A Faithful Feathered Pet.

The keenness Of vision and the per-
ceptive faculties of the carrier pigeon
have been noted in song and prose, but
it is doubtful whether the most fanciful
writer ever suggested the probability
that the CANCELS of the air" could find
their way to their homes after an
absence of nine months. This has hap
pened, no ever and a bird owned in
Piftsburg sy Mr.. Hermann Haupt, Of
Sarah street, south side, is entitled to
the distinction that belongs to the
feat The Dis atch, of Pittsburg, says
that one day in June of last year Dir.
Haupt and several of his south side
friends, who are pigeon fanciers, sent
large number of carrier pigeons to Rich
mond, Ind, on trial trip. They were
all excellent flyers, and had been away
en- good many excursions of almost
that distance. Among others Haupt
sent the one which only returned the
other day.
The pigeon is named Favorite, and ii
has very good record as fast and sure
racer. Haupt was much astonished,
therefore, that Favorite did not return
the next day, but he was even more
astonished when he saw the bird alight
and walk into it's own coop the other
day. Haupt thinks that somebody
caught the pigeon and locked it up. with
view of keeping it, and he values
Favorite now more than ever.

sition, has enough elevators to take 1850
persons up to the first story and $50
persons to the top in an hour, and count.
ing all the stairs five thousand visitors
can be admitted to the tower every siSty
minutes. By means of the two elevator,
one can reach the apex in five minutes.
As to the means required for that result
it is estimated at four hundred horse
power. There is consequently installed
at the foot of the tower a pump of -four
hundred horsepower, which will send

He was beyond all power

definite idea. He was beyond all power
of action.
Once he fancied that he heard the cry
of some animal or human being near by,
but he was too far gone to pay much at
tention
At last all seemed to be over with him.
1t was as though the darkness Of night
had gradually closed over him, the roar
ing noise in his ears continued for awhile
and then all was silent.
He had sunk into the inconsistencies
of complete exhaustion.
Il remembered no more" said the
Colonel, until l came to my senses
again, and found myself lying On luxu-
rious bed. in 3 cool pleasant room"
''The first face that saw as l opened
my eyes, was that of the lady who after
ward became my wife. At the time l
thought her an angel from heaven, and
well, she is as near one as a mortal can
be.
81 was very weak, and it was several
days before l fully recovered. Then she
told me the story OF my rescue.
She is extremely fond of scientific pur-
suits, and was botanizing in the forest,
accompanied by her maid and two trusty
servants, when she suddenly beheld the
head and shoulders Of man protrudiug
from the mouth of monster boa, whose
scaly body lay in serpentine lengths
along the ground
Taking it for granted that I was
dead, and chilled with terror, she ut
tered the Mortified cry that I had dimly
heard.
cit brought to her side the servants,
who were armed with sharp axes, to cut
path when necessary through the tang
led underground Of the forest.
"They boldly attacked the serpent
and succeeded in chopping him COM
pletely in two just below the bulge in
his body caused by my feet and legs. 1t
was necessary, however, to slit open the
severed head and neck before | could be
released.
cat first they thought me dead, but
were soon re joiced at discovering ling
ering spark of life"
Under Miss De Silva's directions the
Colonel was taken to her fathers house,
ana there she nursed him back to life
and health.
A tender passion, each for the other,
was developed during his convalescence,
and when he was able to return to the
logging camp, she had promised to be
his wife.
He then learned from one of the In
dian wood choppers of the cowardly
plot against his life.
Jose had seen the gigantic serpent
crawling slowly toward the Colonel while
the latter lay smoking under the tree,
and had determined to assist his master,
Mendoza, to a terrible revenge.
Knowing the stupefying effect of the
yellow berries, the Indian had induced
his companion to partake of them, and
then had left him to his horrible fate.
When he returned to camp, he reported
that the Colonel had been killed and de-
voured by an enormous serpent; but
when news reached the camp that the
supposed dead man was safe at General
De Silva's plantation, he and his unscru-
pulous master, Guzman Mendoza, de-
serted, and were never seen nor heard of
after ward. -ISaturday Night.

Prussian Horsefiesh Sausages.

The amount OF animal food disposed
of in the German capt. l is such that,
divided up equally among the popula-
ton of that city, it yields an allowance
of two and half pounds of meat week
to every man, woman and child in the
place, including infants in arms, mem
bers Of the Legislature and paupers. In
other words says the London Telegraph,
each and every Berliner, irrespective of
age, sex and political opinions, is offici-
ally credited with the consumption Of
141 pounds weight of beef, mutton,
veal, pork, lamb and horsefesh per an
mum No fewer than 1000 horses are
slaughtered yearly for the Berlin meat
market. their flesh being partly sold as
clutch s meat in shops specially
affected 20 retail trade in "Pferde1esch, ="
and partly "worked up" into sausages,
a popular variety of which is hawked
call hot" about the streets late in the
evening and during the smaller hours of
the early morn.
Poor russians are much addicted to
horse flesh, stewed in a savory sauce
nor do the well-to,do disdain it as an
occasional Wand served under its own
lame. IN Germany, Italy, and even
France, the flesh of horses and asses IS
unquest.onably ''coverted into sassang-
ers," like unto the aged hero of one of
Mr. Samuel WelIer's most grewsome
anecdotes in vast quantities and i'm
parts to them close texture, rich color
and aromatic favor, in particular to
Brunswick "Wurst," 'Mertadella of
Bologna" and "Sau>isson de Lyon"
The bulk of the substance to which
these da:nties owe their being, however,
is pork, fresh or sailed; and in ell
probability the 400 pigs that annually
pay the debt of nature in tribute to
Berlinese appetities find their way to
the table in the shape of either sausage
or ham; for Prussians rarely eat roast
pork or fried bacon, whereas they are
never weary of smoked and cured prepa-
rations of pig. Beside devouring this
porcine host, Berlin stands accountant
yearly for the violent death of 127, 800
