Pigeon-raising would seem to the casual observer a business of more or less pastoral nature, and not of a sort to he obviously connected with theft and the police courts; but re cent discoveries of certain methods indulged in by some people on the lower East Side have dispelled the belief that they have any great amount of pastoral simplicity. Among the va rious foreign colonies pigeon-raising has become a favorite pursuit, and many are the large flocks of pigeons which are to be seen settling down in a white cloud on the roofs of the lofty tenements in the lower districts. The very increase in the business has given rise to a unique, if reprehen sible, way of adding to the flocks of birds—that Is, by making one's own flock attract the strangers, until they can be caught and caged. The plan of the pigeon-thief is this; He goes to the roof of his apartment-house armed with a long pole, which does not alarm the denizens of his own aviary; when an alien flock appears, he stirs up his birds till they fly off in the air. Here begins the excitement. It is a trial of strength between the two flocks. The battle is to the strong, and if the new flock, which is dipping find turning and hesitating, greeting With friendly pecks and bird-chatter the birds which have been beaten up to meet them, is not of a resisting na ture. in a short time their numbers are absorbed by the "runners." The two flocks then attempt to settle down in a friendly way upon the home roof of the first flock. This the owner does not allow, ! knowing he could never catch them so. Ho beats them off with his pole again and again. The poor pigeons fly dis tractedly about until, out of pure ex haustion, panting and confused, they are ready to fall. Then the captor scatters grain on his roof, and while the weary birds eat, ho catches them and puts them in a coop. The owner of the lost flock, finding thc.v do not return to him. hunts about where his birds are. By paying 50 or I 00 cents apiece for the trapped pig- 1 eons, he can get them out of the "pig- : eon-pound." Recently a little East j Sider boasted that he had just earned j $0 by giving up 10 pigeons he had j caught in this way. Although the I scheme is generally known, few in jured owners seek legal redress; they I prefer rather to "get it beck" on some J other fancier.—New York Post. Kot YVlint He Needed. A Walnut Hill resident made up his 1 mind a few days ago to begin taking ; Ice from thfc local ice trust. Having ' various brands of bottled goods in ills I refrigerator, he thought it best to have the Ice man leave the ice on the back ! porch. Accordingly he came down j town one morning, and, dropping into j a hardware store, purchased a pair of i ice tongs. "I'm going to carry my own Ice into the house and put it into my refrigera- ' tor," he said in explanation of his pur- j chase. Two or three days later he again j entered the store, bringing the ice tongs with him. Walking up to the clerk who had sold him the tongs, the man said: "Say, I made a mistake when I bought these things. I don't need a ! pair of ice tongs; what I need is a sponge."—Omaha World-Herald. Franco and Our ApploM. France is about to follow in the wake of England in taking to the American apple. Happily, however, that does not mean that we shall suf fer any diminution in the quantity we annually get, which has risen to 2,000,000 barrels in a season. The American yield has been as much as 210,000,000 barrels in a season. In deed, it is probable that the whole of Europe could be supplied without any great difficulty, seeing that every win ter from 6.000,000 to 10,000,000 barrels of apples are carried In cold storage In the United States. —London Chronicle. So far as a "finished" education Is concerned, the girls seem to be getting the better of the boys. In 1809 the public high schools of the United states graduated 20,344 boys and 80,124 girls.
