May.

May is not, as a rule, a pleasant
month. 1t is a transition stage. 1t is
a month which keeps you wondering
from day to day whether it is safe to
get into summer clothing yet and, the
change being once made, you have no
more doubt in the matter, for you come
home in a snow storm. 1t is a month
of budding hawthorn and threatening
influenza, of cuckoos and catarrhs, of
May-poles and mustard plasters.

AS the Kinau was hauling away from
her wharf yesterday morning, Jack
Waibel and Bert Peterson bobbed up
serenely on deck. Of course, their
friends on shore thought nothing of
this, as they might have been taking a
run to Lahaina on business but the
sudden disappearance of blood from
Waibel's face gave the lie to any such
conclusion. He ran up and down the
decks excitedly, in search of something
that could get him ashore. Bert Peter
son took the thing philosophically and
waved a goodbye with his pocket
handkerchief, as if he were really go
ing. When Captain Clarke learned of
the dilemma of the young men, he
Unanswered around until the attention
of boat boy was attracted. The boat
went alongside, and the young men
jumped in, but they didn't go back to
the Kinau wharf. Bert said that in
case a boat did not come for him, it
was his intention to jump overheard
and swim to the lighthouse.

PIGEON POINTS.
characteristics of Thoroughbred
Carrier Pigeons.

The peculiar faculty that enables a
pigeon to return to it's home from great
distances is a point about which author
tiles disagree. The theory which is most
widely accepted is that the bird is
gifted with remarkable eyesight and
with a memory for landmarks superior
to that of any other creature. The
former theory that the birds were guild
ed exclusively by instinct seems dis
proved by the frequency with which
even the best trained and highest bred
homers have been lost in fogs. During
the recent Poultry Show, when several
of the pigeon fanciers were interviewed
on the rearing and training of homing
pigeons, one of varied experience said:
Instinct is unerring, and the fact that
the homing pigeon not only frequently
errs but at times shows great INDIGESTION
as to the route it will take proves con-
clusively that it is not governed entirely
by instinct. There is no doubt that the
birds POSSESS a high order of intelligence,
which is often shown when they become
lost in a race by their return to the
room in which they have been kept at
the starting point.

but the rule in breeding is to cross the
colors when practicable. In selecting
