Vlcious1y.

Owls have a habit of dealing with
game they have killed that leads some
observers to think that, like dogs, they
prefer fowls that have not been too
recently slain One of the birds will
often leave a chicken or abbit for a
day or two before eating it. An old
trapper says he has often had musk
rat traps robbed by owls, only part
of the rat being eaten.
When he finds a trap so disturbed the
trapper leaves the rat where it lies and
sets another trap beside it. In all
probability the bird will return the
second night in which case it viii be
more than likely to be in the trap when
the owner comes next morning An
owl in a trap viii offer to fight and ifit
gets a chance will peck at its captor or

birds by setting trap alongside of a
chicken that had been killed, says the

A Large Metropolitan Newspaper
Which Is Helping the Summer
Resorts.

The Brooklyn Eagle several years
ago established a Bureau of Infor-
nation in Brooklyn, where the pub
lie could, free Of charge, secure de
tails of hotels and boarding houses
for the summer. The idea at once
became popular, and branch bureous
were opened in Manhattan and
other cities. Country hotels and
boarding houses by sending to this
Bureau can secure a listing blank,
fill it out and return it and then be
represented free Of cost, and send
their circulars and cards for free
distribution
The Brooklyn Eagle has also been
considered for years the best me
dunn for summer boarders in New
