Owls.

Owls were never an epicurian feast,
but Southey once had an owl roasted
for dinner, for himself and Mr.. and
Mrs. Wordsworth; give the sequel in
his own words:
1--WE agreed there could be no pre-
text for making owls game and killing
them as delegates; but # ever you eat
one, by all means try it boiled, with
onion sauce"
An omelet made of OWLS eggs is
said to be a cure for drunkenness.
AT one time the workmen on the
Washington Monument were q good
deal annoyed to find that plumb line
that reached from the top to the bot
tom OF the shaft was frequently med.
died with. At last it was found that
an owl had taken up its abode in part
of the shaft that afforded a shelter, and
in passing in and out it had disturbed
the line.
An owl was once beguiled into q
Georgia conference mecting, intent on
securing a rat that had run into the
room to escape from so persistent an
enemy. Dazed by the light he sailed
around few times and alighted upoa
the bald head of an old man directly in
front OF the speaker. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say what was the next move;
but the presence of the owl may have
called to the preachers mind the pres
ence of Isaiah, who, when he toretold
the desolation of Babylon, declared
that the house should be full of doleful
creatures, and that owls should dwell
there.
An owl once seriously disturbed the
mourners at funeral at Beechwood,
Ontario. With tender care they had
placed the remains in tomb, and
were turning away sorrowing, when
they heard moan that seemed to come
from the coffin. Hurriedly they broke
the caskct open, only to lind all quiet
within, and then IL was discovered
that the noise they had heard came
from owls at the far end of the vault.
Dodsley thought it worth his while
to write an ode on the death of an
owl. and Broomticld made the bird the
subject OF his muse. Many persons
believe that an owl will keep his eyes
SO intently fixed on a person walking
around him as to wiring his own neck
OH, and IL was not until some quick
eyed observer discovered that when
the owl had turned his head halfround,
nc whlsked it back through the whole
circle with the rapidity Of lightning,
and faced again the person Who was
experimenting on him. - Providence
