one of them. While John was tak-
ing him from the trap the mother
cat returned and jumped on his

shoulder and her sharp claws in his

could help himself was by raiS.ng up
and placing his tmk against a tree

time his son had come to his a^st-
ance, attracted by his cries for help.

LARGE COWS GO TO INDIA.
The four largest cows in Great
Britain left Liverpool recently for
Calcutta, consigned to an Indian
niaharajah, who ordered them more
than a year ago from his London
agents. When the order was given
it was directed that the cows must
1 stand five feet four inches at the
1 shoulder and measure 14 feet from
! the tip of the nose to the end of the
bony part of the tail. Animals of
this great size are not easily found
! and it has taken the agents just 16
j months to get together four cows of
the requisite measurements. In-
' quiries made in Italy and Switzer-
j land were fruitless, and the animal?
j were eventually obtained in the
| Midlands and Yorkshire.

world, the two-uiasted schooner j
Polly, famous as a privateer in the '
war of 1812, has again changed
owners, and J. H. Weldon of Digh- j
ton, Mass., bought the Polly for ,
$1,000 front Capt. Walter Spencer j
of Rockland. The Polly is still sea- ,
worthy. She has been partly rebuilt j
several times, but her fnvme con- ,
tains many of the timbers laid
down in her original construction at j
Amesbury, Mass., in 1805. During
the war of 1812 the Polly captured
11 prizes, several big British mer-
chantmen and other smaller craft,
only to be captured herself by the
frigate Phoebe. She was afterward
recaptured by the Y ankees.

owl against orchard pests.
The fruit growers of New Zea-
land after long racking their brains
in vain to find some way of getting
rid of the small bird pest recently
thought of trying owls. A hundred
small German owls were ordered
from Europe, and a part of the or-
der was delivered last September.
The owls were liberated in the fruit
growing districts and immediately
proved a wonderful success. I hey
killed waxeyes, finches, green lin-
nets, thrushes, blackbirds and spar-
rows, also mice, rats and young rab-
bits. They fed their young on cater-
pillars, grubs and beetles, and their
only fault seemed to be an occasional
fondness for a barnyard chicken.
