but the accuracy with which it found its
tect the pigeon as much as possible
from the eye of the human enemy and
the hawk it had also to be of particu-
lar color.
To obtain this race breed was at last
obtained which combined great strength
of wing, rapid flight and quick eye
for localities, and which was able to find
its own food in strange district. The
bird in which are best united these quail
tiles is the Belgian carrier pigeon, which
consequently is found at nearly all mill
itary pigeon stations.
Having thus obtained breed of pig
cons specially suitable for military
purposes, the sprightly members of the
young race are at once taken in hand
by the drilling-master. As soon as a
bird can fly it is taken short distance
from the parental cot, to which it has
to make its way back as best it can.
The distance is increased every time
the bird is taken out, and at the end of
three months the modern Hermes finds
its home from distance of fifty miles.
At an age up to two years it manages
two hundred miles, and full-grown,
experienced bird is not baffled by three
times that distance. 1t seldom happens
that single bird is missing from a
flight which has traversed distance up
to seventy or eighty miles; but on great
er journeys being undertaken by the
adjutantS of the air the same message
is always given to several pigeons, in
order to assure it's arrival at its destina-
ton even if bird went astray or was
killed on its way. The average speed at
which carrier pigeon flies is estimated
at rather more than half mile per
minute.
The present organization Of the army
Of doves is that military carrier-pigeon
cotes are kept in large fortresses. The
various battalions of these warriors
live in different parts of the cot, accord
ing to the direction in which they have
been trained to fly. If a war breaks
out. and Russia, for example, should
fear an invasion of her frontier dis
trict, the pigeons trained to fly from
Ivangorod to Warsaw are taken from
Warsaw to Ivangorod, and those trained
to fly from Warsaw to Ivangorod are
taken in the opposite direction. As
soon as the necessity arises a certain
number Of birds are let loose to supply
the besieged fortress with news from
the outer world. If the pigeons can
not be taken back, either by balloon or
some other means, to the place from
which they started, they are no longer
of any use in the present war.
Passing over in diplomatic silence the
number and names of the German mill
tary carrier-pigeon stations, the writer
concludes by pointing out that at the
end of 1887 Russia had five such stations,
and an increasing number of private
carrier-pigeon societies; Belgium has
over one thousand of the latter; France
had no less than twenty in 1886; Aus
tria is somewhat remiss in establishing
dove-cotes, but the Government looks
with much favor upon private institu-
tions Of the same kind, and Italy had
last year twelve fortresses stocked with
carrier pigeons, besides two cotes at
Massowah and Assab, which were in
capital working order.

Suppose, now, that instead of living
for all these centuries under a system
of male suffrage. says Hon. John d.
Long, of Massachusetts, we had been
living under system exclusively of fe-
male suffrage. Suppose no man had
ever voted: suppose all this time that
women had had the exclusive right of
suffrage; and suppose it should at last
dawn upon the men that they were de-
prived of both the election of their Gov
errors and the making of the laws; and
suppose they should assert their right
to cast ballot. and suppose the women
having that right should use against
them exactly the arguments which they
to-day use against the women. Suppose
it should be said that the business of
man is to buy and SELL to run railroads,
to keep store, and engage in the out
door transactions of life; that men are
not fitted for this matter of voting; that
their business is to supply bread and
butter for the family. How long do you
suppose they would stand any nonsense
of that kind? Can not you hear how
loud they would roar at you the truths
of the Declaration of Independence, that
all men are created free and equal, that
government derives its powers only from
the consent Of the governed, and that to
exclude them was outrage, injustice and
Enthusiastically as it is outrage, in
justice and barbarism to exclude women
who have equal intelligence and an
equal interest at stake, from the exer-
else of suffrage in the election of their
rulers and in the making Of their laws.

HOW the Disease Makes ltS F1rSt appear.
ance-Method OF Treatment.
The raspberry is usually hardy in the
Northern States. though occasionally
affected by diseases commonly caused
by long-continued unfavorable climatic
conditions. AS general answer to in
quiries that have been made on the sub
ject, it may be said that if the disease
first appears on the canes near the base,
producing small purple spots variously
scattered around it and growing more
minute as they approach the tips and
causing the framework of the leaves to
show whitish blister-like spots, it is
caused by a fungus that attacks the
raspberry and blackberry, as shown in
the illustration.
The disease rarely spreads injuriously
during dry weather, but most rapidly
during damp seasons and at times when
moisture collects in drops on the canes.

The external organs of hearing are
reproduced in silver SO artistically as to
almost defy detection. A mold of tho
patients remaining ear is made, If he
has any, and facsimile in silver is
turned out. If the patient is -earless,
two regular lobes are furnished. This
may appear somewhat simple, but
science can do more. 1t can replace q
broken tympanum, and who knows that
the time may not be near when deaf
people can be SO operated upon that, by
the introduction of an artificial auditory
canal, tympanum and internal ear, with
its conch labyrinths, they can be made
to hear. Artificial ears cost 500 apiece.
The nose, hard palate and walls Of
the nasal cavity can be produced in
silver and celluloid to accommodate any
degree of designation, whether caused
by disease or by an accident. Some
times the false nose is attached per-
manently to pair of spectacles. This
method, however, has its disadvantages,
as the joining of the false cartilage with
the cheek can easily be detected. A
better way is to have the false nose held
in place by springs in the nasal cavity.
1t is just as easy to order Roman pro-
boscis as pug" SO the patient gener-
ally selects better-looking nose than

Raising Calves.

One of our subscribers writes that he
often sees the statement made that the
calf that is permitted to run with the
COW will make better animal than one
that is fed by hand. He says: Il deny
it. I know better from experience"
No doubt there are really some ad-
vantages in raising calf by hand, and
certainly just as good an animal will
develop under that system, if the man
agement is right, as would develop from
q calf that ran with a COW. If it were a
fact that the calf were greatly injured
by taking it from the COW, it would be
highly desirable to institute rigid in
quiry if it paid do it. Certainly, says
the Western Rural, if the calf is
raised by hand it is possible to feed it
better and push it harder. There is not
the danger that comes from disordered
condition of the mother. We know
just what the calf is eating all the time,
if our system is a good one. 1t is un-
questionably better for the COW to re-
move the calf, for then she is MIXED
regularly and MIXED clean every time,
a very important matter. If the calf is
not permitted to run with the cow all
the time, there are hours together when
the calf should have food and does not
get it. Upon the whole We think that
there is nothing detrimental to the we'll
being Of the calf to raise it by hand, if
it is properly done.
