|. Pigeons in journalism.

The Edinburgh evening papers have a
trained service of carrier pigeons for use
at race meetings, football or cricket
matches, shooting competitions, etc., and
in out of the-way districts where there
is no telegraph or telephone within easy
reach they are often very useful.
They are housed in quarters specially
erected for them on the fiat roof of the
Office, the dovecote including an ingen.
ious trap arrangement and electric bell.
When a reporter desires to use the
pigeons he leaves word the night before
with the person in charge of them. This
is very necessary. When they are to fly
far on any particular business it is better
that they should be only lightly fed in
the morning. The pigeons-two or four,
as may be required-are caught In the
morning and placed In q comfortable
wicker or tin basket, like a small lunch
con basket, with compartments. The
reporter, when he leaves the office, car
ries the basket with him. He also pro-
vides himself with a book of fine tissue
paper, "fimsy," and a sheet of carbon
lied paper, "a black" He writes hi
report very legibly and compactlY, so as
to put as much on page of "fimsy" al
it will possibly hold. Then he rolls tho
"flimsy" neatly up and attaches it tt
the leg of the bird by means of an elastic
baud. Or he may send two. pages o.
'flimsy," one on each leg. The pigeon
being released, makes straight for home

The american Wool Reporter sees the
solution Of the deserted farm problem in
Nov England In the rising of sheep.
"Many OF these deserted farms, " Il saws,
"can bo bought from IS to SIS per acre,
and there are clusters of them where 1000
or moro acres can be secured in a body.
These farms can bo stocked with grade
Shropshires aud Southdowns costing at
from So to SO per head, but those breeds
of course should not be run in hocks of
moro than thirty to forty head each. We
have recommended Shropshires and
Southdowns because of their superior
mutton qualities, and because they are
hardy and early to develop. The Hamp-
shircdown will also please, perhaps
equally as we'll, and furnish most tooth
some mutton. Tho New England muttol
raiser is not only favored with sweet feed
among the limestone aud granite lodges
and in the green valley of his domain,
but is also additionally favored by a close
proximity to the best markets in the
country, where early lambs need never
to hunt buyer and where prices for
prime mutton are always good"

Thought Hole Through a Board.

A celebrated electrician stated that he
could easily "think hole through an
inch board" and by connecting drill
so that it could be actuated by the cur
rent produced, he actually did it. A. u.
Dolbear, writing on this subject, says
that the experiment, far from being new
or inpracticable, was carried out in this
country more than twenty years ago by
DR.. Lombard, Of Harvard College. A
thermopile was connected with delicate
astatic galvanometer, and O person
selected for the test. The individual
was placed in a reclining position and
the thermopile touched his head. A
certain place was found where the TEN.
perature changes in the skull were moro
quickly apparent than elsewhere, and
the instrument was fixed ut that place.
So long as the subject remained mentally
passive the galvanometer needle re-
mained at zero, but as soon as a word
was spoken to attract his attention, the
needle would at once be detected, though
no muscle was moved A noise outside,
a door opening, or any incident that
would cause concentrated attention,
would have a marked effect on the
needle. 1t is now proposed to measure
the relative strengths of various efforts,
as, for instance, working out problems
in mental arithmetic or geometry, read
ing English, Latin, German, or any
other language, in all of which processes
it will be easy to ascertain by the move
ments of the needle the respective de-
gree of effort made by the person expert
mented upon.-BOston Transcript.

A steamboat line will begin running in
few weeks between Chattanooga,
Tenn, and st. Louis, Mo. The business
men Of Chattanooga are delighted at the
prospect, which means a reduction in
ireights to that point. Within fifteen
days $1,000 each were subscribed BY 1o7
oil Chattanooga's citizens as a guarantee
fund. The trip of the steamer Herbert
a lew months since over the same route,
made in the interest of Chattanooea
merchants, demonstrated the entire feast
bility Of the scheme, as tho Musscl Shoal
Canal made the worst part of the river
navigable, and below that the voyage
was perfectly easy.

The eastern shore of Maryland has
been so little disturbed by immigration,
remarks the Chicago Hrdld, that the
region numbers comparatively few sur
names, so that at various times it has
been necessary to resort to odd but very
ancient devices to distinguish between
men bearing the same name. The COM
monest device is the patronymic by
which of two men bearing exactly the
same Christian aud family name one is
distinguished from the other by the ad-
dItion "of William" "of Thomas or
"of John, as the case may be, the mean.
ing Of the phrase being ''son of William,
Thomas or john" Another device once
commonly employed was to couple with
the name au adjective to indicate somo
physical peculiarity, as "long" to iudi.
cate tall man, "blacll" to indicate
dark man or "red" to indicate ruddy
mau. Occasionally the distinguishing
word is uncomplementary. "Devil" is
not an unusual prefix to the Christian
or surname of a man having a reputa-
ton for vice or reoklessness. A man
bearing one of the best known names in
Maryland carried to his grave this pre-

What race I've had all the afternoon

them. There was such a crowd in the
avenue that l could hardly keep the cab
In sight knew it by the blue curtain

shall laugh together over the mad-dog

Misunderstanding.

A great deal of unhappiness in homt
life comes nom misunderstanding the
people one lives with. Each of us is
more or less affected by the personal i'm
preston of a conversation, incident, OF
episode. The way it strikes us is very
apt to push quite out of sight the way
it may strike another. In consequence
we misinterpret moods or attribute to
our kindred motives which have never
occurred to them. The quiet manner is
taken TO mean irritation when it is sim
ply WEAKNESS, or impusiye speech is
supposed to spring from anger, when it
may have its origin from embarrassment
or indiscretion. AT alleyents life would
be smoother in many home If ifeverybody
would endeavOr to understand his or hel
neighbor in the home, and IN everybody
were taken at the best and not at tho
worst valuation, FFee Pres.

A Splendid Herd Of Elk.

Reader, what would you have given to
have seen, as have, band Of $50 bull
elk all collected together on beautiful
piece Of green grassy turf at an elevation
of nine thousand feetl Here was sight
to make mans nerves tiugle. This was
the largest band of bulls, by actual count,
that have ever seen, though my cousin
and partner once saw, in the fall of the
year, including bulls, cows and calves,
fifteen hundred. This was on the mem
orable occasion when the on'y elk ever
killed by any Of my men gave up hls life,
and we have all concluded that this par
ticular elk was frightened to death, for
though three men shot at him and each
was confident he hit him, they always
asserted afterward that no bullet mark
could be found on him. .-.ScriJHer.
