The Barn Owl.

How soft is the plumage of the owl,
and how noiseless her fight. Watch her
as she floats past the ivy tod. down by
the ricks and silently over the old wood;
then away over the meadows, through
the open door and out Of the loophole OF
the barn; round the lchened tower and
along the course of the brook. Presently
she returns to her four downy young
with a mouse in one claw and a vole in
the other, 0 to be ripped up, torn and
eaten by the greedy, swapping imps.
Young and eggs are not unfrequently
found in the same nest.
If you would see the midday siesta OF
these birds climb up into the haymow.
There, in an angle of the beam, yen viii
see their owlships snoring and blinking
wide their great round eyes. Their duet
is the most ~unearthly, ridiculous, grave
noise conceivable; unlike anything you
ever heard. There they will stay all day,
digesting the mice with which they have
gorged themselves until twilight, when
they again issue forth upon their mad
cap reyels.
This clever mouser has a strong claim
to our protection; so let not idle super
stition further its destruction. Man

This Dog Knew a Good Thing.

1t would be quite impossible for anyhv-
ing being, it would seem. to be insensible
to the charms of camp life. One morn
ing when the Listener was in camp, a
queer looking black dog of uncertain race,
but broad between the eyes, like all intelli-
gent dogs, suddenly poppedinto the place,
evidently upon some journey around the
lake. He looked about him in astonish-
ment, and then sat down and looked
again. Then he settled instantly down,
in a sort of glad, grateful way, which
was as much as to say, This is exactly
the sort of place that I've always been
looking for" Not another step did he
stir on the journey.
He adopted the camp from that mo-
ment and everybody in it, Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
he belonged He was a total stranger to
the people who lived on the farm not
far away. He slept in front of the tent
atnight, and barked at any stranger who
came that way, and answered amiably
to the name of Liberty Moses. Nodoubt,
when the camp broke up, he went back
to his more civilized home, wherever it
was, but as long as that charming spot
remained in existence there was no other
place for him.-Boston Transcript.

He Changed the Day.

The story is told of the late Pig Iron"
Kelley that on one occasion a young
woman, the daughter of an old Pennsyl-
vanian, who had been one of Kelley's
political lieutenants. applied to him for
a position, which he promised to secur
for ner the next day. On the following
morning, when the young woman called
on the judge, he had forgotten all abous
her case, but upon being reminded, apo1-
ogized profusely and told her to "call
