PIGEON POINTERS.
Information Which Ought to Do Help
ful to the Squab Raiser.
Take little stock in the di-aler wlio

health and condition.
Undersized , delicate , Avc.-ikly hens
are the most disastrous scourge to the
squab producer's loft.
A squab makes great prrowth the firat
twelve hours and after the third day
makes rapid progress.
Reduce the corn and increase the
quantity of whpat and peas , as these
two grains arc more nutritiov.s and bel
ter for the growing of young bird * ? .
The time to market the squabs is .fi.-.t
when they arc ready to leave the nest.
They arc then what pigeon men call
ripe.
ripe.The
The American Stock Keeper advises
. breeding from birds with a well de
veloped , breast and length of keel , for
this is where the epicure looks for the
meat. Breed also from light skinned
birds , as the dark moated ones always
sell at a lower figure.
Pigeons cannot thrive long without
grit , and this is oue of the chief rea
sons why people do not have success
in rearing birds.
Always keep a sharp lookout for ver
min , and promptly fight them.
Canker and scrofulous diseases are
more or less due to an impure slate of
the blood. In which cases there should
bo a thorough cleansing of the bowels.
The sick should be placed in separate
and dry coops , and salt added to tbo
drinking water.
Fat squabs cannot be produc-ctl by
overfeeding. This system induces the
old birds to put on fat , resulting in
lazy breeders and neglected youngsters.
Two handfuls of hemp to fifty pig
eons is about the right quantity in a
day's ration.
AnEnglish authority claims that a
pair of pigeons consumes on an aver
age a little more than a pint of grain
per week.
If squabs are killed before they fly
the flesh is white , but after that it
darkens , reducing the price in market.
Birds bred from good foundation
stock will show their good qualities
for several generations to com
Small , delicate hen 'pigeons cannot
produce squabs that weigh more than
seven pounds to Hie dor.cn.
"Going light * ' is a form of consump
tion. There are two kindslho quick
and the slow. For tbe first there is
nothing to be done , but the latter case ,
If taken in time , may bo cured.Vhen
molting is the fault , merely pulling
out the tall feathers will sometimes ef
fect a cure.
Inbreeding is the cause of most
cases of "going light" in the pigeon
loft.
Poultry House With Scratching Shed.
It requires no description to show
the practical poultry raiser tlio value
of the hen house one view of which is
given herewith. There may be a thou
sand .modifications of this general plan
for a home for poultry , but in the
main , if the best results are desired ,
this scheme must be more or less close
ly adhered to.
Treatment cf Roupy Fowls.
For roup fill a pail nearly full of - water
ter , add a teaspoonful of keror.ene oil
and then dip the head of every ailing
bird. Do not take much time to do
%
this just long enough to have the oil
penetrate the nostrils and throat. Put
the birds that have any discharge from
nostrils or eyes by themselves. Keep
sick and well birds apart. Add a few
drops of kerosene to avery drinking
dish on the place ami - > op this up un
til no new cases api.jur. Then clean
out every pen of durr. filth and cob-
Whitewash everything in sight

"INASMUCH AS YE DID IT NOT. "
By E. NESBIT in Saturday Evening Post.
If Jesus came to London ,
Came to London today ,
He would not go to the West End ,
He would come down our way.
He'd talk with the children dancing
To the organ out in the street ,
And sa3T he was their Big Brother ,
And give them something to eat.
He wouldn't go to the mansions
Wheie the charitable live ,
He'd come to the tenement houses
Where we ain't got nothing to give.
He'd come so kind and so homely
And treat us to meat anrl bread ,
And tell us how we cught to behave ,
And we'd try to mind what He said.
In the warm , bright West End
Churches
They sing and preach and pray.
They call us "Beloved brethern. "
But they do not act that way.
And when He eame to the church door
He'd call out loud and free ,
"You stop that preaching and praying
And show what you've done for
Me. "
They they'd say , "Oh , Lord , we have
given
To the poor both blankets and
tracts ,
And we've tried to make them sober
And we've tried to teach them facts.
But 1 hey will sneak round to the
dnnkshop
And pawn their blankets for beer ,
And we find them very ungrateful : .
But still we persevere.
Then He would say , "I told you ,
The time I was here before ,
That you were all oi you brothers ,
All you that Tsuffered for.
I won't go into your churches ,
I'll stop in-the sun outside ,
You bring out the men , your brothers ,
The men for whom I died ! "
Out of our beastly lodgings.
From arches and doorways about.
They'd have to do as He told them
They'd have to call us out.
Millions and millions and 'millions ,
Thick and crawling like Hies :
We should creep out to the sunshine ,
A nd not be afraid of His eyes.
Be'd see what bod's image looks like
When men have dealt xvith the same ,
Wrinkled with work that is never done
Swollen and dirty with shame.
He'd see on the children's foiehead
The branded gutter sign
That marks the girls to be harlots ,
That dooms the boys to be swine.
was 7 97 inches in 190.J.
The least monthly precipitation

Then He'd say , "What's the good oJ
churches
When these have nowhere to sleep :
And how can I hear your praying
When the5T are cursing so deep ?
I gave My blood and My body
That they might have bread and
wine ,
And you have taken your share and
theiis
Of these good gifts 6f mine ! "
*
Then some of the rich would be sorry.
And all would be very scared ,
And they'd say , "But we never knew ,
Lord ! "
And He'd say , "You never cared ! "
And some would be sick and shameful
Because they'd know .that they
knew ,
And.the best would say , "We were
wrong , Lord ,
Now tell us what to do ! "
1 think He'd be sitting , likely ,
For some one 'i d brinjr him a chair ,
With a common kid cuddled up on
i i knee /
And the common sun on His hair :
And they'd be standing before Him.
And He'd say , "You know that you
knew ,
Whj' haven't you worked for your
brothers
The same as I worked for you ?
"For since you're all of you brothers ,
It's clear as God's blessed sun
That each must work for tbe others ,
Not thousands work for one.
And the ones that have lived long-idle
If they want Me to hear them pray ,
Let them go and work for their livings
The only honest way !
"I've got nothing new to tell you ,
You know what I've always said
But you've built their bones into
churches
And stolen their daily bread ;
You , with M } ' name on your fore
heads ,
Liar , and traitor , and knave ,
You have lived by the death of your
brothers :
These whom I died to save ! "
I wish he would come and say it ;
Perhaps they'd believe it then ,
And work like men for their livings ,
And let us work like men.
Brothers ? They don't believe it ,
The lie on their lips is red.
They'll never believe till He comes
again , _
Or till we rise from the dead ]

I Chinese Stewards on Pacific Liners.
t We sailed from San Francisco , bound
for Honolulu , on n skip whose stewards
ami sailors are Chinamen. Even if all
dees not 0 well with the boat's motion
in days oi1 storm , one cannot fail to be
entertained by these spry sons of the
orient.
1 The costume worn by the stewards is
quite remarkable. For ordinary , ev
eryday wear they don white garments
that lesemb'e American pajamas in
their style of cut and lit. Fo'r dinner
each evening and on Sundays the white
suits are exchanged for light blue gar
ments of the sime : description rathpr
an odd livery to our prosaic minds ! Oi
course , every Chinaman preserves a
habitual , solemn'silence. . If , owing to
an interesting conversation , the passen
ger fails to notice the dish with which
the table steward is trying to serve
him the patient Chinaman stands im
movable , with outstretched hand and
sphinxlike countenance , until attention
is drawn to him , after which , his dt\ty
done , lie slips in silence on his way.
Plodding , silently , the ssiiluAi attended
to their duties with mournful faces that
strongly appealed to me. They ate
with chop sticks , sitting on their heels
the while , and were , in fact , eminently
satisfactory specimens in every way.

A Hopeless Case.
A Scottish paper tells a story of an
old Scottish -nonum who was "unco'
drouthie , " wKhout the money to buy
"a drappie. " "Lassie , " she said to
her little granddaughter , "gang round
to Donald McCallum and bring mo a
gill. Tell him I'll pay him i' the morn
ing. "
Back came the child with a refusal.
Donald declined to part with his whis
ky without the cash. Eager and irri
tated , the old woman cast about for
some means of "raising the wind , " and
her eye fell upon the family Bible.
"Here , lassie , " she said"gie him this
and tell him to keep it until I bring
him the siller. " Off went the little
girl , but she soon returned , still car
rying the Bible. Donald was obdurate.
"He says he maun hae the baubees
first , granny. "
In anger the disappointed grand
mother threw up her hands and ex
claimed : "Losh. did anybody ever hear
the like o' that ! The man will neither
talc my word nor the word , o' God for
a gill o' whuslzy ! "
A Canine Shirker.
Rex , a thoroughbred Spitz , must per
form the painful duty of escorting a
certain neighbor home when she has
been calling at our house. However ,
it is not without a show of reluctance
that he does it. Recently our friend
missed her escort , and no amount of
whistling proved equal to recalling
him. This occurred'Several times and
it was always in about the same place
that Rex disappeared. One night our
friend determined to discover Rex's
little game. After whistling and call
ing she made a pretense of going on.
She stopped in a deep shadow.
Around the corner of the nearest house
appeared a slinking figure. Stealthily
quitting the shadows Rex crept out
and peered long and anxiously up the
street , whither , as lie well knew , lie
should have continued to conduct the
lady. After this he turned shamelessly
around and lit out for home. Chicago
