Military Pigeon-F FLYING.

The Director of Fortiications of the
French Minister of war has appointed
Captain Thomas Cadithat, of the S0th
Infantry Regiment, to visit the principal
towns OF France, with a view to the
formation of National Carrier Pigeon
Union.
Since the Franco-German War the
erection of military pigeon-houses has
been steadily continued, it is expected
that the War Office in co-operation with
provincial SOCIETIES, will employ from
25, 900 to 10000 OF these aerial mes
Sengers.
In every German fortress or town of
strategic Importance is to be found a
pigeon station, under the orders of the
Army Telegraph Department. 1t is i'll
charge OF .none-commissioned officer OF
Engineers, specialist, and two privates,
who are under the direct authority of
the Commandant. In time of war this
staff is doubled, and an officer takes
Command. The number of birds in each
station varies according to position, but
the average force will be POO. Strasburg
and Metz share at the present time 60C
pigeons between them, and Thorn has
200; but the latter town will soon have
accommodation for 900.
\ minute-book is kept at each station
with a complete record of every pigeon
its experiences, journeys, speed, &c
1t may be mentioned that an ordinary
carrier flies on an average 500 metres
per minute, or about p miles in the hour

The Grass Tree.

Down in Australia, that great island
where the Creator seems to have planted
the seed of many of His wonders to be
found in the vegetable kingdom, grows
a tuee that is little heard OF by the OUT
side world, but which is of inestimable
value to the native, who depends more
upon the productions OF nature for 'ex-
istence and happiness than upon the
creations of art and science. 1T is the
grass tree. 1t is OF small growth, being
hardly more than shrub. At the top
are tufts of foliage resembling palms,
from the center OF which long slender
spike shoots out, covered with flowers of
varied and beautiful hues.( The base of
the leaves of this tree furnish the native
With food, it being very palatable when
roasted. The sapof the tree is balsam-
ic exudation, which when exposed to the

air becomes hard and dry. This is one
of natures best tonics for dysentery,
diarrh9a and other intestinal maladies
it is also used by the natives for healing
wounds, which it does very quickly;
and when it is mixed with alluvial, soil
it forms very tenacious cement, which
is used for caulking canoes.

Pecan and other Nut Trees.

Over twenty years ago newspapers
sccmed with dissertations on the raising
4 ~ pecans, walnut, chestnut, and other
u N0t~bearing trees in our State. 1t took
ON me like vaccination. At great ex-
I gselsSe, obtained about barrel of fresh
RNtS, VIA, Panama, planted them and
they failed, Hundreds of others whom
/ have since met had similar expert
essee, just now the subject is being
written up again, largely by partins in
the East who have nuts OF these trees to
sell, Again will an aggregate of thous-
ancss OF dollars be invested in nuts to be
planted, which will produce, chiefly, a
new crop of failures
But can't these trees be successfully
and protitably grown in our state? /
answer, yes And in veritication of that
answer can show you here on my place

ing, but it has taken me many years.
and the expense and disappointment of
many failures to learn how to do it. Here
are few facts to first learn: |. They
will not grow anywhere in the great in
terror valley of California without irriga-
ton. ,. Irrigation water touching one
of these trees in hot weather will certain
ly kill it. 3. The nuts quickly become
rancid in our hot autumns, where no
amount of irrigation or other care will
ever cause them to germinate.
TO guard against terminating power of
the nuts being lost y--rancidity, have
them boxedin dry earth as soon as ripe,
and at once shipped to the place to be
planted. Have your ground ready and
plant at once.
Prepare the ground by plowing out
deep bitches, running east and west, a
rod apart. Turn water into these so as
to get the water mark on the side of the
ditch. Plant Your nuts OH the south
side of the ditch, the nut to lie Just level
with the top of the water, when your
bitches are full in irrigation, and about
a foot back from the water, so that when
the tree grows above the surface it will |
stand foot back from the water and six !
or eight inches above it.
If you were to plant on the north in
stead of south side of ditch, the increased |
heat of the sun from the slope of the |
bank facing it, together with its retiec- |
ton from the water, would burn your
trees up in the first hot spell of the sum-
mer. 1fyour bitches were to run in any
other direction than east and west you
ie1sd Ssst not ;a, Giye % yoTr trees SO good pro-
having them set the slope (facing
north) of the south bank of your ditch.
If you plant young trees, none older
thana year should be planted; even with
yearlings it is best to cut the tops en-
tirely off before planting them.-W. 4.

represents an additional chance of saving
the child's life or warding off the organic
mischief which pulmonary intiammations
are liable TO leave behind them. Children
are not safely through the danger of pull
monary complication from Hooping-coug
for many months after the disease has mani
tested itself. For this reason the greatest
care should be taken to guard against their
taking cold, even during the summer
months.
Commissions are frequent complication
of Hopping cough in infants. The parox-
ysms of coughing tend to shake the ran,
and in additfsn to this the frequent obstrnc-
ton to respiration interferes with the circu-
lation of aerated blood through the brain.
1t is from this cause that the larger proper
ton of fatalities from Hooping-cough may
| be said to arise. Unfortunately but little
can be done. No sensible mother will dose
little babies with physic, and especially with
the deadly soothing syrups, paregorics and
narcotic preparations so dear to the old
school nurses. Squills and ippecacuanha
are permissible, and in moderate doses will
ease the cough and prevent possible lung.
mischief, but of all the thousand-and-one
infallible remedies for "hooping-cough" il
may be safely said that the best is that
it can do no harm if it does no good
and that the disease will wear itself out
while the parents are eXhausting their ener
gies on the trial of fresh prescriptions from
the pharmacopeia of wise women ant
quacks.

Then another engraver took his life and
his cold-chisel in his hand, and blocked out

Nature intended that my Scandinavian hair

Later on, another engraver took hold Of
the matter.
He went at it hopefully and even hilar

shade over his eyes, and adjusted his boiler

should come in on him while he was al
