Big House Rents in London.

Pretty nearly everybody understands,
of course, that house rents ARE very con-
siderably greater in London than they
are in provincial towns, and that in the
metropolis they vary greatly, and are
very stiff in the regions in which society
hovers. But a writer i'll Tit-Bits ven
lures to think that even few Londoners
have much idea of the enormous figures
paid for the rentals of fashiona bic
houses in Belgravia and Mayfair, or real
ize how few square yards of the west
end it takes to produce |, million sterling
i'll this way.
Now. take, to start with, Park lane,
that highlyfashionable thoroughfare It
is rather staggering to learn that $4,000
Il year is really not at all very extrava-
quarter! The plain, simple fact Of the
matter is, however, that you cannot get
a decent house here for less than SIS
600, and even such one would only
have three or four bedrooms, and, gener-
ally speaking, would not have greater ac-
commodations than house at $3.50 or
$500 year in the suburbs, or at half
| that price in provincial town.
GrosvenOr square and Berkeley square
! are renowned headquarters of society,
which pays astonishingly for it's resi-
dence there
Consider the former first. The whole
square comprises fewer than sixty
HOUSES, UuL IL IL Il 1dCl tIdC lnelr COM
bined annual rental is about $75O,OOO!
Big as the rents are. getting a house
here is a matter Of great difficulty. and
seldom is there one to let for long, Moth
| ing can be got for less than $4,000 a
| year, and from this figure an intending
tenant may go up to $4,000 a year.
Berkeley square is likewise difficult to
| get into. 1t is rather old-fashicned and
severe. and the average man or woman
| from the country might not be able to see
| anything about the houses which would
justify Il heavy drain being made upon a
tenants pocket. But, all the same,
houses here are always at premium,
and you will not get much Of u residence
for $500 a year, nor yet, so far as that
| goes, is the accommodation very aston
ishing if $4,000 a year is paid.
st. James square is another ultra-fasll-
have to wait years to get into if he de-
sired to live ther-$15 900 or $4,000 a
year is quite a moderate rent for house
so situated-while Norfolk house, where
| the Duke Of Norfolk resides, and such
Others as Lord Derby's residence at No.
| 3d. would easily realize $4,000 year in
| rent. Re-.
Carlton House terrace, where, states
| men and ambassadors live, also costs it's
tenants dearly. At least $4,000 a year
must be paid for anything good in this
particular neighborhood, and Mr. Astor
gave more than 100000 when he pur-
chased one of the houses in the terrace,
formerly occupied by, Lord Granville.
Yet the ordinary man would remark that
the houses are not even semi-detached,
are far from imposing.-New York Her

Pigeons of Pekinp

In st. Nicholas Alfred D. Sheffield tells
about the pigeons of Picking. The Chi
nese have made pigeon-hying the decoy-
ing game that it is because they like
any KIND OF playing for keeps Even
IN kite flying, they fix little hooks to their
k1te-strlngs and try to pull in each 9th
ets Kites, and count it fair to keep any
Kite that drops into their yards. They
VII tel you that kite Or strange
up, takes away your family luck.7 So
you must tear the kite and keep the pig

d!es sauntering out with their fans, and
pro cages to watch the noon kite-hying.
cr-tlclsing their focks and their tactics,
ana arguing the fine points of decoying,
you guess that ''family luck" has very
little to do with their game.
10 decoy strange pigeons, pigeon keep
ers must first train their flocks to '.Ay in
splrals,-that is. to rise steadily in cir
clcs without straying far from the home
roof. Pigeons naturally fly together in
circles. Even wild pigeons wheel about
IN Hooks before struggling off to the
fields: Chinese make their birds eager
Tor clrclng by keeping them shut up in
a wicker house built on the ground
around the dove cote; and they cure their
birds OF struggling by pelting them with
pebbles when they try to alight anywhere
except on enc spot-the ridge-pole of the
roof facing their wicker house. The
flock must alight here in a bunch, and
Immediately walk down to the caves.
This rs done to bring any strange pigeon
among them down within sight Of the
gra H., which is then scattered on the
floor OF the wicker house. Pigeons are
fed only after flying, for unless hungry
they are lazy and unmanageable. Their
food is millet, sorghum seed, or corn,
which their keepers use, to get as much
work from them as possible, for as little
feeding as possible When there is much
flying and calling dOwnSto do, they are
usually fed with millet, which is so small
that il. keeEs them eating for long
while without feeding them At other
times their food is sorghum seed Corn
is not very good for pigeons, but they are
so fond Of it that pigeon keepers usually
have it OH hand to call them down when
they are already fed. 5 e zES..a :.s &

HOUSEHOLD DECORATION.


The early months of the year bring
MANY novelties in household decoration
into the market. This season has a num-
Der of new and artistic designs in almost
every branch of homemakiny art.
There is an indication that color in
fine muslin window curtains will be seen
in the spring goods, as the public taste is
undergoing radical change in many re-
spects. The faded effects in carpet, up
sidered ''retined'' for long time are now
regarded by persons of good taste as
"characterless,' and touches of pro-
nounced color are demanded to relieve
the dizziness Of emasculated pinks and
blues.
1t is quite probable that this change
is the direct result of training in the
oriental ,''cozy corner idea. Colored
madras. therefore. is again in the mar
ket. and some enterprising manufacture
ers are making cretonnes and prints
OF heavy texture in East Indian designs.
Daghestan cloth, double-faced cotton
fabric in oriental design, has lovely
color effects. and may be used for either
drapery or furniture covers. The Hun
garian cloth. also, is reversible, and is
i'll Arabian patterns.
into window shades last year was re-
celved with such general favor that a
largely increased stock of that char
acter will be shown among the new
goods. A pretty design has the body
of null. with two vertical insertions
