Live pigeon shooting from traps win
never become generally popular in this
country because II is doubtful If there
is any form of so-called sport which
offers so little amusement for so large
a price. II is cheaper TO keep sad
die horse and a pair Of trotters the
year round than to indulge in pigeon
shooting 10 any great extent The
well-known pigeon clubs In the vicin-
ity of New York sell birds 10 their
members for thlrty-iive cents apiece,
and besides this cost the sportsman
must pay for his cartridges. fee the
men who manipulate the traps. and
provide himself with refreshments.
If bets are made-and rhere are
many who seek to recoup themselves
In this way-the expense is likely to
be much greater. In England and on
the Continent there are great many
men who are said to make a good
living out of pigeon shooting by means
of bets made on the matches In which
they take part themselves, but here
such a means of existence would be
looked upon as precarious to say
the least.
The birds are supplied TO the club
members at about their original cost
profit is made through their natural
increase, AZ weal as by the sale OF the
dead birds at S1.20 dozen and by
the returning of those pigeons which
escape unhurt to the barn from which
they came The number Of pigeons
killed during brisk season at the
different clubs in the vicinity of New
York is very large.

Hypnotism.

''There has been a great deal Of

very abstTuse," said an Arch street
physician. I'm fact, 1t is an every
day phase of mental abstraction
Any one may hypnotize himself in Il
few minutes by closing his eyes, di-
recting them inward and downward,
and then, imagining his breath to be
vapOr, watching it's inhalation and ex-
pulsion from the nostrils. Babies in
variably look ross-eyed before going

The Busy Bee.

Careful weighing shows that an or
binary bee, not loaded, weighs the
one five-thousandth part of pound,
so that it takes 5000 bees, not loaded,
to make pound. But the loaded bee.
when he comes in fresh from the fields
and flowers, loaded with honey or bee
bread, weighs nearly three times more
that Is TO say he carries nearly
twice his own weight. OF loaded bees
there are only about 1,S00 in the
pound An ordinary hive of bees con-
tains from four TO five pounds of bees,
or between 10000 and 25.OO0 individ-
uals, but some swarms have double
