From the New York sun.
A member of a publishing house is
telling a story which he says goes to
show that the spread of the popular
novel is constantly increasing. He was
on his way from Pawtucket, r. l., to
East Attleboro, Mass, by trolley and
stopped off at the little village store
at South Attleboro to get a nibble Of
crackers and cheese at noon. The usual
rural characters were about the coun-
ter. He got into conversation with
some of them and was interested to
know how their political ideas ram. He
sounded them along various lines and
at last came to an old farmer who was
sitting on a sugar barrel waiting for
the mail.
Think they're going to make a good

OWLS HOUSES.
From st. Nicholas.


Owls houses are, for the most part,
quite without lining. Whether from de-
sign or pure l~aZiness, the bones and
skulls of small animals which they have
killed are left scattered about the floor.
Grewsome p~laythings for the owl chill
dren! But n IAN scarcely imagine
v q a baby owl being anything but
wise and dignified. 1t is easiest to pic
ture them apparently gravely musing
on these skulls like monks in their
dark cells. @
Since so many Of the owls have their
homes in hollow trees, we might ex-
pect some of their near relatives, the
hawks, to be inclined to live in the
same way. One of them, the little SPAR
Erow hawk, does nest in the fiicker's
abandoned home and in comfortable
knot-holes. Once I found him quar-
tered snugly in a branch which had
decayed at the end where part had
been broken off. This bird, too, is Salts
fed with perfectly bare walls and
floor, though the foo consists OF small
chips left by the decaying wood left
by some WOodpecker.
