How Pigeons are Trained.

The breeding and training of carrier pigeons has, become, as is known, fa- vorite pursuit with many fanciers in this country, although it has by no means be- come as popular as in Europe. A brief account, therefore, of the manner of training and of the records of the sport will be of interest to those who are not already familiar with the subject. The instinct which renders the bird valuable is its love of home. The person who has them in training watches the arrival of the youngsto full strength of wing, which period is when they are four to six months old. - They are then taken half 8 mile from home and set at liberty. Those that do not come home are re- garded as worthless. This distance is gradually increased from two to thou sand miles, and tEe bird, once trained, will return from the most remote part of the globe. It is frequently the custom te.skeepa birds in as-dark place for six hours before race, where they are fed sparingly, but allowed all the water they can drink. If @ message is to be sent the paper is tied carefully around the upper part of the birds leg so as not to impede its flight. The owner of differ ent birds has his private stamp in col ored ink on the wing. When the bird is thrown into the air it rises, and, when it has reached a good height, it will fly round and round to get its bearings and make off without 3 stop until its home is gained. No bird is ever liberated in hazy or foggy weather, and the best birds become confused unless rightly started. :. .s.. - "N

 At last conspiracy was organized by some of the larger ones to lay in wait for Jones, and give him terrible thrashing, ~so-as to make him mend his manners ahd, at the same time, not to absorb so much ofathe attentions of,the epretty girls of the town.
 They arranged matters, and big, good natured fellow named .Schemerhorn was selected to begin the assault. It was known that Jones visited certain house 9n"cer5fa 4yfqHtipgs I.agad, there being no moon the night selected, everything was in readiness for the bloodthirsty under taking. aSchemerhorn' was to collar -Jones,'' pretending to mistake him for -ashotl1ef; member of the class named 1ss1nitE 'fha& part of the 'programme was carried dut,, but Jones let o6ut with the motive bower of a pile driver, and sent tthe t1os unfortunate Schemteerho6ln to tie earth; he jumped up and again the tutor knocked him down.

sFF~e4N . 7@t1 S Sz'' A Harvest of Beetles.

The, provincial official journals of Russia give, some curious statistics of, the harvest of beetles inn the southern provinces. TIn many parts. of dtf 'Kharkoff the only harvest reapeed this year by the peasaats has been ththtt = 0tff 0tff the beetle,' for collecting which the local assem- plies have granted small subsidies. The results pf this harvest are, weekly plfb4 lished in the h Khatkof government Vedomeos&, and the number 15ust re- ceived contains a long list in continua- tion of ,previous, ones. From this :We learn that that two tons of beetles have been reaped in the commune Veselandskity five tons at Nssilievsky, sevenr tops at the German -+ cplonfes 1t sEigenfalds ten tons at Belozer4k, anh fifteen ton4 at PrisAilsks ~ Such figures as these but faintly bring home to the mind the rav- ages wrought by the insect pests of Russia, and their prostrating effects on the prosperity of the country. The visitation, indeed, is as extraordinary as it is beyond human skill to cope with Fifteen yearsT haveo@ elapsed sinte the waves of the Black Sea first washed On the Russian shores the eggs of the bee tie, and yet, so far from the phenome- non being exceptional in its character, it has been repeated constant1y since, and the Odessa Vest,aik just received contains another announcement that fresh "swarms are ripening in the sun on the sands near Sebastopof. Where they come from is 8 mystery. The larvae is first seen floating on the waves of the Black Sea, the beetles break into life as soon as the eggs get stranded on the shore, and then swarm after swarm of them pass over the C1imeaas valleys into the interior every year increasing the area of their ravages, and every year diminishing by millions the sorry earnings of Russian peasants. How to deal with the evil is one of the great problems of to-day in Russia. |. Ma chimes of alf~'descriptions have beeh tried, but have proved more or less worthless, as indeed must all mechani- cal appliances: against 8 pest'Iso vast that single field in Kharkoff was calcu, lated in the spring to contain 5O,OO0,- OCO insects.

Why Dry Goods Don't Wear We'll.

Why is it, asks a 'neWspapsr corre- spondent, ''that nearly all dry goods are of an, inferior quality to those Sold to our grandmothers The reason is, there is such great demand for. cheap things. Cotton goods, which used to be woven twenty threads to the inch, are now woven only ten threads to' the inch, This applies to. silks and mixed' fabrics. To undersell each other is the aim of the manufacturers, few caring to maintain their reputation for superior quality at the expense of diminishing the quantity of their sales. X &>v
 "Woolen goods, such as cloths and carpets, are half-yorn out -hefoFe- you get them, for they are so mixed-witl< shoddy, that the only new Cotton or wool in them is barely sufficient to lenghten the thread for wearing ~~~7, "To make shoddy they buy old-sloth clothes, old woolen ,.garme and tail ors' trimmings. These are put into 8 picker, or cylinder, filled with. teeth, which in revolving tears them into shreds. Mixed with little wool or cot ton, this is spun into yarn, dyed and woven into:new elotaazor eaapeE EEese1X all dark carpets are made pf sBHay. 11 light colofed carpets shoddy cannot be used, for, which reason these. are the best to wear, Printing cloths, or, cali coes are so filled with starch and dress ing that before washing they present a beautiful, soft appearence. When once washed, however, this comes cut, and they show what they are. ..'45'~
 Fashion is responsible for, this de- terioration in manufactured fabrics, Ladies get tired of wearing the same same goods so long, and, therefore, prefer to buy cheap and often, rather than to buy dear and seldom. To meet this demand manufacturers make inferior goods, and some manufacturers even ask higher prices for inferior articles" :" -E.t' v
