ALWAYS THE BEST.

On every steamer Camarinos receives
fresh goods from the Coast. His facili-
ties at the Coast for securing the best
on the market cannot be eXcelled. AS
for Hawaiian fruits and vegetables, he
is fortunate in having a plantation of
his own. When you cannot get what
you wish in fruits and vegetables at
Camarinos', King street, it is safe to
conclude that it cannot be found in the
city.

Early in April of last year the can.
am OF the steamer Roseada, plying on
The Kissimmee River, Florida, re.
ported the discovery of a white OWLS
nest, which was in q hole of a leaning
dead cabbage palm, overhanging the
river. Twice a week on his trip up
and down he watched the growth OF
the birds until he considered them
old enough to move. He then trans
TERED them from the nest to a box un-
der serious protests from the parent
birds. The birds proved to be speci-
mems OF the barn owl, and great was
the surprise to see three owls of diff
terent sizes and evidently considerable
difference in their ages. From inquiry
it was learned that these birds, after
Matching the first egg, lay another,
whose Matching is left to be done by
the young bird while it feathers,
thus explaining why the birds in the
different stages of development were
found in the same nest, and explain
ing. too, the responsibility that the
older bird seemed to have over the
younger ones-much as an older child
watches over tie younger ones of a

giving him a vicious expression. The
baby of the nest was scarcely half the
size Of the oldest bird, had a sharp,
narrow and long face, with a weakened
nonkey-like expression, but he was
snow white, looking like a ball of
wool. He cuddled under the larger
birds, and at feeding time was the
most ravenous eater of the crowd. ALI
day long these three wise little owls
quietly tsat, making no sound ex-
cept when approached, when a sharp
swapping of their beaks announced
that they wished no intruders. TO
turn them out of their box in daytime
meant a quick return to it. They
were turned out n day for q visitor
to admire, and the box removed, when
they quietly sought refuge under the
folds of her dress skirt. At night
they were in their element when
loose. They walked around,
tapped their wings, would come up
and take food from the hand, and
drink water from q spoon placed be-
tween their beaks with as much ease
as a person possibly could. AZ

would return to the box, and there sit

The Feminine Of "Burol.r.r

The habit Of adding less" to form the
feminine, rs in peetess, autheress and
similar words, Is not in accordance
with the best English usage. The same
plan Of manufacturing a feminine
would give us burglaress, writeress
and clerkess. In several other Ian
guages the feminine is easily and nat
urally made according to certain def
mite rules, but the English language is
% variable and changes so much from
age to age, in accordance with the needs
OF the people speaking it, that while
these manufactured feminines cannot
be pronounced incorrect, since they are
in extensive employment-and in these
matters usage makes right-they are
hardly in accord with good taste as H.
