Stuffed Owls Fashionable.

Stuffed owls are still fashionable for
decorative purposes, and the taxidermists
still charge high prices for them. Among
the most costly are specimens of the
great white owl, which is really apretty
bird. Ex-Assemblyman William Vain
right gives me information which leads
me to think that specimens of this kind
should become cheaper. "Some time
ago, "he says, "central Rockaway Beach
was visited by an immense flock of great
white owls. Scores of them have been
shot and sold to New York taxidermists.
These birds were never known to visit
the beach before, and it is a mystery
where they came from and how they came
to alight on the Rockaway sands. -

THE sKIRM1sH AT BELFAST.
Griffith Alton felt small hand press

his betrothed at his side. Her face was
de .thly pale and she was trembling vio-

The SONG OF THE SEA.

Dark the storm clouds lowered
Der the tossing, restless sea,
And the troubled waterO strangely
Whispered peace and rest to mo.
For my heart was wildly throbbing,
And my life was full of grief,
And the music Of rolling waters
Seemed to bring me sweet relief.
Seemed to bring me consolation,
Seemed to tell me DER and Ger again
That mine was @ common solTow,
That trouble was the lot OF men.
And 30 my heart was comtorted
By this moaning song of the sen,
