ABOUT PIGEONS.
Pigeons can walk, but cannot hop.
Most other birds can hop, but cannot
walk.
Pigeons are not exactly polygamists,
but the males have no particular mate
and they will feed the young of any
mother.
The pigeon is the only bird that drinks
by draught or suction, as we do. All
other birds raise their heads and let
the water run down by gravity and then
dip the bill for another crop.
There is a language called pigeon
English. It is really pidgin Eng
lish, for pidgen is a Chinese word
and means business, and pidgin Eng
lish is a mixture of Chinese and English
and of signs by which business is trans
acted in the ports between natives ami
foreigners.
Pigeons do not feed their young with
worms or bugs, but the old birds digest
their food in their own craws into a
curd and eject it into the mouth of their
young. It is because of this that very
young pigeons or squabs generally die
when they are given away.
TO TREAT A BURN.
The white of egg is good for slight
burns.
Never use flour or cotton batting, as
their tendency is to stick to the raw
surface.
For sunburn or caused by
mustard an excellent application is bi
carbonate of soda mixed with equal
bulk of vaseline.
Burns with alkalies like soap lye
should be bathed in diluted vinegar,
then sweet oil. Burns with acids should
be deluged with water, then treated
like other burns
Bicarbonate of soda is a safe and ef
fectual remedy for burns and scalds.
Make into a paste and apply to the raw
surface, keeping in place by thin cot
ton or linen bands. Renew from time
to time until the skin is healed.
An elevated railroad is to be con
structed between Chattanooga and
Lookout Mountain. The new line will
be 2,300 feet long.
A strong-minded woman never has an
extra pin about her person.

BITS OF EMERSON.
Read in the line of your genius.
With consistency a great soul has
limply nothing to do. He may as well
concern himself with his shadow on the
wall.
1 think sometimes, could I only have
music on my own terms; could 1 live in
a great city, and know where I could go
whenever I wished the ablution and in
undution of musical waves, that were
a bath and a medicine.
For everything that is given some
thing is taken. Society acquires new
arts and loses all instincts. The civil
ized man has built a coach, but has lost
the use of his feet; he has a tine Geneva
watch, but cannot tell the hour by the
sun.
We must have kings, we must have
nobles; nature, is always providing
such in every society; only let us have
the real instead of the titular. In every
society some are born to rule and some
to mhlse. The chief is the chief all the
world over, only not his cap and plume.
It is only this dislike of the pretender
which makes men sometimes unjust
to the true and finished man.
WONDERS OF THE CALENDAR.
Since the reform of the calendar by
Pope Gregory XIII., in 1582, no century
can begin with a Wednesday, a Friday
or a Sunday. The same calendar can
be used every 20 years.
January and October of the same
year always begin with the same day.
So do April and July, also September
and December. February, March and
November also begin with the same aay.
New Year’s day and St. Sylvester's day
also fall on the same day, except, of
course, in leap yean.
