Good authorities declare that tho cause of the deficit in postal reve- nues Is due, not to second class mail matter, but to extravagant prices paid under all administra- tions to the railroads for carrying the mails. The railways charge tho government from 9 to 50 per cent more than they charge express companies, and they grant no bet ter facilities iH return.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR.
The Post Established at Ladysmith, South Africa, Has Been
 Success.

The pigeon post established at Lady smith and Durban for carrying war messages has been such success that special appropriations for increasing the service will be recommended by the war office. A good deal of this success of the pigeon service is due to the skill and energy of Col. Hassard, of the royal engineers, who has spent years in pigeon culture for just this-sort of an emergency and he has demonstrated the fitness of birds for war purposes. Col. Hassard, who was stationed at the Cape before hostilities broke out, sys- tematically trained the pigeons for carrying messages across the rough, mountainous land and his various pi- geon posts were of the greatest value in keeping the office apprised of the exact condition of the army.
 There are 1000 homing pigeons on the books of the British navy and sev- eral times this number on the books of the army. In the past ten years the United States army and navy depart ments have been interested in the car rier pigeons and we have posts estab- lished at different points throughout the country. Their services have been useful chiefly in the navy and expert ments are being made constantly in communicating by this means between the shore and the ships. There is no system of registering homing pigeons in private lofts and in an emergency the government in need of more pi- geons would have to depend upon the patriotism of the private owners for increasing it's supply. That there would be plenty of volunteers no one doubts for a moment -Cnllier,S Weekly

Jaw of Huge Unclassif1ed Animal
 Found in New Mexico.
 Santa Fe, New Mexican: The fossil remains ossa strange prehistoric animal were discovered recently at Postmaster Nusbaumss ranch, at Teseuque. AL phonso Dockweiler, who has charge of digging ditch through a ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece of petrified bone the shape Of a large tongue, but with a row of twelve teeth along what seemed to be the tip of the tongue. He dug little further and found the re-
 malnder of what seemed to be the jaw of an animal that was part ichthy osau- rus and part plesiosaurus with some of the characteristics of the pterodaetyl. perhaps. The jaw consisted of about twenty layers of bone it. the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with q dozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbiyorous and not car hlVorous These twenty layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal

PIG DYING or GRIEF.
When Its Only Friend, Cow, was
 Taken Away It Refused Food.

Taken Away IJ hetusSu ASoNs
 4 little pig or smiths island is vast ing slowly away-dying, in fact, or grief because of it's separator from COW to which it was devotedly at- taehed. says the Boston Globe. smith ; island. composed of 100 acres or more, is about a mile distant from Norwalk, Conn. A lighthouse stands on US east arn coast and it's only inhabitants are Samuel Armour and his mother. 10 soften her state of semi-isolatlon, as well as because they are prohtaele' RIrs. Armour raises quite little farm- ward stock, such as ducks, hens, goat and COW. The name of the COW Is Pansy. Pansy arrived on SmlIhs is- land when only calf and consequently knows little of the outside world ana it's devious ways. From her infancy she kag come in contact with hens ana ducks xt.nd geese; she even rubbed. skirts Nth a goat, but one quadruped Pansy had not seen was pig. When. therefore, last spring Mr. Armour brought to Smiths island from the mainland a fat little pig, its appear anee caused Pansy a good deal of sur prise and excited the farmyard gen orally. The little pig was not popular bv any means. As for Pansy, she could not bear the sight of it. Buffo (which is the name of the little plg1 from the first manifested an intense affection for the COW. Pansy's heart gradually softened toward the poor little perker and finally, to parody Mary and her little lamb. every place that Pansy went the pig was sure to go. Although in time the other live stock came to assume an attitude ot benevolent neutrality toward Butfo, the dog was an exception. He frequently chased 43rtffo for it's dear life, but after awhile eansy interposed in it's behalf and when Hector pressed Bufo too closely would take the pig in her mouth and, lifting it high in the air, keep it there out of harms way until the danger had passed. And now stress Of circumstances has parted the loyal comrades. Mrs. Armour, who is no longer young, finding that caring for a COW with her other duties was too much for her, sold Ifansy to farmer for much less than her value, provided that she should not be given to tho butcher. When Baffo missed it's friend which was very soon, 1t was ineonsola- ble. It's squeals of grief could be heard all over the island. It has since then refused it's food and grows thin- her each day It is probable that Mrs. Armour will sell or give Buffo away to the same farmer; otherwise the days of the affeetionate little pig will have been numbered and grave will be dug somewhere on Smiths island.

 Sues for Seaslckness.

Chicago Inter Ocean: Mrs. Sarah L. Ungerman, who has filed a suit against the Hamburg-American Steam ship company for damages for sea- sickness, is from Missouri. She says she paid for comfortable trip on the steamship across the ocean, but she didn't get it. She estimates the dam age to her health, comfort and dignity at $5,00O Mrs. Ungerman is specific in her charges. She says she was guaranteed four good meals day aboard the steamer going to Europe, but on account of the peculiar antics of the ship in trying to find the bot tom with her nose and stand on her stern, she was unable to eat, and the display of fare was tantalizing. Insult was added to injury, she says, when, in the midst of her suffering, the cap- tain prescribed salt pork as remedy. Steamship managers are said to be worrying over the suit, as an adverse decision would establish a very dan gerods precedent, and would probably result in driving them out of business

THE ASSASSIN OF THE EMPRESS
Lucheni subduod and Penitent in His
 Swiss Prison

Swiss Prison.
 The United States consul at Geneva. Mir. B. H. Ridgley, communicates to the Strand for September the story of Lucheni, his crime and his subsequent life in jail. He is, we are told. in- earcerated in the Eveche or biskopry. close by Calyin's great church. Of his accommodation the writer says: "It IS neat and clean cell, much larger and better ventilated than any cell I ever remember to have seen in an American penitentiary. The convict has good, clean bed, with straw mattress; he has a small table and a chain He is comfortably clad. not in convict stripes, but in good woolen garments, and is, in short living under better conditions of cleanliness and Wholesopaeness than he ever knew be- fore 1n luis life. The writer himself has seen the convict recently. This is his report: T found that Lucheni had .hansed considerably since the day of his condemnation. His mastaehe was gone, and his face looked sleek and white and fat The 1.-the figure had atso grown much stouter; he still wore the gum-elastie smile, but the air of brayado was missing. His eyes were downcast; his mien humble It was easy to see that the spirit of the an- archist was brokelt. He feels the soli- taIy confinement terribly. It is par tieularly hard to the verbose Incheni. He sees before him a life absolutely without hope; the eeaseless babbler is reduced to everlasting silence; the preacher of the bad cause is without a publie.' Within six weeks of entrance he admitted to the priest that three hours after committing his awful crime he repented of it.n The authorities It sounds somewhat eynical-are hop lng to turn his penitence to good &C., count. He has already confessed that he has aeomplices, ard they hope to have most important revelations before long. The writer at once draws the. moral which opponents of capital pun- ishment all the world over will be quick to repeat: Thus, after all. per haps it is fortunate that capital pun ishment is not inflicted in Geneva; otherwise Lueheni, with the bravado Of his kind, would have gone under the guillotine in the conventional way, crying, 'Vive PAnarehiei, and his brethren would have been spared the demoralizing spectacle of the most reckless and vicious and audacious of their lot turned into trembling iail- bird, singing gospel hymns. and weep Ing tears of repentance"

The Great ; merlean Hog.

The tables of exports published by the treasury department indicate a marked increase in the exports of hog products for last month. The exports of bacon amounted to over 54,000, 900 pounds. of hams to nearly 22,000,000. and of pork to over 10,000,00o pounds. The export of lard alone showed a slight decrease in comparison with the same period of last year. This exhibit is the moro gratifying from the fact that the agitation of the agrarian ele- ment in Europe, particularly in France and Germany, is mainly directed against the American hog. While the partisan agitation is not in the interest either of the German or French people, as it deprives them of cheap hog prod ucts. it has had the support of the governments. That in spite of 1t the export tables continue to show steady growth must be put down to the credit of the invinciDle American hog.-pen- yer Post.

THE ADVENT OF SPRING.

The Most GIorius Season of the Whole
Years.
No season of the year is more exhilsr-
ating than spring. All nature is awake
and takes a new phase of life after her
long sleep during the cold months.
With the approach of spring the hu-
man system takes on change and it
must necessarily throw off the impuri-
ties from the blood, which have accu-
mulsted there during the winter months
when one eats hearty, solid food.
Many times one feels languid, sleepy
feeling, especially after meals, which is
positive indication that the blood is
impure and the liver, stomach and
bowels in an unhealthy condition.
With the proper remedies this trouble
is soon righted and the entire system
placed in natural condition.
Sufferers thus afflicted can with one
box of Knox Stomach Tablets demon
strate to themselves that this ssrsapa
rilla in tablet form is a psnscea for
all stomach, blood, liver and bowel
troubles.
If your druggist cannot supply this
new remedy, send fifty cents to the
Knox Chemical Co., Battle Creek, Mich,
and full sized box will be sent post
paid.

WAR TO THE DEATH!
PESTS OF THE POULTRY YARD
MUST GO.
American Lice Destroyer Kills Nor.
Mites, Lice and Other Nermin ina
Day Than All other Rene
dies Combined.

The war is on! The days of lice and
vermin that have done so much to make
the life of the pOultryman miserable,
and his business unI rOfitable are over.
American Lice Destroyer is the proper
ammunition to use This preparation
is wonderful in its power, and vermin
cannot exist twenty-fOur hours after it
is applied to the coop or fowls. Every
poultryman needs it. 1t is cheap reliable
and effective, one package being sufli-
cielt to protect 2o0 fowls from mites
and lice for one year. When this De-
stroyer is used, profits at once increase.
Lice and vermin do more to kill profits
than all other causes combined. You
know it. Don't GO on losing money
every week, but try American Lice De-
stroyer. You may have tried other
things without success, but If this fails
you can have your money back. We
are in this fight to stay, and will back
Destroyer against any number of mites
or lice you may have. Don't fool away
money with recipes or homemade
makeshifts. Use scientific means. The
American Lice Destroyer has been
used by thousands of poultrymen; 1t has
been on the market several years and
has been tested thousands of times.
We know it is all right, and if it doesn't
do the work remember you get your
money back. What more can you ask
If your druggist don't sell American
Lice Destroyer, he's behind the age. In
that case send for a Sl.00 box at once.
