Fighting Owls.

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 chicken or rabbit
for day or two before eating it..
An old trapper says he has often had
muskrat traps robbed by owls, only
q part of the rat being eaten.
When he finds trap SO disturbed
the trapper leaves the rat where 1t lies
and sets another trap beside 1t. In
all probability the bird will return the
second night, In which case 1t will
be more than likely to be In the trap
when the owner comes next morning.
An owl In a trap will offer to fight,
and If 1t gets a chance. will peck at
its captor or his dog numerically.
A farmer who caught one OF the
birds by setting trap alongside of a
chicken that had been killed, injudi-
ciously reached out to catch 1t BY the
feet. The free foot executed a move.
ment that was entirely beyond the
farmers comprehension, and the next
minute the latter found his wrist
grlpped in set of claws to which the
trap was as nothing. He was obliged
to kill the bird, and then found that
the claws had penetrated to the bone.

Auto Gains In Popularity.

It has been stated that in 1900 there
were registered in Paris about 5000
automobiles. 1t is quite difficult to get
exact figures in the number of ma
chimes being used in this country, as
there are no definite methods OF regis
tration and the vehicles are pretty
widely distributed all over the United
States. A careful estimate puts the
figures at about 5000 motor vehicles
of all types. A great many more than
this have been manufactured, as con-
siderable quantity has been exported,
and many, as yet, have not been placed
on the market.-Review of Reviews.

why THEY TALKED HOPEFULLY
while from the First the Chances Were
All Against the President.

All Against the President.
Only one error. according to tht
Philadelphia Medical Journal. can fair.
ly be charged against the surgeons ant
physicians who cared for President
Mckinley. and that error is simply ons
of prognosis. But, though they un.
doubtedly made prophecies which were
contradicted by the termination of the
case. the Journal both asserts and
strongly argues that this, IL an error
at all. was Infinitely preferable to an
error In the other direction. and is, In.
deed. to be commended as well as jus.
tiled, since It's effect was to add ap.
probably to the patients chances OF
recovery. I'VE take 1t as g well-es-
tablished fact In practice" explains the
Journal, that a hopeful prognosis Is
better than despair in any case and
under any circumstances whatever
There is q real and genuine asset to be
derived from hope, and the individual
who comes in for the biggest share oil
this asset Is the patient. The tristful
or lugubrious doctor who cannot see
some silver lining to the cloud in an
essentially doubtful case should retire.
He Ia not in the psychological mood to
avail himself of all his opportunities"
1t seems to us that these opinions
are sound and reasonable, and they
lend q sort of credulity to a curious
theory which at least few people have
had In mind ever since the president
lied. Tho theory is, In effect. that the
doctors, though thoroughly realizing
The high probability of death from the
very beginning, deliberately put their
own regulations for knowledge and
foresight in peril. and assumed and ex-
pressed a confidence which they did
aot feel in order to gain for their pa
tient such advantage as might come to
him from the confidence and hope not
only of the few friends who were adj
mitted to his room, but of everybody
in the city. in the country, and in the
civilized world. The force of psychical
Influences is recognized nowadays by
others than those who degrade them
into foul superstitions for the sake OF
robbing the ignorant and the weak
minded, and, fanciful as the theory is,
lit explains the otherwise inexplicable
and changes what seemed q gross mis-
take into self-saerifce of the noblest
sort.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Virtues the paint that can make
wrinkles shine.
No man is strong who is unable to
conquer himself
Wise men make mistakes, but only
fools repeat them.
Tact is the skilful and agreeable
method of doing that which is right.
Adversely gives us an excellent op
portunity for ascertaining who are our
friends
Take care, but don't worry. Being
careful is not the same thing as being
anxious.
Poverty is a sad thing; but there
is no man so poor as he who Is poor
in his affections and virtues.
Cheerfulness is one OF the great fac
tors in promoting health. To make
habitual war on depression and low
spirits, which in youth one is apt to
indulge, is one of the things learned
as he gets older. They are noxious
alike to body and mind. and already
partake of the nature Of death.
Life is noble; If TO any 1t is not SO, II
is because they make it otherwise. 1t
is an inestimable privilege to live; II
is greater still to live well. Each one
can start a train OF consequences
for good, that will be as the pebble
cast into the water, which will start
a ripple which will extend to eternity's
shore to bless or to curse man, to
sweeten or to embitter life.
Undoubtedly the after half of life is
the best working time. Beautiful is
youths enthusiasm and grand are its
achievements, but the most solid and
permanent good Is done by the per-
sistent strength and wide experience
of middle life. Contentment rarely
comes till then; not mere resignation,
passive acquiescence In what cannot
be removed, but active contentment.
Character is life. That is the only
abiding fact in this world Of change.
the only permanent fact that remains
to a man when the world is over. You
may be successful in your work, you
may do much for the increase OF man S
comfort and happiness, you may reach
your ambition, you may achieve rep
utation. but will you also gain that
without which all else sinks into in
significance?

The Grave of a suIu Sultan.

"One of the curious spectacles of the

tain about five miles outside the little

that is, there is almost no growth on
it. 1t looks like shaver lawn in the
distance, though, as a matter of fact,
there is grass Of many years growth
upon its slopes, so thick and high that
man can with difficulty make a way
through 1t. On the crest there is one
little tuft of trees. They look like
bushes at distance, though one with
an experienced eye makes allowances.
| once formed one of detail that set
out to reach that mountain top. We
had no reason to make tho trip other
than that 1t looked attractive and hard
to attain. It was half days trip up
the steep slopes, and when we reached
the top we found small grove, with
a solitary grave in the shadow of the
trees. 1t was surrounded by little
line Of rocks, and there were quite
fresh pieces of white cloth hung In
horizontal position above the mound.
These were kept In place by tying
them to tree trunks near by. Natives
had seen us laboring to our high po-
sition, and had followed to see that we
did not desecrate the grave.
From those we learned that 1t was
the grave of the first Sultan of the
Sulus. and that the cloth had been re-
newed regularly since he had been
laid there, as a preventative against
evil spirits. We learned later that
there is scarcely mountain In the
archipelago that does not have its
Sultan's grave. st Louis Globe

Journal. He chose for his text Revela-

of barbarism. He is Just as blood
thirsty now as he was then. The
only difference apparent is that now,
In these days Of civilization. he is a
polished assassin instead of pro-
claimed barbarian" He illustrated
his argument that man is deteriorat-
ing mentally by imploring his hearers
to note the fact that every great man,
from the statesman to the poet, that
the world knows. was being of the
past. He compared the morality OF
past ages to the present In illustrating
his statement that man Is becoming
more and more degraded as the hui
man race lives. 1--WE are living in the

said. Man will grow SO wicked that
