their heads around, while many OF
them are Tapping their wings and pick
ing out odd feathers here and there.
The latter are dressing themselves.
The others are finishing their toilets.
Those doves are as vain as that
pretty girl there" says the rancEier,
pointing a fat thumb at a demure
maiden Of perhaps sixteen summers,
who stood near one of the mirrors In
the big field watching her pets. There
was fatherly pride in the voice and
a merry twinkle in his eyes as ne said
this.
The next instant there was Il flutter
of skirts, and the demure maiden with
the rich, brown, curly locks and great
hazel eyes showed us a pair. of wee
heels, as she sped into the house, her
cheeks as red as the muslin dress she
wore.
And we saw no more of her during
our stay
"She's a shy girl" said the rancher.
"She sees nobody out here but me and
the old woman; but, bless you! the
doves take to her as if she was some
thing good to eat They crowd all
around her when nobody else is about.
She's as much of an attraction here to
the birds, believe, as the mirrors.
Il know it sounds strange, but when
I started this dove ranch my sole out
fit comprised those three mirrors and
bushel Of grain.
''They came to- eat the grain, but
would have gone back to their nests
in the valley had there been no other
attraction. It was a few days before
the first flock of doves that came to-
feed here found the use of those mir
rors, but when they did they just
camped right on the ground and could
scarcely be driven away.
"Now they have built their nests all
about here, and usually, when not
feeding themselves or their young, are
to be found making their toilets and
admiring themselves in those looking
glasses.
Il took several hundred dozen to the
San Francisco market last year. and
sent many to Sacramento and Stock
ton. but there isn't much money in
dove-raising, and if I don't do better
this year than last, will have to give
it up.
"Uf course we don't raise the doves
in the way one would raise pigeons.
They are tame. you know. and want

Then the mountain climbers wan

A Signet Ring Once Worn by CheODs.
Builder of the Largest Pyramid.


Builder of the Largest Pyramid.
The most curious and remarkable
relic Of antiquity in the world, the
holy coat and the iron crown not ac-
cepted, now lies among the treasures
of the Abbott collection which is tenn
pOrarily deposited in the museum Of
the New York Historical society, says
the Philadelphia Press. This unique
memento of the distant past is nothing
less than the signet ring once worn by
Cheops, the builder Of the largest of
the great Egyptian pyramids. The find
ing of this ring was the browning eff
fort of the great DR.. Abbott's life Of
research among the musty tombs OF
the cradle of the human race. AS
noted above, Cheops was the builder
of the pyramid which bears his name.
and, as though it were his intention to
make the structure bear witness to his
greatness down through all the ages,
the very stones and bricks of which it
is composed are stamped with his
name. CheOps lived nearly $500 years
ago, his great pyramid being a relic
of the days when the great nations OF
antiquity were in their youth, yet we
Of the last decade of the nineteenth
century can have the supreme salts
faction of gazing upon the very ring
he wore so proudly upon bis royal fin
ger The hieroglyphics are very mi
mute. yet very accurately and beauti-
fully executed, the ring itself being Of
finest gold and weighing nearly an
ounce. The oval signet bears the name
of CheopS, which is in hierOglyphicS in
perfect accord with the stamp on the
bricks of the inside walls of the great
pyramid. This remarkable relic was
found in tomb, at GhiZeb.
