Theories Concerning the HomIng Pigeon.
The much discussed question of the
homing Of the pigeon, OF, as the French
term it, orientatfon, does notFseem diff
cult to meet 70 one who has much TO do
with the birds. There are. however. as
many THEORIES advanced a. there are SCI
entists who have studied it. One as
cribes it to a sense of which we are not
cognizant as if the senses were six, and
man had knowledge of but five Of them.
Another finds a path for the birds in the
magnetic currents Of heat and cold.
Some rank the impulse with the instinct
of the migratory bird, while others
ascrrbe the performance TO sight,
and others again to lack and
chance. The facts do not bear out
any of these theories. The atmospheric
currents may aid. but it is by their We
locity and direction, not their tempera-
ture, and they hinder as often. The
magnetic currents may affect, but it Is
in stimulating and intensifying. or, as
/ they are adverse, ia depressing. 1t is
not instinct. Instinct is involuntary
and unerring. Guided by instinct, the
bird wonld not go astray, and the ele-

sport depends would be lost. The homing
pigeon not only errs, but shows inde-
eision. Thus its action is voluntary and
the result of sort Of reflection, and it is
as the premises of which it takes cogni-
nance are imperfect or false that its ac-
ton is in error.
The sight Of the homing pigeon is only
limised by the dip Of the horizon and the
altitude at which it can sustain itself in
the air. It's memory exceeds human
understanding. Thus, a bird will rise
from a basket and be over a strange
place only long enough to go away from
it, but, if it itself TO be lost, is injured.
or IS unable TO proceed, it win return 70
the place Of the start.-E. S. Storrs in

Chinese Tea-Drinking an San Francisco

Chinese Tea-Drinking in san Francisco.
You drink without meat or bread at
this place, where | advise you to take
tea. Your food is fish and candy and
nuts You will not miss the meat or
bread on the table. And this, I think, is
about the highest praise l can write
down of the delights in spending a
% cents for a taste of pure and in adulter
ated tea. The dinner, or tea" is, l as
sure you, made up entirely of fish, fruit
and nuts; and such queer and curious
candied fruits!
You see no Americans here, except
those who come tearing up the brass
stairs with very red guide-book and
very bad manners. Some British sea
captains. who know tea, loaf about, but
are very quiet. And so it rests you here.
You see groups of Chinese merchants,
or travellers, come in, sit on a table and
take tea as at home exactly. They do
not like chairs, and so they double their
legs in all sorts Of ways. They pay
great respect TO strangers, and all viii
rise and run in a body to help you if
need be, or to give any information.
They always bow gravely and respect
fully as they come in or go out.
Tea is brought in a large cup of the
thinnest and finest blue porcelain. You
may smell of the tea, finger it, tear it
all to bits if you like. A man stands by
with brass teakettle of curious old
fashion filled with boiling water. This
is poured on your tea at your pleasure.
Then you put a little red porcelain lid on
your large cup. Then IN about half a
minute you pour the tea from your big
cup into very small and very fine cup,
of an egg-shell size and thickness. In
the course of half an hour you may, if
you like, have as many as three cups of
hot water poured on your tea. But l am
told that real good Chinese tea tippler
only has one; takes it strong and straight,
you see.-Joaquin Miller in Chicago

The Clam Cure in Connecticut.

In some parts of Switzerland the ma
tives make their fortunes with what
they call the grape cure. The system is
gravely advertised, and resident physi-
clans administer the proper quantities Of
fresh grapes. You go to a mountain vii
lage, enjoy the fine scenery and bracing
air, eat grapes for a certain number of
weeks, and are sent home IN excellent
health. Enterprising Connecticuters are
proposing TO advertise the clam cure
in a similar manner. The medicinal eff
fects of eating New London CLAIMS have
never been adequately exploited.
The extraordinary recovery of ex-Presi-
dent Arthur, who got well as soon as he
had eaten fried CLAIMS, is cited as an Illus
tration. Most men about town know
the virtue of a cocktail of clam juice
before breakfast. A diet of raw CLAIMS
is one of the best remedies for DYSPEPSIA.
In the clam cure, as in all other cures,
it is necessary to have some faith as an
adjunct; but this can be supplied by the
publication of certificates from patients
who have been benefited by sojourR
on the Connecticut coast.-New York

The Care Of a Kings Heart.

A curious ceremony, recalling to ones
mind the customs of the middle ages,
took place few days ago at Munich.
King Ludwig's heart, which had been
removed from his body previous to the
embalmment Of the latter, was placed at
the time in a magnificent silver-gilt urn
specially made for the purpose and filed
with spirits of wine. The 2d inst. all the
bells in the city began to toll, flags were
half-masted, minute guns fired, and shops
closed, while the urn containing the i'll
fated monarch's heart, accompanied 10y
an immense military escort, was borne
in solemn procession through the streets
to the Western Railway station, whence
it was conveyed by special train TO Al
totting, about half an hours ride by rail
from the capital. On arrival there it was
confided to the monks Of the ancient
monastery Of the place, who have al
ready in their keeping the hearts of a
long line of King Ludwig's predecessors.

The Causes of summer Mortality.

The Philadelphia Ledger observes
that during the warm months mortality
is greater than it IS IN the winter months.
"A considerable percentage of this, says
The Ledger, is to be aseribed TO inten-
perance of strong drink, but the victims
in quite as large a proportion of cases,
and especially among children and
women, are persons to whom the taste
of hot and rebeIfous liquors is scarcely
known. The truth is that there is death in
the pot as well as in the bottle. Danger
from overeating is fully as insidioas as
danger from drink Too much
of anything, even of the most simple
food, is RI y at any time, but especially
when the whole system, mental and
physical, Is under strain and fatigue
Simple food, taken IN moderation, and
slowly enjoyed, is prescription 20 pre-

From Bar H2rhor TO Newport the sum-

IS the homeless rich who excite ones so

have a certain Predetermined polarity OF
life which may have its hardships, but
has also its definiteness Of purpose. But
the people who, by means of abundant
wealth. are freed from this eentripetal

lady daughter whose lives offer them
the perfect freedom that wealth

q man of liberal tastes and freedom from
business routine. They could own a
house in this city fitted up to their hk-

at the sea, or pass the summer abroad.
or travel anywhere through their own
country. Instead, they live the nomadic
life that involves constant interruption
and the hardships and discomforts OF
moving the machinery and impediments
Of life from pillar TO post. They passed
winter at city hotel, the entire fur
nishings of beautiful home they had
once owned being stored for an indeti-
mite time III a Boston warehouse.
Suddenly, before it was time to leave
town for the summer. circumstances
forced them to change their hotel. They
tried another for a short time-the time
being too brief to make II worth while
to fairly settle III their rooms-aAd then
they started on series Of summer mi-
grations in some of the inland resorts.
In midsummer they returned to Boston
and stayed a few days at a downtown
hotel. in the midst Of noise and traffic
that was unceasing night and day, while
they could prospect for seaside hotel,
to which they went, TO find small rooms.

a Duel with an Indian.

Gen. William II. jackson, OF Tennes-
see, recently visited his old time comrade
and friend. Gen. W. W. Averill. of
cavalry fame, and the two were recount
ing "reminiscences OF adventures on the
frontier. Thirty years ago they were
young heutenants in a regiment OF
mounted rhemen, then serving in New
Mexico.
AverllFs regiment was resisting pre-
datory band of kiowas. Eieut. Jackson
was in the combat as Averill's guest.
Averin was a good shot, but was using
small Colts revolver, and a Kiowa
chief with whom he became engaged
did not pay much attention to it,
although twice wounded by it, once in
the side and again in the thigh. In
cooking the pistol for the third time the
spring Of the lock broke, and. as they
were at close quarters. Averin rushed
upon the Indian and tried to brain him
with the weapon. The chief seized the
lieutenant, and a wrestling match en-
sued without any hippodroming. They
became locked together. The Indian,
with his left arm around Averill, held
the heutenant's right wrist with wise like
grip of his left hand, preventing the use
OF the pistol, while in turn the right
hand of the savage, with a knife in its
grasp, was held off by AveriIls left
clutching his wrist. Round and round
they plunged and twisted and strained
in the life and death struggle, the knife
rapidly approaching nearer and nearer
TO Averill's throat, when Jackson, who
had been looking for his friend, found
him in this deadly embrace. As herode
up AveriU was wondering if that Indian
would ever tire out or pause for breath;
but he was as strong and active as a
young buffalo" which was his name.
Then he heard Jackson's voice sing out:
STEADY, Ayerill. I'm going to shoot"
But the Indian heard the voice also,
and took good care to keep AveriIl's body
between him and the proposed shooter.
Finally. jackson rode close up to the
pair, and placing the muzzle of his pis-
tol directly against the Indians right
arm, fired, breaking the bent arm both
above and below the elbow. The Indian
coolly dropped Co a sitting position and
exclaimed IN Mexican-Spanish: "Shoot,
curse youi"
\ cowardly Mexican, who had been
hiding near by brought heavy revolver
to Averill and begged him to kill the
Indian; but Averill replied: NO, he is
a brave man, and 1 would sooner kill
you. New York Sun.

cool. 1t is not sufficient to keep game
on ice; they must be positively frozen,
and large freezing mixture of ice and
salt is hence necessary. In Europe game
isn't considered worth cooking until it
is high and almost rotten, but here it
must be kept fresh and sweet, or no one
will touch it. The freezing-room also
serves an excellent purpose in enabling
us to keep game until it is in season here
and elsewhere. Game laws in different
states vary very much, and we are able
to sci. game freely at the seaside when
we daren't show it in St. Louis. Birds
can be kept frozen eight and nine
months without having the flavor

is very convenient. ST. Louis Globe
