PIGEONS FOR PROFIT.
Experience of Man Who Has Made the
business a Success.


business = Success.
Ny management TO get the most
profit at the least outlay has been as
follows: aim TO have only mated
pairs and never 20 break them up.
There should only be MS many pairs as
can have two nesting places each. safe
from disturbance by the others. Those.
that have chosen nests and have used
them for breeding will generally de-
fend and hold them for life. They
often have eggs in one nest while
feeding squads in the other, Young
pigeons can be sold as squads as long
as any yellow down shows on the
head, but the best time to kill them is
when they are feathered out. and just
before they are ready TO leave the nest.
IL too young, they are soft; IL they fly
any, they get thin. They should be
collected every week. or two weeks al
least II eggs are broken In tho
spring. all may be brought TO ley at
about the same time, and squads will
be nearly the same In age
IL IL Is desirable TO increase the num-
Der OF old birds, the late reared ones,
II allowed TO remain. cause less dis
.turbance, as they are not likely to
mate before spring. Early reared
birds may be more hardy, but they
soon mate and fight for nests at u
time when there is the most breed
'ipR; several may demoralize the whole
loft and cause much-loss of eggs and
young. They are also more apt TO
seek a home elsewhere. IL near stores
and mills where much grain Is spilled,
but little feed will be needed, but feed
given them makes them attached To
their home and is as well invested as
when fed 10 chickens for market.
Taxidermists use many white pigeons,
but of late pay so little for them that
IL is more profitable to sell them as
squads.
Dry pigeon manure may be sold Z
tanneries for sixty TO seventy-hve
cents per bushel, delivered, IL free
from straw and grit. The loft need
not be cleansed OF this but once in
several years. The time To cleanse ii
Is in winter, when the birds have
ceased TO breed.
Keep your loft clear of all but mated
birds, have double compartments well
secluded for each pair of nests, and
market all the squads before they fly.

New Notions in the Department OF wom-
ans Dress.
One of the distinguishing features OF
the swell bonnet Is the aigrct portion
OF the trimming Extremely fine aigrcts
are very scarce and very expensive.
Those ordinarily used have the quilts
clipped off. The simon-pure. high
grade aigret has the end Of the feather
with the extremely fine hues like slen-
der threads.
A stylish dress for a girl Is made Of
striped camels' hair. A band OF plain
goods matching the stripe finishes the

blouse waist with "A wide turned back
collar and deep cuffs of the silk. Asilh

Enormously wide ribbons are used on
bonnets and hats. To make one Of the
fashionable bows is work OF time,
patience and natural artistic taste.

a; it should extend upward at the,
bend a little more than the diameter
of the pipe, SO that the pipe at the
lowest point Of the bend will always
remain full OF water. This, OF course,
prevents the sewer gas from escaping
into the room. Every time the sink Is
used the water remaining in the pipe
IS forced out by the weight of the new
addition. This is one of the most sim
pie lessons in hydraulics. and OF great
value when rightly put in practice. 1t
Is well also 10 flush the sink pipe oc-
casionally with strong washing soda,
letting il stand in the trap all night.
The refuse water from the weekly
wash, hopping or scrubbing, may be
emptied into the funnel at M, and be
carried off by the drain. This funnel
Is OF wood one foot square at the top,
tapering TO the diameter of pipe. The
drain pipe should be at least four
inches in diameter and placed below
frost, and discharged five or six rods
from the dwelling, so that the water
will spread over large area and quick
ly evaporate. The sink outlet pipe
should be one inch in diameter. either
OF lead or iron. The funnel also acts
as ventilator for the drain, and
should not be located nearer than If
teen feet from the building. Cast iron
pipe is best for the drain, as sewer
pipe or wood, unless the joints are ce-
inented, Is liable to leak. which will
prove dangerous To the ,velland cellar.

SAN FRANoIsco, April 9.-The steamer
Australia with advices from Honolulu
dated March 25th, says: Kilauea volcano
has been the subject of violent con-
vulsion and eruption not known for
many years. A month ago the upward
growth Of lava had obliterated the inner
pit half mile in diameter, and had
built over it cone 10Olfeet higher, on
the summit Of which lay the lake Of ten
acres Of liquid fire constantly overflow
ing. On the 2lst violent explosion
threw rocks and fire to height of some
hundreds Of feet. At the same time an
area of several acres Of the new lava on
the north side was upheaved and tilted
1t now overhangs the lake as a high
crag hiding the center OF the lake from
the hotel. Great oveI lows followed, ex
tending over the floor of the main pit
one mile aud half from the lake.
A terrific sea rolled in upon the eastern
coast of the island of Hawaii on the 23d
and oath. The landings were made with
difficulty at the base Of the cliffs and the
cliffs and the plantations of Paasuhua
Paauilo, Ookala and Kukuihaele were
all carried away by the sea. and nc
freight can be landed or removed.
The landings in the Hilo district were
