By Injecting M. A W. quick-repair cement througn the puncture into this Inner tube, and then pressing down on the tire with the thumb, like this,
the repair strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture,

which authorities dmagree. The most general opinion among those who know anything of the subject is that the bird fly by sight alone. This theory would seem to be borne out by the fact that tb bet and most highly bred of racing birds have frequently been lost in the Loudon foga The fact that instinct is
unerring and that the homing pigeon possihlf
not only frequently errs, but exhibit at times great indecision as to the correct course for him to pursue, seems to preclude the idea that he is governed solely by instinct The theory which is most generally accepted is that the bird is gifted with remarkable eyesight and also with a memory for landmarks which is superior to a similar faculty in any other animal That the bird possesses a high order of intelligence is shown from the fact that homers which have become lost in a race will frequently return to the room in which they have been kept at the starting point of their speed test. In selecting homing pigeons for racing purposes even the best fanciers often pick out birds as most like racers that cannot fly 20 miles without becoming lost. The meanest, most scraggy looking bird, without a single good point, sometimes leaves its handsome competitor, who is, to all appearances, perfect in physical proportions, far in the rear. Mil), fanciers look with interest at four points in a homing pigeon which are considered of prime importance. The first of these is, strange as the fact may appear to a novice in the art, the eye, Mr. Starr, one of the foremost and most successful of American fanciers, has this to say -of the eye : -"The white eye may mean the cumnlet, and, if so, indicates that the bird will fly high, have great endurance and wing power. If the eye is dark, the head round and the beak short and close fitting, there will be a preponderance of the owl type, and the result will be that the bird will fly later at night than any other type. But, whatever the character of the color, the ball most extend beyond the line of the head and be so placed that the bird should hsve a view of what is behind as well as before it. When a bird returns from a journey over much new territory, this protrusion of the eyeball is greatly increased, showing to what a great strain the powers of vision have been subjected." While Mr. Starr, in common with other successful American fanciers, pays little or no attention either to the sise or shape of the head, this point is the
second at which European fanciers look . (Jontributore
with interest It is generally conceded thst the shape makes but little difference. The skull may be flat, long and narrow, or high, short snd wide, but it
must have room for the brain, and for a
large brain at that, or else the bird is not considered a likely candidate for racing honors. Ureat stress is laid on this organ by all Belgium aud Holland fanciers, but in this country tho feature is almost entirely overlooked. The chost should be broad aud is of as great importance as the wing. A narrow chested bird can fly no great distance without exerting the muscles which give fullness to the breast beyond their endurance. The wings and tail ahould both be exceptionally long, aa the tall acta as a rudder, and the short
er wiugs require much added exertion

The color of a pigeon has no signifi
cance, but the rule in breeding is to cross the colors when practicable. Even the best bred of the homers require most careful and intelligent training before they are entered in races. While the physique of the bird is well dr. .Moped at the age of 10 weeks, it is thought best to give a considerably longer Mme for the brain to develop before the bird is trained for the work which lies ahead of him. At the age of 4 mouths the first trial trips may be made, and he is then flown from distances of between S and 90 miles at intervals qf two or three days apart Many birds are lost in these trial trips, and thoae which return safely from the longer trial trips may be considered fit to enter iu the yeang bird races. The shortest of these is 100 miles in length, and birds are not supposed to be flown more thsn IM) miles before taking part in the speed trials. For the young birds the system of training is supposed to accomplish two widely different results. In the first place they teach the young bird to return to bis loft, and in the second they develop the muscles and prepare them for the hard work which tne races will require of them. Training trips for older birds are made with the sole view of getting their muscles limbered opsgain and toughened for the longer races. Chicago Chronicle.

stag "Literal children, or, more properly, children who take vour chiding lit ral-
i ly. are holy terrors," relates a young man noted for his politeness to ladies. "I was iu a herdic the other day which 1 was much crowded, though no one was i standing at the time. Presently a lady I and gentleman got in, and I gave my ! seat to the lady, leaving the old gentleman standing. Immediately a young I lady sitting in one end of the herdic called to her little sinter, a child of 0 I perhaps, who was sitting near the door I at the other end, to come to her and j give her seat to the elderly gentleman. I The child came willingly enough, and I while the sister was muling hsr a lesson I in manners a passenger got out, and I I took a seat. ' ' Never let me see you remaiu seated ag;n when people older I than you are standing," closed the lecture, and the child was crowded, half
sitting, half standing, between the older sister and the lady next to her. Two minutes later a pretty girl got in, and
iof coarse, as the only gentleman iu the
herdic, I gave her my seat. No sooner had I done so than that small terror wte on her feet "Oh, mister," she said in sweet, shrill accents, "you take my seat ! You'i older than me. " And everybody laugh cd, of course, trust a lot of giggling girls for that, for the only place on earth that I could have "taken a seat" was on the sister's lap, from which the child had slid. I didn't take the seal, but I did take to the street and walked five blocks in a drixzling rain to get away from the giKgle of those gir la Washington Star.
