A Useful Pigeon.

An incident occurred recently in San
Francisco, in the family of a dealer in
Japanese curiosities and a member Of
the Pacific Coast Pigeon society, which
proved to him in most impressive
manner the valuable services which
may sometimes be rendered by the car
r1er pigeon, and probably explains some
of his enthusiasm in that direction. His
little baby boy was taken suddenly sick
with most alarming symptoms of diph-
iberia. The mother, watching by ti1e
bedside of the little one dispatched a
message tied on carrier pigeon to her
husband at his store. In the message
she wrote the nature of the child's
alarming illness, and made an urgent
appeal for medicine to save its life. The
bird was started from the home of the
family, five miles from the store. The
bird flew swiftly to the store, where the
father received it. He read the mes
sage. called doctor, explained the
child's symptoms as his wife had de-
tailed them in her message, and re-
ceived the proper medicine. Then, tying
the little vial containing the medicine
to the tail of the pigeon. he let it 90.
The pigeon sped away through the air,
straight for the cliff. 1t made the dis
lance, five miles, in ten minutes-a dis
lance which would have required the
doctor three-quarters of an hour IN
cover. In twenty minutes from the
time the mothers message was re-
ceived the baby was taking the medi-
cine.

Swallow strange Things.

The doctors of the London hospitals
nave an incredible number of patients
who have swallowed strange things. OF
course, children are the most frequent
sufferers. The commonest objects that
they swallow are small metal whistles
and tin "squeakers" The most danger
Gus of toys for very young children are
the india rubber air balloons which can
De inflated by means of small mouth
piece. These can most readily be drawn
In by the breath. then each succeeding
respiration initiates the india rubber
bag. These have caused scores of deaths
and so have thimbles. A child sees
its mothers bright thimble, and there
is no worse article to swallow
Among grown-up people young wom-
en- OF the domestic and working class
are the most frequent patients, this
being because they habitually carry
small articles in their mouths, and are
often prone to what is called 'larking."
only a week or two ago a cook in a
west end mansion swallowed a small
glass vial containing fiavoring essence.
one OF the strangest cases of this kind
on record was that of a gentleman who
about two years ago was treated at one
OF the London hospitals. he having
swallowed a tiny live tortoise. He had
bought several of these creatures and
was amusing his children by pretending
to eat them alive and so on.
when he actually swallowed one.
1t was several days before the creature
was even killed. Scores of these cases
come from public bars, where people
seem fond of attempting silly tricks
with coins, pencil cases, etc.
