Usefulness of tlie Owl.
"Can there be any possible herm in

The pretty milliner was quite sur
prised when told that owls were very
useful birds. Owls eat the field mice
and other small rodents that work
great injury to the farmer, and every
one that is lost not only means a men
ace to the farmers, but a distinct loss
to agriculture.
Dr.' O. Hart Merriam, ornithologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, has estimated that in
offering a bounty on owls and hawks,

A pneumatic snow plow, driven by

machine as any one could desire to
use in winter. Its novelty consists in
the fact that the snow is blown off th

away or removed. oy some sort of snow

Accidents anti Hearing.
Professor Burkner, in his lectures
in the clinio for ear diseases at Got
tingen recently, deferring to the num
erous railroad accident that have oc
curred in Germany of late, said that
it is probable that many were due to
imperfect hearing on the part of rail
road employes. While large classes
of employes have their vision tested
periodically, and often also their hear
ing, yet deficiencies in hearing capa
city occur among them frequently
which are not detected by these ex
aminations. Many who suppose their
hearings to be be perfectly good, by
careful testing are found to have very
serious defects. By reason of this
general self-deception, no faith should
be put in a man's own statement that
he hears well with both ears.
The practical investigation of the
sense of hearing demands such a mas
tery of the various methods used as
can hardly be required from the or
dinary physician. The professor said
a great part of the trainmen, and par
ticularly of the enginemen, after a
relatively short term of servioe, no
longer possess normal hearing, though
many of them may still be fit for ser
vioe. . An adequate acutenoss of hear
ing is of the greatest importance, not
only among trainmen, but track guards
and switchmen; these and others
should have good hearing in both
ears. A man hard of hearing in one
ear has great difficulty in determining
from what direction a sound comes.
The safety of travelers and of the em
ployes themselves, said the professor,
requires that far more attention be
paid to the ears of railroad men.
The Increase of Homes.
One of the best possible facts in the
latter-day progress of this country is
the increase in the number of homes.
In crowded centers of population, such
as New York and one or two other
cities, the flat and the hotel mlist
always be necessary, for space is too
valuable to be monopolized by the
humble. But even around the very
large cities there are being built thou
sands and thousands of suburban cot
tages and country residences, and all
through the length and breadth of the
country, in the towns, villages and
cities, artistic homes are increasing at
an astonishing rate. If any one will
take the trouble to look up the litera
ture on the subject he will find that jn
this country there are more than a hun
dred papers devoted to these home
builders, giving them each week plans
and suggestions. The number of books
upon low-priced architecture, written
in the past fifteen years, exceeds the
total for a century previous. A wider
education is being spread, and the gain
in every way is enormous.
A man who owns his home is a bet
ter citizen, even if there is a mortgage
on it. There is feeling of personal
partnership in the protection of prop
erty and the preservation of public
order which makes him stand for what
is best in law and government. It is
the best possible thing for his wife
and children; best for him and best for
the country. Leslie's Weekly.
Killed by His Collar.
High standing collars are now ex
clusively in vogue. The laws of
health, however, require that the neck
should be left bare, or nearly so, and
unrestrained in its movements. Hence
the collar should be loose and turn
down. More than one case has been
recorded in whish tight collars have
almost caused suffocation, the victims
being revived with difficulty. Some
two years ago, on the arrival of the
train from Nice at Paris, a rich Ameri
can traveler was found dead in one of
the compartments strangled, as the'
inquest disclosed, by his high collar,
whose button had left its mark upon
his skin. Nor is this at all an unlike-
ly accident, since there is a point in
the throat close to the "Adam's apple,"
pressure upon which will stop respira
tion at once, and bring about asphyxia.
Moreover, a collar which hardly feels
uncomfortable while the wearer is
standing may draw much tighter when
he sits down, and should he fall asleep
in it, may produce congestion, coma
and a fatal termination. The Ledger.

In the Herald's Sunday edition. Rov. Will
lam H. Lewis, D. 1)., whoso name is ap
pended to the initiatory sermon, is rector
of St. John's, the largest and most fashion
able Episcopal parish in Bridgeport, Conn.,
and is considered one of the ablest preach
ers. His subject is: "The Gift of lleliglous
Consciousness," and the sermon in full is
as follows: '
Text: "And another enme, saying, Lord,
behold, here is thy pound, which I have
kept laid up in a napkin, for I feared thee,
because thou art an austere man.
And he snith up to him, Out of thiue own
mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked ser
vant." St. Luke xlx., 20-22.
The lord of the parable, about to go
away "into a "far country," had given to
each of his servants a certain amount to
make use of while he was away. For these
three the amount given is specified, but to
all his servants he gave something. "To
each man," the parable says, "according to
his several ability." Only three are spe
cially "designated, because they serve as
sufficient illustrations of the highest, the
medium and the lowest gift. Each receiver
seems to have known that the amount
handed him was not a gift outright, but a
trust, and that his lord would eventually
come back and make an accounting. Each,
therefore, treated his trust according to the
opinion he held of hts lord.
The substance ot the parable Is evidently
this that in every man living there is im
planted a certain spiritual capacity or
ability; that men have this capacity in de
gree, so that one Iras clear and distinct
ideas of God and his duty, another has less,
and another almost none at all. But the
trust of a spiritual Instinct or conscious
ness, and of a conscience which recognizes
this consciousness, belongs to all. None is
so low in the scale of humanity that the
thought of God does not somehow enter
Into his life; and whoever has this gift baa
also the intelligence to know that he has
it, and to ask himself, at least once In his
life, if only once, what he shall do with it.
With this consciousness of God and this
conscience there comes a sense of respon
sibility; and with that there comes a cer
tainty of judgment. We indorse the rea
soning of the parable when we excuse the
man of small capacity by saying that he
does not know any better; of another, that
he ought to have known better, and of a
third, that he did know better; and the
popular judgment condemns each man
with a severity according to his gift of
capacity, his conscience, his educated or
uneducated sense of the value of the gift
which determines his use of it, and the very
worst sin of all in the popular judgment is
to have made no use of the gift. It was the
servant who knew his gift and his lord,
even ".though ho knew him wrongly, and
then made no use of his gift, who excited
his lord's anger.
Make much of the thought, for it has
much in it. If we grant the universal con
sciousness of God and the universal con
science, then every ono Is bound to conduct
himself always under pressure of the
thought that" one day he will be called
upon to answer to God for his use of these
capacities. If a man only recognizes God
by taking His name in vain, that is a recognition..-
And in actual fact there are many
people who excuse themselves in their neg
lect of religion on the very grounds on
whioh this man of the parable rested his
defence viz., harsh and distorted ideas of
God and religion. They do not see that
logically a man with harsh ideas of God
ought to be the stricter in his life for that,
if he shapes his conduct by his theory and
if he expects God to judge him by his own
oonfession. If my whole idea of religion is
that it is such a straight and narrow
way that I cannot walk in it without
help from above, and, knowing that
I must walk in it if I would be saved, I have
yet never sought that help, shall I care to
plead this neglect as an excuse when I
come to stand before a righteous judge?
Whether the napkin in which we tie up our
religious consciousness be clean and white
with the starch and bluing and ironing of a
self-satisfled morality or filthy with the
stains of every self-indulgence will make
no difference with the fact that we tied it
up and buried it. When capital combines
for selfish purposes we know what to say
of it; when an anarchist wants a division
of capital for his own benefit we can deal
with him. But when a man puts his thou
sands in an old stocking and hides it under
his chimney hearth we simply call him a
miser a miserable one. He may plead that
he had no faith in banks, but we condemn
him nevertheless. Again the common
judgment illustrates the parable.
In some shops you may find a device to
keep check upon business transactions. A
little disc springs up in full sight of buyer,
seller and employer, records the price and
drops out of sight again. But at the close
of tho day, when the accounting is made,
the registry is there and tho balance must
agree with that. A man's conscience is like
this every thought of God and duty that
comes into mind is on record there a good
thought, or a mistaken thought, or a bad
thought, it held up its signal for a moment
in the presonce of all who cared to look and
made its unalterable record of what was
done. When the time comes thejudges
God and consoienco, and even the popular
Judgment will be at the count, as they
now are at the transaction. He is a daring
thief who with these three looking on can
try to take money out of the box and throw
up a blank. Every thought ot God and
duty is a talent, a pound, bringing with it
a demand for interest upon the original
capital of God's first gift of spiritual con
sciousness and conscience, When the day
of reckoning comes we shall be condemned
by every opportunity we have had to know
and to do better. No beliefcan possibly
warrant neglect. Whatever we think of
God we are bound to do something.

THE SHELLS IN THE BIBLE.
Dr. Talmage Draws an Interesting Les
son From Them.
Dr. T. Do Witt Talmage delivered in
Washington a sermon on "God Every
where." The subject of the sermon was
"Conchology of tho Bible, or Goi Among
the Shells," as found in the text, Exodus
xxx., 84: "And the Lord said unto Mooes.
Take unto thee Bweei opiceo, ctaito and
onycha."
You may not have noticed the shells of
the Bible, he said, although in this early
part of the second book God calls you to
consider and employ them, as He called
Moses to consider and employ them. The
onycha of my text is a shell found on the
banks of the Red Sea, and Moses and his
army must have crushed many of them un
der foot as they crossed the bisected waters,
onycha on the beach and onycha in the un
folded bed of the deep.
I shall speak of this shell as a beautiful
and practical revelation of God. and as
true as the first chapter Of Genesis and tha
last chapter of Revelations or every
thing between. Not only is this shell, the
onycha, found in the Red Sea, but in the
waters of India. It not only deloctates the
eye with it? convolution of beauty, white
and lustrous, and seriated, but blesses the
nostrils wit h a pungent aroma. I spoke to
fou laat Sabbath of God in tho great; now
speak of God in the small God in the ta
flnite, and God in the inflnitesimal.
It is a secret that vou may keep for ma,
that in all the realms of the natural world
there is nothing for me so fascinating, so
completely absorbing, bo full of divlna
suggest I venoss as a shell. What? Mora
entertaining than a bird, which oan sing,
when a shell cannot sing? Well, there you
have made a great mistake. Pick up tha
onycha from the banks of the Red Sea, or
pick up a bivalvo from the beach of tho
Atlantic Ocean, and listen, and you hear a
whole choir of marine voicas bass, alto,
soprano in an unknown tongue, but
seeming to chant, as I put them to my ear,
"Tho sea Is His and He made it."
As the shell is only tho house and the
wardrobe of insignitlcaut animals of the
deop, why all the wonder and beauty ot
construction? God's care for them is the
only reason. And if God provide so munif
icently for them, will He not seo that you
have wardrobe and shelter? Wardrobe and
shelter for a periwinkle; shall there not be
wardrobo and shelter for a mau? Would
God give a coat of mail for the defense of a
Nautilus and leave you no defense against
the storm? Does Ho build a stone house
for a creature that lasts a season and leave
without home a soul that takes, hold on
centuries and reons?
But while you got this pointed lesson of
providential care from the shelled crea
tures of tho deep, notice in their construc
tion that God helps them to help them
selves. This house of stone in which they
live is not dropped ou them and is not built
around them. The material for it exudes
from their own bodies and is adorned with
a colored fluid from the pores of their own
neck. It is a most interesting thing to see
these crustacean animals fashiou their own
homes out of carbonate of lime and mem
brane. And all of thi3 is a mighty lesson
to those who are waiting for others to build
their fortunes, when they ought to go to
work and, like tho moliusks, build their
own fortunes out of their own brain, out of
their own sweat, out of their own indus
tries. Not a rnollusk on all the beaches ot
all tho seas would have a houso of shell if
it had not Itself built one. Do not wait for
others to shelter you or prosper you. All
the crustaceous' creatures of the earth,
from every ilako of their covering and
from every ridge of their tiny castles on
Atlantic and Pacific and Mediterranean
ooast3, say "Help yourself, while God
helps you to help yourself." Have great
expectations from only two persons God
and yourself. Let the onycha of my text
become your preceptor.
But tho more I examine the shells, tha
more I am impressed that God is a God of
emotion. Many scoff at emotion, and
seem to think that God is a God of cold
geometry, and iron laws, and eternal
apathy, and enthroned stoicism. No, not
The shells with overpowering emphasis
deny it. While law and order reign in the
universe, you have ,but to seo the lavish
ness of color on the Crustacea, all shades
of crimson from the faintest blush to blood
of battle-field, all shades of blue, ail
shades of green, all shades of all colors
from deepest black to whitest light, just
called out on the shells with no more order
than a mother premeditates or calculates
how many kisses and hugs she shall give
her babe waking up in the morning sun
light. Yes. My God is an emotional God.
And He says: "We must have colors and
let the sun paint all of them on the scroll
of that shell, and wo must have music,
and here is a carol for the robin, and a
psalm for man, and a doxology for
the seraphim, and a resurrection
trumpet for the archangel. Aye, He
showed Himself a God of sublime
emotion when He flung Himself on this
world in the personality of Christ to save
it, without regard to tho tears it would
take, or the blood It would exhaust, or the
agonies it would crush out. When I see
the Louvres and tho Luxembourgs and the
Vaticans of divine painting strewn along
the eight thousand miles of coast, and I
hear, iu a forest, on a summer morning,
musical academies'and Handel societies of
full orchestras, I say God is a God of emo
tion, and if He observes mathe Ratios, it ia
mathematics set to music, and Li'is figures
are written not in white chalk on black
boards, but written by a finger "of sunlight
on walls of jasmine and trumpet-creeper.
In my study of the conchology of the
Bible.this onycha of the text also impresses
me with the fact that religion is perfume.
What else could God have meant when He
said to Moses: "Take unto thee sweet
spices, staote and onycha. Moses took that
shell of the onycha, put it over the fire, and
as it crumbled into ashes, It exhaled an
odor that hung in every curtain and filled
the ancient tabernacle, and its sweet smoke
escaped from the sacred precincts and satu
rated the outside air.
Perfumel That is what religion Is. But,,
instead of that, some make it a mal-odor.
They serve God in a rough and acerb way.
Tbey box their child's ears because he does
not properly keep Sunday, instead of mak
ing Sunday so attractive the child could
not help but keep it. They make him learn
by heart a difficult chapter in the Book of
Exodus, with all the hard names because
he has been naughty. How many disa
greeable good people there are. No one
doubts their piety, and they will reach
heaven, but they will have to get fixed up
before they go there, or they will maka
trouble by calling out to us, "Keep off that
grass!" "What do you mean by plucking
that flower?" "Show your tickets!" Oh,
how many Christian people need to obey
my text, and take into their worship and
their behavior and their consociations
and presbyteries and general assemblies
and conferences more onycha.
But what thrills me with suggest! veness
is the material out of which all pearls- are
made. They are fashioned from tho wound
of the shellfish. The exudation from that
wound is fixed and hardened and enlarged
into a pearl. The ruptured vessels.of the
water animal fashioned the gem that now
adorns finger or earring, or sword hilt or
king's crown. So, out of the wounds of
earth will come the pearls ot heaven. Out
of the wound of conviction the poarl of
pardon. Out of the wound of bereavement
the pearl of solace. Out of the wound of
loss the pearl of gain. Out of the deep
wound of the grave pearl of resurrection
joy. Out of the wounds of a Savioar'
death, the rioh, the radiant, the everlast
ing pearl of heavenly gladness. "And the
twelve gates were twelve pearls." Take
the consolation all ye who have been hurt
whether hurt in body or hurt In mind ox
hurt in soul. Get your troubles sanctified.
If you suffer with Christ on earth you will
reign with Him In glory. The tears of earth
are the crystals of heaven. "Every several
gate was one pearl."
OMNISUS AS POSTQFFICE.
Kept in the Middle or the Road It Leads
'" to Utieation.
A novel question regarding a postoffloe
In tho middle of the road came up before
Judge Paul in the United States Court at
Abingdon, Va. Thoma3 Payne, Pastmaster
at Pilot, Montgomery County, complained
that the owners of all the lands within a
radius of one m'le o his o3c9 had refused
to rsnt cr cell a site on which he might
open his office. Ha prosured an omnibus,
which he placed In the road and used as an
office. B. M. Guerrant sued out in the
County Court a writ of unlawful detainer,
but Judge Paul, on the petition of Post
master Payno, issued a temporary injunc
tion restraining Guerrant and the deputy
sheriff from interfering with the Postmas
ter and his omnibus postofflce of the Unit
ed States. A rule has been issued against
the same Postmaster's opponents, requir
ing them to appear before the court and
show causo why the temporary injunction
should not be perpetuated.

Recalling Letters.
Many times people -would like to re
call a letter after it has been
mailed. This can be dona even after
the letter has reached the. postofflce at
its destination. At every postofflce
are what are called "withdrawal
blanks." On application they will be
furnished, and when a deposit is made
to cover the expense, the postmaster
will telegraph to the postmaster at the
letter's destination asking that it be
promptly returned. The applicant
first Bigns this agreement: "It is
hereby agreed that, if the letter is "re
turned to me, I will protect you from
any. and all claims made against you
for any loss you may sustain by rea
son of such action. And I herewith de
posit $ to cover all expenses incurred,
and will .deliver to you the en

many cases parties have made remit
tances to fraudulent parties or ir

way succeeded in recalling the letters.

fine species, "which belongs' to the same
genus as the Orionooo goose of South,
America, has the beak equal in length,
to the head, and at the tip bent sud
denly down, so as nearly to- hide the)
lower mandible. The wings, which,
are long and broad, are each armed
with a small bare, knob (the Orinooo
goose is often referred to as the "knob-,
winged" goose); the tail is provided
with fourteen rounded feathers.' The.
sides of the head and front of the neck,
are whitish, ; the back of the neck
is brown, as also is the collar that en
circles the lower ' part of it. . The
general color of the upper parts is a
mixture of black and gray, while the.
under parts are yellowish brown, with,
some black and white markings; on
the breast there is a brown plitch. :
The primaries and tall feathers ar&
glossy black; the tip of the beak is."
pink, as also are'the legs and feet.
Altogether, ; this is a striking and
rather handsomely colored bird. "It ia
the "Vulpanser." of . Herodotus, and ,
was domesticated by the ancient
Egyptians. It is now found in the.
valley of the Nile, south of Cairo.
