ARlzoNA scREEcH OWLS.
predatory Birds Run Out Squirrels
Chipmunks and Woodpeekers
to Find Homes.

In Arizona The owls live mostly
In holes in the ground, andin holes
IN the giant cactus. 1t would be
eORtrary to their predatory ma
ture to dig their own holes, or yet
TO build nests of sticks while there
were other available nesting
places. So every springtime
there is a lot of trouble among the
desert chipmunks and ground
squirrels until the burrowing
owls have chosen their holes
and settled down for the
season, says Country Life in
America. Similarly the ella
woodpeckers and gilded fickers
have no assurance that their holes
In the sahuaras are their own un-
I'll after the screech owls and pyg-
my owls have been established in
comfort. Possession is all the law
there is in the Arizona cactus and
desert, and in case Of a dispute
the owls eat little chipmunks and
dickers, anyway.
All day, in the cool depths of his
hole, the screech owl hides from
the heat and glare. AS the sun
sinks he comes out and fits silent
" toward the river bottom, where
the mice and kangaroo rats are al
ready beginning to play on the
sand patches and to hustle
through the willows and arrow
weed thickets. The quail and
smaller birds are hid away in the
bushes, and around the old logs
and stumps great yellow scorpi-
ons and beetles are picking their
way. At the slightest movement
Of a blade of grass the screech
owl swoops to the ground, and
when he is not ranging the flats
for mammals he is searching
punches of mistletoe and dense
mesquite trees for the birds which
lie hidden there.
He does not scOrn the scorpion
and beetles, nor yet grasshoppers
and smaller bugs. At the same
time he will tackle a bush rabbit
or twitch a pocket gopher from
his hole by the head. He swallows
his prey whole, and after diges-
ton has taken place throws upthe
bones and fur in the shape of pei
let's. 1t is by looking for pellets
beneath woodpeckers holes in cot
tonwoOds and sahuaras that nat
uralists are able to locate the
homes of these owls.

All in his great black armor, the

ceiyed a maiden in distress upon
the back of a fiery dragon.
He essayed a knightly dash to
rescue her.
Ohug!
That is how it sounded. Any

The sergeant demanded;
"What we're We after dom?

The oLp.TlME Blackboard.
Healihful Exercise Now Takes the
Place of the Brace Form
erly in Use.

The world has moved rapidly in
a hundred years in the matter of
physical training for girls. Thack-
cray tells us, says Youths Com
panion, that when the nineteenth
century was in its teens, the excel
lent Miss PinkertOn, of the Acad-
envy for Young Ladies on CHS
wick Mall, gave parting aid
vice to her favorite pupil the in
junction that she should make a
careful and unremitting use ofthe
blackboard for four hours daily for
the succeeding three years, if she
would acquire that dignifed de-
pertinent and carriage so requi-
site for every young lady Of fash
ion.
The blackboard has gone out, and
perhaps the dignifed department
and carriage have gone with it.
One hardly dares think how the
majestic Miss Pinkerton would
have regarded the present regime
in school for girls.
The painful repOse of the back
board has been succeeded by a
complicated system of exercise.
There is a long daily walk. There
are gymnastics for Is minutes
once a day, Swimming in sum
mer and skating in winter harden
the muscles and teach endurance.
Golf'or basketball or tennis adds
the charm of competition and the
value of self-control to the deyel-
opment of muscle and nerve. The
girl who tiptoes about in high
heeled shoes, and whose corset
prevents her from running or
jumping or breathing deep and
full is to-day out of fashion.
1t remains to be proved that
athletics may go hand in hand
with gracious and gentle manners
-as the blackboard undoubtedly
did. But there seems to be no in
herent conflict between yigor and
grace, and the twentieth century
may contriye ways to unite them
in its strong, healthy young girl
hood.

Remarkable Roman FESTIVAL.

The ancient Roman amphithea-
ter Of Aries recently witnessed a
strange festival, quite PrOyencal
and half Pagan. Mistral, the poet
of Provence, lamenting the grad
nal disappearance Of the pictur-
esque feminine costume Of the re-
gion before irresistible Paris
fashions" has succeeded in organ,
ling a provincial movement for
its preservation. This was pub
licly launched at a Fmaidens' fes-
tival,' in which Mistral himself, as
"emperor of Provence publicly
embraced every Provincial maid
who, having completed her IS
years, had first signed a "yow"
never to discard the traditional
dress Of her ancestors for ne w-fah-
gled notions from the capital
London Mail.

An Honorable Retreat,

Mention OF Bismarck recalls story
he used to tell of an incident which
his grandfather witnessed when serv-
ing under Frederick the Great. It af-
fords good reading in the present time
in view of mistakes and rumors Of
mistakes, degradations, and equivocal
promotions, of which tales come
through from st. Petersburg. During
some maneuvers an ensign made a
mistake, and the old king, in flaming
passion, pursued him with stick, in
tending to publicly chastise him. The
ensign lit out for all he was worth and
nimbly leaped ditch which the king
could not negotiate, but was left fun
ing on the wrong side: Later the COL
onel Of the regiment reported to the
king that the ensign had rendered his
resignation. II am sorry, sire, for he
is q really fine soldier" said the COL
onel. "Send him to me-" replied Fred
erick. The ensign came in, expecting
to be beaten or perhaps sent to prison.

king. II meant to give it you this
morning, but you ran so id hard I
could not catch you."-St. James Ga
