At the present time Germany is far
beyond other countries in the mill
tary use of pigeons. There is big
loft at Cologne of about 400 to 600
pigeons, which is in direct commune
cation with Berlin, and there arc
similar lofts at all the big fortresses.
1t is generally reckoned that 200
birds are needed for one section
that Is to say, for birds required to
fly in one direction only-and an ad.
ditional $50 birds for each new Sec
tion. Thus a loft Of 500 pigeons Is
necessary for communication in three
directions. In the case of siege, and
allowing for accidents, military au-
thorities regard an establishment Of
200 pigeons as sufficient to keep up
communication with the outside
world for six months. The number
of pigeons tossed" for each mes
sage would be three. and this would
allow for two messages a week for
20 weeks. 1t is the general opinion
of most military authorities that 100
miles should be about the limit of
distance which bird should be called
upon to fly; but in clear weather
pigeons have been known to cover
200 miles at the rate of nearly 30
miles an hour. A noteworthy per-
formance was that of four military
pigeons which flew from Lisbon to
Paris-a distance of 900 miles.
The Germans have greatly improv-
ed the training of the birds. The
men carry them on the march for
many miles. so they can be used in
actual warfare for carrying mes.
sages from the advance guard back
to the base. The pigeons are carried
by mounted men.ip kind of breast
pocket, while the men are also equip
ped with a folding feld-cage. This
cage IL used when the birds need TO
be fed. or to give them rest, and
can afterward be folded up and car
ried on the back. The men grow very
fond of their charges, and the birds
in their turn become very attached to
their military masters. Cincinnati

The queen of Portugal once said to
King Edward (then Prince of Wales):
81 can overlook many faults in a man
and make many allowances for his
shortcomings. One fault, however,
cannot overlook, and that is--his not
smoking.
"When my husband, the king, is an
~noyed, 1 give him his pipe; when he
Is good-tempered, give him cigar
cite; when want him to do some
thing very particular for me, give
him a cigar.
"with a pipe I can console him;
with cigarette can delight him;
but with cigar can lead him any
how and anywhere. STRAY Stories

UThe Cleveland cult, which showed
sundry signs of recrudescence few
weeks ago, seems to have fallen back
into innocuous uetude.-Indianap
oils Journal.
UThey are talking of organizing n
democratic club in this city, but no
one has yet suggested where they are
going to get the democrats.-Philadei-
phia Press.
DBetween the radicalism of Mr..
Bryan and the conservatism Of Mr..
Cleveland the democratic mule will be
likely to take the bits in its teeth and
strike out for the tall timber.--St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
DMr. Bryan denies the story that
he is "renouncing interest in public
questions and removing himself from
the arena of politics" Some denials
are taken with allowances, but nobody
will have any difficulty in accepting
this one at its face value. 1t would be
a riotous imagination that could con-
ceive Of Mr.. Bryan's voluntarily re-
nouncing politics as long as he re-
tanned his health, which is at present
godk-N. Y. World (Dem.).
DThe action Of the Ohio conven-
ton, taken with the previous action
of other state conventions, makes
President Roosevelt the republican
candidate to succeed himself as GER
tainly as II he had already been nom
mated. That this is also accepted as a
fact by the democracy is shown by the
nasty filings at President Roosevelt
which already begin to appear in the
baser sort, of the democratic newspa-
pers, which have until now been in
ciined to compliment him.-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
civilian j. Bryan publishes an ar
ticle analysing eloquence and telling
how to make an orator. He holds that
mastery of a subject, coupled with
courage and sincerity, is indispensable

instance also, the chief violates the Gus
toms of his people, who not only ban

was according to the old ruling which
permitted polygamy among the Blan-
ket Indians, or Wild Tribes. But Uncle
Sam has put his foot down on this
practice, and from now on "Lo" will
have to content himself with one wife

odd children. Many of them are well

name, Needle, leaves one to infer that

cident connected with her birth In
which a needle played conspicuous
part. Outlines a child's name il Al
