ycnctinn Cnrnivals of Old.

In the oldcn time the Venetian
carnival lasted six months, and mask
ing was universal habit. 1t has been
said that in the beginning the mask
was token of fraternal condescension
on the part of the rich and noble
toward their interiors. 1t lcvclcd all
ranks, like the grave, though in more
agreeable manner. During carnival
time no one thought of going out OF
doors, except in disguise. The maid
sent on an GRAND must first don her
mask, of which no doubt, her lover, Oh
lovers, had the key. The mother with
child in her arms masked both her
self and the child,

An Ape Which Provides Fuel.

A telegraph operator on the main
line of the Pennsylvania railroad, who
was given IL hidcous ape by a friendly
sea captain, has ut last found very
profitable use for the animal. His
house is near the railroad track, and in
the yard he erected a high pole where
on the brute could disport himself.
Looking ont of his window one day, he
saw train come along, and from the
tender of the engine II perfect volley of
good-sizcd humps of coal flew in the di-
rcction of the ape, who was making
most hidcous grimaces and insulting
gestures for the benefit of the engineer
and fireman. They returned the com
pli,ncnt with showers of the best btu
minous coal The owner of the ape has
since made a shcct-iron shield for his
shelter from the missiles of the train
men, and as at least one hundred and
fifty trains pass the house every day
the operator has had no coal bills this
winter

Owls Eat All Three, Besides Gophers,
Rabbits and Other Pests OF tho Farm.
The little screech owl, well known in
most parts of the country, is indefat-
igable in its work of destroying mice
and insects. 1t may often be seen ut
dusk, lowering about barns and out
buildings, watching for mice or skim
ming along the fields and along hedge
rows in search of grasshoppers, crick-
cts and beetles. NIany birds of this
species have taken mp IL residence in the
cities, having learned TO feed upon what
the Boston Transcript calls that most
destructive nuisance, the English spar
row. In winter rural residents often
notice the tracks CT mice which form
networks IL the snow crossing and re-
crossing, passing in and out of walls
aud staclls--tcnding to show how active
these small rodents are when NEST of
the world sleeps. Occasionally such n
track stops abruptly and, whilc the OBJ
server is trying to read more of the his
tory written in tho snow, his
eyes catch the faint impression
of Il pair of wing-tips near whore
the trail ends, and instantly he is
made aware that tragedy has
been enacted. Scrccch-owls also feed
On chipmunlls, shrcws, moles and occh-
sionnlly bats. During warm spells iii
winter they forage extensively and
store up in their homes quantities of
food as Il provision against Indictment
weather Probably the most important
from an economic point of view among
owls is the barn-owl. It's food is al
most entirely lnadc up of Injurious
mammals. In the west it feeds largely
OIL pouchcd gophcrs, and the stomach
contents of many individuals examined
have revealed little else than the re-
mains of these rodents. To appreciate
properly the services of this owl it
must be remembered that pouchcd
gophcrs are among the most, if not the
most, destructive mammals which in
habit this country. In various other
localities it feeds extensively on the
common rat. Tho Great horned owl,
n.iitfi in the east is persistent in It's at
taells on poultry and game, kills i'm
mcnsc numbers of rabbits in rabbit-in-
tested parts of the west, where it's as

King Hcnry's Minister Had n Passion for

Cardinal Wolscy must have been n
champion among collectors 1t is told
of him that if Quentin Nlatsys had n

to purchase it. If there was curious
clock il was secured for him. His fond
ness for tapestry amounted to Il passion,
according to the Boston Transcript
Trusty agents ransacllcd the continent
TO procure choice sets of arras. new and
old, for the rising palace. If the owner
generally preferred Scriptural subjects,
us became Il prince of the church, he
also collected many hangings wrought
with scenes from classic or medieval
story. Thus, while the walls of one
chamber set forth the history of Samuel
or David or Esther, those of another
glowcd with the labors of Hercules, the
woes of Prium, or the Romantic of the
Rose In the rooms where he received
visitors the tapestries were changed
once Il week. No less than two hun
drcd and eighty beds were pro-
vidcd for strangers, with superb
canopics and curtains of silk or
velvet. There were bcdstcads of ala
DaStcf, quits OF down ana pillow cases
embroidered with silk and gold. The
chairs of state were covered with cloth
OF gold; the tables and cabinets were of
the most costly woods. Much of the
splendid furniture was cmblazoned with
his arms; everywhere was impressed
the cardinals hat. The same magnifi-
ccnce appeared in the decorations and
ornaments of the chapel. But the
forty-four gorgeous copcs Of one suit,
and the rest of the sacerd.otal pomp dis
played there were eclipscd by the mai
esty of Wolscy's secular equipment
The annual expenses of his household
exceeded one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars, an immense sum for those
days. His rctinuc of five hundred per
sons, his kingly stud, his sumptuous
open table arc mentioned in every his
tory. When he rode to and from West

by the Court of Appeals.
a telegram to Colonel Hansbrough, CT
Salon, from enc of the judges of the
court of appeals in Richmond reads:
'Gish vs.. Moomaw handed down
to-day. Former opinion adhered to in
all respects"
This settles for good and all tho title
OF many innocent holders of real estate
in the city of Roanoke. The history of
this int resting case has been repeat
eddy given. The court OF appeals had
already given one decision. A motion
was made by the purchasers of the prop.
erty in question before the Supreme
Court for a rehearing, which was
granted, and upon the rehe airing counsel
for the purchase s, while still contend
ing that by 4 proper construction OF the
will the title was bad in Mr.. and Mrs.
Gish, especially agreed to induce the
court to relieve the purchasers from
the obligations of the performance of
contract, largely OH account OF the
depreciation of the selling prices of real
estate between the date of the contract
and the decision of the court of appeals
The court, adhering to its original
opinion, conclusively determines the
goodness of Mr.. and Mrs. Gish's title
and requires Messrs. Blair, Moomaw
and others to carry out their contract
for the purchase of the land.

Last night Mr.. s. B. WitcheIl, the shoe
maker of Soledad street, died suddenly at
his residence on Zavalla street, from
heart disease.
The deceased was from Great Britain and
for many years run big shoe factory in
Pontypoolin, Wales. In 1881 he cam e
here to join his brothers in the shoe maxi
ing business and they opened a factory
in the store where II. Morris and Brother
now are. They disagreed and two broth
ers went to Kansas City while s. b.
Witchel remained here. Then he
opened the Bee Hise shoe store
on Houston street and failed
Nothing daunted, he went, to work to
secure his lost position and started or
Soledad street as agent. There he did a
fine business. not only as shoemaker but
as dealer In all kinds of furs, skins, and
natural contingencies. He had just be-
gun to make money when period was
put to his existence.
Witchell was peculiar man. Honest
as the day, independent to a fault and YET
genial and considerate to all. He appre
ciated Texas and honored her and in his
death she loses a good and enterprising
son by adoption, is of such men our bes
citizens are made.
