4 Wealth Of EOselists.

According to Mr.. Andrew Lang
there are about 100 900 novelIsts in
Great Britain. This statement is
somewhat shorn of its tel1ors by the
fact that out of this huge army Of
story tellers only 900 have succeeded
in getting their works published.
The remainder are still in the de

literary careers and will III all prob.

Patriotic Pigeon.

Experiments have recently been
made TO determine the length Of time
through which carrier pigeon will
preserve the "homing" instinct; that
is to say, how long bird must be kept
away from its original or homo loft
before IL will lose the instinct TO re-
turn. Recently seventy-two pigeons
in the German military. service were
taken from Maycncc to Brunswick, n
tivity month Then they were lib
Grated. They started instantly in the
direction of Mayencc, and arrived there
in four and onc-half hours.
II seems really impossible to extin-
guish the homing instinct in good
pigeon. A much more wonderful story
than the above is told by pigeon

German soldiers during the siege of
Paris in 1870.
The bird was being carried in bal

Here it was placed in splendid and
roomy aviary, and carefully fed and
but although it was kept
here. living in the lap of royal luxury
for four years, The French pigeon did
not forget its fatherland.
At the end of that time the door
of the aviary was left open ono day.
J he pigeon flew out, mounted high ia
the air, flew about FOR moment, as II
to find the points of the compass, and
took flight in straight line for Paris.
On the next day but one it beat its
wings against tho entrance to its loft
in the boulevard dc Clichy. There il
was recognized, and its case being
brought to public attention, it was
honored as "a patriot returned from for

FOR NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
MIR. Eaynor Makes n Favorable Rep
to the House on "a Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1i.--Represcnta-
tive Raynor, from the House Committee
on Interstate and Commerce made
favorable report on bill for the cs-
Enlistment of a national quarantine.
The measure is similar to the Harris
bill, now under discussion in the Sen
ate, and contains all the amendments
to the Harris bill adopted by the Sen.
ate up to and including Friday last.
Mr. Raynor in making the report
sets forth the great need for action
during the present session to protect
the country from threatened vista
ton of epidemic diseases during the
coming summer Some of the States,
but very few, indeed, have ample and
efficient quarantine regulations while
others have legislation upon the sub
ject which is utterly impotent, and
others still have no statutes or proyis-
ions on the subject at all. 1t is idle
and useless to say that this is matter
that ought to be left to the conflicting
laws of the different States. No one
State can protect itself from the inn
portation OF an epidemic. A maritime
State may possess the very best sys-
tenn for keeping persons affected with
contagious diseases from entering
upon its borders, and still it is utterly
pow erless to protect the inland States
from the germs of the disease

Tho opponents of the measure h.vc
decided not TO attempt to filibustcr
