There is one large pen of this variety head
ed by John l.. Sullivan, a mammoth bird
with an evil eye and a crow that makes the
welkin ring. These birds are so black that
they have a greenish cast and the greener
the cast the higher the grade of excellence
The class of bantams is We'll filled. There
are representatives Of every variety of these
dainty little fellows, who are bred only
for show, possessing no other qualifca-
tons. They are really the daintiest of the
farm yard products and attract no end of
interest from the ladies.
Game Variety.
The game variety look for all the world
like King Ortolan, with their small COM
pact bodies, well-poised heads and long
lanky legs, suggesting the family of wading
game birds. There are black breasted
games, with their jet black vests fringed
with coat of red; the brown breasted fell
lows, which are all the style; the birchen
games. with their delicate white pencilings
over a coat of black, and the silver duck
wing bantams, with small wings laced with
silver.
The progenitors of the game bantams-
the regular game-are represented by near
ly half hundred birds. There are Indian
games, with black bodies and cruel beaks
and long necks and longer legs, resembling
a turkey buZzard. These are not the fight
ers-they are known as the pit games-and
there are number of excellent specimens
ON hand, trimmed and ready for business
You don't want to be too inquisitive with
these fowls and they do not appreciate a
gentle stroking. They are looking for
trouble all the time, and are prone to mis-
take kindness. They will snap their
small heads through the bars and nip your
~hand without warning and then Justify
crow at you.
Near the door as you enter the hall is
a cage or two of "Silkys." They are said
to be particular breed. raised for show
purposes only. They are we'll named Their
feathers are so soft and fine that you want
to stroke their downy backs. They would
furnish the best kind Of material for a
ladies' boa.
In a cage near by are several specimens
Of "Frizzles." They, too, are well named,
for their appearance suggests a plate of
frizzled beef. They are white in color, with
their feathers all turned the wrong way
They present ludicrous spectacle Even

Judging. Competition in every class was
lively, and in several instances the judges
had to examine with great minuteneSS to
select the blue ribboner.
Before the opening the owners were busy
putting the finishing touches upon their
birds. Disordered feathers We're neatly
smoothed out, the legs were thoroughly

Points Considered.
All birds are not judged by the same
standard. What is considered a mark of
excellence in a Cochin would disqualify a
Plymouth Rock. Size, shape, color, mark
ings, length of legs, bills, combs and a
hundred other things are taken into consid-

HAVANA, May 24.-General Maxine
Gomez has received u telegram from
General Sanchez, i'm Santiago province
saying: Division will not accept mon
ey."
He has replied: will use every effort
compatible with dignity and honor"
The Havana papers consider this an
swer eVasiVe, and the Cubans generally,
especially those belonging to the fight
ing divisions, which are chiefly West
erners, say that most of the soldiers
will accept the money, as $75 apiece is
better than nothing. Probably there will
be a large attendance on the first pay
ment, as well as upon those that follow.
A member of the staff of Gomez said
today that not more than twenty per
cent would refuse when the money was
actually in sight
The Sanguillys, Lacret Vidal, Mayia,
Rodriguez and all the late members of
the Cuban Military Assembly, aided by
the opposition newspapers, are advising
the Cuban soldiers not to give up their
arms-not to sell the souvenirs of the
struggle for liberty, and not Ito part
with honor for $75."
1t is pointed out that even Gomez in
his proclamation. counseled the soldiers
to go home with or without money.
General Brooke, of course, will pro-
coed with his program without needing
the opposition.
The military inquirers into the matter
have lost all confidence in the rolls pre-
pared by the Cuban Military Assembly
Hence if $4,000 or 10000 men appear for

leans will be satisfied, but the dissidents

PIGEON HOUSE AND YARD.

most desirable accompaniments to
rural life.
Where pigeons are kept 1t is too
often the practice to house them in
some low loft under the caves, where
it is inconvenient to visit them and
where the birds often suffer neglect.
If possible it is better to have quarters
upon the ground floor and preferably
in a separate building. The pigeon
house may well be made an ornament
to the place. With this idea in view the
accompanying illustrtion is given.
This represents a small and mex
pensive house built in attractive lines
and thoroughly suited to the purpose
for which it is intended. A small hall
way runs through the center, giving ac-
cess to commodious room on each
side. A flight" on either end of the
house opens out from these two lofts.
Such a little house, stained and COW
cred with vines, will make very at
tractive addition to any country place,
and will do much toward getting the
children in love with country life and
interested in the companionship of an
finals. Such result will prove bene-
fetal in always, and the influence will
remain a lasting impression through
life.--American Agriculturist.
