Prof. G. M. Williams this week
shot a sea gull. It is unusual to

from which he may have an rnob.
structed view of his surroundings.
From this outlook he scans the ground
for some luclsless grasshopper or
cricket, and sometimes flies eighty or
one hundred feet to pick from the
grass-grown ground an insect he had
evidently seen before he left his perch.
But little as we know of birds vi
sion, we know even less of their power
of hearing. There is, however, no
reason to doubt that the latter is not
cutie as acute as the former.
The robin on our lawns may be seen,
with head on one side, listening i'm
tently for the movement of a worm be-
meath the sod, and it is said the wood
cock has the same habit. On one oc-
casion, while seated quietly in the
woods, n barrel-owl lit about fifty
yards away, with his back toward me.
Watching him through my field-glass,
| made the slightest possible sound
with my lips-a man would not have
heard it at distance of twenty feet.
and instantly the bird turned its head
and the great black eyes looked direct
ly at me.
A friend of mine in South Carolina
tells me that mocking. bird which
was resident in his garden at the time
of the earthquake few years ago be-
came a sentinel to his family, warning
them, by sharp, twittering note, of
the approach of each shock several sec
onds before the rumble which preceded
it was audible to human ears.
Instances of this kind give us some
idea of the acuteness of a birds hear
ing, but as yet we have no observa-
tions suitable for the purpose of exact
comparison.-Fra NJ. Chapman, in
Youths Companion.

them to his harness, as you see in the
picture. If you look closely you will
discover the Mexican dollar, and also
Kings Daughters badge which some
one presented to him.
Owney did not tarry long in Wash
ington, but was soon off again with
his new harness. The farther he
went the more checks he had to carry,
and the heavier grew his load. At
last the attachments alone weighed
over two pounds, and poor Owney was
tired of carrying the dangling things
about with him.
A Boston postal clerk saw him and
took pity on him as Mr.. Wanamaller
had done; he carried him home to his
house, and wrote letter to the post
master at Albany, telling him of the
dogs difficulties. Word came back to
take off the harness just as it was, and
forward it to them. This was done,
and the harness with it's attachments
can be seen at any time in the post
office building at Albany, preserved in
a glass case with Owney's picture.
Once in his travels Owney reached
Montreal, and happening to follow the
mail-bags to the post Office, he was
taken possession of and locked up,
while letter was sent to Albany tell
ing the officials there of his where
abouts. A reply came to let him go
and he would take care of himself.
This the Canadian postmaster refused
to do till the cost of feeding and keep
ing him was paid, in all amounting to
two dollars and fifty cents. A collec-
tion was called for among his old
friends, the money forwarded and Ow-
ney released.
Everybody in the postal service in
the United States knows him, and per-
haps the next time he visits Canada
he will not be stranger.-M. 1. Inger.

A CONSULTATION.

the little peep" bird came out of the
box Judy prepared for a spring and
when the cuckoo came out she leaped
up on the stand where the box sat and
seized the bird by it's throat. The
whole thing-boX, birds and all fell
on poor Billilkins, and the more he
tried to get from under them the more
tangled up he became. Judy disap-
peared as soon as trouble began.
The whole house was aroused by the
clatter. Down came the little mis-
tress, and there she found Billilsins
and her pretty new cuckoo clock all
broken to pieces. She was very angry
and she punished Billilsins, while Judy
looked on with amusement. Billikins
thinks now that cats are very deceitful
animals, but he doesn't quarrel with
Judy. 1t seems better to him to live
on peaceable terms with her and to be
very careful not TO give her even a
negative support in her schemes.-N.

They Far Exceed In Keenness Those OF

1t is certain that the keenness of vi
sion in birds far exceeds our own, but
In what degree we cannot precisely es-
innate. We know, however, that a
hawk so high above the earth as to
seem mere speck against the sky
above him can at this distance distin-
guish his prey from its earthly sur
roundings.

great q height that to us they are in

recognize individuals of their own
species feeding, perhaps on some mud
fnt, where, if they are motionless, we
can distinguish them at fifty yards
with difficulty.
Flycatchers launch forth after
gauzy-winged prey we could not detect
and I'have seen jacamars in the gloomy

the air after some tiny insect.

THREE QUEER FRIENDS.
How Cat and an Old Pug Deceived
Young Poodle.

How Cat and an Old Pug Deceived a
Young Poodle.
These are pictures of the pets of a
certain little girl. They are Punch,
the pug dog, Billikins, "the prize-bred
Russian corded black poodle with
pedigree" and Judy, the cat. BillilSins
dwells on terms of friendship with the
others, as you can see by the fact that
he has had his picture taken with each
of them. But sometimes there are
slight Misunderstanding
For instance, one day Billikins was
lyin on the door-mat gnawing on the
backbone of duck when Punch ap-
peared. Punch wanted a bone, too,
but Billikins didn't care to share his,
so Punch wandered off. By and by
there was a dreadful commotion on
the other side of the house, wild
barking and scrambling. Billikins
jumped up and rushed off. He was
afraid something had happened to his
mistress and he wanted to help Punch
defend her.
When he reached the other side of
the house, there was no one there. No
one was hurting his mistress, the
llOuSt WIS SdlC dlltl
peared. After little investigation,
Billillins went back to his mat and his
bone, and there lay Punch gnawing
contentedly at it! The false alarm had
been trick of the willy cid pug to get
that bone.
One Christmas the little mistress re-
ceived curious present which the cat
and the dogs could not understand.
Every now and then, out of a box,
bird would step and say Peep, peep"
Then door would close, another one
would open and another bird would
appear and say Cuckoo" Billikfns
hated the noises and so did Judy, and
the cat planned to kill the birds. Bill
l,ins was glad enough, but he didn't
intend to take an active part in the
matter. He was just going to watch.
Well, in the middle of the night Judy
came and woke Billikins up. Wher

A laughable incident is told of
distinguished Massachusetts clergy
man, who thought he had u point for a
sermon. One day he walked through
the local soap works, and, after hav-
ing had explained to him some Of the
intricacies of saponification, asked the
foreman how he adulterated his goods.
Thinking it was all in jest, the fore
man gave him elaborate explanation
of various mythical ways of substi-
tuting marble for soap. The next
Sunday the soap manufacturer himself
was at church, and had the pleasure Of
listening to wrathful sermon about
adulteration, especially of soap. The
poor man had dreadful time convinc-
ing the minister of his error, and then
it was the minister's turn to feel

These are called arabesque moires,

The new colors are real novelties,
although we think each season must
exhaust color resources But there are
absolutely new shades of green, blue,
yellow and brown. Then there is
Florentine pink, and a color that is
pink and yellow combined which was
originally called punch color. Tea
green and foliage green are both new
colors. All shades of brown are popu-
lar, and the rcd-headed girls wear them
all in one costume, or at least as many
, of them as will harmonize.
The new wooden goods are classed
under the head of novelties, there be-
| ing too many of them for regular
names. If you want hop-saclsing, or
serge, the clerk will show you all the

are the finest and best, as they have a
melange of color which makes their

Owney went to Chicago, Cincinnati
and st. Louis, and they attached
checks to his collar. Then he went on
through Salt Lake City to California
and from there to Mexico. In Mexico
they hung a Mexican dollar on his
neck. From there he came up through
the south, finally reaching Washing
ton. His collar was hanging full of
tags and checks, and poor Owney was
weary of the heavy load about his
neck Postmaster General Wanamaker
saw him and took pity on him. He
carried him out one day and had har-
ness made for him; then he took the
badges from his collar and fastened
