PIGEONS' LUXURIES. An indication of the expense which Lanca- shire men lavish on homing pigeons was given in the Blackburn County Court. Three work- ing men who are brothers sued for the value of a pigeon which had been worried by a dog. It was stated that such birds are fed on loaves made with nine eggs. In fact, they live better than children," suggested the defending solicitor. They have to," replied one of the plaintiffs.

THE QUEEN AND BRITISH INDUSTRIES. Lady Amherst writing from Didlington Hall, Brandon, Norfolk, .states she is permitted by Queen Alexandra to publish the following letter written to her by her Majesty's com- mand:—" Marlbox-ougli House, July 26th.- Dear Lady Amherst. I did not fail to submit your letter to the Queen, and I am now de- sired to tell you how gladly her Majesty would do everything in her power to promote the welfare of national industries. The Queen expresses, therefore, the earnest hope that all ladies who are to be present at the Coronation will employ for their dresses as much as possi- ble material made by British manufacturers embroidered by British workwomen. Believe me, yours sincerely, (signed) CHARLOTTE KNOLLYS." _—.———

FOUGHT TO BE DROWNED. There was a sensational incident at the Prince's landing-stage, Liverpool, on Monday. A man threw himself into the water with the obvious intent to drown himself. Dock Board electrician Chamberlain jumped to him, but the man fought to keep his head under water. Chamberlain at last got his chin over a life- buoy, and held it there till help came in the shape of a Dock yardman, and both were res- cued from the strong ebb tide. The crowd cheered the rescuers.

SAW HIS SWEETHEART DROWN. A Tilbury girl with her lover and a girl frienp, went for a row at Wateringbury, near Maidstone, and in changing seats capsized the boat in midstream. The man made desperate efforts to .save his sweetheart, but she sank al- most immediately and was not seen again. Both the others got safely to shore.

FlSH TRADE DEADLOCK. The Grimsby fishing trade deadlock continues. The men's manifesto submitted to the owners elicited on Monday a reply saying that the vessels controlled by the Masters Federation will only go to sea on the terms previously offered. Both sides are determined not to recede from the present position. The lock-out has now entered upon its eighth week, and the distress la most acute.

The King, it is stated, has decided to erect at Frogmore a memoriai to the late Empress Frederick.

THE HOME: USEFUL AXD SUGGESTIVE. How TO COOK BLOATERS.—Split open the fish. Take out the backbone carefully, so as to pull out the" ribs" with it. Grill over a clear fire. When cooked, place a piece of butter on each bloater, and move it about to moisten it. The heat of the bloater will, of course, melt the butter. Bloaters can also be cooked in front of the fire in a shut-up gridiron, or in a frying-pan—in which case the frying-pan must be greased. Bloaters should al- ways be opened before they are cooked, in order to avoid the offensive smell caused by opening then; afterwards; many people also remove the heads, which are very unsightly. The greatest care should be taken in cleaning the frying-pan or gridiron that has cooked bloaters. It is almost impossible to get perfectly rid of the flavour. If you have to cook a steak on a gridiron that has cooked a bloater, mak it very hot first, then wipe it, and rub it with at onion. FEATHER-EATIXG IIESS.—It long, close winters, unless one is careful to feed sulphur each week, tc give meat freely, and has large quarters and a hay- rick for the liens to run to. they will stand and puli the feathers from off their companions. This is accident at first, and generally starts with one hen. The new feathers that come out to take the place of those pulled, are full of blood, and become tempting bits of blood and meat, and the evil increases until the whole flock, become feather-eaters. When first discovered take the smooth birds out of the flock, for the culprit is one or all of them. Feed sulphur and liver till gorged. Put a stack of hay into the poultry- house: rake the feed (oats, wheat and corn) intI: the chaff, and make the flock scratch for it, anc you will divert them from the evil. The sulphur wil destroy the desire. HIBR TABI^SJ MAT.—-FOR materials use four shades of gfeen single zepltjff, one sTcein of dark green, and a-half skein of each of the other shades; commence and crochet with the treble stitch a lrial with eighty- nine stitches around then eleven chain: then fill this chain with treble stitches, then ten (JXMG then the chain and proceed the same all Vouiiil until it is six stitches deep. Finish with the lightest shade; by plltting. it over the thread and drawing it through three stitches the mat will be very full. Tack the fulness with the thread which will leave a place for the lily, which must be crocheted with one ounce white zephyr. Set up three chain, use the treble stitch, use one in the centre and go back and forth until six deep, then finish the edge same as the mat; there must be eight lilies; then have half-an-ounce of yellow to represent the centre. Set up thirty stitches on knitting needles knit plain ten stitches deep bind off and sew together insert a wire; sew lily together and put in its place in the mat. BooKs FOR THE GeEST CHAMBER.—At one time I was staying in' a house where the guest chamber contained among the furniture a little shelf of books. I have often thought of them since, with a wonder that more careful hostesses did not provide the same. Nights when L could not sleep, and morn- ings when I waited in my room for the breakfast bell, I dipped into the COil tents-a volume or two 3f poems, some short stories, and interesting travels comprised the whole—and I found not the least pleasant part of my visit in those quiet moments by the window which overlooked the great, old-fashion- ad garden. Any housekeeper could spare six or sight books from her library, and almost any guest would bless her for the thought. A little work- basket fully stocked pen, ink and paper ready to hand—the visitor cares nearly as much for these as for fresh towels and extra coverings. The golden rule, which is a guide to all branches of good house- keeping, as to all branches of all business, comes to one's aid here, and what we care most for in ano- ther's home we should endeavour to give the comer to our own. ABOUT BEES.—The statement is made that care- less, lazy, or slovenly persons should not attempt to keep bees. The care of an apiary is work for the brain as well as for the hands and feet. Every bee master should take special pains in spring to aseer- tain constantly the amount of store each hive contains. If he has uncapped most of the honey, and this has resulted in a larger supply being re- quired to maintain the increasing number of bees, it is evident the hive will starve unless syrup is ap- plied to it, or honey in considerable quantity is being gathered. A stimulated hive requires additional uare in this respect, and its wants must be supplied artificially, if they are not satisfied naturally. All necessary handling of bees should be done with the utmost rapidity, and with just as little disturbance :>f the arrangements of the bees as possible. To this end all arrangements of racks and boxes should be easily adjusted, so that in removing surplus the bees need to be exposed as little and for as short a time as possible. If a hive is kept open for a long time, while complicated gim-cracks are torn apart and fitted together again, robbing is apt to be in- duced in seasons of the best honey flow, and the workers soon find out that their attention is wanted at home to protect the stores, and to re-establish the destroyed order of the hive, even if the demo- ralisation is not communicated to all other colonies, and a consequent serious loss of honey is the result. How TO RESTORE PHOTOGRAPHS.—It is only ne- cessary to immerse the yellow print in a dilute solution of bi-chloride of mercury until all the yellowness disappears. It is then well washed in water to remove the mercurial salt If the print be a mounted one, it is by no means necessary to un- mount it previous to treatment; all that is required in this case is to keep it in intimate contact for a time with blotting-paper charged with the bi- chloride. By the bi-chloride treatment no lost detail is actually restored, as some have imagined. It is simply that the sickly yellow colour, which, as it was buried, the delicate half-tints, or what remains of them, is removed, and thus renders the picture bright and clear. Pictures which have ton treated with the mercury always possess a frfudi warme?' tone than they did originally, as the purple or back tones give way to a reddish brown or reddish purple —more or less bright, according, probably, as gold or sulphur had been the principal toning agent. Here a question very naturally arises with regard to the future permanence of pictures which have been thus" restored," seeing that negatives inten- sified with mercury or transparencies toned with it are so prone to change. In answer to this we may mention that they appear to be permanent—al least that is our experience with some that have been done for many years. There appears to be no further loss of detail, and the whites retain their purity. Indeed, since undergoing the treatment with mercury, no alteration is yet perceptible. A Goon TIME TO PAINT.—The late autumn, perhaps, is the best time of all the year to paint: when the winged insects are at rest, and the sun nc longer sends down blistering rays. Paint put or then out of doors, or any time during the winter when the weather will admit of its application, wil last a third longer than if applied in late spring oi any time during the summer. Now, that work or the cultivated land has mainly ceased, more tinit can he devoted to the work, and it can be done In the home force unaided. Many farmers have at idea that only a professional can apply the protective; substance. The fact of the matter is that Hit professional will get over more ground in a day, anc lie may give a smoother finish, often at the expensi of effectiveness and durability. Any man that car climb a ladder and hold a paint pot may not be afrak to undertake the outbuildings, anyhow. There an lots of recipes for cheap, rough paints that are very durable and plenty good enough for barns and othei outbuildings, where utility is the main desideratum Get a good wide brush—a five-inch one—and lay or a good coat. It will certainly prove an econoiniea outlay, to say nothing of the changed appearance o! the premises as the result of well-painted buildings

Small farms make near neighbours they make good roads they make plenty of good schools and churches there is more money made in proportion to the labour; less labour is wanted; more is raised to the acre, besides, it is tilled better there is nc watching of hired help, the mind is not kept in worry, stew and fret all the time. A farmer has found that the most effectual methoo for eradicating thistles is by pouring a small quantity of benzine around the roots of the plants. It is stated that a single application will entirely kill them. Turn the sheep out into the air and to water early in the morning so as to let their quarters get thoroughly aired out; then, if the weather is bad, put them back again, but let them have fresh air and water. Oat straw is readily eaten by sheep and is a healthful food, especially if harvested before the oats are dead ripe. However rich the soil it cannot be productive with- out culture. By War Office direction, inquiry is being made 9,8 to the propriety of abolishing the valise as part of the equipment of the Foot Guards. Owing to the rail on the port side of the steam- ship Tilton, belonging to Hull, giving way as the vessel was proceeding down the Thames, two of the crew were thrown into the river and drowned. Charles Duncan. engineer, of Headingley, was committed for trial by the Leeds stipendiary on a charge of stealing appliances and material in re- ference to the manufacture of gas burners. The man who was found lying dead behind the grand-stand on Epsom Downs during Derby week has at last been identified as John William Price, bookmaker's clerk, of Lawrence Road, East Ham. An official intimation has been received by the Lord Provost of Glasgow thatit will be impossible for King Edward to visit the Exhibition in that city. The strike of tramway and omnibus employees at Rome has extended to Naples. A limited num- ber of cars are running under police protec- tion.

CURIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT. A serious collision between goods trains oc- curred on the Great Eastern Railway on Mon- day at Coughton Junction, near London, though fortunately unattended by loss of life. Two goods trains going in opposite directions were passing a junction when another goods train ran into them with such force that the third engine was derailed and the train itself com- pletely wedged between the other two. Several trucks were smashed, and the work of removing debris lasted sffitu'al hour 3.
