Novel Use for Carrier Pigeons.

Carrier pigeons are now put to vari-
ETY. Of uses, and perhaps the following is
one of the most up-to-date: A medical
man in Scotland, whose practice is spread
over very wide area, has been using
them successfully tor assisting him in his
work The doctorgoes on his rounds with
a number of the birds in hamper, and
as he visits patient, he ties the prescrip-
ton to the wing of the bird and let's it
fly home. The medicine is duly dispensed,
and sent off by a messenger. This enter
prising practitioner also takes the pre-
caution to leave one of his pigeons with
those who are attending an urgent case,
and at certain hour a report is for
warded to the doctor, tied to the bird.
By this means he is frequently saved a
visit, and when long distances prevail
this is a matter of importance both to
doctor and patient.

the then advancing enemy came full upon us.

the Wilderness mark the two extremes

Spain gave further fatal blow to itself
by expelling all the Christianized Moors.
AS result upto the present, agriculture,
the necessary basis ofnatioual prosperity,
is very undeveloped. The most primitive
instruments are still in use and great
regions that the Moors had made pro-
ductive have fallen back to wildness. SIM
liar shortsightedness characterized her
abroad. When Pizarro landed in Peru
the strip of land fifty and more miles
wide stretching from the ocean front to
the foothills OF the Audes, supported
prosperous population OF about 100000.
The patient Peruvians had made their
sandy desert blossom like the rose by
vast irrigation works. In some cases
they had CONSTRUCTED aqueducts hundreds
OF miles long and even pierced mountains
in order that this particular region might
be watered. Now the desert is again
triumphant. The conquerors seeking
those things alone that could be gained
by the sword neglected the real essen
tials of prosperity, until now only few
thousand exist where hundreds of thous-
ands were once prosperous. The same
lamentable neglect was shownin Mexico.
The strange creatures whom Montezuma
ruled were exceedingly progressive in
their way. But their works and plans
and agricultural gains were scattered to
the winds by their blood thirsty con-
querors. Now the spiritess Peon seems
sunken beyond all hope ofrevival.

A Word
About BOrax Soap.

Borax costs more than
soap. There is no induce
ment, therefore, for soap
makers to use it for profit.
Borax softens the wash
water, and leaves the hands
soft and smooth.
Consequently it is a good
thing in soap.
The so-callcd borax soaps
rarely contain borax in sufh-
cient quantities to be de,
tected or beneficial.

COLONIAL PoLIcY.-I fear if we just
ook back at the conquests OF three or
tour centuries ago, when constant It'd
ings of new continents, wealth, ETC.. fired
mems adventurous souls, the skirts Of no
nation will be found entirely free from
innocent blood. With few notable ex-
ceptions, in spots. like Rhode Island
under Williams, Pennsylvania under
Penn, and Maryland under Calvert,
cruelty and illiberalty have almost uni
versally accompanied the work OF estab-
fishing a new colony. But gentler times
have brought gentler methods; and vari-
Gus nations seem now to vie with each
other in the liberality and excellence of
their colonial policies. Take England for
instance. Its Liberal treatment of its
most valua BILE possession, now the United
States, has entirely passed away; so that
at the present it is practically true that
many small possessions in various parts
are better ruled, better prospered; and
stronger as dependencies than they would
be as separate and independent govern
ments. The policy OF England and Of
other nations who try to rival her in
colonizing activity, is to look only for
indirect results from good government
Internal development is aimed at with
the confident hope that the resulting
prosperity will react favorably to the
home country by reason of increasing
trade, ,,..etc. But SPANS policy has re-
manned unchanged while other nations
have marched onward. AS said in last
weeks letter, her colonies have always
been regarded as lair prey to be stripped
of everything valuable that was COM
pact and transportable. The fierce greed
Of Cortez and Pzarro is apparently I'M
changed. Whatever positions of power
were open for filing, have seemed to be
regarded as the rghtful heritage Of the
Spanish nobility, without any regard as

Spain. The inevitable result has been

ideal before it beyond the forcing OF a
creed or the piling OF wealth. In both of
these directions Spain has been at fault.
Three further enervating causes have
been at work undermining its national
strength,
THE GRANDEE SPRT.-For centuries
after the destruction OF the Roman
Empire by the Goths and Vandals, the
human intellect was almost benumbed.
Until the Renaissance and the Relorma-
ton pail OF darkness was over all; the
mobiles being almost as unframed as their
serfs, and the seris being utterly crushed
bv those of nobler blood. Humanity in
Europe lay like giant chilled by the
cold. But since that time stimulation of
thought has caused the great heart Of
the world to throb withiucreasing power,
till the life Of common humanity thrills,
in large measure, even those most separ-
ated by birth and wealth. Each age has
had it's peculiar characteristics ours is
the peoples Age" But against the
tendency of the people to think and act,
hope and accomplish, the proud and
stubborn spirit of Spanish grandeeism
has stood forth with herceness. Yet
just as Canute by his word could not
hold the sea in subsection nor Mrs. Par
tington sweep back the waves with her
broom, so no dynasty or power, even
boar with age and crusted with heroic
deeds, can withstand successfully, by
narrow-minded repression, the rising tide
OF human aspiration. If it turn deaf
ear to the cry Of the poor for life and
liberty, for education, for hope, the cry
will not die out but its pleading tone
will be turned into the fierce and fatal
grow OF a cornered beast. Thus has it
been with Spain. Far more organized
and dangerous than Nihilism in Russia,
is anarchism in Spain. The kingdom is

Thing in foreign lands that will form
safe outlet to the combative spirit. They
are under the hopeless necessity ofwatch-

licve am safe in saying, not even except
ing Russia, that no other nation in Eu-
rope but Spain is in this anomalous con,

HISTORIC DIAMOND STOLEN.

Report From Hydersbnd That Will

1t is reported from Hyderabad
that the historic diamond sold
some time ago to the Nizam Of
'Hyderabad has been stolen and

the intention of the Nizam to pre-

The "Victoria Imperial" or "Great

meant in this dispatch. 1t was

that the story of the disappearance

Uncertainties and u Certainty.

now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re-
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe
will eventually become involved;
the settlement of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any of these matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more
apparent, as each day passes, that
