Germany has for years possessed the
most efficient pigeon service in Eu.
rope. At Strasburg there are 600
birds, ut Metz GOO, at Thorn 1000,
aud they are kept by the hundreds at
other centres, such as Mainz, Cologne,
Kiel ana Danzig. The whole frontier
is connected by pigeon post with the
military headquarters and with towns
in the interior. The service is sup
ported by an appropriation of about
$4,000 year. The practical use of
the pigeon post was fully demon
strated at tho siege of Paris in 1870.
Since then it has become recognized
part of the military Organization OF
all European countries except Great
Britain. Russia has now on her Pol
ish frontier alone, 5000 birds, and ap-
propriates yearly $4,000 for pigeons /;
the French appropriation is twice as
large.

IN A MARsHLANp cHuRcHYARD.

Here where the dead men dream Of life
Under the grass and clover,
White birds come from the seastorm's strife
Clrcing the marshland over.
Family ever, though winds blow free,
Echoes the surge's thunder,
Here where tho dead men, home from sea,
Hlrk with q dreamy wonder.
Tired of tempest and racing wind,
Tired OF tho spoutlng breaker,
Here they come at the end to find
Rest In the silent acre.
Shore seems better when seas run high,
Moaning in weary fashion;
Sea seems better when llfe's nwry,
Swept by the storms Of passion.
Feet pass over the churchyard turf,
Up from tho sea or downward.
One way leads to the raging surf,
One to tho perils townwar1.
"Hearken, hearken ~ the dead men call,
"Whoso is the step that passes?
Knows he not we are safe from all
Under the no ldlng grasses?"

buildings with bathtubs. 1t Is quite a COM
mon occurrence in Chicago for children to
put in an appearance at school with hands
and faces that are visiby dirty and with
bodies that while concealed from the pub

lion Of soap and water. For a long time
the board discussed the condition of these
dirty pupils. and wondered what could be
done to make them fit to associate with

The question what women shall wear
when riding the bicycle bids fair to com
mand an increasing degree of attention as
the practice of wheeling grows in popu-
larlty among the Scntier sex. 1t is grow
ing rapidly; SO much so that the question
whether women shall indulge in this ex-
ercise Is now rarely raised Numerous at
tempts to do away with skirts have been
made. but without any large degree of
success in this country. The fact is that
most of the reform costumes are de-
ctdedly ugly, and some of them closely ap-
proach the line which modesty forbids
ladies' to cross. Besides, many feminine
riders insist that skirts not too long and
full are in no sense objectionable or dan
gerous, and claim. with apparent reason,
that the woman's method Of mounting u
bicycle is easier than the mans.
