Sparrow Food for the Wise Bird.
The little Scrcech-owl we'll known in
most parts of the country, is indefatig-
able in its work of destroying mice and
insects 1t may often be seen at dusk
lowering about barns and outhouses,
watching for mice. Swimming over
the fields or along Indigenous in search
of Grasshoppers, crickets and beetles.
Many birds Of this species have taken
up residence in the cities having
learned to feed upon that most de-
structive nuisance, the English sparrow.
In winter rural residents often notice
the tracks of mice which form net
works in the snow, crossing and recroSs-
ing, passing in and out of walls and
understanding to show how active
these small rodents are when most of
the world sleeps. Occasionally such a
track stops abruptly, and, while the OBJ
server is trying to read more of the his
tory written in the snow, his eyes catch
the faint impression of a pair of wing
tips near where the trail ends, and in
stanlly he is made aware that a tragedy
has been enacted Screech-owls also
feed on chipmunlSs, shrews, rno1es and
occasionally bats During warm spells
in witer they forage extensively and
store up in their homes quantities Of
food as a provision against Indictment
weather
Probably the most important from an
economic point OF view among owls Is
the barn owl Its food is almost en-
tirely made up of injurious mammals.
In the west it feeds largely on pouched
gophers. 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 pouched gophers
are among the most, if not the most, de-
structive mammals which inhabit this
country. In various other localities it
feeds extensively on the common rat.
The great horned owl, which in the
east is persistent in its attacks on poul-
try and game, kills immense numbers
of rabbits in rabbit infested parts of
the west, where its assistance is inval-
liable to the farmer It is much adj
dicted to eating skunlSs, OF which 1t de-
YOURS great numbers wherever those
animals are common

Teeth of the Negro.

"a q 1aiity which is not inhe rited by
his descendants of the present day
Nowadays the teeth of the negroes do
not seem to be arly good as those
of his white brother. The reason is to
be found in the change of food. The
slaves had plenty to eat. but the food
given them was of the simplest kind.
Pork. meal, potatoes, and such veg
etables they raised themselves,
formed their bill of fare. Now they
eat all sorts of indigestible stuff, out

Their Habits and Instincts in Regard q
ShelteriDS Themselves.
The reluctance with which most hui
man beings face voluntary exposure to
such (vvet) weather will account for our
very limited knowledge of the shifts
and devices by which our wild animals
endeavor to avoid the worst discom forts
which it brings But those who are
bold enough to go forth in all weathers
know by experience that in all but the
most open countries there are generally
to be found some cosey corners to which
the raiu does not penetrate, or which,
even If not dry, are sheltered from the
direct access of the driving drops
Animals, birds especially. while
showing the utmost dislike to endure
the storm, are by no means SO clever in
the of such natural shelters as
might be supposed Hares as a rule,
leave the open country and seek shell
ter in the woods; and stupid as they are
in circumstances new to their experi-
ence, when suddenly chased, or in
considera BILE ingenuity in securing their
comfort They nearly always make a
form near, but not touching, the trunk
of some large tree. Thus, while securing
the shelter of the stem and overhanging
Tim bs, they avoid the water which drains
down to the main column and forms, as
any one may see by looking at the foot
of a large timber rec in a meadow, n
tiny canal ut the fase of the trunk.

a NICdiSh Material.

For the best dresses that women Of
moderate means keep for special occa-
sions there various inexpensive
satin fabrics that wear and look much
better than silks of similar low price
For the present season the satin surahs
are not heavy enough, and real SATIN
is too costly, hence the careful shopper
buys the satin duchess or merveillcrx
because its surface is closely woven in
stead of showing a broad serge-lil<e
twill that cheapens the effect at once
These come in olive aud moss green,
copper red, maroon and golden brown
shades, as we'll as in black. at prices
ranging from eighty cents to one dol
lar and twenty-five cents yard. Black
is first choice just at the moment, and
a skirt of this material now in the
dressna<er's han'!s is made in the still
highly popular enlarged bell shape with
a plated ruche, with rows of jetted
gimp a bove for trimming This one skirt
has, to be worn with it, a stylish coat
of satin brocade with cape-collar and
sleeves of velvet, an Elton jacket of
satin, like the skirt, opening over a
blouse waist trimmed with the ietted
gimp; and n low-cut sleeveless corseiet
bodice of plain black velvet to wear
with guimPes and fancy waists. N. Y.
