making 1t about as staple in many drug
stores as is -four at the corner grocery.
Like all good things, it has been largely
initiated. They claim there are unscrupu-
Ious manufacturers who cater to just this
sort OF trade, and some dealers so lacking
IN principle, that because a greater profit
can be made on fraudulent than on genu-
Inc medicines, are willing to delude the
puolc by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters
ana other Tonic Medicines in place of genu-
me Browns Iron Bitters. The company,
nholng these frauds practiced SO extensive
ana all other means inadequate, have at
last determined to try little cold law to
put stop to them. Suits for heavy dam
ages have therefore been commenced
against Non-Secret Medicine Manufacture

ers for selling Browns Iron Tonic; drug
glst in Baltimore, for selling Iron Tonic Bit

medicine was made by Non-Secret Medicine
Manufacturers, and also claimed as an imi-

Tycoon POSTS,
The Revenue Derived from the Pigeon
Service During the Siege of Paris.

The Revenue Derived from the Pigeon
/ Service During the Siege of Paris.
No mention of French postal affairs
would be complete without some notice
of the pigeon service during the siege
of Paris in 1870. The subject has been
almost threshed out, but the financial
side of it does not seem to have been
unduly dwelt on. 1t is somewhat
startling to find that each bird carried
Ell, 520 in postage. The rate was in
round numbers fivepence per word, and
there was registration fee of sixpence.
The postage on the letters averaged
four shillings each, so that on two
hundred letters the return was f40.
The letters were written in groups OF
two hundred on screen, and were
then photographed down as if for the
microscope, onto one of the tiny pages
carried by the pigeon. These pages
were sixteenth of each pellicle, SO
that each pellicle realized sixteen
times f40, or f640, and as each pigeon
load was eighteen pellicles, we get
the total of each birds mail as worth
eighteen times 9640, or 911,520! And
it was well worth it, considering that q
pigeon would sometimes bring in from
Tours as many as fifty thousand dis
patches, and that the balloon with the
birds had first to make its way out OF
Paris over the German lines. The
aronauts had, however much to be
thankful for, for notwithstanding
Krupp's postal guns and various other
devices, only seven balloons were cap
tured by the besiegers.
A pigeon post is at daily work in the
Fits, the communications from island
to island being carried on by the birds
until the inevitable cable comes. The
Fijian exports are chiefly fruit, and as
the fruit would spoil if kept too long
in store, means were necessary to give
early notice of when the picking
should take place, and the news of the
arrival of the various steamers is now
flown through the colony. Till re-

Trees About the House,

One good tree will often redeem
place from uglncss. Nothing else can
give so much grace and beauty TO home
surroundings. A house standing i'm q
yard III which there are no trees ALWAYS
mas an ar OF being unprotected. No
matter how fine the building may be, it
looks dcsolatc and chccrless. There is
something companionable in good
tree, and it gives Il more homclikc char
actcr to home. But many make the
mistake of planting too many trees.
When we set small trees we forget what
they will be in II few years, and we are
likely to plant them too close together.
Most kinds grow too rapidly, and soon
we arc in Il thickct. We have too much
shade. When the question comes up we
find it difficult to decide on which one
to cut down, and very likely we allow
them all to stand awhile longer, wait
ing for circumstances to decide the mat
ter. When we do get around to the
removal of some of them, almost always
we find that all of them have suffered
from crowding, and those we ut last de-
eide to leave are far from being the
symmetrical trees they might have been
if they had been given more ROOM
Another mistake is in planting trees
too near the house. We do not look
ahead far enough to see what they will
be in few years, and the result is, in
many cases, that our windows are OBJ
scurcd by branches, and the sunshine is
barred out. Ii is well enough to have
moderate shade about the house, in GER
tain places, but we do not want it every
where, or SO much of it rs to make
q perpetual gloom about the place.
Therefore, let us make allowance for
growth and development. We can put
shrubs between them to take away the
vacant look. Let the rule which gov
erns the distance between the trees APP
ply to the distance from the house. 1t
Is never the number of trees about
house that attracts us, but the beauty of
each tree. One good one is valuable
possession, while a dozen poor ones are
rs bad rs nonc.-E. L. Rcrford, in the
american Gdricn.

Pet sanders.

Old man Pea Sanders is probably the
most notorious 'moonshincr" in north
Georgia. He has been in Fulton
County Jail eight times on the same
charge.
We saw old man Pea on Saturday
nights north-bound train He was just

The Toccoa people will appreciate the

With an old, nabby wool hat, rim
turned close against the corner on the
left side and keep, searching eye that
was never dazcd during his rs years of
life, old man Pea is the perfect image of
some civilized independence Nothing
abashcs him.
He is afraid of neither man, woman
or beast. He is an inccssant talkcr and
loves TO tell of his tricks on the revenue
officers.
His latest dodge. Just before his last
arrest an officer got off the train at Bel
ton, near which town he lives, and start
ed over to old Peas house. He met an
old man in the road.
"Old man, do you know Pea San

The officer marched on to old man Pea s
house. Old man Sanders turned around
rs the officer went on and muttercd to
himself: Guess you won't find him to-
day. mister"
We said to the old man, "Mr Sanders,
do you intend to keep on moonshning?"
Said he: "Thcm fellcrs in Atlanta aXed
me there and told 'cm | never made
