ONCE is ENOUGH TO SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth
seeing-once. But once is enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
go, or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks a sailors fingers;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps a
worried expression on certain faces. No
wonder people said of the Italian poet as
he passed along, There goes

Not in the memory of many of the Oldest
residents have the county roads in this sec
tion been in such condition as they pre-
sent at this time. The recent thaw, COM

influence Of which extended several feet

made Of the roads veritable qua gmires
Heavy traffic of all sorts is impossible
Broken vehicles have resulted where the

Some of the streets of the town are
axle deep in places. The rural free de-
livery is meeting with almost insurmount-
able obstacles, and, indeed, in some places
the delivery has had to be abandoned al
though two carriers have been employed
where in the past only one was necessary.
The storm of snow, rain and Sleet which
visited this section yesterday has wrought
a great deal of damage to the trees of the
town. In some instances branches six
inches in diameter were broken by the
weight of sleet with which they were
coated. The local municipal electric light
plant has also suffered severely. The
wires are down in all sections Of the town,
and 1t is stated that the town will be in
darkness for more than a week while the
repairs being made.

Special Correspondence or Inc Evening star
ROCKVILLE, Md, March s. 1902.
Mr. Charles Joseph Mccarthy and Miss
Mary Hickey, both of Washington. We're
married yesterday afternoon by Rev.
Charles o. Rosensteel pastor of ST. Johns
Catholic Church, at Forest Glen. The young
folks visited Rockville earlier in the day
necessary license, proceeded to st. Mary's
Catholic Church, where, according to ar
rangement, Washington priest was to
meet them and make them man and wife.
1t seems there was a misunderstanding as
to the hour, and when the young Washing
tonians arrived at the church they were in
formed that the minister, after waiting an
hour or more. had returned to the city,
thinking something had prevented them
from keeping the engagement. The resi-
dent priest was out of town, so there was
nothing for them to do but depart. They
left on an electric car, but instead of stop
ping in Washington proceeded to Forest
Glen. where they found Father Rosensteel,
who performed the all-important ceremony.
Mr.. Franklin Lloyd Dement, of Washing
ton and Miss Mollie Stewart Kneas of
Brightwood, who visited Rockville in the
afternoon, had less trouble. They came out
by an electric car, and fifteen minutes after
their arrival were pronounced man and
wife by Rev. 8. r. White of the Baptist
Church. The ceremony was performed in
the Office of the board Of county public
school commissioners in the court house,
and was witnessed by quite a number of
persons, including nearly all of the court
house officials. The age of the groom was
given as twenty-One years and eleven
months and that Of the bride as eighteen. 1t
is understood it was runaway match.

principal of the school at Spencerville, vice

PIGEON NEST CABINET.
style Here Described Has Been
Adopted by Noted Fancier After
Years of Experime ntinS.

After experimenting for years with
various nesting apartments for
pigeons, and examining those of other
experienced breeders, we have adopted
the style set forth in the accompanying
illustration as being the best, cheap
est and most convenient for the attend
ant as well as the birds.
The dimensions are seven feet two
inches high, eight feet long and two
feet deep. Partitions are two feet
apart, making each nest shelf, which
rests on cleats nailed to the partitions,
two feet square. Shelves are one foot
apart, giving ample room for nest pan
about three and half or four inches
high.
Few birds will need more than one
nest pan or box at a time; but should
the hen wish to lay before the squads
are old enough to leave the nest, an
other nest may be placed in the op-
posite corner. 1t would be better to
have the apartments two and half or
even three feet long where two nest
boxes are to be used.
The illustration shows the top row
of nest boxes in position, also one Of
the shelves removed in the second row.

PIGEON NEST ( ABINET.


The bottom row of nests is raiset
from the floor by a Dashboard two
inches wide, this allows space for the
end cleats on which the bottom shelves
rest.
The cabinet here illustrated is. made
for 20 pairs of birds. Two such cab
inets, one on each side of a room ten
by twelve feet, would comfortably &C.
commodate 80 to 35 pairs, allowing a
few nests for birds that may claim two
sections.
Only the upright partitions are made
secure to the building. The top and
shelves should not be fastened, and
may easily be moved when cleaning-out
time comes. One point must be remem-
bered, no nest cabinet should be built
more than five nests high, and where
one is not cramped for room four nests
high would be better.
The top of the cabinet makes good
resting place for birds not on the nest,
and no other perches are needed. In
nearly every pen there will be a pair or
two that will persist in building on top
of the cabinet, and, if they are to be
