THE HOMiNG PIGEON.
Its Utility and the High Rate of Speed &c
Which 1t Attsins-


The homing pigeon i the one kind of
his race that has n distinctly rtiiitariaR
existence. During the Franco-PrussIan
war they were the only means of com
munication Paris had with the outside
world when all the ingenuity IF man
had failed. Since that period the
French and German war departments
have cstablished extensive Government
lofts for the breeding aud training of
these truly remarkable birds 4 prop
osition has also recently been made to
supply our outgoing European steam
ers with trained homing pigeons, to be
used at a distance of not exceeding s.?
to 500 miles from New York; SO. should
any thing happen within this distance,
almost instantaneous word could be
brought to land; SO far, however, the
matter has not taken definite shape. In
build the homer" somewhat resembles
the English carrier, but has not such
heavy wattlcs, and much smaller and
more curved bill; he is not so long in
the body, and is much broader across
the back. The eye is particularly large
and brilliant. and the bird has an
alertness of manner and intelli-
gence of look that is wanting
in other varieties. In color they are a
light blue, with two heavy black bars
across each wing, the throat and breast
being of an iridescent blue and green
mixed. There is also the black, blue
checker, red-checker, red, silver and
white. The interest in these birds in
this country is very great, and the an
nual races excite much attention, val
uable prizes being offered for compcti-
ton, the Homing Pigeon Association
also holding a show of its OVID every
year. The bird was originally deveI-
oped in Antwerp, and from thence i'm
ported into this country. Our fanciers
here have, however. outstrippcd their
European rivals in the matter OF speed
and endurance. as our American bred
birds have demolished all foreign rec
ords for long-distance flying. The av-
erage speed of the ''homer" is about a
mile minute-243 miles in 232 minutes
being the best on record. The average
flight for twenty-four hours of these
homing pigeons is over 500 miles. Mont
gonery flew 1,o51 miles, but took thirty
odd days to get home; naturally much
of this time he was lost somewhere, de-
layed by storms or head-winds, and
may have actually flown twice that dis
tance, but he was never heard of from
the hour he was liberated until he re-
turned to the home loft q month after.

for 1890. At the end Of the last fiscal year
there were lG3, 425 miles of completed road
in this country, equal to one-half the total
railroad mileage of the world. The. cost of
these roads and their equipment was So, 1885,
22l.b16, which is at least 81, 500, 600, 900 more

A Cattle Queen.

A Cattle Queen. 4
Montanian: Mrs. Nat Collins, of Choteau,
has earned for herself the distinction of
being the first lady in Montana to raise.
ship and accompany a bunch of beef steers
to the Chicago markets. On Wednesday
she returned to Choteau from a successful
trip east with two carloads of cattle and
one of horses, which she sold at good
fgures-the cattle in Chicago and the
horses at Sycamore, Iowa. She also made
a visit to friends and relatives in Iowa.
Kansas, Wyoming and Minnesota. The
butchers of Great Falls beset her there
upon the arrival of her bunch of cattle.
After refusing the offers Of these cattle
sharps, Mrs. Collins decided to ship her
cattle but was refused passage on the train
with her stock. Friends, however. finally
induced the management to issue her trans
portation, the same AZ it issued to other
shippers of stock. She then took passage
in the caboose AZ far as st. Paul, whore she
was given a first class ticket to Chicago in
advance Of the cattle train, which enabled
her to make every preparation for their ar
rival and sale. By her good management
she received from 20 to 40 cents more PSF
hundred weight for her steers than others
who paid less attention to details than she
did She sold for 1896 and 1925. Mrs.
Collins will make another trip this fall
with another bunch of cattle.

Wizards Little JIG ke.

Mr.. Willard was in high qlee over a little
joke he proposes to play on the people of
Helena, says the Spokane Review, Of Satur-
day. In coming west he was able to stop
there only three hours and the people were
disappointed. SO they sent him a telegram
yesterday requesting him to stop longer
with them on his return east.
II am going to beard the silverites in
their den," chuckled the great f~inancier,
land shall aend a reply to this telegram,
thanking the people of Helena for their
kind invitation, and informing them that
j shall stop over on my return and address
them on the silver question"
This joke greatly pleased Mr.. Willard,
and the thought Of alarge audience of silver
advocates writhing beneath his ultra-radi.
Cal views. and rendered unable to reply by
the laws of hospitality, seemed to afford
him great satisfaction.
