an OWL As a GOOD ANGEL,


In the cabin Of > bark lying at Mis-
sion-Stseet wharf is q soodrsizcd glass
case containing the stuffed body Of .
large white owl. Itk beautiful spcci-
men of its species and Is the property
Of the master Of the bark, Captain Ed
monds. II is fully two feet in height
and its snowy breast is very nearly
nine inches across. What makes It in
deed n rara aris Of its kind is the
fact that it is perfectly white from
its claws to the top Of its big head.
"Three years ago." said the Captain.
II was in command Of schooner
owned by the Hudson-Bay Fur Com
pany, plying between Ungara bay and
other points along Hudson straits and
Newfoundland and Halifax. One day
/ started on snow-shoes from the
schooner to trading-post, but Is
terrible storm came on | sought
to return. l lost my bear
ings and wandered ainlessly about,
hallooing and yelling, but had
small hopes of my cries being heard.
Hours passed in this way, and it became
pitch dark. Benumbed and exhausted,
/ at last fell down in the snow and gave
up all hope of ever seeing my schooner
again. As with people freezing, ! be-
came semi-conscious, and my extreme
cold gave way to prickly heat, which
knew was preliminary to death,
Suddenly heard one Of the most
unearthly noises near me. Ii raised
me like an electric shock, and listened.
A mournful hoo hoo!' at my feet
caused me to stagger mp and look
around. / heard flutter, and then |
saw something white in the darkness.
My fears increased. thought il must
be spook. The huttering was re-
peated, and the object came nearer,
and then | saw my mistake.
1t was white owl, out in
the storm with myself. Then | re-
called the old Esquimaux superstition
that a white owl always appeared when
one was in distress, and that if followed
the owl would conduct one to place
of safety. ] approached the owl and
it receded. | staggered ahead and it
still went before me, but never got out
Of sight. ] don't know how far ! fol-
lowed the bird, which at intervals
emitted its mournful 'hoo-hoo, as
though to encourage me. Think
ing l must be near the ship, hal
looed with all my feeble might,
and was rejoiced to. hear response.
Soon, through the falling snow, ! saw
lantern, and knew that ] was saved.
The owl seemed 10th to.leave me. and |
threw it the remains Of my provisions,
which il devoured grcedily. twas not
long before ! was once more on the
schooner, and now you know why |
think so much of this owl, as it is the
one that saved my life
- But how did you get it?" asked
the reporter.
THAT is the queer part of it, re-
sumed the Captain ; 9 in the morning
the owl was seen Tapping around in the
snow. and one of the men secured il
without trouble. 1t died soon after ii
was brought aboard. concluded that
in its hungry condition it had gorged
itself with the food threw it and its
death was the result. Being somewhat
of taxidermist stuffed it myself, and
money couldn't buy it now, although |
have been offered $3.50 for it,

decided ability from the text Now

STREET CHAPEL.
The meeting at this church is still IN
progress. Mr.. Needham preached last
night from the second chapter Of Titus
and the eleventh verse d" For the grace
of God bringeth salvation to all men,"
The speaker clearly demonstrated by
Scriptural illustration that on account
of our past and present sins this saliva
tion is necessary. He urged very forci-
bly, the Importance Of accepting at once
this free-offered salvation, and pictured
very strongly the dangers of delaying to
accept the mercies of Christ. After the
sermon the pastor, Rev. G. p. Scott,
followed with an earnest and impressive
exhortation to accept now this great sal
yation.
Mr.. Needham expects to preach every
evening this week, commencing at 1;3O

last night was conducted by DIR. Ed
wards, pastor Of Centenary church.
His text was - Be sure your sin will
find you out Numbers xxxii., %.
The congregation was large and listened
with deep interest TO the discourse,
which most clearly set forth the cer-
tainty of the punishment Of unpar-
doned sin. The singing, which is
very prominent part Of these services,
was very fine. There were two COLI
versions at the altar. Services begin at
1:30 and conclude at $3.50.
