Last week the school children
were Delighted at having an oppOr-
tunity to examine SPLENDID specl-
men of what l., commonly known
as the "American Barn Owl (Strir
Protincola). The bird was loaned
to the school through the kindness
of Mr.. Segura who was fortunate
enough to capture three in de-
serted barn on his plantation at
Segura Station. There are eight
species of the Barn Owl aud this
specie is the only representative OF
that family to be found in America,
aud it is so nocturnal in its habits,
and in the day time so we'll able to
hide from observation, that, though
not rare, is very seldom seen. This
specie is a large, night-flying,
monkey faced, black-eyed, brow
nish owl, will fine mottlings OF
white and black, and no eartufts.
1t has been said to appear like a
closely hooded, tOOthless old women
with a hooked nose. Its food con
sists almost entirely OF mice aud
other small animals. 1t is a
Islander to accuse owls and hawks
of killing chickens for they prefer
to live on mice and other small
game and only attack chickens when
their natural food is rare and they
are driven to 1t by hunger.
In severalcOuutiesl III Pennsylvania
a few years ago bounty was Of
fered hawks and owls, and in short
time the country was over-run with
vermin that the people applied to
the agricultural department at
Washington for help. The depart
ment replied that as long as the
people kept up the bounty on these
birds the department could do moth
ing for them.

other small insects, and yet Ia

the hand and words indicative of
the pleasure experienced at meet

through the times that tried men 5

brave men passed. His lecture

A disordered stomach may canse no
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels
become deranged, the liver and kid
neys congested, causing numerous dis
eases, the most fatal Of which are painless
and therefore the more to be dreaded.
The important thing is to restore the
the stomach and liver to a healthy condi-
