GERM-CARRYING PIGEONS.

IFrom the New York Sum-
An epidemic of scarlet fever. starting
in Cincinnati, has spread in the last few
weeks through a number Of towns in
Ohio, and the health authorities. after
taking extraordinary precautions to con-
line the disease within the limit of it's
FIRST ravages, were puzzled to under
stand the means by which it was car
ried elsewhere. They made an investi-
cation and have now come to the con-
clusion that much of the contagion was
spread by tame pigeons and doves,
which carried the germs from place to
place. The evidence on which this the
DRY Is based is that scarlet fever spread
under strict quarantine from house
on the roof of which there was large
pigeon cote. The only live stock about
the house not quarantined was the
pigeons, which flew about the neighbor-
hood. II they didn't carry the disease
germs the authorities don't know how
the fever was spread.

THE FISH OF BERMUDA.


There is a great green parrot fish" of
Bermuda, as brilliant in color as his name
sake, the bird, showing himself boldly
and swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales are green as the
fresh grass of springtime. and each one
is bordered by a pale brown line His
fms are pink. and the end of the tail Is
banded with nearly every color of the
rainbow. He is snowy, but this showiness
serves him a good purpose. His. flesh is
bitter and poisonous to man, and probably
SO to other fishes as well, and they let
him well alone. for they can recognize him
efar off, thanks to his gaudy dress
underneath the parrot. lying on the bot
tom, Is q pink hind You notice him
and as the parrot passes over him he sud
denly changes to bright scarlet, and as
quickly resumes his former faint color.
Had the parrot been looking for his din
ner, and thought the hind would make a
good first course, this sudden charge Of
color might have scared him off, just az
the sudden brist1ing of a cat makes a dog
change his mind when tn hind is dis
turbed at night he gives out flashes Of
light to startle the intruder. and sends
him away in a fright

You hear often from car window observ-

the Cherries desert. But the desert de-
serves none of these adjectives. 1t IS
dreadful, if you wish in the way in which
it Furnishes the ignorance and presumption
of those who know not the signs OF thirst;
it is sometimes awful in it's passions OF
dust torrents, heat: It Is even monotonous

Hopelessness may well apply to,the des-

crowded and hfdeous human life; but the
desert of the arid land is eternaliy hopeful,
smiling, strong rejoicing in itself. The

INTERNAL COMMERCE.

reports that receipts OF wheat at eight
interior markets to the end of May in
the current crop year reached total
OF 211 ,221. 902 bushels. Last years re-
ceipts for the corresponding period
were ,204. 0S3.03 bushels. All of this
gain is to be credited to spring wheat
sections Of the country. there having
been a decrease Of nearly "a million
bushels at the winter wheat markets
compared with last year. The largest
gains were made at Duluth. Minneap-
oils and Milwaukee,, all other markets.

MEXICAN SILVER.

At the City OF Mexico the Mexican
silver dollar has touched low water
mark for outside or export use. being
worth less than 40 cents on the gold
siollar--an American dollar being the
equal OF ~. so in Mexican money. The
decline In silver does not effect the
prosperity OF the country in the least
however. The purchasing value Of a
Mexican dollar for home product is as
great as ever. but the decline in silver
greatly reduces the volume OF business
with the United States. Mexico will
produce this year $4,000. 900 ounces oi
silver, larger output OF the white
metal than any other country ever
produced. and the high water mark Of
Mexican production. Fully as per cent
Of this silver will come from mines

to Topeka two snow plows with which
to equip n couple of engines for ser

season, with temperatures in the sos,
brilliant sunshine and the balmiest of

must anticipate; they do not take any.
thing for granted. Upon the approach
of cold weather each fall they get out
their snow plows and the first storm
generally finds them prepared to battle
with the drifts, no matter how formi-
dable the latter may be.
Snow plows OF every variety are now
being put In service everywhere or the

been found useful upon at least one
