Pigeons do not need fancy house;

scription can be fitted up to serve
their needs. II the building Is to

be seven feet wide by ten feet long.
and II more than one house is to be
built under the same roof. leave an
alley way from three to four feet wide

netting.
The front of the building should be
eight feet high, with six light win
dows.
Directly above the windows two
holes seven by eight inches should be
placed, through which the pigeons
can come and go. They should be
provided with slide to be closed
when the weather is very cold These
can be opened and closed from the
alley-way by pieces of rope and pull
leys.
The fly pen should be as high and
wide as the front OF the pen proper
and about Is feet long. It should be
enclosed with wire netting small
enough to keep sparrows out.
Six feet from the ground six-inch
wide board should be placed from
front of house to end of run on either
side as an alighting board.
The bathing-pan should be placed
in the fly, and there should be door
in the front of the fly through which
a person can pass in and out. These
doors are simply a frame covered
with wire.

built on either side. preferably on the
east and west walls. These boxes are

The W0man Beautiful
By NINE. QUI VIYE

There Is only one way of reforming
a hayward husband. That way is by
gaining his respect. The usual method
of nagging and weeping is worthless
and obsolete system. A clever wom-
an with humor. intelligence, reason
and good nature--don't smile. there
are such women and they are not
dead-can bring the most unruly hus-
band into line. She does not harp for
ever on her own sufferings. II he dis
sipates, she very tactfully shows him
how his waste Of time ruins his own
chances for good work and success.
She realizes that II he goes out with
the boys night after night, 1t may be
because there isn't much at home to
attract him. She becomes his good
old pal. and II she keeps a strong
heart and a steady head. the time
comes when she can't drive him away
from her.
Naturally a pretty woman Is COM
pick. She has no desire to make her
self plain.
There are marriages of unequal In
tellects as there are marriages of diff
ferent characters. But II one loves
truly and deeply the plainest goose
will always be swan. The moment
that we begin to criticize and to find
fault. the rosy glow of love grows
dim. Twilight descends on young Mr..
Cupid and darkness is on the way.
The keen-eyed wife makes her first
great mistake when she begins to pick
flaws and seeks mental blemishes. II
mans heart is properly located, II
he is faithful. willing to toll for his
family. and gives his wife all the ten
der little attentions that rightly be-
long to her. she can we'll afford to
overlook the fact that he occasionally
forgets to put his slippers away or
that he does not handle his soup
spoon exactly to her fancy.
With some people the matrimonial
climate is either a roast or frost.
Most of the domestic unhappiness
that mars the beauty of delightful
world is caused by individuals trying
to make their relatives see life as they
see 1t. A word to mothers: To make
your boy think as you do is wrong
Times have changed. and what your
mother taught you may not be proper
teaching for him. Guide your boy
with love and tenderness. When he
makes mistakes don't scold him. Just
say you're sorry, and isn't II fine that
he win know what to avoid. And
don't forget that you must progress as
fast as he does-if you can--so you
will understand. The right kind of
mother is always Just the same age
as her child. She Is his good chum.
and his iolliest. most inspiring friend
Divorce courts prove that sometimes
a little beauty Is dangerous thing.
Physical culture is not mere mus
cular development. but equilibrium
and grace. The habitual pose of the
body is the first matter for critical at
tention. Plato maintained that those
who were educated in mind and
morals only and possessed unframed
bodies were cripples. The best way
to acquire pose and grace is to seek
good gymnasium. AS the body be-
comes strong. the spirits will be hap
pier.
Many mans downfall Is caused by
slip Of girl.

All the old ladies are now wearing

Instance the use OF a threshing machine
is typical. threshing machine was
taken into the country to thresh rice. A
STAGE OF rice was run through the
thresher. AS the clean threshed rice
poured out from the machine the natives
could not be convinced that there was
not box of rice from which the stream
came. The machine was opened and the
people shown how the operation of
threshing was accomplished, but It was
still "A mystery.
After the stack selected had been
threshod Il was proposed to put through
tho thresher another stack, but the people
objected believing the machine was some
sort of a devil and that II all the rice
stacks were passed through the devil
machine they would have no tit seed
nor could they eat the rice put through
the machine.
The remedy to these notions was found
In blessing of the machinery by the local
priest, for which q charge was made, but
then the rice could with confidence be
eaten and planted. 1t is found we'll 20
