strate clearly its practical utility.
With the above facts before us. let
us turn to few of the wars conduct
ed by England and the United States,
in which well-equipped pigeon services
would have been Of great value.
Take, for example, the Afghan war,
the duration of which was about two
years. During this war about 200
miles of telegraph wires were laid. The
expenditure was enormous, and yet the
service was unsatisfactory. the reason
being that every few days the wires
were cut by the natives. The territory
in which the war was conducted was
such that it could have been complete
ly covered by a pigeon service at COM
paratively no expense and the service
thus obtained would have been more
effectual and more satisfactory than
the one which was obtained by the
telegraphic system. The same thing
could be said of the Zulu and the
Ashantee wars.
During the late civil war, when the
State of Virginia constituted the great
battlefield, a well-equipped pigeon SER
vice in the city of Washington would
have been the means of making it a
comparatively easy matter to commu-
nicate with the Federal Government
within a few hours from almost any
point in the State. Those who are
posted upon the Inconvenience caused
in many cases by delay can fully ap-
preciate the great value that such a
service would have been.

battlefield. Our army realized that the
rebel army was falling back all along the
lines by the sound of the musketry and
cannonading, and that great slaughter
of human life was going on continually.
In the evening of the second day the
enemy was gone, but we could not follow
up the victory. The wagon-trains were in
the rear with the rations, tents, and KNAPP
sacks, and we had poor shelter until relief
came. The rains had made the roads
almost impossible, and our army was in
no coalition to move forward. That
night we lay upon the battlefield in the open
air among the dead men and horses, and it
was a solemn scene. The next day we
made shelter by peeling the bark from
trees as best we could, for the tools we
worked with were very poor. The weather
was cold and rainy, and for six days and
nightc we suffered terribly. The dead
soldiers and horses were buried in bitches,
and it took several days to complete the

NEW WAY OF EARNING FEES.
Gotham Doctors. Forbidding Re-
newnl of Prescriptions With
out Orders.

only short time ago several physi-
clans prominent in special branch of
practice met to decide in what way
they could best bring to the attention
of colleague u question that interest
ed them greatly. This physician, says
the New York Sun, was almost the best
known in his speciality in the city, but
his charges, in view of his reputation,
have always been so moderate that his
associates felt the need of protesting.
But it was decided not to protest, and
the physician received only an intima-
ton that his fees some times astonished
his brothers in the profession. One
physician in town has recently intro
duced practice which is said to be
increasing in popularity with the pro-
fession, and it is likely that the Gus
tom will be adopted widely by those
physicians who have authority enough
to attempt anything so novel. This doc
tor has his patients take the lrescrip-
ton to druggist who is forbidden by
the terms of his agreement to renew
the prescription except upon written
order from the doctor. No patient can
get his bottle or box refilled unless he
brings the new prescription, which
means, of course, another visit to the
doctor The bottles are of a size that
lasts for a week. In some cases the
same medicines are renewed week after
week, but with the order that comes
only from the visit to the doctor. They
are changed in few cases. The profess
sion has not protested against this new
fashion as yet, and it is not likely that
it will. But it is only the influential
and authoritative among the physicians
that are able to attempt it.

CANINE MAID OF HONOR.
A Baltimore Wedding Recently In
troduced Some Startling
Novelties.

Here is story of a Baltimore mar
riage which simply overturned popu-
lar traditions and set all Baltimore in
conversation. The benedict, says the
Chicago Chronicle, was Francis B.
Stevens, Jr., of Hobollen. n. j., while
Miss Adele Horwitz played the Beatrice
of the startling occasion.
There was neither maid of honor nor
bridesmaid, but the bride entered the
drawing-room accompanied by her pet
fox terrier, Jock, around whose collar
were entwined orange blossoms, from
which streamers of white ribbon flowed.
During the ceremony Jock, after view
ing the guests, sat upon the floor at the
feet of his mistress. Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin t. Horwitz gave their daugh-
ter diamond clasps for her slippers,
and her gown was so arranged that
these CONNECTIONS of white liberty vel
vet and their jeweled fastenings could
be seen by the guests
After the wedding the friends of Mrs.
Stevens paid her back in her own coin
for the many practical jokes which she
had been wont to play upon the So
ciety people of her native city. The
carriage which conveyed the bridal
party to the station was decorated
with various wedding articles and Gre
ated sensation as it drove through the
streets of Baltimore. Long streamers
of white ribbon were tied at every pos
sible point of vantage and placards an
rouncing that the occupants were
bride and bridegroom were attached
| to the sides and rear.
