in ordinary handwriting they would

At the present time Germany is far
beyond other countries in the mill
tary use of pigeons. There is a big
loft at Cologne of about 400 to 600
pigeons, which is in direct commune
cation with Berlin, and there are
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
ton. 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
&c 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
PaHs-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 tie 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 foldingS-feld-cage This
cage is 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.-Cincinnat

the ease with which they can be
taken down for cleaning, etc. About
once a month they are taken to some
convenient place to receive an appli-
cation of inSecticide and new filling.
One part of crude carbolic acid and
two parts of kerosene make an eX-
cellent mixture for disinfecting, and
for repelling vermin. Where boxes
are stationary they are inconvenient
to take care of, and contents are apt
to become foul and the breeding
place of lice.
These movable boxes are Just the
thing where hens are used for incu-
baton. When hen becomes broody
eggs are given to her, and at night
the box, hen and all, is carried to an
apartment of the brooder house,
where she can serve out her time un-
molested. and at the same time get
off to take food and exercise.
The boxes should be all made uni
form as to distance apart of the
holes by which they are suspended,
so that n box may be removed from
one pair of nails to another pair any
where else.

of the luxuries of civilization. In this
instance also, the chief violates the Gus
toms of his people, who not only ban
ish from sight and memory every re-
minder Of their dead, but object Sc
riously to dwellings, built of timber.
In short, they utterly refuse to live
in the neat little two-roomed houses
built for them by the government, and
prefer their white-topped canvas te-
pees. / have seen numbers of these
little red-painted government houses
standing empty and neglected around
Fort Sill, slowly falling to the ground,
while near by group of tepees loomed
up against the rugged background of
mountain. The picturesque Wichita
mountains engirdle the Comanche al
lotments, and no more beautiful re-
gion can be seen in all Oklahoma.
Chief Quanah is a willy old redsllin.
1t is said on the reservation that he
walks both roads''-the paleface road
of progress and backward trail of the
redskins. During his checkered career
nate, as to acquire seven wives; this
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
only. Chief Quanah is the father of 30
odd children. Many of them are well
educated, but the subject of this sketch
carries off the palm among the Par
ker olive branches.
Needle Parker, Quanah's daughter, is
a quarter-breed Comanche, and one of
the most beautiful and interesting In
dian girls to be found among the Kio-
wa and Comanche Indians of Oilaho-
ma. Her somewhat melancholy, though
beautifully regular, features, show few
traces of the stern, aquiline, Indian
type, partaking rather of the soft
curves of the distant Spanish strain
inherited by the Comanches from their
Mexican ancestry. Her complexion is
pure olive, showing the Caucasian
blood of her captive grandmother. Her
either she is an adept with the needle
of civilized womanhood, or acquired
her peculiar name (after the manner
of these Indians,) because of some in
cident connected with her birth in
which a needle played conspicuous
part. Ofttimes a child's name is al
tered in after years on account of
some marked personal characteristic.
Perhaps this young woman with the
melancholy Spanish beauty showed
marked talent for needlework and so
obtained her name. She has sister
who rejoices in the more civilized name
of Laura. This more progressive
daughter of the chief is assistant cash
Ter in the bank of Indiahoma, while vet
another, who ''walks the paleface
way" is teaching school.
The chiefs eldest son, Walter, grad
uate of Carlisle, and very promising
young man, died short time ago, n
victim of that dread destroyer of the
Blanket Indians-consumptio to the
great grief of the old chief. who is de-
voted to his children, and is a father
as well to all his tribe. To his home,
the white house" of this little nation,
they flock to seek his advice in weighty
matters, his house being truly the Nee
ca of the Comanches-Floren b.
