Here Is new word for you, column
bophilism. 1t means raising and train
ing messenger pigeons. Within the
last few years this industry has grown
wonderfully. The governments of Bel
GUM, Germany, France and the Unit
ed States are training these birds to
serve as messengers from army sta
tons. The United States makes use Of
them more especially from ships.
Nearly every one Of our big ships car
ries a coop of homing pigeons, as they
are called, which are released rs &C.
casion demands, and almost without
exception the birds go with unerlfny
swiftness to their home on shore, car
rying a tiny tube fastened to one leg
which contains the message written on
the thinnest Of paper. They can be
depended upon to go 100 miles at
speed Of so miles an hour when they
are 3 years old. -~-*>

Three such tubes can be carried ina
basket, which is attached to the riders
shoulders in the same way as a KNAPP
sack. The birds feet are drawn up
and it's wings are folded when it Is
placed in the tube, and light form of
folding cage is carried, IN which the
birds can rest and eat during halt.
Twelve men are sent every year from
the French cavalry ranks to attend a
course Of instruction in the treatment
and handling of pigeons at the military
pigeon station at Vanguard.

CHAPTER Nv.

The Goddards breakfasted together
the next morning in a private room
! downstairs. The meal passed in ST.
fence, which was broken only now
and then by cheerful remark on the
part of Mrs. Goddard. He was sallow
and depressed. a. if he had passed .
wretched night; she was flushed with
triumph and the prospect of winning
in a great game. Now that his word
had been tacitly given hs had the
cowed air of most men of refined in
stincts who have sold themselves to
the devil. His handsome face was
stamped, too. with the lines of regret
for his downward plunge. and keener
regrets that he was in such = short
time to be separated from her. He
was unable to look her plot squarely
in the face. else he might have had
the courage to introduce certain
white winged objections which had
focked around him in the dead hours
Of the night when all the city seemed
asleep. Mrs. Goddard ate heartily;
he bolted his food. She said the coffee
and rolls-those dainty crisp things
no larger than giants thumb-were
alone worth the inconvenience of
spending a night in the city. When
they had finished she told him she de-
sired that he should 60 at once to
Lyndhurst and inform Blanche that
she would remain that morning in
town to attend to some shopping. and
that she would be home in time for
luncheon.
II hope" she added, "that you have
no business to attend to at the Office"
He had none. and 1t gave his heart
4 wrench to think that her shopping
had to do with her preparations for
her voyage.
"There il something eIse," she went
on. Ibid anyone at Lyndhurst know

MAY RIVAL PADEREWSKI

Josef Hofmann, the young pianist
who has lately been attracting unusual
attention from the musical critics, is
now in his early twenties and at the
critical point in his career. Thirteen
years ago, Josef, then little boy OF
wonderfully sweet disposition, who
could not speak word of English,
set the music loving public of America
on fire with his marvellous genius for
playing on the pianoforte. He was a
prodigy with the promise of becoming
a Rubenstein, and his tour through
the United States was something OF
a succession of triumphs. Emotional
men and women who heard him per-
form wept with the joy of it, and
great things were predicted for his
future. Mr.. Hofmann since that time
has learned many things beside music.
He now speaks fiuently in half dozen
languages. among them English,
French, German and Polish. He has
developed rich. deep voice, with
touch of the bass in it. His hobby
is mechanical invention, and not un-
naturally his favorite novelist is
Jules Verne.

sELF-DlscIPLINE.

The method of maintaining dis
cipline in the state prison at Folsom,
Cal, is declared to be very successful.
There are no dungeons or dark cells.
and none of the old modes of punish
ment are recognized in this institu
tion. When new prisoner is re-
ceived he is informed that they have
three different bills of fare in the
prison, and that it is optional with
each man as to how well he lives. If
he is Industrious, orderly, well-be-
haved and in all things conforms
strictly to the rules of the prison, he
is served with excellent food, nicely
cooked He can have chops, steaks,
eggs, tea and coffee, milk and white
bread. If he is only fairly well-he-
haved and does not do his allotted
task properly, is inclined to growl and
grumble at the regulations of the in
stitution he is given ordinary prison
fare, mush and molasses, soup and
corn bread; and If he is ugly and in
subordinate he is permitted to feast on
unlimited quantities of cold water and
rather small allowance of bread.

sTRATFoRD's MOP FAIR.

The old town of Stratford-on Avon,
says the London Mail, does not for
get its boast that it has the only stat
ute fair which carries on its rites ex-
actly as they have been observed
through many centuries. Therefore,
it takes care each year that the Mop
Fair shall lose none of it's wonted ira

were slaughtered for this years

street before huge fire burning in a
temporary brick oven. Each one as
it was cooked was cut up into slices
and sold for Cd. and Sd. plate. The
slices were sold as quickly as cut and
all save the carcass was demolished
before 2 o'clock on Saturday had
struck. A pig was roasted outside the
house of William Shakespeare, but
otherwise his street was almost de-
serted. 1t is too far from the center
of the fair. Special trains from all

KIDNAP THEIR WIVES.

Time has wrought but few changes
In the manners and customs of the
people of the Caucasus, and modern
ways are making but slow progl ess.
One OF the relics of the good o,! times
to which the Caucasians especially
cling is the custom of kidnapping the
women whom they desire to make
their wives. Recently case of this
kind resulted in a tragic end. A PROM
lnent inhabitant of the little Caucasian
town of Katuhagan, named Ismail Ogli
Okl tried to kidnap the sister Of his
best friends wife while his friend wos
absent from home. The girl resisted
his attempt to carry her off, aided by
her married sister. The batiled lover
drew his sword and inflicted dangerous
wounds on both the ladies. At this
moment his friend returned and. en-
ragged at finding what had occurred.
killed Ismail on the spot. Then he
cut off Ismail's head and carried it
round to show the neighbors what a
fearful revenge he had taken. In the
same district a young nobleman de-
sired to marry the daughter OF
neighboring land owner. and invited
the girl with her parents to grand
ball given at his castle. During tho
evening he found. an opportunity of
decoying the girl into secluded part
of the house. where she was seized by
his men and placed in carriage. The
prince Joined her and in spite of the
girls entreaties started out to drive
to place where they could be mar.
