The nishop and His Bun.

The bishop of Worchester, England,
once had occasion to travel through
Banbury by rail. Being desirous to
test and at the same time to encourage
the far-famed industry of that town,
and the train having stopped for short
time at the station, he beckoned to a
small boy standing near at hand and in
quired the price of the celebrated buns.
"Threepence each," said the boy. The
bishop thereupon handed his sixpence
and desired him to bring one to the car,
adding: "And with the other three
pence you may buy one for yourself"
The boy shortly returned, complacent-
ly munching his Banbury, and, handing
the threepence in coppers to the bishop,
exclaimed: "There was only one left,

CARRIER PIGEONS.
How They Are Trained for Use In the
United States Navy.

HOW Tney Are Trained Tor Use In the
United States Navy.
The training of the carrier pigeons for
use in the United States navy is one of
the interesting sights of the Brooklyn
navy yard. On July /, 1896, 16 pairs of
brooding pigeons were there introduced
and domiciled in pigeon cote, and
since that time breeding and training
the birds has been the work of Mr.. How
ard Carter. At present there are 100
pigeons under his care, 60 of which are
in constant training. When one month
old their education begins. They are
removed from the lower to the upper
part of the cote, and drilled to pass
through the bob wires in its trap. When
they have learned to push these thick
wires aside readily, in order to enter
the trap, that no valuable time may be
lost in catching them to secure a mes
sage, they are ready for the next series
Of drills. These are intended to develop
their powers of sustaining themselves
in the air. A white flag attached to
lcng pole is huttered among the birds,
and keeps them circling around for
a half hour or more. AT the end of two
months they are given their first "fy."
They are conveyed to Governors island
in a closed basket, and are flown from
there; next from Staten Island, the
Narrows, Mono, N. j.; Atlantic City, and
Cape May, in turn. Each time mes
sage in an aluminium holder, weighing
eight grains, is attached to each leg,
and secured Immediately on its arrival
at the cote. The birds now in training
are all of last springs Matching. Their
greatest speed is SO miles per hour,
The average speed from 30 to so miles,
Their longest flight covered distance
of 145 miles in four hours and 5S min.

MocKRlDaE SAVED THE DAY.
HIS Transportation Feat More At
trnctive Than His Singing.

Whitney Mockridge, thenoted tenor, was
once taking a troupe of singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns in the middle west and northwest.
The troupe also included violinist and
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
st. Louis, town on the Mississippi river.
From there they expected to take train for
Sedalia, a hourishing town in the interior.
But to Mockridge's dismay, there was no
train which would take him to Sedalia in
Missouri Pacific railroad were sorry, but
it could not be helped. Mockridge tele-
graphed ahead to his agent to see if the
concert could not be postponed. "Impos-
sible," was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency.
He groped down in his broadcloth and ex-
tracted roll of large, potent bills, currency
of the realm. These he waved in the coun-
tenances of the railroad people and demand
ed a locomotive, a special car for his troupe
and clear track as far as Sedalia. Money
talked and he got the train and the right of
way. He telegraphed to the anxious agent:
Eve are coming, Father Abraham. 10000
strong. Meet us at the depot with band
The news spread through the town and q
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the l78 miles between st. Louis
and Sedalia as hungry tramp eats piece
of huckleberry pie. The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot was
madly enthusiastic when the train leaped
into town, and there was crowd at the
concert. To hear the singing? Oh, no. Tc

harvesting weedx Potatoes.

That sins of neglect will follow
q man until he is duly punished is never
more conclusively proven than when
the neglected potato field comes to be
harvested. Not only is the crop greatly
lessened, but the labor of harvesting
has been increased. AS a matter Of
fact, the farmer who can and does keep
his potatoes free from weeds saves la
Dor by the operation. Sooner or later
the weeds have to be uprooted. It costs
less to do this while they are small. If
done then the yield of marketable tu-
bers is so much increased and the ex-
pense of harvesting is decreased, so
that it really costs less to harvest
large crop kept free from weeds than
to harvest crop failure made SO be-
cause overrun with weeds.

LETTUCE GROWN IN A POT.

roots soon fill the pot and grow out into
the soil of the bench through the drain
age hole in the bottom of the pot. Be-
ing thus buried in the soil the little pots
do not dry out as rapidly as they would
do were they exposed to the air
The moment pot is removed from
i the bench another may be set in its
place without waiting to clear the
bench, or any portion of it, of the rest
OF the lettuce. The method thus proves
economical, both of time and space.
Grocers and other retail dealers readi-
ly appreciate the advantage of having
lettuce grown in this way. 1t permits
them to keep the lettuce on hand for a
considerable length of time and still
present it to their customers crisp,
fresh and attractive, instead of wilted
and unattractive.
When the plant is ready for market
IT may be knocked out of the pot and
the ball of earth and roots undisturbed
may be wrapped sungly in old paper.
The earth will thus keep moist for a
long time and furnish moisture to the
plants through the roots which are i'm.
bedded in it. Local customers may be
supplied with lettuce in the pots, and
the pots returned after the plants are
taken from them.
While the subject of forcing is thus
under consideration, few hints on the
care of crop may not be amiss. ~
The temperature should be kept down
to from so to 60 degrees during the day
and from As to so degrees during the

Elephant Would Not Neglect the
Baby 1t Was Caring For.
Marie A. Millie, in st. Nicholas, tells
O number of "Stories of Elephants"
Mrs. Millie says:
Some time before the elephant hunt
/ have described, my husband was at a
station in Bengal. His work kept him
out nearly all day, and, being i'll, l
used to lie for hours in long garden
chair on the veranda, too weak to read,
or enjoy any more exciting amusement
than my eyes supplied to me.
We had three elephants for our tents
and baggage; and one dear creature
used to feed from my hands every day,
and seemed as gentle as any pet dog or
cat.
One of our government chaprasis was
particularly devoted to her, and in
yariably shared his meal of fruit or
flour cakes with his dumb friend. On a
particularly hot day, the chaprasi, to
my surprise, placed his tiny child Of
six months at the elephants feet, warn
ing her expressively that the infant was
in her charge, and was to be cared for
till his return. l myself was an eye
witness OF her wonderful sagacity.
Large banana trees and fig trees grew
Ground, and, to my surprise, the eie-
phant broke off one of the formers

her trunk, and from time to time grace
fully waved it over the slumbering
child, whether to temper the heat of
the atmosphere or to keep off flies, l
am unable to say. The gentle way in
which she moved her feet over the
child, and across to each side, astounded
me. l sent for white loaf and some
oranges, and calling her by name (she
was never chained), tried in vain to
tempt her to my side on the low veranda

porsy blowing Her Horns.

A little four-year-old was taken on
visit to grandmamma in the country.
There, for the first time, he had a near
view of a COW. He would stand and look
on while the man MIXED and ask all
manner of questions. In this way he
learned that the long crooked branches
on the cows head were called horns.
Now the little fellow knew of only one
kind of horn and few days after OBJ
tanning this information, hearing a
strange kind of believing noise in the
yard, he ran out to ascertain its cause.
In few minutes he returned, with
wonder and delight depicted on his
countenance, exclaiming: Mamma,
mamma! Oh, do come out here! The
cows blowing her horns!"-Chicago

The marquis of Lorne, when governor
general of Canada, was present at some
sports held on the ice of the St. Law
renee. Though wrapped in furs, he felt
the cold acutely, and was astonished
tc see an Indian meandering around
bare-legged and enveloped only in 4
blanket. He asked the Indian how he
managed to bear such temperature.
"Why you no cover your face?" asked
the Indian, sharply. The marquis re-
piled that no one ever did so, and that
his face was hardy from exposure.

spider, the door of which fits so close
ly that it is perfectly watertight. The
nest, or WE'LL is generally made in the
earth for distance of from six inches
to nearly foot, the excavation being
carried on usually at night. AS the
nest progresses the sides are some
times lined with silk, evidently to pre-

largest of the spiders-a huge, hairy
monster which in some instances, when
placed in saucer of average size, will
almost fill it, the hairy claws or legs
reaching to the edge. The burrow is
