TURNING HUMOR TO ACCOUNT. 
Da\'e Trombley several weeks ago shot a 
white owl in the marsh between Saginaw and 
Bay City—the arctic or snowy owl, rarely seen 
so far south. It was merely wing-tipped and 
soon recovered from its injur3L says the Sag¬ 
inaw Courier-Herald, so Dave gave it to “Ted” 
Brown, at the Bancroft house. The latter soon 
made friends with the owl, teaching it to take 
raw liver out of his hand and to let him scratch 
its head, but it snaps and hisses at any one else 
who approaches. The bird has the freedom of 
the billiard room at the hotel, and seems con¬ 
tented with its winter quarters. 
“Ted” conceived the idea of forming the 
“White Owl Club”-—which proved an immense 
success. The initiation fee was fixed at such 
sum as the candidate cared to pay. which was 
dropped into one of the Rescue Mission boxes. 
Then the initiate was taken back to be solemnly 
introduced to the owl, which never winked an 
eye. taught the grand hailing sign of the order, 
and entered as a full-fledged White Owl. The 
membership grew with great rapidity and when 
the Rescue Missioners came around to collect 
they found over $60 in the treasury, which they 
bore away with delight. 
EXPORTS OF FIREARMS AND 
GUNPOWDER. 
For the first ten months of 1911 the value 
of firearms exported from the United Kingdom 
was £ 355.447 ($ 1 , 729 , 783 ), as compared with 
£ 205,085 ($ 998 , 046 ) and £ 177,317 ($ 862 , 913 ) for 
the corresponding ten months of the two 
previous years. Exports of gunpowder show a 
reduction in- value. The total for the first ten 
months of 1911 was £ 131,521 ($ 640 , 047 ) and 
53,450 hundredweight (hundredweight =: 112 
pounds), as compared with £ 149,345 ($ 726 , 787 ) 
and £ 144,590 ($ 703 , 647 ) in value and 60.290 hun¬ 
dredweight and 60,316 hundredweight, respec¬ 
tively, for the same months of 1910 and 1909 .

Bulldog Breeders’ Show. 
W. C. Bechtold, of Philadelphia, has the 
honor of owning the best bulldog exhibited at 
the Fifth Members’ Show of Bulldog Breeders 
of America, held on March 9, at Lyric Hall, 
New York city. His bow-legged beauty Bosco 
Baronet, for which he paid $8,000, took first in 
open, over 45 pounds, limit over 45 pounds, and 
the blue ribbon, and deserved every award be¬ 
yond any shadow of doubt. 
Unfortunately Ch. Leone Hazelwin, although 
exhibited, was not entered, for the consensus of 
opinion was that Bosco would have taken away 
his laurels. As it was, Leone’s nose was out 
of joint, figuratively speaking. Princess Mer- 
low, a beautiful bitch, took the blue ribbon and 
won in her class. The show was eminently suc¬ 
cessful, for which much thanks is due Secretary 
A. D. Gillette. 
The entry list numbered 196 and the bench 95. 
The judges were R. R. Littlefield, of Gardner, 
Me., for the dogs, and W. A. Betts, of Wood-

Keep Wounds Clean. 
Wounds should be thoroughly washed and 
cleansed, taking special care to see that no hair 
is left in the wound, as this is a very common 
source of trouble. If the wound be serious, it 
should be stitched—not too close together—and 
covered with old linen, kept wet with cold water. 
In about three days, if the animal is in good 
health, the stitches should be picked out. and 
the wound dressed with iodoform powder by 
sprinkling it over the entire surface and again 
covering with the wet linen. If the wound is 
very serious, you should at once call in the ser¬ 
vices of a veterinarian. 
Jill and her progeny by Tesca, fine spec'mens 
of the almost extinct breed of Chesapeake Bay 
retrievers, and shown at the last Westminster 
show, are for sale at the kennels of Miss Hydon, 
Bogota, N. J. Jill won second at the Garden 
two weeks ago. These dogs are owned by James 
A. Stillman, the New York banker, which is 
sufficient evidence as to their qualitj'. 
W’oRKiNG sheep dogs are becoming quite popu¬ 
lar in America, so much so that arrangements 
are being made bv a Scotchman, whose home is 
in America, to take to the far West two teams 
of working dogs to give public exhibitions in 
the States of Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota.
