THE CARRIER PIGEON.

Rendered Valuable by It's Remarkable
Love for Homo.
The illustration given below is re-
produced from the French of Ad. Ben
ion. 1t shows carrier pigeon en- route
with message. The letter In this
case appears to be fastened to It's legs
The carrier pigeon Is bird larger
generally than the common pigeon,
measuring about fifteen inches in
length and weighing about one and
one-fourth pounds The neck Is long
and the peotoral muscle very large.
An appendage OF naked skin hangs
across its bill and continues down on
either side Of the lower mandible.
The great development Of this muscle
is what gives the bird the power Of
long continued flight
The quality that renders these birds
so valuable as messengers Is their love
for home, which seems abnormally
developed. The art Of training them
is carried to perfection in Turkey,
where the procedure Is about as fol-
lows: A number of very young birds

from their home and freed. The most
intelligent will quickly find their way
to their homes Those that get lost
are regarded as stupid and are re-
jected. The ones that return home are
then taken to greater distances, first
only two or three miles from the domi-

cile, but afterwards TO hundreds and
even thousand miles Thus taught,
they become expert in returning to
their owners, and do this from NIL parts
of the country.
AS to their rapidity Of fight there is
much dispute. The more conservative
say that the usual speed is about 30
miles per hour. Some, however, be-
lieve it possible for these birds to fly
from so to 90 miles per hour in rare in
stances. 1t takes about 12 hours for
n carrier pigeon to digest crop full of
grain. Passenger pigeons have been
shot in New York with their crops full
of rice, which they could not have OBJ
tanned nearer than the Carolina rice
fields. They must have travelled 300 or
400 miles in six hours, or over so miles
per hour.
In England pigeons have been re-
peatedly used in waRers, bets being
made on the full speed of the birds. In
such cases greater speed than SO
miles per hour has rarely been made
In 1898 great trial of pigeons was
made at Client. On June "a, of that
year, "a birds that had been entered
for the prize were thrown up at Rouen,
about $50 miles from Client The first
pigeon arrived in Client in one and
one-half hours; 16 came In within two
and one-half hours, and three in the
course of the day; four were lost The
first pigeon must have travelled at a
rate of nearly 100 miles an hour, which
seems incredible. Yet it is possible,
seeing that 10 others also obtained a
speed of over 60 miles per hour.
1t is hard to believe that carrier
pigeons are not governed by instinct,
yet men that handle them say that 1t is
merely matter of education. If the
bird cannot recognize some landmark
he gets lost. Also birds thrown up dur
ing fog or haze seldom reach their
destination. There are, however, some
rare instances extant that seem to
prove that birds can succeed irrespec-
tive of the educational principle

spring and summer. With afternoon
toilettes must delicate pearl tints are
worn with stitching of black or self
color as one fancies. These are in En-
glish style with close wrists fastened
by four buttons. White gloves are
worn in the evening on all occasions,
from the theater to the most elaborate
entertainment. For morning wear are
heavier kid gloves of yellowish-tan in
preference to the red or cedar browns
worn during the winter. Undressed
kid or Suede gloves are still preferred
by many, especially for summer, be-
cause they are cooler than those of the
thicker dressed kid. These come in

the floor projects two inches over the

pitches little toward the cattle, tho
urine will find it's place in the lower

quarters Of an inch lower than the top

is slightly set put on the last coat
with Portland cement and trowel

this way, 1t will be found difficult TO
keep the urine from finding Its way
back of and eventually under the
gutter. All cement floors tend to
make the air cold and damp unless
covered with bedding and they are
more uncomfortable for cattle to stand
on than are wooden floors. All this
leads one to believe that, all things
considered, the wooden floor will be

First, you neither need nor wish an
ice-cream freezer for this small amount,
but improvise one in this way. Take
from the kitchen any little tin can or

lid improvise one-any little tin dish
or patty" pan will do-and should it
not fit very closely press q sheet OF
paper between the lid and cup and II

or anything you wish-flled with
layers of coarse rock salt, not coarse
fine salt. Three layers of ice to
one of salt, the top layer to be of this
in the absence of ice u mixture of snow
and salt will serve equally well. You
can break the ice by pressing hat pin
into it as the trained nurse does in the
sick-room. 1t should be as fine as the
salt, for the finer your ice is broken
the sooner the cream will freeze. The
ice in melting gives off heat, and many
degrees colder is the melted ice and
salt than the ice itself. And now for
the cream:
One-half cup of cream.
Two level tablespoonfuls sugar.
Two or three drops of havoring Q x
tract-vanilla, chocolate, etc, as you
wish.
Mix the cream, sugur, and havoring
in the cup; stir until the sugar is dis
solved-thoroughly dissolved, no trace
of it should be left; put the lid on,
pack around the cup the ice and salt,
to the top, and freeze it.
With your finger and thumb keep
turning the cup from side to side to
churn the cream. As the mixture
freezes to the sides of the cup scrape
it down with knife into the center,
and If you like beat it little with the
knife, but the lid must be kept on as
much as possible. Continue this until
the cream is nearly frozen, and be care
full about not getting salt into it. You
can replace the ice when it rnelts with
more, unless an eagerness to eat II
overcomes you. Sherbets and water
ices can be made quite as easily. An
ice is made OF fruit juice, ice and wa
ter. A sherbet must be beaten white.

While the subject of good roads Is
being agitated in every part of the
country those most interested in the
subject are doing their best TO make
bad roads still worse by using narrow
tires on their wagons. Heavy loads arc
drawn over our mud roads on these
narrow-tired wagons and deep ruts cut
into them, that in wet weather make
them almost, and sometimes entirely,
impossible. have q sort Of pity for
man who urges his team along q
muddy road, all the time grumbling
about the badness Of it, when he might
reduce the labor of his team from one
third to one-half by using wide tires at
very little additional cost to himself
and to the great saving of team and
temper. 1t is to be hoped that the
first legislation looking to the improve
ment of the roads of the country will
be in the way of encouraging the use
of wide tires, for one narrow-tired
wagon will do more damage than n
dozen with wide tires IL the roads ar,
at all soft. No one disputes the philos
ophy of wide tires, and no one seems TO
have any good reason to offer why
they should not be used. Our farmers
simply follow precedent and go on us
ing narrow tires because their fathers
did before them. Lumbermen and
freighters use wide tires almost uni
versally and save money by doing so,
but 1t seems that farmers do not care
to economic in this direction. The
condition of our roads costs us more
than any other single item of waste in
this country, and the common use Of
wide tires would reduce this waste of
energy to large extcnt-American

rhe following is the full text Of
President Monroe's utterance which
is known as "the Monroe doctripe:'
ssWe owe it, therefore, to candor
and 10 The amicable relation exist

those Powers to declare that we
should consider any attempt or
their part to extend their system to

we have not interfere1, and shall
not interfere. But with he Gov
ernments who have declared their
independence and maintained it,
and whcse independence we have

purpose of expressing them, or con-

regard to these contingencies, cir

szsible that the allied Powers should
extend their political system to
any portion of either continent
without epdangering our peace and

"Ths President has been ill-ad-

Venezuela is dangerous t. national

knows to be ridiculous. The Presi-
dent emphasizes unduly a single
phase of the Monroe Doctrine,
without taking into account the
special circumstances which the
Monroe Doctrine was intended to
meet. In the whc,e mattet the
Monroe Doctrine should be kept
out of sight as inapplicable, and
the question should be argued on
grounds Of national policy. The
President finds his offer of arbi-
! tration declined. He now an
noances himself as Il mediator.
But the mediator known to inter-
national law must be accepted by
both parties, who are also both free
to reject his decision. In This case
neither parties made the President
anediator and he annodnces his
intention 10 enforce q decision.
lie is therefore not med aior, but
