live owls; people
only want them stuffed. In Germany
some people look upon stuffed fowls as
talismans to bring good luck, and per-
haps that notion has just booken loose
over here.
Capt. William Fowler says the great
increase of the owls popularity is due
to the vast social, moral, and generally
nous "Owl Club" which is wont to gath
er in "the hollow tree roost,' at the
Knickerboc cottage at midnight,
therein the language of the call for
their recent dinner--"to cate, too
