ENJOYS OUTDOOR LIFE.
Julia Marlowe, Queen of American
stage, Spends Much of Her Time
In the Open Air.

Miss Julia Marlowe's outdoor diver
sions are golf, driving and automobile
ing. She does. prodigious amount of
walking all the year round. Her love
of nature is almost primitive in its in
tensity. Asked once what was her
greatest ambition, she said it was to
''lead such normal life that I can get
up every morning in time to see the
sun rise" Often she will dismiss her
carriage and revel in facing wind and
weather on foot. An acquaintance ac-
companied her from her hotel to the
theater one March night in the teeth
of driving storm. The sidewalk was
like the bed of mountain stream,
and the winds made umbrellas sar
casm. She enjoyed every step of the
walk and reached the theater in gale
of laughter and high spirits. 1t is this
abundant vitality, this capacity for
getting fun out of things which annoy
or bore most people that give COM
polling charm to her art, and rare,
sweet visacity to her personality.
For time Miss Marlowe had house
of her own in New York city, but this
she has now given up. Her only home
is her country place in the western part

PIGEONS AS MESSENGERS.
Used Quite Extensively m Dispatch
Carriers In the Armies Of Com
tfnental Europe.

Nearly ever European nation has
realized the usefulness of the pigeon.
Germany, Austria. France, Russia,
Italy and Portugal have their mill
tary pigeon posts.
1t was the Franco-German war that
first opened the eyes of military au-
thorities to the possibilities of this
method Of sending messages. Dur
ing the. siege of Paris no fewer than
10000 official dispatches were sent
by pigeon post, as well as 100000
private messages and 100000 francs
in postal orders. Photography was
pressed into the service of this pigeon
post, the messages being photograph
ed on minute films. which were so
light that a single bird could carry
10000 words. 1t was calculated that
if all the messages carried by pigeons
during the siege had been written out
in ordinary handwriting they would
have filed 500 good-sized volumes.
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 500
pigeons, which is in direct commune
cation with Berlin, and there are
similar lofts at all the big fortresses.
It is generally reckoned that 200
birds are needed for one section
that IS to say, for birds required to
fly in one direction onlyand an ad-
ditional $50 birds for each new Sec

You ought to taste, for instance, some Of
Grandma's berry pie.
She keeps it in the pantry, way UP ON the

And when you're good she tells you you
can go and help yourself;
climb up on the barrel and cut great

And when the red juice oozes out. my!

And Grandma fills my dinner pail with
things she knows like;
bait my hook and throw it in and watch,

And as I sit upon the bank, and wait, and
wait and wait,

SCIENCE IN EATING.
Health and Produce a Good and
Clear Complexion.

Girls who value good complexion
and cheerful spirits are advised to
eat plenty of spinach. It contains
salts of potassium and iron and other
wholesome ingredients. The iron in
it is easily assimliated. A vegetable
not generally made much of by
housewives because it is among the
less expensive kinds, it is put in first
place by the food experts and de-
serves more prominence in public es-
TEEN.
People troubled with poor memo
ries are urged to eat mustard. The
seed of the mustard plant is credited
with very quickening, livening prop
critics said to have direct influence
on those brain cells that have to do
with forgetting and remembering.
Nervous folks ought to partake
often of cheese, which acts as seda-
tive. They should beware of eating
cheese to excess. however, as it is a
tax on the digestion. Only moderate
consumption is eficacious.
A too steady diet of potatoes in
iuces fatigue of both body and mind.
Apples are now held to contain
much sustenance for the brain and to
have an celebrating effect on the
spirits. Apples contain phosphorus
and also malic acid, which is most
beneficial for people under mental
strain or who habitually do work
which prohibits exercise. The apple
should not be munched between
times, but taken as component part
of the regular meals.-N. Y. Sun.

tion. Thus 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 week for
90 weeks. It 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 80
miles an hour. A noteworthy per-
Torrance 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.
sares from the advance guard back
to the base. The pigeons are carried
by mounted men in kind of breast
pocket, while the men are also equip
ped with a folding feld-cage. This
cage is used when the birds need to
be fed. or to give them a. 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
