Owls.

All owls are birds of prey, and ac-
cording to their size and strength
they hunt and kill all name of
creatures, from beetles and grass
hoppers to grouse, Canadian hares
and skunks. They capture and kill
their prey with their feet, and tear
it to pieces with their strong hooked
bills. With the flesh of their victims
they eat more or less of the fur,
feathers and bones, and afterwards
eject these indigestible parts from
the mouth in the form of pellets.
In size the American owls vary
greatly, the giant great gray owl of
the North measuring sometimes
thirty inches from the tip of its bill
to the tip of it's tail, while the tiny
elf-fOwl of southern California.
southern Texas and Mexico measures
often but five and one-half inches.
Most owls prefer the night and tn,
woods for their hunting excursions
and the few species which are tho
exception prove the rule. They ar
all strange-looi ing birds, but tn,
strangest of them ali is the barn-owl
or mOnkey-faced owl, as some people
call it. This weird bird, which is
found at least occasionally in almost
all parts Of the United States, has
a faculty of hiding SO ~skilfully in
the old wells, deserted mine-shafts
bell-towers and hollow trees, in which
it makes it's home, that it is very sell
dom seen. The capture of a specimen
often creates a stir in the neighbOr-
hood, many people regarding the cap
tive as half bird and half monkey.
Only a few weeks ago | saw a barn
owl described in one of the monthly
magazines as a "freak of Nature"
It's unbird-like appearance is ac-
counted for largely by the c%onspicu-
Gus facial disk, which is very light
colored, heart-shaped, and beset with
black, almost human Eyes and a
down-turned. noselike bill. Almost
all the owls are beneficial to the
farmer, but this one is more SO than
most of the others, preying chiefly O.

and cotton-rats.-March Woman's

 It was in that spirit that Superinterd- ent William H. Maxwell, of New York, instead of working to keep expenses down. publicly advocated highest wages for teachers as workers of the highest necessity. It was in that spirit that President Eliot, in Educational Reform, claimed absolute security of salary for each individual once permitted to the permanent service" That spirit is abroad in the land. It took possession of the conservative educational com- mittee Of the National Educational as sociation when in July last, it appoint ed a committee of seven experts. head ed by Carroll D. Wright. and including Catherine Goggin, a Chicago teacher to investigate and report upon the con- ditions of teachers in the United States: appropriating s3OOO for that purpose.

The Pay of School Teachers.

The teachers of the Phoenix high school properly feel that they are the victims of an injustice. in that. on ac- count of bad management by tho authorities there are no funds avail able for monthly salaries. But the teachers should be glad that their sit uation Is no worse. What if they had to work for the small salaries paid nearly everywhere else-in Arkansas or Iowa. or Missouri. for instancep Arizona pays about the highest scale in the whole country.
 The average yearly salaries of the 4SO.Oo0 teachers in the public schools ot the United States is about s296. ac- cording to the Boston Transcript. which has been analysing the census returns. The average salaries of men teachers is less than $322: of women teachers. less than s27O. In Arizona these figures are more than doubled.
 It has been we'll said that the aver age yearly salary of the woman teacher in the United States would not keep a carriage horse,in Chicago. Iowa pays its teachers on an average, men, $296.0S:

women, $251.6O. In many instances the janitor of school has larger pay than the principal. TheChicago Record Her aid commenting on this says: There is scarcely a mechanic in Iowa that is not better paid, and if such salaries as are given teachers in Iowa should be Of fered any class of workingmen there would be an immediate strike The hour may strike but not the teachers. Nine-tenths of them are women ana they know a better way. They have been engaged in the big thinking that precedes action. They are now organ izing and developing leaders. In the industrial war they will have a part, but it will be a bloodless one. Their victories will be of the nature of Helen L. GrenfeI's in Colorado, who, by her efficiency has greatly increased the revenue from school lands; of Mar garet A. Haley's in Chicago, who has brought into the city treasury S1,OOO, 900 a year in taxes otherwise going by default .i+
 Back of these leaders stand the teach CTS of the common schools, rousing at last to their needs and opportunities. Their method of reform will be cOn- Istructive, not destructive The Chi cago Teachers Federation bulletin has stated it thus: Teaches need to dem onstrate clearly to the satisfaction of the pubic the value of their services, prove they are underpaid and the pub lie will as inevitably respond. Nor will it ever be necessary or desirable for the teachers to use the miners weapon, the strike, to accomplish their purpose"
 These are sane words and meet the approval of the thoughtful. It was in their spirit and temper that 500 New York teachers memorialized the Ma tional Educational association. asking it to make a national canvass of the condition of teachers, to investigate thoroughly and to publish widely con- ditions now obtaining as to salaries. tenure of position. pensions and cost of living. It was in that spirit that Mrs. Ella F. Young, a woman with a per sonal grievance. holding a position of equality with men, urged co-opera tion of all educational forces in meeting the urgent salary issue. It was in tha, spirit that MT. McAndrews, the we'll paid principal of a New York city school said; "The rank and file of teachers in the United States at this moment need to be put in better phys ical condition in order to elevate the work of teaching.

HOW A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ESCAPED
 SPRING CATARRH BY USE OF PE-RU-NA

 Spring Fever is Spring Catarrh.

itor of Erie county, New York, Hcus John W. Neff, in recent letter written at Buffalo, New York, stated: "I was persuaded by friend to try bottle or your gr at nerve tonic, Peruna, and the results were so gratifying that am more than pleased to recommend it." A Spring Tonic.
 Almost everybody needs tonic in the spring. Something to brace the nerves, invigorate the brain and cleanse the blood. That Peruna will do this is be- yond all question. Everyone who has tried it has had the same experience as Mrs. D. W. Timberlake, of Lynchburg, Va., who, in recent letter, made use of the following words: CT always take 8 dose of Peruna after business hours, as it is a great thing for the nerves. There is no better spring tonic, and l have used about all of them."
 Cafarrh in Spring.
 The spring is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The system is rejuvenated by spring weather. This renders medicines more effective. A short course of Pe- runa, assisted by the balmy air of spring, will cure old, stubborn cases of catarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have copy of Dr. Hartman's latest book on catarrh. Ad- dress The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Colum- bus, Ohio.
