1EedIcas Uses OF the Carrier
Pigeon.

Dr. Harvey j. Philpot, in letter
to the London Telegraph, writes as
follows:
Il have made valuable use of the
carrier or homing pigeon as an auxili-
airy to my practice. So easily are these
winged unqualified assistants reared
aud trained that | am surprised that
they have not been brought into gen.
eral use by the profession | belong to.
My a,oduS opcrandt is simply this. |
take out half dozen birds, massed
together in a small basket, with me on
my rounds, and when | have seen my
patient, no matter at what distance
from home, | write my prescriptions on
a small piece Of tissue paper, and hav-
ing wound it round the shank of the
birds leg | gently throw the carrier
up into the air. In few minutes it
reaches home, and, having been shut
up fasting since the previous evening,
Without much delay it enters the trap
cage connected with its loft, where it is
al once caught by my gardener or dis
penser, who knows pretty well the time
for its arrival, and relieves it of its dis
patches The medicine is immediate
ly prepared and sent off by the messen-
ger, who is thus saved several hours of
waiting, and [ am enabled to complete
my morning round of visits. Should
any patient be very i'll, and am de-
sirious of having an early report of
him or her next morning, | leave a
bird to bring me the tidings.

ness stand, who declared he did not
believe there was a God, a heaven, a
hell, devil, future punishment, or
salvation OF soul. lie believed 10 the
Darwinian theory of evolution; that
the world and all in it was formed BY
the infexible Law of nature; that the
human race was descended from monk
eys. as the various species of animals
we're descended from the sea and air
and earth. He believed that when he
died, he would decay like other things,
and that would be the last of him.
He believed in conscience, and that
his conscience was his punishment
IF he told lie, he believed his con
science would reproach him as long as
he lived. He had never told lie in
his life, never wronged human being,
aud was the happiest man on earth.
