Pigeons Build Nest Over an Altar.
Since Friday two pigeons have been
engaged in making a nest for the win
ter above the altar of the immaculate
Conception church. Sunday the pas
tor, the Rev. p. McHale, preached for
the first time since he returned from
his visit to Rome, Paris and other
European cities, and gave the papal
benediction to the congregation. Dur
ing the service the fluttering of the
pigeons attracted the attention Of the
entire congregation, and in the parish
it has been a subject of conversation
ever since. One of the pigeons is
white, with black spots, and the other
is of a grayish color. 1t is supposed

Did Not Do Miracles

A little town near Providence boasts
a Congregational church whose pastor,
besides being an eloquent preacher. is
a man of neutrality-suspicious.. At one
of his evening prayer meetings the serv-
ices were disturbed by two young men
who audibly scoffed at everything thew
saw or heard. Finally the pastor re-
monstrated with them on their behav-
ior and asked them why they attended
the meeting.
1--WE came expecting to see miracles
performed" impudently replied one of
the rascals, Leaving the desk and
walking quietly down the aisle, the
pastor seized one after the other by the
collar, and as they disappeared out of
the door, with the imprint of his boot
in their trousers, remarked: 1--WE don't
perform miracles here, but we cast out
devils. Boston Globe.

saying that there is nothing artificial

etiquette is easily learned and based

the actual need of the chance guest.
