Our Guest. the snowy owls.

Every few years, especially along the
sea coast and the larger rivers and
lakes, there is a wave Of those splendid,
day-hunting rascals-the snowy owls.
They are great fishermen, the only
owls to make this sort of hunting a
practice, and may sometimes be seen
sitting, silent and motion'ess, like a
block of ice, at the edge Of the open
water, waiting for chance to nab an
unsuspecting fish. OF course, this is
not a very paying way to get a living,
and they also catch tield-mice, musk
rats, hares, and even large birds like
quail or grouse. But there are only
two other birds of prey in our country
that habitually eat fish, and one of
these seldom catches its own, prefer

SUMMER CARE OF FURs.


Here Is an Excellent Method for the
Housewife to Use
One of the spring duties most dread
eG by the housewife is the putting
away of winter furs, on account of the
unsatisfactoriness Of so many methods.
The Housekeeper publishes an excellent
and tried method for the care of furs,
which will be widely appreciated. As
spring approaches it is well to be on
the alert against the insidious moth,
as this is the time Of year she deposits
her eggs. IL is the maggot of the moth
and not the little silver-winged insect
with which we are all familiar, which
is so destructive to furs.
To prevent the ravages of this insect,
furs before being put away should be
lightly beaten with thin rattan-care
being taken not to break the hair-and
allowed to hang in the sun for several
hours. They should then be combed
with clean comb, wrapped in news
paper and put in chest lined with tin
CT cedar. Unbleached muslin bags are
good substitute when chests are not
available. The use of camphor is dele
terous, as in the case of the dark furs
sable. for instance-it has decided
tendency to impair the richness of its
coloring, and the darker the sable the
more beautiful and valuable it is. The
printers ink on the newspaper is equal
ly effective as camphor in keeping out
the winged moth and will not in the
least impair the color.
When it is found necessary to clean
the fur before putting it away. the fol
lowing method. culled from a grand
mothers notebook, has been found most
effective:
First, brush with a good, stiff brush.
Have ready a quantity of new bran
which has been thoroughly heated. This
will require constant stirring to prevent
It's scorching. When well heated the
bran should be thoroughly rubbed into
the fur with the hands. This operation
should be repeated two or three times.
The fur should then be taken and eff
fectively brushed until not particle
OF dust remains.
Ermlne and other white furs can be
cleaned in like manner, substituting
flour for the bran, and rubbing against
the trend of the fur. If very much
soiled, the fur should be laid away fol

So ended the story that Robert, right
ly enough, has named THE Trail Of the

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.--"If the abuse OF

Furuseth of San Francisco at meeting

''This question of court injunctions in

fore the working men and women of the

a Sc conception of the meaning of the
word property. The injunction originally
was intended to protect property and the
courts have gradually extended their
jurisdiction until today they regard labor
as property.

He also suggests changes in state

"These state laws" said Mr.. Rus

In various ways to uphold peonage and
other kinds of involuntary servitude
Some of them are vagrancy laws, some
contract labor or employment laws.
some fraudulent pretense or false
promise laws. and there are several
others. Some few of these in ques-
tion, such as absconding debtor laws
labor enticing and board bill laws were
not originally passed to enslave work
men, but in view of the use to which
they are put, need amendment In order
that they cannot be so abused"
