A Roy WhlluiCMl by Owl.
An Illinois boy went hunting one day
nnd in a patch of woodland he saw n
large owl perched high up in a tree,
Owls are not good to eat, and they are
useful to the fanner in catching mice
that infest the barn, but this hoy, like
most boys, only thirsted to kill some
thing; so he 11 red, and brought down
the owl. He ran to pick up the owl, sup
posing it to bo dead, but it was only
slightlydissableil.nnd promptly fastened
its talons into the tlcsh of his right
hand. This was bad enough, but pres
ently there came another owl, apparent
ly the mate of the first one, and the two
birds proceeded to give the young hunt
er such a thrashing as lie will never
have again in his lifetime. Indeed, he
had to light with nil his strength to
reach the spot where ho had left his gun.
Securing that, he boat oil the owls,
which finally took flight. Tattered, torn
and bleeding, the lMy had no energy left
to pursue them, or even to reload his
gun. He staggered to the nearest house,
had his wounds dressed and went. honu
empty-handed, but wiser. -Golden Days.
llcMort llaUlcuiiiiMfH,
In the. amli wastes of southern Cali
fornia two varieties of rattlesnakes me
found'. Thu mrgor.ones, called' "tiger
rattlers," sometimes nttuln a length of
four feet, but it is said that thc.v are
sluggish, and far less dangerous than a
.Dialler variety named die ".side
winder." This name, conies from the
snake's habit of moving shTcwise, as
well as advancing in the ordinary man
ner. It. is also called tin "horned rattle
snake," on neoount of the horn-like pro-
tuheranees over Its' eyes. It seldom ex
ceeds a foot uud a linlf in length, but
Its motions are very quick, andiit has tho
reputation of being "vicious." Youth's
