The news that pigeons are being used to

Stamps and Postal Cards.
Scythes as Church Ornaments.

From the Christian Age.
At first sight the scythe is a strange or
nament for a church, but there is nothing
incongruous in these curious agricultural
implements as seen in the parish church OF
st. Marys, at Horncastle, in Lincolnshire.
Thirteen of these blades are nailed above
the door in the north chapel. At one time
the blades numbered forty or fifty, but
owing to rust and decay many of them
have been lost. Each of the scythes Is
about yard In length.
The general belief Is that these blades
were placed in the church In commemora-
ton of the zeal OF peasants who welded
them in defense Of their faith in the rebel
lion known as THE Pilgrimage of Grace"
which had its rise at Louth in 1896. When
the people saw the ruins of their churches
and abbeys they rose in revolt, and, arm
ing themselves with the instruments OF
husbandry, such as the scythes, they went
forth to encounter the enemy. They were
beaten and dispersed, but in the eyes OF
their countrymen they were heroes, and tho
rude implements with which they foughs
were deemed worthy OF an abiding place In
the old church. where the peasants ha<

Man Who Had Part of Brain Re
moved Suffers Again.

5. r. SkidmOre. employed at the post
office as mail collector fell i'm an apOp-
lectic fit on the sidewalk on East Second
South last night. He was attended by
DIR. Mohahan of Bingham, Junction. who
was passing at the time, after which he
was removed to his home al South Ninth
East street
SkdmOre, while collecting mail four
years ago, was thrown against a tele-
phone pole from a cart in which he was
riding and so severely injured that for
weeks he lay between life and death with
apparently but slight chance of his re-
covery. His skull was crushed in the
contact with the pole. and Dr. L. F. Root.
who subsequently attended him, found II
necessary to remove pieces of the skull
and part Of one lobe of the brain. 1t was
two years before SkidmOre recovered
sufficiently TO be able to return to work
at the pOstOffice. In the meantime ms
case attracted q great deal of attention
from surgeons. not alone in Salt Lake,
but throughout the United States, and
even in foreign lands.
Much sympathy was shown Tor him IN
this city and he was the recipient OF
funds raised by playing ball games and
giving of benefit shows and entertain
ments His condition Is not believed TO be
serious as he has been enjoying good
health since his recovery from his injuries
of four years ago.
