Fliqht of the Doves.

One of the most beautiful features of "Humpty Dumpty," the Drury Lane spec taele which is the offering for tnls week at the Jefferson theatre, is the flight of real doves from the gallery to the out stretched arms of a flying ballet gi l. One of the Grigolatis receives the hi ds and as they flutter in rapid successi Il from the top of the theatre to find q r, st- ing place on her arms the audience bursts into involuntary applause. The doves are so well trained that they fly straight t', their destination and remain there wh' the ballet dancer sails gracefully througl. the air. 1t is pretty conceit and nov city that could not be surpassed.
 The flying ballet of the Grigolatis is one of the distinctive features of "Humpty Dumpty." Viewed from the rear of the theatre the girls seem to be flying through the air without any means of support but of course they are held up by wires These wires are the kind used in marine testing. They could sustain ten times the weight they are used to lift and are frequently tested. Altho the flying ballet was introduced ten years ago, no one has ever been hurt. The remarkable part of the ballet perform ance is that the girls do not spin around in the air, as one would expect them to do They glide with the grace of a bird.
 .Humpty Dumpty' carries over 200 peo pie and when these are all on the stage 1t can readily be imagined what bril- liant spectacle they present
 matinee Is announced for this after noon. Children will no doubt be out in force.

MASTER PAINTERS CONVENTION
 IS ACCORDED WARM WELCOME
VALENTINE TRADE HAS
 BENIN UNUSUALLY LARGE

Sentimental and comic Valentines will carry their messages today.
 This is the sixteenth hundred and sixty sixth anniversary of the death of St. Valentine, martyr who was deeapitated during the Claudian persecution in Rome in 24O A. D. It is supposed to be the day on which the birds choose their mates.
 Birmingham will celebrate the day.
 Immense stocks of valentines were bought by the dealers here this year larger by nearly two to one than last year-and they are practically sold out. The largest dealer in the city yesterday afternoon had only about fifty valentines left of the more expensive and hand somer designs, while he had completely disposed of his stock of cheaper valen- tines
 The poetic greetings are becoming more popular and the old cheap variety with it's coarse verse is gradually becoming q thing of the past.
 Artistic valentines were in demand more

MOTHER
 AND CHILD.

Let the mother take Scott's Emulsion for the two; 1t never fails to benefit them both. One can eat for two, but nour. ishing two Is a different thing. It calls for a de. gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak in some func- tions from exhaustion or their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depend ed upon to overcome such conditions. It is a won derful food for a mother and child.

The car service report for January Will show an increase of about 12,OOO cars handled over the corresponding month of last year. In January, 1905. 592SS cars were handled by the Alabama railroads, and during the first month of this year about Il 800 were handled an increase of about 20 per cent.
 Had the railroads owned more ears and more motive power it is probable that January would have been the record breaking month since the Car Service as sociation was organized In many in- stances the railroads did not have the power to move the cars which were on hand and arriving. January ranked as the third or fourth month in the num- Der of cars handled In the history of the association
