Pigeon Roosts Fifty Years Ago.

Pigeon Roost, Scott county, Ind, re-
ceived it's name from its being the night
ly rendezvous of the passenger or wild
pigeon. These pigeons usually selected
some heavily wooded or elevated locall-
ty for their roosting, bordering on their
feeding grounds, which might be sever
al hundred miles in extent. The pigeons
usually commenced to arrive before SUM-
set and continued in increasing num-
bers until after midnight. At daybreak
the birds would begin to leave the roost,
and on swift wing depart for their feed
ing grounds, miles away, returning at
night, as stated. 1t may safely be said
that these birds ranged the forests OF
Indiana from the Wabash to the Ohio,
and extending far into Kentucky. So
large were their roosts that they became
localities of great interest. None was
more famous than the one in Finley
township, Scott county, Ind. hence the
name of the settlement early established
there-the Pigeon Roost.-Cinclnnatl

How to Cure Insomnia.

It is now a generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes OF
Insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in a disturbed condi-
ton Of the digestive organs If in moth
ing more serious. The remedy In such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where Insomnia Of protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
period of fasting. There are few
cases of sleeplessness, in fact. in which
O little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking of cold
water just before retiring Is often
highly efIicacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power is
q generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness, the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

Praises the Bicycle.

It seems to be coming-scientif1c ap-
proval-in all directions. DR.. Cham
poniere, member of the Academy of
Medicine, has made observations on
Frenchwomen who have used the wheel,
and he finds they are better performers
than men, learning more easily and
with less purposeless expenditure OF
force. He finds marked increase in the
amount of muscle developed all over the
trunk of the body, especially about the
torso. The lung capacity is Increased,
full, healthy action Of the heart is re-
stored and the deposition Of fat is avoid
ed. The doctor asserts that he can detect
infallibly the woman who uses the
wheel from her sisters when they cross
the streets. One proceeds with self con-
fidence and ease when the other dodges
and invites disaster. He then examines
the mental discipline afforded by the BIZ
cycle, and thence deduces his most strlk-
ing conclusions. He finds that the wom-
ans powers Of attention and observation
are awakened in an extraordinary de-
gree, or rather that these powers, with
which all human beings are endowed at
birth, are saved from atrophy, which in
both sexes is one Of thu most marked
defects produced by civilization. The
wheelwomen move with something OF
the freedom and dignity observed in
some of the higher uncivilized races.
The doctor disclaims any intention to
theorize, but at the close Of his article
permits himself to dream Of a new
Frenchwoman as the product Of the bi"

Make Sewerage Compulsory.
Newberry Herald and News.

Sewerage will not be worth anything to this
town unless the people use the system.
leading physician OF this community tells US
that the greatest menance TO public health is
q privy. Then we should do everything pos
siole and reasonable to get rid Of this me-
nance The city council, the board Of health
and the commissioners should CO operate In
their efforts for the public veal.
The cost OF sewrage as charged oy the
plumbers here makes II almost prohibition.
We do not say they charge too much for we
do not know any thing about the cost, but we
want TO fall upon some plan by which all per-
sons within the reach OF the sewrage can take
advantage Oft.
The commissioners should arrange to make
sew erage connection at actual cost, and tie
board OF health should make 1t compulsory,
and let the town pay for It. and give the
property owner term Of years 10 pay the
money back 30 that II would not fail 40 heav-
lily on the persons OF limited means. THIS
we understand Is being done in some cities
and while there Will be more or less kicking
when the people realize the Importance ol
this sanitary measure they will accept 1t as
the best solution and sensible solution.
Sewerage will never be worth an thing to the
health OF this town 30 long as 1t Is not used
and the menapces to public health are per.
mitted TO remain, and some OF them right by
the side OF the street.

How to Make Wine Whey.

One pint of milk heated to 100 de-
grees T., one teaspoonful Of prepared
rennet and two tablespoonfuls Of wine.
Stir the rennet and the wine into the
milk quickly. so that the wine may not
curdle the milk in blotches. Let 1t
stand in q warm place ION the stove
hearth, for instance) for half an hour,
then separate the curd from the whey
by straining. The whey Is excellent
for children with delicate digestion
who need little stimulant. 1t is very
good also as O drink for envalids at
any time.

,MAY BE SINGING FISHES.
A Phenomenon of the Sea Which Is In.
teresting and Mysterious.

teresting and Mysterious.
Here is an account of phenomenon
of the Pascagoula river in Mississippi,
to which, although it is not generally
known, the attention of naturalists has
been called on account Of its mystery.
At times very remarkable sounds arc
heard at the mouth of this river. The
local fishermen say that it is the spirits
singing under the water.' 1t is muir
muring sound, which rises gradually
and then falls to lower Tone The
music ceases when the waters are dis
turbed, and when they are quiet it be-
gins again.
Several explanations have been offered
as to the origin and cause of the mystic
rious sounds Of the Pascagoula. The
most satisfactory theory is that the
sounds are produced by species of fish
in some unknown way. Professor Il.
Brown Goode, who is an authority on
fishes and fish life, thinks that the drum
fish may cause the sounds in question.
Instances Of peculiar sounds being
heard at sea and ascribed to fishes are
not uncommon, as the following exam-
pies will show:
In 1924, when Lieutenant White OF
the American navy was at the mouth OF
a river in Cambodia, he and his crew
were surprised by unusual sounds. he
described the noises as mixture OF the
bass of an organ, the ringing of bells,
the cultural cries of large frog and the
tones of an immense harp. The natives
said that the sounds were produced by a
school Of certain kind of fish.
DR.. Buist, 1947, reported that a party
Of people in boat on the waters near
Bombay heard strange sounds, which
the natives held to be caused by fish.
The we'll known English traveller, Sir j.
Emerson Tennent, heard similar sounds
from the lake of Batticaloa in Ceylon,
and here again the natives claimed that
fishes made the sounds Several corre-
spondents Of newspapers have reported
having heard sounds which were pro-
duced by fishes One writer in the Lon
don Field, 1867, AYERS that in the har-
Dor at Greytown, Nicaragua, he was
haunted at night by these mysterious
sounds. Another in the same paper tells
of musical sounds which he heard in the
Tavoy river. Other instances of more
recent date might be mentioned.
From all the accounts given we may
draw some interesting conclusions
Thus it seems that the sounds are al
most always heard on shipboard, though
Charles Kingsley once heard them at
Trinidad from the shore; that they are
usually heard in tropical regions; that
they are more often heard at night than
at any other time; that they are COM
monty heard at the mouth Of rivers, as
at the mouth Of the Pascagoula, and
that they have been reported from far
distant places in America, Europe and
Asia.-Our Animal Friends.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
How to Prepare and Serve 1t In
TcmntiHi; Way.

AS the patient begins to regain health
and strength more solid food is given
milk or cream toast, soft bollet or
poachcd eggs, cereal mushcs, stcwed or
sometimes fresh fruits or well baked
potato. Great care must be taken not
10 overtax tho digestive organs. Re
lapscs arc often causcd by too much in
diligence Of the patients appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great Gaze. \ broiled bird or
g. piece of rare beefsteak or chop may
be given when the patient IS In suill-
ciently advanced stage of recovery.
OYSTERS are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When they are overcooked'
the albumen becomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest. Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
Cream SOUPS are valuable. as they are
nourishing and easily digested. but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal Of attention should be
paid to the serving of food for SICK
person. The faint appetite OF illness
can best be coaxcd by the daintiness OF
the food. Serve the food on tray with
q fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
II. Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or a little sprig of green laid upon the
white tray cloth is often an incentive
to the Indifferent appetite, but do not
ATTEMPT a vase Of flowers unless it be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with the prettiest china and
glass obtainable, without too much col
or, so as to weary the. eye. If the china
is all Of q single pale tint, the effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to the
eve Of the patient. 1t must also be
small enough to accommodate the size
of the tray. Never let the tray or re-
mains Of food served stand In the sick
room after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served imme-
diately after they are prepared. and 1t
seems superhuous to mention that all
hot dishes must be hot and all colo
dishes equally cold. However, this Is
not always done. Sometimes both the
cold and hot dishes are allowed to
stand until they reach the same, tenn
peraturc.
There are great many simple, dain-
ty desserts which may be served to the
invalids, especially those made with
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream is often
given and is very nutritious and can be
digested by some very i'll patients, and
it Is almost always relished.

Drop Forgings.

The machinery for drop forging is
ponderous and expensive. The plates
that stamp out the forgings are in two
sections, one Of which fits into the bed
of the machine, and the other is fas-
tened to the arm. Together these two
plates have an opening the shape OF the
desired forging. The descent of the arm
on a piece of tool steel stamps out a
piece of the requisite shape. After leav-
ing the forging machine the metal is III
a rough state and has to be turned down
on lathe and bored out, each OF which
operations has to be carefully done, as
the finished article has to be exact in
every particular. Tlmes-Her'

BACK FROM HER TRIP.
Miss AntOinette Hammond visits the
Great Westtand IN Charmed.

miss AQpOlnette dam1nOuu uds JusI reluTu-
ed from a big trip west.
About two months ago, she lett home to
visit her uncle, Mr.. James Rutlege, whom
our older citizens remember very we'll. He
lives In Fort Smith, Arka nsas. During her
stay she had most delightful time. She Is
enthusiastic about the mountain scenery
along the route, going and coming, but when
we asked hei about the beaus she had capti-
waited, she declined TO be interviewed on
that subject, but told US that she passed
through several states on her travels, namely:
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Arkansas, Missouri, and took in a small part
Of Indian Territory. She went by Atlanta,
Birmingham, and Memphis. On her return
she passed by Springfield, Memphis, and
Chattanooga.
At Chattanooga she saw Lookout Noun
tainin all Its glory, but she did not see
the National Cemetery and the National Park,
where the battle Of Chick amauga was fought.
She was delighted with the western people,
but from all that we could learn, they did not
aleniate her affections from the people OF
South Carolina, and especially not from her
good friends In Abbeville.
While she did not say 70, we have no doubt
that she still holds fast to her lovers in Abb
beville. When interviewed on this poInt.
she suddenly became impressed with the
need to haste away TO she express office.
