Homing Pigeons.

When pigeons were to be sent back
and forth, it has been usuahto keep two
sets, with their respective homes at
either end Of the course, and when they
have reached their homes to carry them
back to the places from which they are
to be dispatched. An ingenious process
has been devised to overcome this diff
Guilty and cause the birds to fly with
equal certainty il both directions. Pr
geons, for example, whose home is in
Paris are confined for several days at
st. Denis and fed there at a stated hour
every day with some favorite food which
is not given them at their real home,
They become in the course Of time IA
miliar with their new home and its
choice dishes. When set at liberty, they
start off at once for Paris without for
getting the good things they enjoyed at
St. Denis. When they are to be sent
back, they are made to fast q little
while, and arc then let loose at about
feeding time at St. Denis. They 60
thither, and, when they have their own
way, time their going so as to be there
at the exact moment of feeding. Birds
have thus been taught to fly back and
forth regularly between places 80 miles

The Whaling Industry.

The trials and fluctuations of tho
whaling industry defy the meager JUS
tice which the resources Of a single par
agraph affords A volume might cover
the subject. The difficulty about whal-
ing is the uncertainty of whales. These
mammals decline to be regulated by any
signal service reporter and refuse in
their migrations to respect precedent or
the ambitions of the arctic oil works.
The Consequence is skipper may cruise

dangering life and limb III NANCY old

wave and Eskimo, and all without sight
ing q spout or capturing yard of whale
bone. / listened recently to the mourn
full "reminiscences of Captain Green, q
hardy mariner Of much experience, who
after many years Of laboring at the oil
industry rethod to raisin ranch at
Fresno. Owing to the decline Of raisins,
however, he took to the ocean again,
euipped vessel and sailed into the lat
itudes of winter. There he found an an
tique steam JThaler, the Reindeer, and
for two long and weary years they have
kept each other company in the close
knit sisterhood Of misfortune. Once dur
ing the second year they sighted q
whale, and Captain Green encompassed
its capture. A bowhead it was, and no
great prize. firing Of cold, salt and Ill
luck, the twain decided at last to go
south for rest and provisions. They
started together, when something broke
on the Reindeer, and she was condemn
ed to delay until the damage might bc
repaired. How the gallant skipper
cursed the misfortune which detained
him among the icebergs How he rallied
at fate! Two days later q school or
whales hove in sight The captain and
crew dashed upon them and in four
hours had killed dozen giants, which
meant at ruling prices at least $4,000

Life In a London Shop.

Assistants who consult their own
interests will refrain from talking about
their salaries. /" Such is notice posted
up in the dining and recreation rooms
Of large drapery establishment in Lon
don. The evidence is unimpeachable,
for it is that of Miss Collet, one of the
assistant commissioners of the labor
commission. Two things might be de-
duced from the possibility of such no
tice existing. One is what a vast mar
ket of unemployed assistants there must
be to draw from, and how hard it must
be to get situation, if men submit to
be silent on the subject Of their griev-
ances, which even the fellahin of Egypt
are not debarred from airing. The song
which they sing in the very ears of their
taskmasters is anent their cruel treat
ment and scanty wage. Another thing
that notice testifies to is that the life of
shop assistants must be duller than one
thought. Think Of their standing from
morning till night, with their tranquil
air Of politeness unrUified By the fidgets
and fuss of thoughtlcss customers, not
daring to stretch or yawn as a relief to
the nalneless WEAKNESS of the stuffy
shop, and the long day, and the gas,
and the crowds Of new and unsympa-
thetic faces, the taking out and putting
back of endless things, not permitted to
speak to one another without risk of q
fine lit is rs. Cd. in some shops), and
then to think eAey are not allowed that
solace of every Englishman in all his
troubles-viz, to grumble! Life i'll a
mine must be easy, life in a factor
bliss, life in kitchen liberty, compared
to life in London shop or showroom -
