A Pretty Custom.

There is certain softness and sweetness
in Southern manners that appeal yerv
strongly to less dem ons traliye Nortberners.
Perhaps no Southern custom is pIettier than

was a certain coldness ia addressing a
guest by formal tile when every body
present was addressed Familiarity OF affec-
tionately.

An allowance Of six minutes for

The homing pigeon Ia an interesting
bird. More than any other fancy
pigeon he resembles the ordinary
pigeon. II you desire to establish a
loft Of your own, the initial expense
need not be any moro than $50 hr s7s.
You will go to some reliable fancier
and from him purchase q dozen birds
at an expense of S25 or $50. You can
build loft that will do very we'll for
B25 more, and there you are.
If You live where you have plenty
OF room the loft can be set in tho back
yard, but if you live in the city you
may find it necessary to put it upon
the roof of your house. In fact, some
Of the most famous lofts in America
are perched upon the fiat roofs of citI
houses
If any of the birds you have bought
are old ones you will find it necessary
to keep them In close confinement all
their lives, for once liberated they will
surely seek their own home and be lost
to you forever, or until the former
owners return them to you. The
homer is not q very mild bird. In
fact, he is pugnacious, and can be
caught only by its owner in the loft or
by the aid of a specially contrived net.
The essential features of loft are
plenty of room, cleanliness, shelves for
nesting, bathing place furnished with
running water, an "area" and "bob
wires" The area has hinged door
opening into the loft on ono side, and
an opening protected by the "bob
wires," which communicates with the
outer air.
The "bob wires" are so arranged
that when the returning bird lights on
tae shsm outside and desires to enter
they will swing inward and allow him
to do SO, but will not swing outward.
This IS to keep the bird chat has just
