Owls Need of Silence.

A good deal has been written, says
Professor Batten in Chambers Jour.
nal, about the feathers of the owl
which enable him to fly with such
muffled flight that he can surprise his
quarry lurking in the grass. 1t has
often occurred to me, however, that
the silence of the OWLS flight may be
to enable the bird itself to hear, rather
than to prevent others from hearing.
In his hunting, the owl is dependent
upon the minute sounds for guidance,
and anyone who has ever flown will
realize that 1t would be impossible to
hear anything at all in the air unless
flight were as noiseless as it is capable
Of being. -

A pit1ful instance of the lack OF
thrift is the case Of a family I know
who are now in dire want. They
never knew what the sting of poverty
was until the father took sick and
had to go to the hospital for long
time. Then suddenly they found
themselves in debt They had always
lived we'll and could always get cred.
it. The father was proud of his fam
lily; he wanted his wife and his chill
dren to dress well. In fact, he spent
everything as went along, and took
no thought, either anxious or other
wise, for the morrow. He had ac-
counts at many big stores and things
were alright as long as he was in
good health but after he was taken
i'll the family found themselves in
serious trouble. There were no re
serves to pay the surgeons or the
hospital bills. All the children had
to be taken out of school and the
mother and the Oldest had to go to
work, all because neither father or
mother had thought of laying by any
thing for rainy day or an emergen-
cy of any kind.
Instances of this sort are so corr
mon that 1t is a wonder young men
don't take warning, and even if they
have not been trained to it in child
hood, begin to practice thrift to
make that necessary provision for the
future or for a possible rainy day.
long before they get married at all.
Instead of that most of them trust
to luck, seem to think that the future
will take care of itself, without any
forethought, any little extra effort or
any sacrifice whatever on their part.

man past fifty who told me that al
though he had always been hard I,

had great confidence in him, and as
the head of big financial institution
he was often appointed receiver of
other concerns in trouble. But in
the end, his one great weakness, lack
OF thrift ruined him. He seems to
have spent money on his family and
his home very extravagantly, if not
recklessly. Out Of his large income
OF perhaps, thirty or forty thousand
dollars year, he never saved any
thing to speak of, and was often in
debt. Finally when MS estate became
involved he committed the crime that
ruined and disgraced himself for life.
We often hear it said that weak
ness causes more downright harm in
the world than wickedness, and it is
true. A great deal of the crime, the
poverty, the failure and misery of
the world can be traced to the lack
of thrift. This is often the weak spot
that ruins many an otherwise fine
character.
Theodore Roosevelt, whose ideal
qualities as husband and father were
an asset to this nation, and entitled
him to speak with authority on this
subject, said: Il have little respect
for the man who does not put him
self in position both to provide and
retain enough material means to sup
port comfortably those who are de-
pendent upon him."
Yet it is true that, even among bus
mess men and the classes outside of
the vry poor, those who, apparently,
have no excuse for neglecting what
every man should regard as a sac
red duty, less than twenty per cent |
make any provision at all for those
dependent upon them.
According to the statement made
by the President of the American So
ciety for Thrift. "Eighty-two of ev
cry one hundred leave no income pro-
iucing estates at all. Thus out Of ev.
cry one hundred widows, forty-seven
ire obliged to go to work and thirty
i've are left in absolute want Only
,ighteen are left in good or comfort
lble circumstances"
A great many men take chances on
heir health and strength and trust
ng to luck and investments that they
intend to make in the future, let the
ime go by when they might have 7
made adequate provisions for the fu- {
ure. s

CATTLE FOOD BIG PROBLEM
importance Of Winter Fodder in Switx-
erIand and Norway Cannot Be
OverestImated.

Mountain peoples depend for much
food on cows and goats. The problem
of getting enough winter feed for the
animals is difficult one And so this
art of moving has been developed to
extremes. In Switzerland not a spear
Of grass escapes. Grass only three
inches high is cut thrice year. The
Norwegian peasant gathers a small
hay harvest from the roofs of his
house and harms and from the edges
OF the road. Swiss peasants, called
whichever, meaning wild hay gather

family.
The traveller in Norway frequently
sees huge bundles of hay sliding down
TO valley on wires stretched from
some high precipice on Cord. This
represents the harvest from isolated
spots or from the field Of the summer
shepherd. The economy of vegetative
resources is caused by the necessity
OF finding fodder for the six or seven
months Of stall-feeding. Because Of
frequent rains in Swiss regions, NO
chance is taken in drying the hay. The
farmers family keeps tossing the hay
to hurry drying.
