When the Seasons Change.

From the Youths Companion.
The Emperor of China has some strange
duties. One of these is the ordering of the
seasons. 1t is summer in America when the
sun warns the earth, and not till then, but
in China 1t is summer when the emperor
says it is summer.
AS soon as the emperor declares that sum-
mer has come everybody in China puts off
winter clothing and arrays himself in sum-
mer garb, no matter what his feelings say
on the subject. All domestic arrangements
are made TO suit the season, as proclaimed
by the emperor, although they may not suit
the individual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chinese Gus
tom of ordering the seasons is the practice
observed in France in all public buildings
There it is winter and after october i.
Fires are then lighted in all government Of
fees, and the servants exchange their white
summer waistcoats for the thicker and
darker ones of winter.
AT that date the public libraries are closed
at 4, and in the streets the sellers of roasted
chestnuts make their appearance In Off
cial France it is winter, no matter what the
weather may say and no matter what I'M
official France may think.

H0MING SENSE IN PIGEONS,
Interesting Results From a Series of
Experiments With the Birds.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
well-known breeder of pigeons has been
experimenting to find out how these birds
are able to reach their homes safely after
being released many miles away In the
first experiment a blind pigeon was taken
into an open field about ten minutes dis
lance from the loft and there released. The
bird, evidently bewildered, flew straight up
into the air. and when it reached a con-
siderable height, wheeled around for some
minutes, finally going in direction directly
opposite to its home. 1t was never seen
again. On another day when the weather
was cold and calm and snow covered the
ground and the roofs of the houses six
pigeons were taken about twenty miles
from their loft in a southerly direction and
were set free ABOUT 10 o'clock in the morn
ing. They all mounted to a great height
and flew round ana round for awhile, evil
IDENTIFY looking for signs of home. Finally,
two struck the right direction, third flew
to a strange loft and the three others re-
turned to the spot where they were re-
leased. 1t was noon the following day be-
fore the two that had pointed for home re-
turned to their loft. They were very tired.
Next day two others came home, almost
dead from hunger. The fifth remained in
its new home and the sixth disappeared.
After this, strong and experienced birds
were released on foggy day about twenty
miles from their loft One flew out to the
westward instead OF going straight for
home by northerly line and arrived in
three hours and twenty-five minutes Two
others took four hours and the rest did not
reach the loft until much later and after
the fog had melted away. The same ten
pigeons were released few days later at
the same place, the weather being clear
and the wind favorable. and almost all re-
turned to the loft within forty-fiye minutes
On dark night when strong north wind
was blowing five birds were set free about
mile away and an a southerly direction.
Not one came home during the night four
returned in the morning and the fifth never
came back. In the final experiment six old
birds were released in the dark first at 500
yards from the loft, then at three-fourths
of mile and finally at mile and a half
Each time they quickly and easily found

POWER OF WATER.
Hole Bored in Bluff by a Stream

From Hose.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
A little group of solid citizens was stand

take hold Of
They played the stream against a big

TWIN CHICKENS,
A Queer Case Reported From a Farm
i'm Massachusetts.

FROM the Boston Transcript
A rather unusual sight was witnessed re-
Gently during visit to a poultry farm
near the Heart of the Commonwealth"
Two chickens from the same egg are here
and as they have already lived five weeks
and are apparently as well as any of the
others, the chances are that they will
grow UP and become healthful members
OF poultry society. The owner says he has
already received an offer of SIS for the
pair, but prefers to keep the chickens His
attention was called to them first when
he saw two bills trying to break out
through the shell. The egg containing the
twins was carried into the house, the shell
was carefully removed and the two infant
chickens were given the first sight of the
world. They were wrapped up in cotton
batting and were placed in the oven of
the Kitchen stove and kept there for some
time.
For the first three weeks they were not
allowed TO go out of doors, and were fed
on matted milk and brandy served to them
liom a medlclne dropper. The little fell
lows are now strong and able to look after
themselves and run about in a large yard
with 100 or more of their relatives.
One popularity about these chickens,
who, by the way, are of the variety known
as buff brahmas. is their extreme eXclu-
siveness. They have nothing whatever to
do with the others and are constantly to-
gether. Where one is seen, the other is
sure TO be within foot two of it. If
one of them is picked up, or separated
fl ON the other, both start in calling to
each other, and keep this up until the one
which has been taken up has been placed
on the ground. Then they Immediately
Join forces and start off on a foraging
trip.
The owner Of this remarkable pair of
chickens says that he has written to the
publishers Of two poultry magazines and
has received word that he mas been partic
ularly fortunate ia keeping these twins
alive as long as he has. Instances of two
chickens from one egg have been reported
before, but it has never been proved so it
is said, that they lived more than seven or
eight days.
