SEA-BRED CARRIER PIGEONS.


How to Acquire a Good Service by Feath-
cred Messengers From Ship to Shore.
Captain John r. Bartlett, United
States navy, retired, chief of the coast
signal service during the war with
Spain, has reported to the department
on the value of carrier pigeons for
signalling purposes. In substance he
reports:
''That experime nts be made for the
purpose of training homing pigeons in
connection with coast signalling, for
the reason that they offer solution of
the problem of communication with
vessels i'll the off shore patrol fleet.
These vessels would most probably
operate in districts having established
bases, and at such distance from the
coast and from the inshore patrol that
visual signalling would be impossible.
A homing pigeon service cannot be
improvised and be of any real value.
The birds must be systematically and
patiently trained for year or two,
not only to equip the cotes with trained
carriers for that locality, but to fur
nish stock with sea-bred breeders.
Experimental cotes should be located
at the bases Of naval coast defense
districts, a small vessel provided with
a carrier pigeon OUTFIT and an officer
detail ed to develop this means of COM
munication and superintend the sys-
tematic training of the birds. Unless
this is done with intelligence and
thoroughness for at least year it
would be useless to rely upon it at
all. Such a system could be very
economically inaugurated and could
be maintained at a comparatively
slight cost. A simple routine OF
drills, exercises and reports based
upon our recent experiences could be
readily put into operation and small
rewards or appropriate ratings would
stimulate proficiency. In times OF
peace such a service would be of con-
slant convenience to this departm emf
and to the maratime interests of the
country, and the constant practice
would prepare the men for the emer.
gencies of war.
Attention is called to the fact tina
] every other maritime nation has such
a system, generally much more elabo
rate than the one herein proposed, or
ganized by and operated under it,
naval or maritime department.

SING A SONG.

III youll sing song as you go along.
In the face Of the real or the raneie / wrong;
In face OF the doubt if you'll fight it out.
And show "a heart that is brave ald stout
If you'll laugh at the ieers and refuse the
tears.
You'll force the ever reluctant cheers
That the world denies when coward cries,
To give to the man who bravely tries
And vou'll win success with a little song
III you u sing the song as you go alongl
il you II sing a song as you plod along.
NoW'i! find that the busy. rushing throng
Will catch the strain of the glad refrain;
That the sun will follow the binding rain;
Thai the clouds will fly from the backened
sky;
That the stars will come out by and by,
And you'll make new friends, till hope de-
sends
from where the placid rainbow bends;
And all because of little song
III YOU II sing the song as you plod alongl
IL you'll sing a song as you trudge along.
You'll see that the singing will make you
strong;
And the heavy load and the rugged road,
And the sing and the stripe of the tortuous
goad
will soar with the note that you set afoat;
That the beam will change to a trining mote;
That the world is bad when you are sad,
And bright and beautiful when glad,
That all you need is a little song
II you'll sing the song rs you trudge along !

Concealing his discovery from his
superiors, the young man went about
all day with visions of fame floating
through his brain. In every conceiv.
able way he managed to obtain a
glance during the day at each mans
shoulder, to be sure the callcused
marks were still there.
That night he locked himself Sc.

paper, in which at great length he
dilated upon the discovery he had
made. He wrote pages upon the PEE

A Relic OF Emin Pasha.

A relic Of Emin Pasha's last expedi-
ton has just been received by Messrs.
Welcome and Co. 1t consists of q
tabloid medicine chest, which was re-
covered from the natives near Kenia,
in the Aruwhimi country. The case
was taken by Arabs after the murder
of Emin in October, 1892, and, after a
career of adventure that must have
tried it sorely, it passed into the pos
session OF Baron Dhanis, the COM
mander of the Congo Free State
troops, when he defeated the Congo
Arabs at Kasongo. Messrs. Bur-

little battered, still shows clearly in
Roman capitals the name "Emin

LITTLE THING LOST THE GAME.

A Touchdown Saved by GIasping the
Loose Laces of an Ends Canvas Jacket.
"Little habits of carelessness some.
times produce unexpected results, "
said an old football man to a Sun re-
porter, land most unfortunate illus
tration of this occurred in a game
which we played against Harvard 8
dozen years ago Football was not
the game then that it is now, and al
though l was member of one OF the
smaller New England college teams,
we usually won from Harvard on our
own grounds. Our best end rush was
man whom I may call Smith, and he
was the most careless man [ ever
knew. He had lots of money and
great athletic abilities. 1t was lmpos.
sible to get him to train properly, but
despite that he was always in better
condition than the crest of us. He had
a constitution of iron. He was so care.
less that he was in hot water with the
faculty most of the time, and he piled
up so many conditions that he never
got his diploma. He was a star foot
ball man. On the occasion OF this game
with Harvard Smith came on the field
with the laces of his canvas JACKIE
laughing loose around his neck. The
captain spoke to him about them, bu
Smith said:
Z" 'Oh, let them go; they won't harm
anybody.
''The teams were pretty evenly
matched, and neither side scored il
the first half. We made up our minds
that we must score in the second half
At the end OF 10 minutes we had thu
ball in the centre of the field. It was
! passed back to our left half back, anG
he in in turn passed it to Smith, who
was playing end rush. Smith started
for the Harvard goal with the bal
under his arm, and in less time than ii
takes to tell he had lodged the entire
Harvard team and had clear field be
fore him. The Harvard quarter back
who was star runner, however, wa
after him hot foot. The quarter bach
gained so that he reached olt one hanC
to tackle Smith, but he could get NJ
hold on the back of his canvas Jacket
Smith was approaching the goal rapid
ly, and it looked like sure touchdown
Just as he reached Harvard's ten-yar
line we saw that the quarter back ha,
succeeded in getting a grip on hi
jacket, and on the five yard line Smitl
was downed, and in falling he dropped
the ball. The quarter back picked i
up and carried it we'll up into our ter
ritorv before he was downed.
Then we discovered why Smitl
had failed to make touchdown. TIL
laces of his jacket, which had beer
hanging loosely, had been blown bacl
over his shoulder, and the Harvard
quarter had succeeded in getting
grip on them in such a fashion tina
when he pulled Smith was choked t,
a standstill. The game closed withou
either side scoring
"Smith's carelessness lost it for us
If he had tucked in the laces of hi
jacket he would certainly have made
touchdown"
