Unfortunate Fowl.

Shanghai chickens are born with an
inordinate pair of legs, which continue
to grow into regular drxmsticks of the
longest dimensions. 1t is said that, al
though good layers, they are very fond
OF devouring their own eggs. A farmer
who has tried them and found them
wanting, gives the following account OF
their peeuliarities. The true name, he
says, is "Shank-high," and he pro-
nounces them tightly named.
They have no body at all, and when
the head is cut off the legs fall apart l
don't see how they can set on their eggs
my jackknife can set as well as they
can.
They don't sit on the roost the same
as other chickens do; not a bit of it.
When they attempt to sit as other chick
ems do, they fall off backward.
They sit when they eat, l know, for
I've seen EN- do it. And I've seen 'em
try TO eat standing, but they couldn't
fetch It; for when they peck at a grain
of corn on the ground, they don't more'n
half reach it, but their head bobs right
between their legs and makes 'em turn
a complete somerset.
I'd as soon see a pair Of tongs or COM
passes walking about my yard as these
shank-highs.
They crow, too, long time before
day, when it isn't day. Probably be-
cause their legs are 80 long that they
can see daylight long before a common
chicken can.

To one not previously acquainted
with the facts, the amount OF scientific
study that has been devoted to the birds
known as the homing pigeons must APP
pear surprising. The true homing
pigeons are not identical with the ordin-
airy carrier pigeons, but are almost all
descendants OF a specially trained and
developed race OF birds in Belgium,
where they are called passenger pigeons,
or traveller pigeons-les pigeons yoy-
ageurs. These pigeons have been en-
rolled, so to speak, in the armies OF
Europe, of which they form really i'm
portant members. maprecontly pub
lished in La Nature shows the many
lines OF pigeon communication running
from the frontier fortress es of France,
Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal to
the capitals OF those countries.
Pigeons are kept trained 10 fly along
these routes, and they could carry the
news of an invasion VIII IN all the tele-
graph lines and other ordinary means OF
communication were cut off.
The ability of a pigeon TO find its way
home across many hundreds miles OF
country is frequently ascribed &c inst net,
but Mr.. W. b. Tegetmeyer, writing on
this sub. est in Nature, Joints out that
this theory has been entirely disproved
by the pigeon races that have taken
place between Rome and Belgium. The
distance is 500 or 900 miles. The pigeons
used had been trained to fly from the
south of France to Belgium, but about
half of the country lying between Rome
and Belgium was unfamiliar to them.
Hundreds were started from Rome, but
only very few got to their homes in
Belgium and they occupied from eleven
days to two weeks.
The explanation of this is that the
lofty chain of the Alps cut off their view
Of the country farther north than was
familiar to them, and SO they were lost,
only those which flew along the coast
until they reached Southern France be-
ing able to find their way.
When fog and mist conceal the face
of the country the pigeons make very
slow progress. Under ordinary favor
able circumstances pigeons fly from
Southern France to Brussels, a distance
of about 500 miles, between sunrise and
early evening. Their average rate OF
flight varies from twenty-sevon to forty
seven miles an hour. OF course they
can fly much faster with the wind than
against it. They do not fly after 8
o'clock in the evening.

Convention at Syracuse.


A Syracuse IN. " dispatch says:
The "dandelions" are on top to-day, as
much as Hill was on top in February.
The purpose of that early convention
was to give Hill u grand send-off. 1t
was believed by him and his near friends
that declaration by the Democracy OF
New York in his favor would be the in
itiative of movement that would land
him in the White House. Subsequent
events proved the fallacy of this prom
Use. Hill was short-sighted, and the
ladder on which he expected to climb to
the chief magistracy gave way under
his weight.
When the convention of to-day was
called, Hill was politically prosperous.
Since then Hills decadence has oc-
Cured, and Oleveland's rise into new
prominence has been equally quick. The
conditions to-day are different from
those under which the call was issued.
In fact, they were called into being by
the February convention, and pretext
was given for the gathering OF the dan
delions now The consequences of the
action taken will probably drive both
Cleveland and Hill out of the field and
leave the way clear to nominate Russell
or Pattison from the East or Boies or
Palmer from the West. Unprejudiced
political observers Of long experience
predict that the nomination will not
come to the State of New York.
Everyone comedies the eminent re-
spectability of the delegates that assem-
bled, but old hands at the business OF
politics call 1t mob that could not carry
on a campaign because Of the lack Of
working element. Such comments, it
should be stated, come mostly from Hill
lookers-on. Chairman Kernans speech
as delivered was not at all the speech
that had been mailed by the Press Asso-
citation. The most savage of his thrusts
at Hill did not appear in the written
pages. There was no mention of him by
name. He was ignored as tot lily as Cleve-
land was in the convention of February,
which Herman dubbed 1.-The snowshoe
convention, but Hills administration
and his control o the party we're scored
without mercy. The delegates OF the
February convention, he declared, will
represent what a few men thought then,
but the delegates from this convention
TO Chicago will represent what the peo-
pie want now" When he reached the
climax of Cleveland, and for the first
time mentioned his name, it was the
much as any State convention could be
with smaller numbers. The delegates
sprang to their feet, mounted chairs, and
shout I'd themselves hoarse. Fairchild
and Grace, from the latform, started the
waves Of applause with their umbrellas,
and it was at least ten minutes before
the speaker could go on. Another out
break came when he made a demand
that Cleveland should be nominated.
This was step beyond the policy of the
most conservative, but apparently every
one joined in the applause. The way
was then easy for saying: Democratic
disputes will end at Chicago. New
York Democrats will accept the decision
of the court as final This sentiment
was cheered to the echo, and it showed
that the delegates were still loyal Demo
Gratis. The platform adopted contains
declarations against Republican fraud,
the tariff, and free silver.

BE CAREFUL.

More deep-seated colds, coughs and
similar maladies are caught in the
spring, especially in wet weather such
as we have been having, than at any
other time. When you do take cold
it is harder to be cured, because in
almost all cases it attacks the kid
neys, disables them, and thus lays the
foundation for long train of evils.
When you are thus afflicted do not
delude yourself with the idea that
with the advent of warm weather
you will soon be well, but get bottle
of REDS GERMAN COUGH AND KID
NEY CURE and take it freely. Do
not be afraid Of it. 1t contains no
poison, and there is nothing in it that
would harm even the feeblest, but it
is the best remedy in the world for
all maladies that affect the excretory
organs. Get it of any dealer, but
don't allow him to give you anything
else in place of it,

The Largest Apple Tree.

Probably the largest apple tree in the
world is in the northwest corner of
Cheshire, Conn. Its age can be traced
by family tradition to 140 years, and it
is probably several years older. One
foot above the ground, free from any
enlargement of the roots, the circum-
ference is thirteen feet eight inches.
The trunk is very symmetrical and di-
vides into eight limbs. Three of these
usually bear one year and the other five
the next. One hundred and ten bushels
have been harvested from the five limbs
in a single year. The tree is about sixty
feet high, and the spread of the branch
es not far from 100 feet. The fruit is
sweet, rather small, and only moderate
in quality.
