Trained Pigeons.

Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, a mile the second, two miles
the third, and so on, doubling the dis
tance each time 1t must be liberated
each time only in the same direction as
to its loft, for a bird can be trained
along only one route at a time. When
40 miles have been reached, a week
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for young birds first year.
So essential is the training that old
birds are taken only two miles out for
the first lesson of a season, though they
may have flown their 250 miles the
year preceding The end of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, be
crowned by the accomplishment of a
400 mile flight. AS you get higher in
the scale of distance, longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt

may possess some superior qualities for
such service there are, on the other
hand, such drawbacks as make it GER
tain that they would never be accept
able to the majority of men who would
have to be served by them. He says:
81 think the objection to them would
be based chiefly on the fact that they
never show especial attention to any
person. l never knew woman who
waited on a man to trouble herself in
the least about the manner IN which
she served him. 1t makes absolutely no
difference whether they receive lSeral

The Nose Lasts Longest.

Bone and cartilage enter so largely
into the structure Of the nose and de
termine its characteristics that it un-
dergoes little perceptible change, as
rule, with the lapse of years. The brow
becomes wrin1led, and crows feet
gather round the eyes, which them
selves gradually grow dim as time rolls
ON. Cheeks lose the bloom which cos
metics cannot replace and lips their
fullneSs and color.
The chin, dimpled in youth, develops
angularities or globularities, as the
case may be, and the eyebrows become
heavy with the crop of many years
growth. The nose shows no mark COM
parable to these familiar facial indica-
tiOns of the approach of old age and
practically enjoys immunity from the
ravages which time makes on the other
features of the face. Next to the nose,
probably the ears, as a rule, show the
fewest and least obvious signs of old
age.

mo BOXES SOLD HERE"
A Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations.


"No Boxes Sold Here is the sign
that hangs in one of the principal
jewelry establishments ia the city. The
sign made its appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
the best establishment in the city. Sim
liar attempts are made at the we'll
known glass and china shops at one of
the we'll known French confectiOners
and at all of the establishments which
have made a reputation III some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap-
plications with the words of the sign,
mo Boxes Sold Here" but there are
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and are quite Indifferent to what be-
comes of them so long as they get their
rather high prices for the empty boxes
bearing the name of the firm. Similar
Indifference is shown by a well known
English pickle factory, which allows
its labels to be sold here and pasted
over any sort of stuff that the pur-
chaser Of them happens to concoct.-
