PIGEONS OF LONDON.

Of all the common sights of London none is more interesting than its pi- geons, which bring a suggestion of old-world stateliness into the turmoil of the city. There is particular flock for most all the big buildings of Lon- don, and they are to be found all over the city. A curious fact observed is huge building have nothing to do with those on the west side, while the bird residents of the north and south sides keep quite as much to themselves.
 The birds live a glorious life, for everybody pets them. The judges of the law courts feed the pigeons, not scraps, but grain and such things as birds like. Dozens of clerks in the law yers' offices scatter food for the birds daily in Kings Bench walk, while the keeper of coffee house religiously brings bits of broken bread for his feathered friends.
 One of the prettiest sights is to see the pigeons which live on the British museum. There are half dozen read CTS who make practice of feeding the birds and the pigeons will abandon strangers who come with full hands for their old friends, even when they appear without food. The cabmen are great friends of the pigeons, which seem to realize these men are good friends to cultivate, for rarely is there one who will not scatter a handful of grain from the horses nosebags

l was never mixed up with snug gling transaction but once in my life,
 said a New Orleans business man,
 whose name may as well be left out,
 and my experience was so painful that I swore off then and there. I had a deal in West Texas on hand at the time and had made short trip over the Mexican frontier, during which I picked up a handful of very fine opals.
 A wicked friend showed me how easy it was to carry them over the line with out paying tribute to Uncle Sam, and
 l was weak enough to yield to the temptation. When I got on the cars at El Paso, however, to come east to Dallas l was haunted by guilty con- science and had a horrible premoni- tion that some secret service officer
 was on my track. Presently my at tention became attracted by a man with a black beard, who kept looking at me furtively from a seat across the
 way. l tried to persuade myself that it was all imagination, but number of things occurred during that ride that satisfied me 1 was really being watched. I went into the smoker, for instance, and before long caught a glimpse of the black beared chap peer ing through the end of the window from the platform. It was the same in the dining car, and, to make a long story short reached Dallas thoroughly unstrung That evening I began to think l had shaken the fellow off my track, when I happened to stroll out of the hotel, and there he was, stand ing behind a pillar. Needless to say, I didn't sleep a wink, and when bumped into the sleuth next morning and saw that he had shaved off his beard I gave myself up for lost. How
 ever, that was the last of him, and
 for the. balance of my stay I was un- molested and gradually regained my
 equanimity. That the man had been shadowing me was undeniable, but what his purpose could have been and
 why he dropped the game 50 abrupt ly were mysteries which I was forced to leave unsolved. It was two years
 before I found out. Then I ran across 
 the man one day by accident in a St.
 Louis restaurant and he owned up
 It seems that he had been public of ficial in a small Texas town, and got mixed up in his accounts. He sWore to me that it was only bad bookkeep- ing, but the grand jury indicted him for emb" zzlement, and he skipped un- til things caImed down I haDDened to coincide with description he had of detective, and all his strange moves were actuated by exactly the same mo- tive that prompted me to run-name- ly, to see whether he was bclng watch ed. We were both fooled by our fears
 Ills affairs had since been settled up and we enjoyed good laugh and a cold bottle together. But I am re- formed smuggler for life."

A Natural Hallway Tunnel.

One of the most remarkable tun- nels in the world is the natural rail- way tunnel on the line of the South Atlantic and Ohio railway, in Scott county, Virginia. The railway appar- ently, and in fact, enters natural cave or grotto and disappears in the heart of the mountain. The entrance to the cavern is about fifty feet square. Inside of it the railway runs through a series of chambers for about l,ooo feet, when it emerges from the other side of the mountain. The caye-tun- nel is all in limestone. It serves not only as natural railway tunnel, put also as a channel for small stream known as Stock creek. Virginia also possessesa natural bridge over one or the afIluents of the James river, about twenty-five miles nothwest of Lynch burg, which is noted for it's beauty.

EnveloDes Passe.

Among the ultra fashionables of New York, the mucilaged envelope has sue- cumbsd to sealing wax, waters, and folded paper. This necessitates writ ing on a big sheet, and it also requires some deftness in the folding of the r 9er. Of course, the manufacturers
 always ahead of the styles, and LOT that reason the daintiest little wal ers can be found to match the envel- opes-for that is the strictly correct point to be observed about the fad.
