Cats of Long Ago.

The piercing and cutting teeth of some
of the cats of long ago are the most per-
fectly adapted instruments for cutting
purposes that ever were seen, being un-
equalled by any manufactured tools for
such uses.
For example, there was the 'gompho-
dus," which was as big as the largest
panther and had two teeth in its upper
jaw resembling daggers, each five inches
in length. AS weapons for penetrating
flesh they are unrivaled among carniv-
orous animals, recent or extinct. They
are rather like the teeth of some huge
flesh eating dinosaurs, the terrible rep
tiles" of the Mesozoic epoch, which had
cutting teeth that nothing could resist.
Doubtless this creature was inconceiva-
bly, bloodthirsty. Quite as fierce, how
ever. and even more formidable by rea-
son of its greater size, was the contem-
porary ''pogonodon, which was as large
as the biggest jaguar.
There were two species of this animal.

Carrier Pigeons in France.

Englishmen, it appears, enjoy In
France a curious privilege, which is rig
idly withheld from Germans and Bel
gians. 1t is that of flying carrier pig
cons. This, however, as explained by
Mr.. Tegetmeier in his curious lecture on
this subject, is on the strict condition
that both the birds and the senders are
English. In Belgium alone, according
to this authority, there are 600, 900 racing
birds, which in case of war would be
put at the disposal of the government,
and every one Of these is trained bird

GUM or Germany is allowed to be

that in the event of war these trained
pigeons would be struggled into the in
terror, and thus information could be
carried out.-London News.

The Britisher, you know, is nothing if
not outre, and this is as true of his eat
ing as others of his affairs. What would
you think of the restaurant or hotel that
would serve you a duck or other bird
that smelled like dead mule that the
buzzards wouldn't eat? And yet that's
the way the Englishman has his bird
served, and he is bull headed enough to

The Michigan Association of live stock
breeders held their annual meeting ut
Lansing last week and decided to ask
the legislature for an appropriation of
twenty thousand dollars To enable them
To secure proper exhibit of Michigan
live stock at the Worlds Fair
We believe that the Legislature
would make no mistake in granting
such an appropriation and that the re-
turn which would be sure to follow such
an exhibit as would undoubtedly be
made under such circumstances would
amply repay the tax payers for the
small burden which would be imposed
upon them.
Our live stock interests deserve en-
enlargement, and in no other way could
they receive such an impetus.
In these days of low prices for grain,
our farmers must turn their attention
to stock raising, and may with great
propriety ask the boon OF their fellow
citizens which such recognition of a
most important branch of their business,
the success of which benefits not them
selves alone but the whole people,
would imply.
At the meeting. officers for the ensu-
ing year were elected our townsman,
George f. Breck, Esq, being chosen
as president of one of the associations.
The live stock breeders of Van
Buren, county have risked great deal
of money in their business and have
added not a little wealth To the com
munity and are gaining for themselves
and the county an envable reputation
and their efforts ought to be appreciate
ed and encouraged by our people.

Certainly the proposition is new and

In fact, whatever Secretary Elkins has

OILY comes of practical knowledge OF
military necessities. His life for years

him to discover their views, and has
