10 suMMoN THE pooroR.
Use of Homing Pigeons Is suggested
for Country Districts.

Use of Homing Pigeons Is sugGested
for Country Districts.
Thanks, perhaps more than to any
thing else. to the successful use of
homing pigeons by the French govern
ment, both in military and naval man
euvers, there has been a general re-
vival of interest in the subject Of the
possibilities of the utilization of these
birds as a means Of rapid communica-
ton between points that are for vari-
GUS reasons unconnected by the usual
means Of communication.
The Medical Record and several Of
its contemporaries are urging he great
benefits chat medical practitioners in
sparsely settled districts may derive
from carrier-pigeon service. The idea
seems TO have been successfully in
augurated l.y several medical men, who
have written of their experiences.
The plan is for the doctor who is ex-
pecting n call from a distant farm or
hamlet beyond telephone or telegraph
service 10 carry one or more homing
pigeons to the point with instructions
10 release the feathered messenger
when his services may be required
The possibilities of the homing pigeon
have never been estimated fully.

raj precautions dictated by common sense.
When a mans stomach and liver get up
set and fail 20 do their regular work, he can
be certain that something worse is bound TO
follow, if he doesn't look out for himself
Headaches, indigestion, biliousness and
constipation are simply Nature's warnings
that the enemy of serious disease is coming
TO attack him.
The sensible thing to do is to immedi-
atelv fortiGl the system with Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. II vitalizes and
invigorates the entire constitution. II helps
the liver to filter out all bilious impurities
Il gives the digestive and nutritive organs
power TO extract nourshment from the food
and turn il into rich, red healthy blood. It
creates appetite, good digestion, aid solid,
muscular strength.
Ii is far superior to the mere temporary
stimulus of malt-eXtracts. II is better thG1
cod liver oil emulsions because it is assini-
lated by the weakest stomach.
About ffteen wears ago writes Mr.. John Nc
Michael editor Of the plattsburg, MOI Leader,
"I was ia very poor health, had no appetite, was
sluepish and so iieless It seemed impossible for
me 10 do anything that required effort. Every fall
and spring this il-hcath seemed to affect me par

sOMERsET'S COLORED POLITI-

Princess Anne, Nd, Sept. 24-There
seems to be some division among the
independent colored Republicans in
Somerset. Some of them about Prin-
cess Anne deny the report that they
have decided to withdraw support from
the colored ticket recently nominated.
At a meeting in Princess Anne on Tues
dav the following was adopted
"Resolved. That this body stand by
The independent ticket to meet the

Rose NOMENCLATURE.
The Fearful Names OF some Imported
Varieties.

The Fearful Names OF Some Imported
Varieties.
Some day, too, we may have a nomen-
clature committee, who will meet the
French roses at the portals of our coun-
try and rechristen them with pro-
nouncable name before presenting
them. for which we all most deyoutly
thank them in advance. A rosc by any
,ther name than "Mademoiselle Suzanne
Marie de Rodocannachi" would smell
just as sweet and we would not miss
our train trying to tell our neighbor
what it is called. lis TO be hoped that
;he young lady changed her name and
that it was a shorter one. Provision
should be made in such case for Il
like change in the name of the rose.
The man who called rose ''Grande
Duchesse Heritiere Marie Anne de Lux
embourg" had no consideration for the
poor gardener or florist who would have
to write it on four-inch label with
q stump Of a pencil. They don't write
Il. They simply say the rose is no good;
IL is relegated to obscurity and so they
have their revenge. It is a pity that the
French raisers cannot see the absurdity
of calling roses such long names and
above all of calling them after every
member of a family, resulting in un-
limited confusion.

Its Introduction AMI Valve Discussed by
Practical Apiarist.
At the Michigan state bee-keepers
convention NJ. H. Hunt said The in
>. | igent use of comb foundation has
,..del largely to the pleasures and
profit Of bee keeping. and its ilpor-
tuncc is second only to the movable
frame. The first practical foundation
was made in 1874, and the demand has
increased so rapidly that ut times there
has been scarcely enough Lceswax to
produce it, In 1878 it was said; 1--WE
can hardly conceive what an immense
buliness this is soon to become" Dur
ing the first years of its introduction a
large proportion of poor comb founda-
ton was sent out, but this did not seem
to affect the demand Several attempts
have been made to make comb with
full depth OF cells, but so far they have
all been failures. Its great bulk the
extra expense aud ihe greator amount
of wax required all combine to mako
il un.les ra1ls. In nay use of founIa-
lion IA the brood frames l have been
most pleased with the fnll sheets OF
iigal brood ia wired frames There IS
only wax enough in this grade to draw
out th, cells triflc, giving the bees Il
chance to utilize the natural secretion
