Training Tumbler Pigeons.

we have known many purchases MADE
of birmingham rollers" and great
disappointment expressed at the after
performance of the birds of their prog
eny simply from carelessness in their
management The best flying tumblers
in the world, if left to fly at will, will
rapidly degenerate. Each flier has its
own little details of management, which,
after all, matter very little. The essen
tial point is that, in beginning to train,
the birds are only let out occasionally,
say every three or four days, and when
hungry, be it morning or evening. The
reasons for both precautions are, first, the
previous confinement causes them to fly
actively at once upon being liberated,
and, second. their appetite leads them
to quick return as soon as they have
had exercise enough.
They must be fed Immediately on re-
turn to keep up this habit, plentifully
while only occasionally flown, but light
~ when, being trained and let out in
the morning, they are going to be let
out again in the evening, their full
meal being in this case reserved till aft
er the last fly. If of good stock and first
tossed when there are no birds to tempt
them to ''pitch,'' they soon get into the
habit of bursting off the moment they
are liberated, and this habit must be
very carefully preserved, wedding out
instantly, as soon as discovered, any I'M
usually lazy bird which, would other
wise be check upon the rest and might
lead them to descend with it. No other
system is needed beyond this in training
tumblers. -Liverpool Courier.

SIeeD and Long Life.

Sleep as prolonger of life is upheld
by a curious calculation which appeared
in recent medical work on the digest
i've organs and faculties The duration
of human life may be ascertained by
the pulsations of the body. Say man
lives to 70 years, his heart beating 60
to the minute, the pulsations in that
time foot up to 2, 207, $50, 900. If by in
temperance or any other cause he raises
pulsation to rs a minute, the same num-
Der of pulsations would be finished in
Sc years, thereby abbreviating his life
by IA years. And as the number of pull
sations is less in a sleeping than in
waking state it stands to reason that a
long sleeper has much better prospect
of a long life than person who is salts
fed with short maps Napoleon I, who
slept very little, did not attain old age
General Butler, who could sleep at will
rounded out good ripe sheaf of years.

Speedy Locomotives.

Much has been said Of the new Big
Four and other locomotives, but here is
one that seems to eclipse everything on
this side of the water when everything
is considered.
One of the London and Northwestern
engines during a race to Scotland in 1888
covered the distance from Preston to
Carlisle, 30 miles, in exactly so minutes,
having gradient of no less than one in
seventy-five to climb between Tebay and
Shah Summit. One of the most famous
engines of this company is known as the
Charles Dickens and runs daily from
Manchester to London and back, dis
lance of 1861 miles. Except when
stopped for repairs the Charles Dickens
has, since February, 1882, made this
journey every day, working up the $50
a. m. from Manchester and returning
with the 4 p. IN. from Eflston. On Sept.
10, 1891, i completed the two thousand
six hundred and fifty-tirst trip, having
accomplished the extraordinary feat OF
running eco, 900 miles III years and 219
days. No other engine in the world hes
run SO many miles in a like period of
time.-Dallas News.

That Tired and Exhausted Feeling Means
More Than You Think.

The nervous system is fearfully delicate 1t
is easily deranged, and when it is, beware.
The symptoms are debility, tired feeling, ina
bIlity for much work, trembling, anxiety,
depression of mind, nervousness and often
leep1essness and dull feeling head in the
morning.
These lead to nervous prostration, paralysis
or insanity. You terrible risk in neg
lectipg any of these symptoms You can be
cured noU. If you neglect yourself you will
soon become hopeless wreck, as Mrs. w. A.
Tinkham, of Stowe, VT. did. She writes the
following about herself:
''About six months ago found myself in an
extreme nervous condition. This had been
gradually growing upon me for several years
and I cannot tell what suffered, it was be-

q Peculiar Revolver.

James Cox was found lying near the
foot of Illinois street at 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning with Il cash in his scalp.
He said he had been shot by Max
Schmidt, saloon keeper near by. Cox
was sent to the county hospital and
Schmidt arrested. AT the county hospi-
tai the attending physician said Cox had
not been shot, and that the scalp wound
was of trifiing nature. Cox was re-
turned to the East Chicago avenue sta
ton and locked up. Schmidt was charged
with assault, gave bond and was re-
leased.
Patrolman Becker Went to Schmidt's
saloon and secured possession of n pc
culiar revolver. 1t is circular in shape
and resembles a pocket tape measure
with short barrel attachment. Inside
the device is Il revolving cylinder with
seven chambers of small callber. The
revolver is held in the small of the hand,
with the barrel protruding through the
fingers. The operator can discharge the
weapon by squeezing it, and the pro-
truding barrel also serves the purpose of
brass knuckles. Cox said that Schmidt
struck him with this weapon several
times and then shot him in the head.
The caliber of the revolver is only %,
the bullets being oblong in shape. The
weapon makes only slight report, but
is capable of doing considerable damage.
1t is the first of its kind the police of the
East Chicago Avenue station have seen.

LADIES' COLUMN.
DARKENED SLEEPING ROOMS.

1t is claimed by some physicians
that the brain can not rest perfectly
unless all light is excluded from the
sleeping room, and whether in going
to bed at night or simply lying down
for half hours rest in the middle of
the day, this precaution should be
taken. Where house has an eastern
or southern exposure, the rooms will
be filled with light long before it Is
time to get up, and unless some
means be taken to prevent, the morn
ing rest will be more or less broken.
Especially is this true in the case of
little children, and it is well to accus-
tom them from theafirst to sleep in the
dark.
In the absence of outside blinds
there is moi better way to secure this
pleasant twilight so conducive to rest
than by the use of inside shades made
of the darkest green holland, and they
have a great advantage over either
inside or outside blinds in that they
are so easily adjusted.
They supplement but do not take
the place of the ordinary shades, but
are set somewhat inside, so as not to
interfere with them, and are rolled
up and quite out of the way when not
in use.
The best grades of this goods are
durable, and with reasonable care will
last for years, and from her own ex-
perience the writer can recommend
them as a most desirable investment.
If the bedroom windows have upper
panels of stained glass in which so
many modern houses abound, the
green shades should be set so as to
cover these also, as an exceedingly
unpleasant glare pours down from
them, very trying to eyes which are
trained to sleep in darkness as COM
plete as possible.

Where Europe and Asia Join.

About 165 miles from Perm, in dense

and soon after passing a signpost, like
q little Eifel tower, with Europe in

other, the train comes to "Asia -
Europe and ASIA are two smart
little stations surrounded by frs and
birches, but standing each in a little
green field full Of buttercups. The frs

extensive forests through which the line
passes, and here and there the dark
masses are relieved by groups of light
green birches.

First to Wear the Kilt.

The first refC&enCe to highland COS
tune occurs in the saga of Magnus
Barefoot, king of Norway, 1093-1103,
written by Snorre Sturluson, who was
reared with the children of that mon
arch's daughter Here it is stated that
MagnuS and his men, OH their return
from marauding expedition to the
west Of Scotland, brought with them a
great deal Of the habits and fashions of
clothing of these western parts. They
went about the streets with bare legs
and had short kirtles and overcloaks
and therefore his men called him Mag
nus Barefoot, or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like first reference to
Ectual tartans in the statutes of the
church OF Aberdeen, which provide that
all ecclcsiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg.
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar, = which occurs i'll the fifteenth
century IN the accounts Of the lord
high treasurer of Scotland, which was
regarded by both Bor1hwiclz and Pink
erton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickens, q

GIVE BLACK A REST.

A physician recently advised wo-
man who had been wearing black for
a number of years, and who was not
in good health, to dress in lighter col
ors. He illustrated his meaning by
telling her to cover two plants, one
with black, the other with light color
ed cloth, and after awhile to observe
the difference in their appearance.
The plant covered with black would
be pale and sickly, while the other
|was fiourisbing and green. There has
been prevailing idea that for street
costume nothing is in as good taste as
black or very dark blue, which is al
most black. Undoubtedly the more
huiet and unobtrusive a street cos
ume is the better it suits the refined
|aste, but there are quiet, pretty
hades of brown, fawn and gray, and
Sther shades of blue than the dark
st, which, in summer particularly,
make a better walking or street dress
han dark colors, as the dust does not
how so quickly on them; also these
plors not only look cooler, but one
ealIy feels cooler in them.

'WHALERs COMING TO WALL STREET.
In Millville Threats Are Made to Drive
Them Out Of Town.

MII.LVILLE, Sept. 10. - Carl Browne,
with his fifty tramps, arrived here to-
day and pitched their tents in West Mill
vile. He met with cool reception, and
in one OF the towns below this city the
citizens threw rotten eggs at his crowd.
Browne was indignant and a fight en-
sued. Browne now wears a striped
shirt, which he says the whole army will
wear before making the march up Wall
street. The reason, he said, for wearing
these shirts Is because the Maryland au-
thorities compel the Commonwealers
who were sent to the House of CorreC-
ton to wear them.
Browne said that after the campaign
in South Jersey he would march his
army up Wall street to see II the cobbles
were as sacred as the grass around
the Capitol Browne and John Wilcox,
who, with his wife, Is now making a
tour with the army, made speeches be-
fore a large crowd this evening. They
condemned the platforms of the Demo
cratic and Republican parties. and es-
peclally the representatives, from this
district. This caused considerable com

heard on all sides. The politicians are
