Odd Facts About Pigeons.

In the pigeon case in the Central Park
Museum are some Of the bones Of that
extinct and much maigned 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. II was .
curious bird, as large as .
swan. The bill In the case is not un-
pigeonlike, though 100 times the size Of
its modern representative. They were
sluggish birds, unable to fly, and laid
single egg about the size Of turkeys.
Another queer pigeon that lived at
that time, and which is now extinct, is
the solitaire. II was found on the island
Of Rodriguez. It was larger than tur-
key, and in general respects resembled
the dodo. Another was the Nasarene,
that was twice as large as the dodo.
But the most remarkable was the
didunculus, q 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. 1875
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 Q strong flavor Of
the nutmeg, Is considered great dainty
by many. II Ia 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
q means Of subsistence, but they seem
to have been appointed to help carry out
one Of the great laws Of nature. II Is q
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 "a
be determined. Some wriSers assert that
the birds arc guided by landmarks, and
give as proof that, when the ground ia
covered with snow, tho birds are con.
fused, and others say that they are in
fiucnced by some magnetic or electric
current, and on this point il is noticed
that birds either fly east or west, north
or south, and when started rise At q
great height, and for . minute hesi'
tate, and then by unknown instinct they
dart off in the right direction. The
/ exact date Of their utilization is moi
known, but, as far Is We know, NOAH
had the honor Of having first pressed
into service our feathered friends. Pliny
says that these birds were used by BrutuI
and Hirtius during the siege Of . towr
by Marc Antony. In 1764, Of the sieg,
of Leyden, they were used by the Primo,
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 b
fed on strawberries, and when dead tha
they should be smbalmed with all honor
In Pliny's time navigators from Oypru
and Egypt carried these birds on thei
galleys, and on their safe arrival liber
ated them to convey the good news !

Decided objection has been expressed on all
sides To the re-erection of the jefferson school
bui1ins it present sit and plan. both because
of the nDitnesS Of the position, with its noisy and
dangerous railroad Surroundings, and for the rea-
son that the shOt-tOwer style of school house has
been generally condemned by leading school au-
thOrities everywhere. The school board commit
TEE upon buildings, who have taken into consider
alton the question OF change of site, report that
II il not good policy, IS general rule, to erect
buildings containing over twelve school rooms
both because of the greater danger from disease,
and from fires and panics arising from the concen-
tratOn OF such large numbers OF scholars in one
builln., and also because by a JudlCiOuS diStri-
button Of the school buildings In different locali-
ties, the children Will have less distance to go in
stormy weather, and the public be thereby better
accommodated. The proximity OF the railroad
tracks to the present site is also matter of Objec
ton Still. in view of all the circumStanceS,-the
large grounds. the central location, and the mani
fest economy of restoring the present building.
together with the difficulty OF securing other sites
equally good and in suitable locations, at any
reasonable price, the committee are OF the opinion
that 1t viii be better to retain the present site
The committee, however, report very decidedly in
cenSure II the manner in which the late building
was constructed. and against repetition OF these
faults lii rebuilding.
We are not prepared to accept the conclusion
that it is advisable 10 rebuild on the present OBJ
Objectionable site and plan. but Ii that is to be
done, the building committee. or whoever has
charge, should see to itthat the wooden stairwayS

Ia paper read before a recent meeting Of the
New Orleans auxiliary sanitary association. DR..
j. Il. Elliot, president of the University of LOuis-
ana, presented some curious and startling facts
with regard to the prevalence and fatality Of con-
suraptiD and the causes of the disease in New
Orleans He declares. in the first place, that
sumption kill, nearly twice as many people in that
cits yellow fever, malarial fever or diarrhel
com ant>, aud furnishes statistics to sust ain his
ASSERTION. From 1869 TO 1879. inclusive. the total
number OF deaths was 1895, OF which s.i93 were
Caused by consumption. i935 by yellow fever 4.S13
BY diarrhCeal Diseases and i521 by nalarill fever
The theory that the excessive mortality from con-
sumption Was caused by the death, during the win
tef0 persons who had contracted the disease In the
north, and who had gone to the southern climate
Ter relief. is also rcfuted by the statistics which
show that the death-rate from this disease has
been greater during the summer months, when
ehese are no northern visitors, than during the
Winter. DR.. Elliot maintains that soil moisture is
The cause OF the disease. He terms consumption
the curse OF the city, and says ii Is due chiefly to
TIC fact that the water level in the soil Is coipc
dent with the surface OF the soil. and he earnestly
advises the people OF New orleans, as they can
not sink the water TO lower level in the soil, to
MT their habitlti0nS above the soil This dis
coyery OF DIR. Elliot that soil moisture tends to
produce or develop consumption may be utilized

The Crops.

There is every indication now that
throughout the South where wheat
is grown splendid yield will be
made this harvest. All along the line
of railroad from Bristol to Atlanta
the wheat fields, taken on an average,
look ten per cent. better than for
twenty years past. The little rus'
that has appeared in few places does
not seem to have done any material
injury. Harvesting is well near done
in Georgia and Alabama, and good
reports are made relative to wheat.
MANY fields oats are looking well
though in some places they are quite
short. Oats do not seem to yield al
they once did in this country.
Corn ficlds are not very well adj
vanced and bad stands are reported
vet ii is too early 10 begin an estimate
of that crop. We may say that upon
, an average crops will be fifty per cent
better IN this section named than they
! were last year. There seems TO b'
an excellent Yield Of fruit in Tic sec
ton we mention.
Large shipments from Georgia are
being made daily which bring an i'm
mense amount of money into tina

same determination to other persons,
and he surely has the right TO ask that
he be taken at his word. He has new
er been a dissembler When he has
been a candidate for Office he said so,
and when he has accepted nomina-
ton he has been successful. He has
taken no part in politics during the
past A years of his own accord. HE has
made no utterance except upon the
demand of his party and his friends.
In fact, no man in the country has
been more thoroughly out Of politics
so far as his own efforts are concern
ed than has the great citizen who has
lived quietly in tho retirement of his
country place, content to spend his
declining days among his friends and
his books. Not even the hystcrical
demand of the men in his own party,
who, in a united chorus with Repub-
lican tricksters have vilified him since
his great success, will be able TO draw
him from the quiet he has earned so
well.-Daily Union, Manchester, n. II,

Early ripcning fruit is the first to
decay.
Lime water is said to be a safe and
effective remedy for the little white
worms found in the soil of flower-pots.
In order TO prevent the spread of
disease, it would be advisable not TO
overfeed, or overtrain the colts, but to
gradually develop their speed, so as
not to weaken their bodily powers be-,
fore they are matured.
When liquid manu"es are too much
diluted fruit trees are injured by
being compelled in seking noursh-
ment TO take up more water than
they need. On the other hand, too
concentrtcd solutions occasion a de-
cay of the roots.
A few sheep could lie kept upon
every dairy farm with profit, and
would be a benefit to the pastures,
eating that which The COWS reject, and
when in winter quarters they would
eat much the COWS refuse, and so
would be oil very small extra cost.
Fine butter can only be obtained
by churning at favorable tcmpcra-
allure. If the temperature of the
cream is too low the butter will be
long in coming, and be hard in text
ure. If the temperature is too high
the butter will come very speedily,
but the productsvill Re greasy, dcsti-
tute of grain and deficient in quaint

I The seeds of goldcnmiIlet form an
excellent grain for feeding chickens
during the first three weeks of their
lives. Very small chicks need very
small seeds, as is shown by their con-
slant search for the minute seeds of
grass. Nature is the best teacher.
Small whole seeds are the best pro-
vision in the grain line for young
birds.

WHAT Is LIFE?

Man awaken from Thy Icthargic state
come forth into the light of reason
and with the tongue Of cloqucnce. tell
me what is life? Is life simply the
existence of the miacral, the vitality
of the vegetable, and the animation
Of the animal Kingdoms oftlIis world
No, It's something more than tins
but man has never been able 10 cont
prehcmd in the trucsi sense of the
word what this thing we call life l.
none but God will ever know; why
this world sprang from chaos, VIII!
the mineral, vegetable and animal
kingdom are so placed in relation Il
one another, as to work out the grand
designs of Him who rules, guides and
directs all these mysterious moments
ever transporting around It's. Although
many things concerning life, its ori,
gin, its design, its work must ever re-
/ main ObliviOus to us. Why despair
The fact that We possess this life, that
we live in this world, that VIC are
governed by certain immutablc laws
all created, designed and ruled b! al
Omnipotent hand, should animate
every human being TO mobler thoughts
and better actions; men spend too
much time trying 70 accomplish
things contrary to the will of God
and the laws Of nature. Although
We know not what life is in all its
complications, let us be content to
live according TO the dictates Of Rca-
son, the laws ofnaturc and the will Of
God. Man only finds the key Of lif'
in time to open the gate of e;enity
with it.
What is Life? A breath. q span,
Of eternity God gives oman,
An inheritance al ike Of all,
by 1t we rise, by 1t we fall.
