Among all classes of people in Great Brit
ain there is widespread belief that the
common white pigeon is the herald OF DEATH
Thus white pigeon alighting on a chimney
or flying against window betokens the
death of some occupant of the house. On
account of this belief English housewives
cannot be persuaded to use pigeon feathers
about their beds.

understand is, if Riordan is the phenome-
non they concede him to be, why he does
not make some reply to the challenge of

the Californian; in fact, he allows the lat

Surely, if Rordan is the great player that

The Kennel.

ne hehnels
Californians have been of recent years
importing and breeding valuable dogs. es-
pecaliy of the setter and pointer stock.
High prices have been the rule and it is
owing to the unceasing interest of few
local fanciers that the State is represented
to-day with as magnificent pointers and set
tiers as are found in the best Eastern ken
nels. More than ten years ago, when dogs
were sold for good figure, the predictions
were made that such prices could not be
maintained, and principal among the rea-
sons given were that only few could or
would offer such prices, and that owing to
the fact that dogs could be bred and raised
50 fast the price would be low.
These predictions have not been verified,
for there has been and will be during the
present generation hundreds who will be
able and willing TO pay Tor that which de-
lights them. Sportsmen who are proud of
the ownership of first class dog are quite
numerous new and have been educated by
field trials and bench shows to place a proper
value on fine dogs. Thousands would not
own dog under any circumstances; others
have fancy for the animals; some buy to
have the name of owning the best dog
known of the breed; others to lave COM
panon; others because it is the correct thing
To have dog, and again, others because of
their superior form ami field qualifications.
All these various reasons go to form and
maintain prices of the present day. and
there has not been time in the past when
a better price could he asked and received
than at the present. Many often wonder at
the prices given for dog, and are criticized
as foolish for such indulgence but why
should it be? Thousands are given for
fine horse. or other animals; why should
not the indulgence of wealth be granted to
those who are able and want to own the
nobiest and best OF all animals; for among
the dogs are found the best OF companions,
ones that are faithful and true. The many
bench shows and field trials yearly increase
the interest of thousands who attend merely
TO see the dogs, but they have renewed in
terest for those who enter the list in friendly
rivalry.

A curious study in which a newspaper
friend of mine is indulging is that of de-
%termining the character of the opinions
that many men of many minds entertain
in regard to the time and manner of
their own deaths. The result of his
study is certainly interesting, to say tn,
least. One of the foremost men in poll
tics in this state firmly believes that he
will die by a bullet. He has no reason
for that belief except the unexplainable
presentiment that he has carried about
with him all his life.
Even when he was a boy he was fas-
cinated with the idea, and he always be-
lieved that when his time came he would
die by a bullet, and. rather viewed the
matter c~omplacently. Nevertheless, he
went to the wars, and, besides, he has
fought two duels and been an officer of
the government in the detection and ar
rest of moonshiners, and although his
life has been in imminent peril many
times, he has never been touched by a
bullet.
Another man, one of the brightest
newspaper men in Boston, believes that
he will die of pneumonia. Still another
gentleman, a physician of great skill and
a scholar of much reputation, believes
that he will be ~suffocated. He has an
idea that he will be hanged in some acci
dental way, and if you should talk to
him about this You would find that he is
painfully in earnest, and really permits
his strange presentiment to seriously dis
turb him. --Interview in st. Louis Globe

AMATEUR EXPRESS ROBBERS.


A Slight CIew Leads to Their Arrest and
Recovery of the Booty.
That was a beautiful piece of detective
work by which the three men who robbed
an express car on the Georgia Central rail
road recently were run down and run in.
The amount taken was s2,474.15 and a gold
watch. The watch and s2,31s.37 were re-
covered and the robbers were in Jail in five
DAYS after the officials took the case.
And it all came about because the rob-
bers got in a lime car to ride to the place
for the robbery, and thus got lime on their
clothes and lantern. Harve Bedford and
Billy Grim, Atlanta detectives, found the
lantern at Golfers station, where the rob
berry wa perpetrated, with lime on it.
With this clew Detective jackson, of the
Southern Express and Marshals
Harris, Of Forsyth, and Wooster, of Macon,
soon spotted one man. This was a news

a freight brakeman named Taylor for a
free ride to Atlanta, and when refused had
got into the lime car.
Marshal Harris, Of Forsyth, had mean
while found a negro at Forsyth, who had
beat his way home from Macon that night,
and he had seen the three men and taken
particular notice of the fact that as he
came near them in the night one of them
hastily concealed a lantern under his coat

1t was soon discovered that Thornton

his house next day. Also that his clothes
had lime on them. He was ''pinched" and
"squealed" at once-acknowledged every
thing and gave up all he had. The next

In reply to query as to whether he thought
there were prospects of a steamship service at
an early date between Canada and Australia,
he said:
The great natural beauty of the Canadian
franscontinental route and the unyarying
courtesy of its officials will without doubt at
tract a large number of travellers, but with the
exception of passengers do not see that there
would be very much traffic between here anu
our country unless treaty of reciprocity could
be arranged. II this could be managed how
ever, there is no doubt that line of steamer.

How about the federation OF the Australian
colonies?
That is only question OF time. 1t may come
next year and perhaps may be still further de-

differences which now stand in the way will be
o5yiaied, and the union under one federal gov
eminent will come as surely day follows
