One of the simplest tents described is that
of the Argrippei, or bald-headed Scythlans-
a sacred race thought to be one of the sacer-
dotal colonies from India. The tent of these
people was sheet of white cloth, fastened
lightly among the trees.
Other tents there are hardly worthy of the
name, consisting merely of skin on couple
of poles, affording meagre shelter from the
weather. but just sufficient to be healthy.
The Chinese tent is fourteen feet long, SIX
wide and five and half feet high. Its shape
is that of the refreshment booth SO common
in this country at outdoor gatherings. The
Manshoo tent is cage like doyecote, stlff IN
the frame and covered with cloth.
The Calmuck uses felt instead Of cloth, but
hardly varies the shape. The "yarang' of

tains, and is made of whale ribs and walrus

Having prepared the loft, the next thing
will be to stock it, There are two or three
ways before the amateur to obtain loft of
birds One method is to buy some good,

two hundred to two hundred and fifty miles.
Should this plan be adopted, the prisoners
must be kept confined in loft and allowed
to breed, turning the squeakers out into their

The Eskimo places his door to the south,
and, pitching four fr-poles SO as to meet at

One of the finest tents constructed is that
OF the Karaoy, among the Turcomans. A
number of stakes are arranged in circle so
as to cross each other diagonally, as if in a
rustic fence. They are tied at each angle,
and from the top rise curved rafters which
support the felt covering. From hole in the
centre of the dome issues the smoke.

very wide.
Here they are, sir!"
And Howard held up the large handker-
chief filed with jewelry.
'sWell done, well DONE my son!" said Mr.
Hill, heartily, when Howard's story was told
Then he took neat little watch and chain
from the handkerchief, and, handing it to
Howard, said:
"There, my boy, take that as a special gift
from me, in addition to the three hundred
dollars you shall have before you go home"
Howard left all but fifty dollars of the
money in bank at Dayton, and the next
morning he entefed school,
IF you should happen to want a place in
a store when you're out of school," Mr. Rose
had said, you come and see us, and wen see

DAYTON. <vJust as he reached the edge of the
town man came hurrying along, with a
bundle of handbills on his arm and paste

He stopped and pasted up one of the bills
ON a fence, and Howard read:
"Three Hundred Dollars Reward
'cThe above reward viii be paid for the ap-
prehension of the thieves who broke into and
robbed the jewelry store of Hill & Rose, on
the night of September 10.
"a similar reward will be paid for the re-
turn of the stolen property"
Howard knew where the store. Of Hin \
Rose was, and when he reached it he found
an excited crowd before the store, eagerly
discussing the robbery.
He walked in and asked for Mr.. Hill.

you may let down the front part of the. trap,
but do not drive them out under any circnm-
stances; and it is a good plan, for the. first
time or SO, to let them out about three hours
before sunset.
After some eight weeks your birds will get
thoroughly acquainted with the locality, and
you may now commence the training of them
During the first season every care must be
long a distance at a stage, especially in the
first twenty miles from home; and in no in
stance should they be tossed during ram, or
in foggy weather. as they may fail to sec their
whereabouts and get lost. A very strong WIND
against them is also Objectionable, as it great,
ly impedes their passage through the air and
tires them in very short time.
Young birds are usually put into tIainlng
during the months Of July and August, but
shooting commences ON the first of Septem.
Der and there would then be possibility OF
their getting shot.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-27

In selecting some town-say, fifty. or
hundred miles distant from your residence
take an ordinary State map and draw a a
straight line from home to where your BIRDS
are finally to be sent, and commence training
the birds in the following manner: :.
For the first ten miles let them go sineIiy,
as if you have an inferior one it will soon be
lost. For the first toss one mile; second toss,
two miles; let tham rest, say one day, rnen
four miles with another rest; then seven miles,
Now give two days rest,. and then try
twelve miles; next three days rest, and then
twenty miles. After your birds have accom-
plshed this, you can send them easily ten
mile stages, but only once week
We should advise that after, your birds
have accomplished the twenty-mile toss, they
should be flown early in the morning, which
can be easily arranged by sending them over
night to any station agent.
Having succeeded in the hundred-mie stageE,
you would then have good stock to start IN
the old bird races the following year.

nacherib, shown on the Nineveh sculptures
was brocaded with gold. Alexander's sue
cessors in Syria and elewhere had also very
elaborate pavilions.
The Roman military tents, initiated per-
haps from those of Hannibal, who brought
them over with him from the Alps, were large
enough to hold ten men and corporal
They were wedge-shaped, and had two posts
and a wedge-poie, with the roof separated
from the walls. Another form of Roman tent
the Tabernaculum-had eight or nine poles
and cross pieces
The armies of Louis XIV are said to have
been the first to be provided with tents in
modern times; but these, after all appear to
have been only issued to few favored corps.
1t is to the Prussians, under the great
Frederick, that we must look for their syste-
matte introduction. The German tents are
of the ordinary bellshape. During the wars
of 1866 and 1870, however, the armies on the
march did without them.
The first French military tent was a square
of cloth thrown over ridgepole When this
was fitted with rounded ends, it became
canonniere. An oblong walltent-the cortine
then came into use for the officers, and
when this was furnished with fly or second
tent, it received the name of marquise or
marquee.
The Revolutionary armies at first had no
tents, a want, however, very soon remedied.
In 1880, for the Algerian campaigns the tente
d'abri was introduced piece of which was
carried by each soldier, the pieces being but
toned together, giving the tent familiar to
us in pictures Of the French camp during the
Crimean War.
Three other tents are known in the French
army .hc Bonnet-dePolice, a three-sided
prism with half cone at the end; the Tao
comet, differing from it only in relative dimen-
sions, and the Marabout, which is conical
tent with a CURTAIN
The Turkish tents are round rooted, which
fits on to huge umbrella frame. That of
Omar Pacha in the Crimean campaign was
twenty feet in diameter, and made of light
green canvas, lined with yellow silk.
These round topped tents stood when all
the rest were blown down in the great storm
that did SO much damage during the siege of
Sebastopol Their principle is exemplfed
in the gypsy tent common, which is built
no of one fiat ridge-piece bored with holes
generally by red-hot poker-and a few hazel
rods, one end of which is passed through the
hole in the board, the other stuck in the
ground, the framework being steadied by
couple of rods slipped in crossways.
The Russian tents are square, and have a
centre pole and four corner poles. The Aus
trian tent is rectangular, with conical roof,
and has its ropes inside.
The British military tent is twelve and a
half feet in diameter and ten feet four inches
high. 1t sleeps sixteen men, and complete,
with its two mauls, fifty pins, twenty ropes,
twenty loops, and two storm stays, weighs
sixty-eight pounds.
In the modern patterns low wall of canvas
can be run round, SO as to give increased
height and space.

from the ground the better, as the
young birds, before being given their liberty,
are enabled to get out in the trap and see
the surrounding country for some considera-
bic distance.
A common dovecot fixed up against a wall
or on pole is of no use to keep homing
pigeons in; they must have a loft made for
them.
The end of loft over stable or store
room, or the top room of dwelling house,
is often selected and fitted up; but which
ever plan is adopted, the loft chosen should
be at least high enough inside to allow any
one to walk upright in, and not less than six
feet square, though of course the size must
largely depend on the number of birds that
are to be kept in it.
Having chosen the loft, it must next be
fitted up. 1t should have an entrance-door
for the owner at one of the sides, not-,if 1T
can be avoided-a trap in the floor, as it is
apt to frighten the birds to come up into the
loft in this manner.
Another important matter is that the more
light you can let your birds have the better;
and, further, arrange this that the sun
may shine in much possible.
The trap should be fixed to face the south,
with door in front, with bolting-wres at
The sides, so that the birds can gain admission
in the event of the door being closed
Having constructed the shell of the loft, it
will now want fitting up inside. If large
enough it is a good plan to divide it down
the middle to enable one to separate the cock
from the hens during the winter.
Then, by having two entranceholes into
the trap, the cock may be let out one day and
the hens the next; or you can keep in one
lott few prisoners for stock purposes.

UNMINDFUL OF WARNINGS.

The Chicago Tribune in defending
imperialism cites Egypt, Macedonia,
Rome, England, France and Germa-
ny as nations that 'have occupied
foreign territory and governed alien
peoples in the interests of commerce
and civilization"
The first three have already fallen
and the others are inviting disaster,
reminds Bryan's Commoner. The
Tribune is not only unmindful of the
warnings of history, but it is indiffer-
ent to the advice of Lincoln, who de-
clared that we could not destroy the
spirit (which prizes liberty as the
heritage of all men in all lands every
where" without planting the seeds
of despotism at our own DOORS" Man
has not changed much; human nature
is quite the same. The man who de-
nies the principles of government
when applied to others can not defend
them with any force when he seeks
to apply them to himself. Who would
have thought, 10 years ago, that i'm
perialism could find apologists in the
United States?

The same service costs some people
more than 1t does others. Under the
provisions of this ordinance all will be
placed upon precisely the same plane,
whether the thing sold is fire insur-
ance or what not. on the face of
it every man will approve of any
movement which gives every man an
equal show. When 1t is brought spe-
officially home to him and he discov-
ers that he himself is the loser by
the arrangement, his enthusiasm may
not be so heartfelt. But this is the
first impulse of everyone to whom the
matter is presented, and therefore it
ia probably correct view of the
case.
No more interesting bit of legisla-
ton has ever been passed in Port
land, and the outcome of 1t an will be
watched with the keenest interest. 1t
should be given q chance now to
work out its salvation. Doubtless it
will need amendment, but in the main
principles it seems to be pitched in
the right key.
