GOOD FISHERS AND HUNTERS
Both the Horned and Barred Owls De-
strOy Much Small Came.


"The Sullivan county man who as
serted recently that the horned owl
catches fish," said one who had spent
great deal Of time in the woods and
has been a close observer, to a New
York Sun reporter, sis quite right
aboutit. The horned owl is "a hunter
as well, and he fishes and he hunts by
days as well as by night.
"He is no better fisher or hunter
than the barred owl, who also is
abroad when the popular supposition
is that he is either asleep or blinking
blindly on hisroost. l haveseen both
the horned owl and the barred owl
chase and capture quail and grousein
broad daylight, and once shot barred
owl on the wing as il came noiselessly
sailing along the edge ofan elder copse
where ] was watching for mink that
had despoiled my hen coop. When l
picked the owl up found large
brook sucker in its claws.
cone late fall day I flushed a covey
Of quail in a field that bordered
deep wood, and instantly out of that
wood horned owl came Ikea winged
specter, and seized quail in each claw
as the covey dashed away across the
field. These two owls destroy a great
quantity Of small game.
"The horned owl is an uncanny
creature TO come suddenly upon in the
woods. He glides along with the
speed Of the wind, and has the start
ling faculty Of dropping instantly and
stopping. whether on prey ornot. His
favorite perch when stopping thus in
his swift flight is on stump or dead
limb, where he will stare st you with
his great eyes, beckon you with his
head, and even with his long, white,
noiseless wings. In the south they
call him the specter owl, and the SUI
perstitious darkeys believe his beckon-
oning means death in the family Of
the one he beckons.
'"There is satisfaction in knowing
that as the large timber growth dis
appears in any locality these owls dis
appear with it, for they must have the
depth and solitude Of the woods to
! live i'm"

The abuse of that delicate organ,
che eye, IS prevalent sin of this
coCutry. The Germans had WISE
saying, "Touch not the eye except
with your elbow. That is equiva-
Ieut to saying don t touch your eye
at all Still further caution in ref
ereuce to the eve is illustrated il
the experience Of those negligent
persons who grope through life
straining and running the sight in
stead of consulting upon the first
sign OF weakness, squirting or wat
eCiug. Another fatal mistake is
made by cllnging too long to a tav-
0rite pair Of glasses that may have
once suited the conditions Of sight
and opened a new view of the world
aud things presen, but alas the
days have sped by and age has so
changed the retina as to render the
glasses worse than useless. Prop
erjy adjusted glasses will most GER
tajnly preserve the eye while any
other kind Of glasses will be worse
than none at all.
