OWL HOUSES WITHOUT LINING
One Peculiarly of Bird That Looks
to &c the Wisest of the Feath-
cred Tribe.

Owls houses are for the most part
quite without lining. Whether from
design or pure laziness, the bones and
skulls of small animals which they
have killed are left scattered about
the floor. Grewsome playthings for
the owl children! But one can scarce
ly imagine even a baby owl being
anything but wise and dignifed. It is
easier to picture 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
expect some of their near relatives,
the hawks, to be inclined to live in
the same way One of them. the lit

ORIGINATED IN ARMY RANKS
Expression That Spread Far Had Its
Inception in the Mess Room
Of Officers.

Capt. Henry G. Lyon. u s. A.. was
about making noise Ike" this or
that. At Peekskill. In 1906. he gave
instruction to officers of the New
York National Guard doing duty in
that tour of camp. The first day he
formed the officers into class In the
big mess hall, which was open at the
sides, so that all that went on inside
was seen and heard by the enlisted
men passing back and forth. In teach
ing the officers how to give commands.
Capt. Lyon impressed upon the class
the necessity of clear enunciation
and of making commands like an of
ficer. says Arms" not Jumps" etc.
The privates' capacity for turning
things to their own amusement was
shown a few minutes after that first
class was dismissed, for officers going
through their company streets heard
privates in front of a group of men
shouting out: Make noise like an
officer" whereupon the entire "class"
would roar Jumps" reporter sent
an account to a New York paper, and
from this grew the expressions such
as Make a noise like hoop and roll
away" etc. However, it is seldom one
hears the. words arms" or march,"
the voice finding it much easier to
slur the word till it may mean any
thing. and as the preparatory com
mand indicates what is to be done the
command following is merely a sig
nal for the execution of what has al
ready been specified.

Foundation Sheets.

ton, and there is no need of a bee
space over the top bar when my plan
is followed.
l bore six three-eighth-inch holes
through the top bars, as shown in the
illustration. These holes should be a
little nearer the lower edge of the top
bar than the upper edge. There should
be saw-cut in the lower edge of the
top bar deep enough to extend half
way through the holes, as shown.
Then when the foundation is slipped
into this saw-kerf it may be quickly
fastened by punching a round piece of
wood or metal into all of the holes,
giving it twisting motion to fold over
the edge Of that part of the foundation
extending into the hole.

Bee Sense.

CASTOR BONNER affirms that the
ability of bees to fly straight to their
hives from a distance as great as two
miles is not due, as some have be.
lieved, to either sight or smell, but 10
a special sense of direction possessed
by bees. Mons. BONNER bases his be-
lief in the existence of this strange
sense, which would be extremely use
full to man also, on series of expert
ments with homing bees. He does not
know in what organ the sense is To-
Gated, but he says that, at any rate, II

ENGLAND'S KING is
SEEKING NEW HOME

London.-Immediatel the political
crisis over. the King, who has aged
considerably in the past few weeks
Will settle the vexed question Of a
royal residence.
The first question Is suitable
home for the young Prince of Wales
1t was stated yesterday that Clare
mont, a beautiful residence near Es-
her, occupied for many years by the
Duchess of Albany, will be handed
over to the heir-apparent, but this is
unlikely. as by her marriage settle
ment 1t belongs to the Duchess of
Fife. 1t is more probable that Frog
more. an unpretentious country
house in Windsor Park, will be set
tied on the Prince. 1t was at Frog
more that the Prince spent a happy
childhood, and all the royal children
are devoted to the place.
Meanwhile the King is looking for
large country estate for himself, as
York cottage, near Sandringham, is
altogether too small for the sover-
eign. The late King Edward used
York cottage as an annex for over
flow guests and although it has been
enlarged, it is still a comparatively
small house.
1t is an open secret that the King
does not wish to leave Norfolk be-
cause of its good shooting, and his
agents are already inquiring in that
neighborhood.
Queen Alexandra will occupy San
dringham house during her lifetime,
and King George would like to be
near his mother. For the first time
since his accession, the King has WIS.,
tied an American hostess and in fu-
ture Americans will do we'll to observe
the fact that the best bait for the new
King is splendid shooting. The hos
tess honored during the week is Cora,
daughter of Strafford, formerly Mrs.
Samuel Colgate, whose present hus-
band, Mr., Kennard is a great sports
man.
The plain fact is that Queen Alex
andra will not attend the coronation
at all and as matters stand. It is ex-
tremely doubtful-despite her desire
to keep herself before the populace-
whether she will even appear in the
procession

culprit Laureano Lopez, a municipal
officer of Banjo, whom he delivered

PAID DEBT TO APPEAsE GHOST
Woman's Superstition Made Her Prey

Dublin.-An amazing story of an
| old woman's superstition came before
Judge Drummond at Bailleborough,
| Cavan, in the course of an action
brought by Anne Brady against far
mer named Connell. The plaintiff
said that in June last the defendant
told her that the ghost of her brother
who had been dead &c years was
haunting him because he forgot to pay
defendant 7Os he owed him. The wit
ness was frightened and paid the
money which the defendant swore
was due. Her reason for giving the
defendant the money, was that the
ghost frightened her. She was over
20 years old.
The defendant said he, after Paul
died, walked nine miles to see if he
could get an opportunity to pay the
debt, but ne wasn't given a chance
He denied having said anything about
the ghost.
His honor, giving judgmnt for the
plaintiff declared that he firmly be-
lieved her story.
