The carrier pigeon has been put to a

When he goes on long rounds, he car.
Fies "a number of pigeons with him. Ii
he finds that some of his patients re-

prescriptions, and by means Of the pi-

an assistant gets the messages, prepares
the prescriptions and dispatches the
medicine.
If, after visiting patient, the doctor
thinks he will be required later in the
day, he simply leaves a pigeon, which
is employed TO summon him if necessary.

Topeka State Journal. From his posi-
ton at the head of the A. T. g. =. F. r. R.
it is an admirable paper. l see no just
ground for unfavOrable criticism until
he reaches the question of government
ownership of railroads.
His chief, if not his only objection is n
threadbare oneo of possible political cor
ruption, that he confidently predicts will
inevitably result. On this point his can
dor deserts him, for he cannot be ignO-
rant of the fact that the one cOrrUpting
influence in elections and over legislation,
that the people have been unable to over
come, gymnastics from the railroads Ii
we are ever to be relieved of the polit
ical corrupting influence Of railroads, it
will come through governmental opera
ton along lines resembling those con-
trolling our regular army Officers and
men in the railroad service will have no
vote, and as political power will lie
counted out. Starting with this idea It
System may be devised for examination,
terms Of enlistment, wages, hospitals
for the injured and pensions for the per-
mauently disabled. The entire expert
ence in the operation of railroads may be-
transferred with all its benefits to the
government without loss or injury to
anyone. Mr.. Ripley recognizes the fncl
that his services would be just rs necrs
sary as to the corporation, and he gives
no intimation that he would refuse to
serve. Advocates Of government owner
ship have hitherto only "Beaten the Air"
because no practical plan has been de-
vised to kill this bug-a- boo OF political
corruption. Government ownership h; s
worn itself out as a political Catchword.

outside Decoration of French Houses.

Ferdinand Mazas, in The Architec-
tural Record, explains sculpture as APP
piled to Paris houses Twenty years
ago, " Mr.. Mazas says, "the external or
namentation of French houses was, in
general of very sober character " To-
day decoration is very much in fashion
and prehaps rot always discreet
M. Paul Heneux, having been in
trusted with the erection of the new
town hall at Les Lilas, a charming lit
tie place near Paris, conceived the idea
of treating all the sculpture of the
building with lilacs, The capitals, the
balcony, the friezes and the flower work
placed above the dormer windows rep
resent nothing but sprays lunches,
leaves and petals of lilac. The brackets
of the windows are also formed Of flow
ers of the same spring shrub. As to the
baluster of the grand staircase, it repre-
sents a trellis with branches of lilac
climbing over it. Yet the architect has
avoided monotony and has produced
the most graceful variations upon this
single theme adopted by him. We will
also mention house designed by M.
Paul Heneux In this case all the sGulp.
ture has been inspired by the profession
of the owner, who is druggist, The
frontals of the dormer windows of this
house are ornamented with garlands Of
mallows and peoples, The frieze is COM
posed Of renaissance motives, in the or
namentation of which other medicinal
plants figure. Finally, on the first story
there is an escutcbeon that recalls the
origin of the fortune Of the owner who
is the dissemination Of some kind of oint.
ment or elixir.

At the end of chapter on alligator
On his book, "Hunting and Fishing in
Florida," Mr.. Charles B. Cory, curator
of the department Of ornithology in the
Field Columbian museum, Chicago,
gives an entry which he once saw in the
register of the Brock House.
In the old days, when transportation
was more difficult than it is at present,
the Brock House was about the end OF
civilization and was "a hours trip by
boat from jacksonville. 1t was at that
time great resort for sportsmen, vino
were attracted there BY the fishing and
shooting to be had in tho vicinity.
The old register, which extended
back a great many years, contained
some queer records, some of them Of
doubtful veracity. Among others, some
one had written:
"March 10, 1879, killed large ALI
gator, the largest seen here this year
The stomach contained boot, a piece
of pine wood, a tisherman's float aud
some snail fish"
Immediately beneath this record was
another, evidently added by some wag
"March "a, killed much bigger ALI
gator tlsn the one mentioned above
II stomach contained a gold watch,
$40, 600 in government bonds and cord
of wood "
On the next page, written in a neat,
unobtrusive style, was inscribed the fol-
lowing: "Shot the biggest alligator ever
known in Florida. The stomach con-
tanned the remains of steam launch,
q lot of old railway iron and quantity
of melted ice, proving that it existed
during the glacial epoch. "

Some Plain Facts,

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
Of knowledge of the truth, and NOR
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter Justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to thu scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority Of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power OF
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

Every nation has a Rip Van Wrinkle
of its own, but the Welsh story of Rip

singing on tree close by his path Al
lured by the melody, he sat down until
the music ceused. When he arose, what
was his surprise at observing that the
tree under which he had taken seat had
now become deud and withered. In the
doorway of his home, which, to his
amazsmont, had also suddenly grown
older, he asked Of a strange old man for
his parents, whom be had left there as
he said, few minutes before. Upon
learning his name the old man said:
"Alas, Taffy, have often heard my
grandfathor, your father, speak Ct you,
and it was said you were under the
power Of the fairies and would not b.

PrOgress at Paris.

The peace negotiations at Paris have ad-
yanced a step The Spanish commissioners.
convinced at last that the United States
does not propose to discuss the question of
the Cuban debt, have ceased their impOr-
tunities and have passed on to consider
the next item of the program. There is no
certainty that agreement has been
reached in terms definitely to settle the
whole question of the debt. The case
seems rather to be that Spain has sought
to persuade this government to guarantee
all o. part of the debt. and. having failed
to carry the point, has relegated that fea-
ture of the discussion to the rear. In the
course of few days. 1t is now expected,
the commissioners will reach the question
of the Philippines, which will doubtless
prove the supreme test Of the negotiation.
There is a growing disposition here and
abroad to anticipate that the United States
will demand the absolute surrender of the
entire group. proposition which is not in
the least inconsistent with the terms of
the protocol That instrument relegated to
the Paris conference the discussion of the
disposition and control of the islands, leav-
Ing the United States meanwhile in posses

abandonment of the controversy over the

part of the United States in the argument

affair, after all. The United States has ac-

stress be laid this year upon the observance
