Educating Pigeons.

4 numbered zinc tag is wound around
the right leg of each bird just before
leaving the nest, and a corresponding
number stamped on the outside feather
of each wing. On leaving the nest the
young birds are placed in an open wire
work loft with other youngsters, where
they can watch the old birds flying
about outside When habitated to the
scenery from their open-work prison.
the young birds are allowed TO go out
and join the flock. At three months
they are given their first fly of perhaps
an eighth of mile. Few are lost on
the first trial. although occasionally a
very ignorant one fails TO return. The
distance is doubled on the second trial,
given a few days later and so on until
each young bird has flown from all the
intermediate stations up to 100 miles.
All those doing the even hundred are
considered good birds, and the zinc tag
is replaced by n brass tag, the birds

keeping his eyes open, man, or boy
or girl can study, to the great adj
vantage and enjoyment not only of
himself Cor herself), but to the help of
all the rest of us. / should like to tell
you how patiently this naturalist watches
the ways of the wary birds and small
game he loves; how those sunfsh and
shy darters forget that he is looking
quietly down through the still water,
and go on with their daily life as he
wants to witness it; how he drifts
silently at midnight, hid in his boat,
close to the timid heron, and sees him
strike at his prey; or how, concealed in
the topmost branches of leafy tree, he
overlooks the water-birds drilling their
little ones, and smiles at the play of a
pair OF rare offers, whose noses would
not be in sight an instant did they sup
pose any one was looking at them. But
L can not recount all his vigils and in
genious experiments, or the entertain
ing facts they bring to our knowledge,
since my object now is only to give you
a suggestion of how much one man may
do and learn on single farm in the
most thickly settled part of the United
States. Ernest HngersoH, IN ST.

A Field Naturalist.

Forty years ago, or more, n small,
rightly-spotted turtle was described as
living near Philadelphia, and two mis-
cradle specimens were sent TO Prof.
Agassiz 1t was called Muhlenberg's
turtle, and since then not one has been
seen until last summer. Ny friend has
always been on the lookout, never fail
ing TO pick up or turn over every small
turtle he met on the meadows or along
the creek, and examine whether the
marks on its under shell were those of
the lost species. Finally, one of the
bitches in the meadow was drained off
to be repaired, and there, within q short
distance, were picked up six Muhlen-
berg turtles! If you go to Cambridge,
Mass, YOU can see four of them alive
and healthy to-day. They could easily
have gone out of that ditch into other
bitches, and so on into the creek; but,
if they ever did, they have succeeded
for twenty years in escaping some pretty
sharp eyes.
This little incident has moral for us
in two ways. One is, that often the APP
parent rarity Of an animal comes from
the fact that we don't know where to
look for it; and the other, that it takes
n practiced eve to know it when we have
found it, and to take care that it doesn't
get lost sight of again. Practice your
methods of observation, then, without
ceasing. You can not make discoveries
in any other way, And the cultivation
of the habit will be of inestimable adj
vantage to you.
This is the merest hint of how, with

A NOVEL device for stopping runaway

A NOVEL device for stopping runaway
horses has been patented 10y Mr.. Carl

The invention consists in so arranging
a curtain or binder to the bride that
it may be dropped over the horses eyes

cutting off the light and reducing him

once more under control the curtain
may be raised again without subjecting

addresses showed that he had not lost
his hold on the people. One hundred
persons rose to be prayed fo:. A

missi IN in Ireland, said that his three
weeks work in that country had been
the most productive of his life. Al

been a failure. Mr.. Moody answered
by calling volunteers TO come out

An Essay on Roller Skates.

1 Laramie Boomerang.
Y The roller skate is a wavward little
quadruped. 1t is as frolicsome and
more innocent looking than a lamb,
but for interfering with ones upright
I attitude In the community, it is per-
hsps the best machine that has ap-
! peared in Salt Lake City.
Ones first feeling on standing up on
a pair of roller skates is an uncontrol-
liable tendency to come from together.
I One foot might start out toward Idaho,
while the other as promptly strikes
out for Arizona. The legs do not
stand by each other as legs related by
bloo1 should do, but each shows dis
position to set up in business alone,
and leaves you to take care of YOUR
self as best you may. The awkward
ness of this arrangement is apparent
\ While they are setting up independ-
entity, there is nothing for you to do
but to sit down and await further de.
velopements. And you have to SIT
down, too, without having made any
