ACKDEN, SACRED CITY OF THE MASTCHOOS
given over to the prisoners. 1t is also
said that during the Chinese war he
bought provisions for his men and fod
der for the horses, paying for them
out Of his own pocket, rather than pill
lage the wretched homes along his line
of march. Charity is such mania
with him that his wife, who is an eX-
tremely economical woman, has of
late years acted as his treasurer and
has given him a small allowance daily.
The field marshal loves a horse, and
when he was military attache of the
Japanese legation in Paris he and a
cabby had a lively miX-up. during
which the Frenchman gained n some
what painful insight into some of the
mysteries Of jiu jitsu as practiced by
an expert. The air was full OF cabby
when several gendarmes interfered
and marched the combatants to a pO-
lice station. There the cabby who had
been nGl;rcating horse was fined $40.
The field marshal is past sixty, and
his face is badly marked by smallpox.
His wife, who is very clever woman,
was educated at Vassar college and is
thoroughly familiar with America.
Mukden, to which Kuropatkin re-
treated, is the holy city Of the Mant-
choOs, the ruling class of the Chinese
empire, and the capita. city OF Man.

the tombs Of the MantchOo emperors,
and the city is to the Mantchoo class Of

Jews or Mecca to the Mohammeda3s.

MONKEY FACED OWLS.
A Queer River Cliff Colony In South
ern California.

n queer NlVPf SOIOny SOutn-
ern California.
On the banks Of the Santa Ana river,
in southern California, Is a queer col
ony. 1t is situated in the cliffs which
rise above the surface Of the river and
has multitude Of inhabitants. In
would not imagine that the cliffs were
inhabited, for the members of the col
ony are fast asleep in the chambers
of the cliffs. But at dusk there Is a
change. At every one of the openings
with which the cliffs are perforated ap-
pears a countenance so human-like in
its expression that the beholder is apt
to imagine that these must be the
faces of the pixies and elves Of whom
he delighted to hear in his childhood
days.
The tiny faces belong to a family
having n name nearly as large as the
individuals are small. 1t is the family
owl. So much do their faces resemble
those of human features that they are
often called the human faced owl. In
the holes of the cliffs they pass their
days and rear their young. At night
they emerge in tiocks and search the
fields for mice, gophers and insects,
upon which they live. This owl does
not boot MS do most owls, but utters
low, chuckling whistle as it flies
about in search Of prey.
Farmers and fruit raisers in southern
California are warm friends of the
bird, for 1t destroys many Of the pests
which annoy them and injure their
crops. The eggs Of the little owl are
white, and five or six form litter
