however, for it Is we who have startled
some Of the fOcks of pigeons who live
up in the roofs of the abbey. Hum
dreds of them cOngregate here and get
their living down in the great restless
city below, especially in the palace

gruf ''cabby' fetch a painful Of water
and set 1t down near his hanson for the
pretty birds, who futter fearlessIy,
bridling and cooling, on the edge, and dip
their pink bills IN the cool water, and
then hop down and peck mp the oats
the cab-hOrse has dropped from his
nnse-bag. One would think that
nowhere could birds be safer than in
the sanctuary OF Westminster. But
alas! they have enemies who respect
sanctuary far less than King Richard
Ill The vast roofs of the abbey are
infested by a breed of a half-wild cats.
They have lived up there for years,
and can not be eXterminatPd; and not
only are they a perfect pest and
plague to all jewellers in the clOistures,
but they get their living by preying on
the poor, dear abbey pigeons.
However, we did not climb all this
height to talk of cats and p geons; and
if you once find yourself In this strange
place you viii give them but htUlo
thought. For under our feet is a great
stone sea-Vast circular pits and

ask how was it possible to pOise this

walls. But if ne want an answer to
our question we must look outside the

together, springing from the upper

one thinks of them merely as u lovely

But they are one Of the chief means of

Dveing Gloves.

ANY lady may dye her soiIed gloves
without difficulty, at a very trihing
cost, by the following recipes: For
black, first brush the gloves with all
cOhOl; when dry brush them again
with a decOction Of IOgwOOd; when
this is dry repeat the lOgwOOd wash,
and, after ten or fifteen minutes, dip
them into a deep solution of green
VItriOl.
If the color be not Jet black a little
fusuc may be added to the logwOOd.
The gloves should be thoroughly
rubbed with a mixture OF pure olive
oil and French chalk, as they begin to
drv, to give them q smooth, soft and
glossy appearance; they should then
be wrapped in flannel, and placed
under a heavy weight Should there
be any holes in the gloves they must
be carefully mended before commence
ing the dyeing process, and the tops
should also be sewed up to prevent any
Of the dye getting on the inside.
Gloves can be dyed brown by using
a decOctiOn Of fustic, alum and Brazil
wood; this should be applied in the
same manner as the foregoing. A de-
cOction Of sumac and a very week So
luton of green YirOl produce gray,
greenish gray being obtained by the
addition of lOgwoOd and fustic to
sumac. Fancy shades can be pro-
duced by using the auiliue cOlOrs in
solution; they can be simply applied
with a sponge. Thus soiled gloves
may be made as good as new.-Pop1l-
