Perhaps the bird that will prove of the most
interest is the Barn owl. or as he is often
called the Monkey-faced owl. considered by
many as quite rare, and over whose capture a
big fuss is made every little while. In point of
fact they are rather common, breeding regu-
larry in the north tower of the Smithsonian In
stitution aud over the District Jail. Occasionally
one Is killed on the flats, and rarely, yery

gain access to either of the above mentioned
places he would be pretty certain of securing a

THE UNIVERSAL INTEREST THAT HAS
u everywhere attached itself TO nocturnal
birds Of pray. making them at once objects OF
curiosity rs well an acquisition to home decora-
tions, is the excuse for . short description OF
the several species Of owls found within the
District.
OF the many different kinds Of owls inhabit-
ing the United States eight are found at various
seasons Of the year within the District OF CO.
lumbia. These are the Screech. the Long and
short-eared, the Barred. Great Horned. Barn,
Acadian and Snowy, named in the order OF their
relative abundance. Five Of these are perma-
nant residents, aud rear their young within
sight Of the dome Of the Capitol; the remaining
three are with US only during the winter
months, one Of which, the Snowy, visits Us but
seldom, although numbers have been taken.
Like most birds each species has particular
kind Of country which it loves to frequent. and
o little insight into the general habits of the
birds, and OF each in particular, Will enable
nearly any one TO discover one or more species

NOT As BLIND ~ SUPPOSED.
To begin with, the universal opinion that
owls cannot see in the daytime is entirely err
roneous I admit that they can see best at
night, but to test their powers Of vision in the
face of Old Soils RAYS one has bat to attempt
TO secure Great Horned owl by even the stealth

From the Bangor Commercial.
An Old Orchard hotel man, who is satis6sd
that he is quite sport and always bets on The
races, was alta trot at the S~eo Park the other
day. While the horses were scoring he suddeniy
heard gentleman behind him remark to his
companion: "Tll bet a dollar with any man
that that horse now going Twill come in ahead
first in this heat!" The hotel proprietor had
his own idea that the horse in question could
not trot little Bit and 50 he seized at the bait
like small boy after n piece Of pie The
terms Of the bet we're repeated and the money
was placed in the hands Of another party. When
the heat was over the horse had come in way
behind the Others and the hotel rlan imagined
that he had won dollar easily. Imagine his
surprise when the other gentleman calmly re-
marked, a. he pocketed the stakes, 1T he had
come in tail first. or had fallen and broken ~

came in head first, just ~ bet he would, thS
