PIGEONS AND THE CHINESE
How the Celestials Make the Bird,

 The Chinese have made pigeon fyIns Che decoying game that it is because shoy like any kind of playing fol keeps" says St Nicholas. Even i1 kite-fyirg, they fly little hooks to theil kite strings and try to pull in each other's kites, and count it fa1" to keel any kite that drops into theic yards They will tell yea that kite or strange pigeon that comes tc youi place, if given up, takes away youl family luck" So you must tear the kite and keep the pigeon. But when you see the town danGies saunterinA out with their fans and bird cages to watch the noon kite flying, crit{e3s- ing the fiocks and their tactics. eaf arguing the fine points of decoying you guess that family luck" has verP little to 60 with their game. To daIos strange pigeons, pigeon keepers must first train their flocls to sfy in spir. als, that is, to rise steadily in cir1tes without straying far from the home roof. Pigeons naturally fly together ir CltS 1Fcn " ilQ plStt9llo " AA0S about in focks before struggling off te the fields Chinese make their birds eager for circling by keeping them shut up in a wicker house built on the ground around the 5ovecote, and they cure their birds of struggling by pelt- ing them with pebbles when they try to alight anywhere except on one spot -the ridge-pole of the roof facing tlla wicker house. The flock must alight here in bunch, and immediately walk down to the caves. This is done to bring any strange pigeon among them down within sight of the grain, 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 f2act work from them as possible. When there is much flying and calling down to dc, they are usually fed with mtllet, which IS so small that it keeps them eating long time without filing them. At other times their food is sorghum seed. Corn is not very good for pig cons, but they are so fond Of it that pigeon keepers usually have it on hand to call them down when they are al. ts

 Diamonds

Kimberley proper is built around 2. aole biz enough to hold the entire white population of South Africa. This is tba excavation above the Kimberley niue. made when diamonds were mined from tho surface. Nowadays shafts are sunk and levels formed. whence ret blue ground is blasted out and haaied to the surface in elevators The diamond is different from other precious stones, in that it is found in soft clay, while the amethyst, ruby and emerald are embedded in quartz. This makes the diamond easy to concea! in the mouth, nose, and by swallowing and every year the De Beers company gets from the Workmen S2,000 ,00t worth Of stolen goods. The inclina- ton to pIfer these stones is so intense Ehat the crime is severely punished. h South Africa the first commandment is

 The nnlpit used to be the chief means of instruction and of intellectual and moral emulation for the people ghe pulpit orator was the peoples or etor. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power ln thls re- gard. says Popular Science. The oally and weekly press have greater innu- enca in public instruction. The multi nlication of cheap books also takes from the pulpit large share or us h. duence in this regard. Oratory Ill leglS- IatiVe bodies has to q great extent lost its influence. It's place has been taken by simple, compact, time-saVlng state ments, often printed but not delVereo' Committees do the work which used +o be done after discussion before the public So the people Will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen. erafioDs. They demand short, crisp ser mons that bristIe with points and are practical and helpful. In other words Che oratorical and highly intellectual character of the pulpit, which used to attract worshipers, no longer attracts them. They feel that they can ges llore benefit in this regard by reading {a the comfort of the home. Multi Rades of people can nc longer De lhs 57uced to attend church to be instructed ,,v the minister or to get his judgment or Iopics of the time. or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this is ye=enforced by the fact that multitudes efslike the doctrines of the church and resent them when they are preached VIC can easily understand that church. attendance should decline very greatly {E0m this reason.
