Knight TempIars' Special Event
at St. Paul's Church.
Ascension day was duly observed in
many of the city churches yesterday,
but particularly by the Protestant
Episcopal and Catholic denominations.
Mass was said in the Catholic churches,
and special musical services were held
in the Episcopal edifces. For the
knights Templars, special service was
held at st. Paul'S last evening
and was a very elaborate affair.
Both Communicates were invited, but

places in their stalls, and the service
began. 1t was pretty choral service.

females. In February the wire ia taken

Messages to be carried by homine

and are attached to two of the tail feathers
by fine strands of copper wire. If the pa
per is so fastened as to fit closely to the
feathers it will not impede the progress of
the bird. Many homing pigeons which
have been lost on long trips. or perhaps
captured. have found their way home after
many months or even years have passed.

at last the young birds can pick up for
themselves, and digest grain food.
All this, as can be readily appreciated,
must be facilitating to the mother bird and
the tenderest care and the most nutritious
food are necessary for the food of herself
and her young. There are, nevertheless,
some pigeon owners who so utterly fail to
comprehend this as to fly mother birds in
races during the period when they should
be feeding their young. This may or NAV
not be cruelty to the old bird. her unim-
paired strenGth being certainly needed for

lives. This. fortunately, is now generally

advantageously taken up by the young peo-
pie Of any family whose home is so arranged
that loft will not be in the way.
The loft is easily constructed. 1t may be
built out of doors, or a corner of barn, or
shed, or garnet may be wired off for the
purpose. Some of the most extensive lofts
in the United States are built upon the fat
roofs of city homes. A loft six feet square
and six or seven feet high will comfortably
accommodate flock of forty birds and
would not be too large for beginners few
pairs OF young birds. Nothing is worse for
homing pigeons than over-crowding and it
is just as easy at the start to construct a
spacious loft as to build one that will soon
prove too small. Still more important is It
to see that your loft is free from draughts
and dampness. Attention to details of this
kind at the beginning is the best kind of
insurance against bird diseases in the flock
Won hope to own. With the loft dry and
free from draughts no artificial heat in
winter ls required. Indeed, it should be
avoided.
Lofts can be low priced or expensive, &C.
cording to taste. A simple enclosure could
be made almost without expense by any
clever boy or young man of mechanical
skill. Shelves, divided into compartments,
