How Hawks and Owls Eat.
Capt. Tom Langston, who is one of
Atlanta’s most enthusiastic sports
men, says: “Did you ever notice a
hawk or an owl preparing to make a
meal on a bird? Well, if you have
not, I have, and the difference in their
methods is very great. A hawk will
first pick all the feathers off the bird
and then tear it to pieces as it is de
voured. He goes at it in a very system
atic and dainty manner. Not so with
an owl. After killing a bird the owl
swallows it whole, feathers and all.
He then sits quietly, and in an honr
or so you will see the owl move his
neck about as if he was trying to un
tangle a knot in it. Then he will sort
of hump up his back, lower his head
and the next moment a ball of feath
ers will roll out of his mouth. The
operation shows that the owl divests
the bird of its feathers after swallow
ing it, while the hawk plucks out ev
ery feather and quill before he takes
a bite. You get an owl and I’ll agree
to get a hawk, and some day we will
give a performance.—Atlanta Consti
tution.

Another lottery wave jiassed over
New Orleans last Tuesday, and it its
course struck Mr. Adolph L. Beltran,
son of our well known fellow citizen,
R. Beltran, Esq., commission mer
chant on Decatur street.
The blow was a severe one, and it
struck Adolph so unexpectedly that lie
has not entirely recovered his senses,
though in possession of more cents
than he ever had in the course of liis
check-ered career.
On Wednesday, with a dollarous ex
pression in his eye, he visited the
office of The Lottery Company, and
inquired for the root doctor. This
singular inquiry excited the curiosity
of the office, and he was invited to a
seat in the left-hand ward.
His pulse being felt, an extraordinary
contraction of the muscles of the dig
its of his right hand was discerned. On
reducing the same, a lottery ticket was
revealed, bearing the number 94,552.
A quick diagnosis of his case was made.
The lottery wave had given him, in
the drawing on Nov. 9, for a one-dol-
lar investment, the sum of fifteen
thousand dollars.
The “root of all evil,” in the form
of very hard cash was at once admin
istered, and Mr. Beltran’s singular in
quiry was explained.

number of trains runing in and out

Hewitt Griner, says a St. Louis dis
patch, an extensive ranchman of
Western Texas went ov r er into Mexico,
just across the river and was killed
at Lox Yecos, by some Mexicans with
whom he had had a difficulty. He
and some American friends had a
fight with the Mexicans. Griner’s
body was riddled with bullets and one
•of his men, John Weaver, was also
killed. One of the Mexicans was kill

<the party, succeeded in escaping un
der a volley of bullets. There was

Collector Crenshaw Is busy testing oleo
margarine and pure butter. He uses a
very little contrivance manufactured by
Josiah T. Halre, or Chicago, and which Is
likely to be adopted by the collectors for
testing the articles called butter exposed

•tor Crenshaw a couple of hts bogus butter
testers and said he would give a reward ot
;$100 to any one who could not easily dis
tinguish blitter from oleomargarine or
other compounds sold as) such. The tester
-consists of a simple little clear glass tube
with large open mouth and a small tin can

with water and allowing it to remain at
■a certain temperature the tube is placed in
the hot water and filled with butter cr ole
omargarine, It is allowed to remain in
the hot water until cold, and if it is genu
ine butter the cheese settles in the bottom
to a depth, while the fluid remaining on top
is perfectly clear. If the article is not gen
uine butter it refuses to become clear, but
is of an opaque and ropy nature, and is not
clear. Mr. Crenshaw has tested It several
times, and he feels sure that it will not be
necessary to send samples to the depart

In using cotton seed and acid
phosphate for manuring land the
quantity should be regulated by the
condition of the soil. On ordinary
?d from 10 to 35 bushels of the
cotton seed and from 75 to 1M

be sufficient but that quimtity would
be too much on land of g°od|quahty.
