the theological meetings ami de-
votional exercises have been faith
fully supported by the students aud
esDeciaily by the members of the
choir. to whom we extend our most
sincere thanks and appreciation.
We also take pleasure In coDferr-
ing great credit upon the orginist,
INSPECTORS, and monitors Of the re-
spective Departments and orgaui:a-
tions. The term slips distributed at
i the close of the exercises Will rep
resent the efficiency OF each student
in the different specifications which
have been determined after n
thorough examination at the close OF
the first term. Parents are respect
fully asked TO examine them anu
report anything rot satisfactory.
Particular attention is drawn to the
percentage in punctuality and the
number Of days pupils have been
absent. --n
The irregular attendance and lack
of punctuaIlity has been a great de-
triment TO students and teachers,
and we urge that this subject re-
ceive due consideration and cogniz-
ance. Special instructions have
been given to the ladies' and gentle
mems 5i-weekly alternating with
testimony meetings. These have
been directed and adapted particu-
larry to the welfare and guidance Of
the students through life.
Regular fast meetings have been
held monthly, instead OF theology
lessons, and we can conscientiously
report good results. Faculty meet
ings have been held weekly for the
purpose OF reporting and consider
ing points of interest to the school.
The past fourteen weeks have been
an enjoyable time to the teachers,
due to the alacrity O. students
20 make the class rooms a Sec
ond home. the careful considers
ton they have had foz the, feelings
of the teachers and their fellow
schOolmates and the congeniality of

mark chat we have been recipients
of Gods blessings aad that His
Holy Spirit has been our guide.r II
is with considerable gratitude that
we recognize the labors and hearty
support Of our worthy Board aud
their ready compliance to the re-
quests of the teachers for the COM
fort and welfare of the students,
also thank parents who have patron
lied our school and all who nave ex-
tended n helping hand. Notwith-
standing the infancy Of our school
ami its limited curriculum, we feel
safe in sayin.. that it offers excel
lent opportunities ami privileges
and exceptional promise TO those
who need n special training to fit
them to proseciite advanced york in
higher institutions. We invite
jealous and unrencitting labor and
by Gods blessing believe that the

Seminary will prove a benefactor TO
the youth of Zion.

Taught the Dog to Steal.

Contracting Agent Smith, of the Omaha
Railroad, claims to have discovered the
plan by which gang of boy paper thieves
have been so successfully operating in up
per town. Annoyed by the repeated loss
of his Pioneer Press, which the carrier
was accustomed to leave on the doorstep
of his residence on Walnut street, Mr..
Smith recently arose in time to get the
paper when the carrier arrived. He
marked it on the inside with blue pen
oil: "This paper was stolen from -"
left in the usual place on the step and
went back into the house to await the APP
proach of the thief. Ten minutes later,
having heard no sound of any one APP
preaching, he looked out and was dumb
founded to find the paper missing. He
laid'a similar trap the next morning, and
sat in the parlor window to watch. The
carrier had not been gone two minutes
before big Newfoundland dog trotted
into his dooryard, took the paper in his
mouth and ran off. The gentleman fol-
lowed the dog around the corner and saw
three boys meet the animal there, take
the paper, and direct the dog to another
dooryard After collecting the papers
the boys took them home to their mother.
had the ereases ironed out, and sold them

MOnkey-Faced Owls.

David H. Ward, of Client, has been
exhibiting four monkey faced owls that
are wonderful curiosities. Mr.. Ward
caught them in the beech woods on Wal
ton Graig's farm, below Client, January
l, and the specimens are marvel to all
OF the ornithologists of this section, The
bird is about the size of barn owl, and
appears to be an admixtyre of monkey,
owl and parrot. 1t has the face of mon
key, with large blacl, eyes, and sees as
well during the day as the night. Its
beak is like a parrots, and its feathers
and down are like sparrow-hawk's, only
softer and finer, with little black spots
resting on the top of the feathers. The
body is like that of an owl, and alto
gether its identity is a complete puzzle
to every one. 1t gives vent to scream
resembling that of panther, and can be
heard for two miles. 1t was their scream
ing at night that attracted Mr.. Ward,
and he thought it was wild animal.
On watching he traced the noise to an
old sycamore tree at the head of Craig's
beech woods, and found two old birds
with three young full-hedged birds. He
killed one of the old ones and broke a
wing of the other by shot, and then
had tough fight to capture the young
ones. When disturbed they gave vent to
a blowing noise like the Kissing of an
old goose. There is only one bird that
we ever heard of that answersi its descrip-
ton, and that is combination of buzz
zard, owl, panther and devil, that is
found in the swamps Of Arkansas, and is
known by the euphonious title of "Dry
Skull" Its blood curdling screams can
be heard for miles, and would cause the
hair on an ordinary mans head to lift
his hat off with its rigidity. No specimen
was ever caught, and it is rare bird.
Mr. Ward has been offered $500 for his
''pets." He exhibited them here yester-
day, and left for points up the river for
the same purpose. He intends showing
them at the Cincinnati Geological Gar
dens, where they have never seen any
thing like them. Mr.. Ward shot the old
birds at night by moonlight, and caught
the young ones next morning - Warsa'c

Stockings and Shoes.

The best fitting shoes that one can
procure will fail to preserve the feet in
healthy condition without healthful
stockings. The panied feet often seek
relief in thinner stockings, regardless of
seasons or weather This practice in
winter is to be deprecated, except in the
house, where an equable temperature is
maintained. The change, even tempo
rarily, from wooden to cotton is still
more dangerous to health. Better put
on larger shoes than take this risk
Caution should be used in choice of
colors, in order to avoid blood poison
ing.
The best quality of hose, dyed in the
thread, are not apt to part with their
colors on the feet. In the cheap grades,
neutral tints are safest, such as the
grays. Reds, greens and puppies had
better be eschewed. A safe plan, with all
the cheap grades of socks, is to have
them thoroughly washed before wearing
them at all.
In hygienic sense, shoes are more
perfectly adapted to the wants of the feet
than leg boots There are occasions and
situations in which the latter are pre-
ferable, but as leather is SO nearly non
porous as to permit of but limited es-
cape of moisture, the smaller the area of
the body covered by it, the better it is
for the person. For persons who walk
much on paved streets, the shoe is the
thing. and Leather Reporter.
