TO SUMMON THE DOCTOR.
Use of HominS 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 q 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 the great
benefits that medical practitioners in
sparsely settled districts may derive
from carrier-pigeon service. The idea
seems to have been successfully IN
augurated by several medical men, whp
have written of their experiences.
The plan is for the doctor who is ex-
pecting a call from distant farm or
hamlet beyond telephone or telegraph
service to carry one or more homing
pigeons to the point, with instructions
to release the feathered messenger
when his services may be required.
The possibilities of the homing pigeon
have never been estimated fully.

it of much consequence and will not
give his personal attention to it I'M
less it grows more serious. He says

at New Orleans, Algiers freight will
come through on certificate as usual,
but if the breakout is very great he
will have to stop freight, but for the
present it can come through.

THE LOCOMOTIVE SHREK.
Its Invention Due to the Destruction
of a Load of Eggs.

of a LOnd of Eggs.
1t was in the year 1898, according to
an English exchange, that the head
splitting shrek of the locomotive was
born. When the country roads for the
most part crossed at grade the engine
driver had no way of giving warning OF
his approach except by blowing 1. In
horn. One day in the year 1888 farm
er was crossing the railway track on
one of the country roads with great
load of eggs and butter when o train ap-
preached. The engine driver blew his
horn Justify, but the farmer did not
hear IL. Eighty dozen eggs and SO
pounds of butter were reduced to one
common pulp, and the railway COM
pany had to pay what was then con-
sidered heavy damages.
A director Of the company, Ashmead
Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange,
where George Stephenson lived, to ask
If he could not invent something that
would give warning more likely to
be heard. Stephenson went to work.
and the next day had a contrivance
which, when attached, to the engine
boiler and the steam turned on, gave
out shHll, discordant sound. The rail-
way directors, greatly delighted, or
reded similar contrivances 20 be at
taehed to all their locomotives. And
this developed into the locomotive whis-
istfe as we know It. .

a very unusual scene presented itself
on our street at the village on Sunday
afternoon. A man, said to be veter-
marian from Nergennes, struck here. and
when going up the hill near the bridge
his horse fell down and refused to get
up, or was unable to do so, having been
driven down. The owner attempted to
use harsh means, but was restrained by
threats of the law being enforced, much
to his chagrn. After lying some time
the horse was helped up, and, although
very unsteady, went on his way.
