y a Philadelph man went to u dealer
to purchase a dozen homing pigeons
and was both surprised and delighted
at the extremely low price asked for
the birds. The bargain was finally
concluded and the pigeons delivered.
Two weeks later the gentle man hap
pened to be passing, when the dealer
stopped him and asked him how the
birds were getting on.

Snruca Trees Nursed by Pines.

A singular fact with regard to the re-
lations Of different species Of trees has
been brought out by the reforestation
Of the peninsula Of Jutland, Denmark.
It was observed that when planted
alone spruce trees did not prosper,
but that if spruce was planted near
a mountain pine it grew up vigorously.
Further experiment has shown that if
the pines are placed near the spruces
at the beginning and after being al
lowed to grow together with them for
few years are cut down the. benefit
to the spruce continues The phenom-
enon Is not understood, says Profess
sor, ]. W. arshberger, but it is sup
posed that,the roots of the mountain
pine are inhabited by some mycorh31a
which produces the nitrogen needed by
the trees and that this organism is
transferred to the roots of the sur
rounding spruce. Once the infection
has taken place the presence of the
pine is no longer necessary. -

Old Time London SUNDAYS,

Now and then one hears Londoners
complaining that their Sunday is too
dull. They want more amusements,
attractions, life. But had they lived
in the. seventeenth century they would
have found vast difference. At that
period Sunday in London was day
of trials. One had only to fetch or
carry to break the Sabbath. Men were
fined for carrying such things as a
haunch of venison and pair Of shoes,
while another individual had to pay
up for swearing on Sunday. A. duke
and knight were fined again and
again for riding in their carriages on
the first day of the week, and one I'M
fortunate pedestrian had to pay SOW
ereign because he was caught in the
act Of strolling from Bristol to Bath
on a Sunday.-Pearson's Weekly.

Tho ROYAL Fish.

Sturgeon are abundant in Russia,
where the fisheries are of great value.
The flesh is eaten when fresh. but is
chiefly smoked or sailed More than
10000 fish are sometimes caught at a
single fishing station. The eggs are
removed in quantity from the ovaries
and separately prepared as caviar.
The annual value Of the Russian stur-
geon fisheries, including the produc-
ton of ising1ass, or fish gelatin, is es-
timated at $5,0OO,OOO. - !
