Girls Battle With an Owl.

Miss Maggie Mexican. of West

unpleasant experience a few nights
ago About l o'clock she was awak.

A repetition OF the weird noise
thoroughly alarmed the girl and she
raised her head and looked about for
its origin. At the foot of her bed she
beheld two glowing eyes that gazed
In her direction with such awe-inspir-
Ing intensity that she screamed aloud
In terror. A moment later she was
attacked by huge owl. which must

What to Drink.

The best beverage is water. fresh
from a spring or well not contaminat-
ed by sewage. Natural mineral water
should be substituted when the COM
mon water ohtainable is of doubtful
purity. After water. says a medical
man. consider these beverages. when
taken i'm moderation. as the most
wholesome for adults: Light. pure,
natural wine. containing not over IL
per cent. of alcohol: seasoned spirits.
distilled from cereals or grapes and d.
iuted with water: coffee from good
berries. freshly roasted and freshly
ground: pure beer made of barley,
hops aud water containing not over
per cent OF alcohol. In regard to
alcohol. there can be only the one
opinion-that persons should abstain
from II who are too weak to restrain
their appetite. Two-thirds of our ply
sicians have testified that a temperate
use OF spirits is more apt to improve
than injure the health.
