Why He Spoke i'm Meeting.

The good done by the falling OF a

There was q rough man at the other
end of the room with a little girl in his
arms.
Everybody has infuence-even that
little child" said the lecturer, pointing
to her.
That's true, sir" said the man.
Everybody looked around, of course,
but the man said no more, and the lect-
urer proceeded.
At the close the man came up to the
gentleman, and said /:

not help speaking. 1 was a drunkard,

Odd Facts About Pigeons.

In the pigeon case in the Central Park
Museum are some of the bones of that
extinct and much maligned bird, the
dodo, the giant of pigeons, being the
only specimen In the country. Two
hundred and fifty years ago they
were found in the Mauritius islands
in great quantities. 1t was a
curious bird, as large as a
pigeonlike, though 100 times the size Of
its modern representative. They were
sluggish birds, unable to fly, and laid a
single egg about the size of a turkeys.
Another queer pigeon that lived at
that time, and which is now extinct, Is
the solitaire. 1t was found ON the island
of Rodriguez 1t was larger than tur-
key, and in general respects resembled
the dodo. Another was the Nazarene,
that was twice as large as the dodo.
But the most remarkable was the
didunculus, living relative, and closely
allied to the dodo. The bird was rather
larger than our common partridge, and
possessed the curious naked skin sur
rounding the eyes which characterized
its ancestor.
One of the finest of the thirty or more
different species of pigeons is the
oceanic fruit bird of the Pelen islands.
There they are found In thousands, feed
ing ON nutmegs. They become very fat,
and the fat, which has strong flavor OF
the nutmeg, is considered great dainty
by many. 1t is said that they grow so
fat that when shot they fall on the
ground and are shattered to pieces by
the fall. Not only are they valuable as
a means of subsistence, but they seem
to have been appointed to help carry out
one of the great laws of nature. 1t is a
well-known fact that the nutmeg has to
pass through some chemical process be-
fore it will grow, and in the stomach of
these birds the nutmeg Is prepared for
reproduction.
The question how carrier-pigeons find
their way home is probably one never to
be determined. Some writer's assert that
the birds are guided by landmarks, and
give as proof that, when the ground is
covered with snow, the birds are con-
fused, and others say that they are in
fiuenced by some magnetic or electric
current, and on this point it is noticed
that birds either fly east or west, north
or south, and when started rise at
great height, and for a minute hesi-
tate, and then by unknown instinct they
dart off in the right direction. The
exact date of their utilization is not
known, but, as far as we know, Noah
had the honor of having first pressed
into service our feathered friends. Pliny
SAYS that these birds were used by Brutus
and Hirtius during the siege of a town
by Marc Antony. In 1764, mt the siege
OF Leyden, they were used by the Prince
of Orange, and by their means he sue
ceeded in freeing town that was be-
sieged. To show his gratitude he or
dered that the sagacious birds should he
fed ON strawberries, and when dead that
they should be embalmed with all honor.
In Pliny's time navigators from Cyprus
and Egypt carried these birds on their
galleys, and on their safe arrival liber-
ated them to convey the good news to
their families. -NeW York San.

thirty feet from the ground, imbedded
in the solid timber, and looking, from
the rings around it, as if it had been
there for ages, was found the thigh bone
of an adult human being, presumably
mans. Let it be borne in mind that
this bone was in solid log, though too
short for a saw-log that the timber all
around it was green-no knot-holes or
dead wood. How did it get there?
When discovered one of the men struck
into it with the bit of an AK. The AK
broke, and the piece is still firmly i'm
bedded in the bone.

Two woRKMEN on the Baltimore and
Ohio road lately gave wonderful evil
dence of their fidelity, deliberately
choosing death to themselves in order
to protect the lives of hundred others
who were in the care of the company.
John Sullivan and his brother, Michael,
were ut work on the track near DENIM
Ter Station, Pa. John Sullivan was the
section-boss of the subdivision between
McKeesport and Port Perry, and he had
made tour along the track to see if
everything was in proper condition. He
found rail that was not quite straight ;
so he and his brother took II heavy track
mans crowbar and lifted the rail up to
straighten it. While they were busy at
work train with heavy load of pas
sengers came along. There was a curve
just below the place where the men were
working, and they did not see the train
until it was almost upon them. They
took in the situation at glance. The
rail which they had been fixing was lift
ed up and the huge crowbar was wedged
tightly in such position that the train
would certainly be thrown from the
track unless the bar were removed. On
one side of the track was hill and on
the other q steep bank running down to
the river, SO if the train was thrown
from the track while under full head
way of steam there would undoubtedly
be an appalling loss of life. The men
seized the bar and began frantically to
pull and twist it about. The engineer
of the train saw them, but could not
stop. He says that their efforts to free
the crowbar and to lower the rail were
frantic and like the workings of mad
men, and they seemed to forget their
own danger. The bar was loosened and
the rail lowered just as the train reached
it, but the men who had done so nobly
paid dearly for their daring. The en-
CINE struck them and killed John in
stantly, and mangled Michael so fright
fully that he died in a short time.

Punished.

You can never answer q bully with
moral suasion. To put down such a man
effectually, one must be able to crush
him down. How "tall Gen. Simpson y
served an insulting braggart in -ench
coffee-house, many years ago, is thus re-
lated in COlburn's United Service Mag
dzine:
When the allies occupied Paris, the
French officers, ut all times superior
with the small sword, and equal with
the pistol to Englishmen, took every OPP
portunity to insult the officers belonging
to the army of occupation.
1t had been alleged that there was a
club of Frenchmen, the members OF
which had sworn to devote their lives to
the killing off one by one of the English
army.
There was one Frenchman who boast
ed of having killed dozen of English
officers, and promised to go on in this
work.
One evening, he staggered as usual
into the cafe, and, to his establishment,
actually saw one OF those hated English
soldiers occupying his chair, be it re-
membered, that no one hitherto had
dared to sit upon except himself.
Mastering his passion, he undid his
sword-belt, and, having placed his sword
on one side, began to insult the perfectly
inoffensive English officer who sat SO un.
conscious In his (the Frenchman' y
chair.
He trod upon the English toes, he de.
prived the Englishman of his candles,
he went from one thing on to another
without at all being able in the least ap.
parently to disturb the others placidity.
At last he snatched the newspaper out
of the Englishman's hand, and then the
Briton slowly rose up, displaying to the
astonished eyes of the Gaul Guards
man some six feet six inches high.
The giant, bending across the table,
seized hold of the Frenchman's nose
with one hand, and his chin with the
other, and, wrenching his mouth open,
spat down his throat.
With howl, the Frenchman, holding
his under jaw with both hands, ran oul
of the room. His jaw was broken, and
neither he nor any of his comrades were
seen again ut the cafe.
We may as well add that the English
officer who thus made an example of Q
bully was the late Gen. Sir James Simp
son, who for n time commanded in the
Crimea, and who, from the day he joined
the service until his death, was the tallest
officer in the British army.

What Made Him Mad.

Yesterday afternoon GiIhooly saun-
tered up to fruit-stand, and, after ex-
aiming some of the fruit, asked the
Major General in command If he believed
in the Bible.

a member of the Baptist Church for
twenty-five years"
eff you believe in the Bible, then /
suppose you admit that men are judged
by their fruits, and that by their fruits
We shall know them," and, picking up
an orange, Gilhooly showed him where
there was decayed spot as big as q
half-dollar on il. The kick that good
man discharged at Gilhooly knocked q
hole in the awning five feet above his
head.

ONE of graduated class of law stu
dents, who had just passed an examina-
ton to practice, appeared in court mt
Rochester to be sworn. His hand was
on the Bible, when fellow-student OBJ
jected, on the ground that the candi-
date owed him 50. BE wished the court
to understand, he said, that he was not
there to collect the paltry debt, but he
thought man who would cheat class
mate out of even a small sum (being, by
the way, money paid as fine for
drunkenness) ought not to be sent out
into the world as O lawyer to swindle
clients. Judge Mullin permitted the
filing Of an affidavit, and the oath was
postponed.

THE terrible Oriental plague known as
the "black death, 4" that in former years
caused such devastation in Europe, and
that in 1874 made its reappearance in
Tripolis long after men had ceased to
fear its visitations, is still alive, and has
recently appeared in Armenia and on the
borders of the Caspian sea. In 1876 it
showed itself in Mesopotamia. In 1878
it crossed the boundary line of Russia,
and cases that were detected in Nishni-
Novgorod, Moscow and other places
spread uneasiness throughout Europe.
Germany and Austria closed their boun-
daries and cut off all communication,
railway as well as other, from the empire
of the Czars. The dread disease did not
spread in Russia, and finally disappeared
from the European domain, some say on
account of the energetic sanitary and
quarantine regulations of Loris Melikotf,
others because the atmospheric condi-
tons happened to be unfavorable to its
extension. But the "black death" has
continued its work ever since, and has
just given a sign of renewed activity by
annihilating whole party of pilgrims
from Mecca, and crossing the Euphrates
to show itself once more IN Mesopota-
mia.

MANY birds are killed daily by rail-
road trains. The victims are mostly
pigeons. as these birds visit the track
looking for grain dropped from passing
freight trains. The birds are generally
killed by express trains, as, when they
are feeding they do not make any at
tempt to rise until the train is almost
upon them, and then, before they can
escape, they are struck by the upper
part of the engine. If male bird is
killed. it is said that the female will
leave the little ones to care for them
selves, as she will not look for food, and
so many young pigeons perish.
