It is said that country physicians in
 many instances have adopted the use of pigeons as messengers. A physician raises a loft of carriers. and when he visits patients four or five miles away he carries with him a basket contain ing Sone of his birds. If dangerous symptoms arise in the night or the fol- lowing day the pigeon is released with message. Some physicians with long country routes carry half dozen or more of these pigeons on their rounds and leave one at each place. A daily report of the different cases can thus hs obtained by pigeon service. This

Manufacturers and capitalists have been to Houston, Texas, recently to arrange for the establishment of a large manufacturing plant for the util- ization of the cotton stalk. Among the articles in the manufacture of which 1t will form the basis are fine linen paper alcofoIs, celluloids, fertilizers. many fabrics and smokeless powder Anoth- CT object of the visit was the close ex- animation of cotton stalks. The larger the stalk the better adapted is it for manufacturing use, and they have found the growth at it's greatest per- lection in South Texas. They have contracted for hundreds of acres of the stalks of this years crop around Con- gales.

Great is sanitary science, sometimes. The British Medical Journal tells cur ious story at the expense of the French Academy of Medicine, which has recent ly moved to new quarters. On the place being cleaned, the room in which the council used to hold it's meetings was found to be kind of museum, contain- ing specimens of Paris dirt, collected in the course of many years. As first step in the process of purification the carpet. worn and heavy. with the dust of ages, was taken up, when, to the wonderment Of the beholders. another carpet. still more. ragged and grimy, came into view; under this was another, below that again, fourth, and so on until some ten layers of moldering car- pet had been removed.

Lord Roberts, who has just retired, was only the eighteenth commander in-chief that the British army has had since the office was created in 1874. This gives an average tenure of nearly thirteen years, which is 8 long time for any man to serve after working his way up to so lofty a position. But at times the office has been vacant, and not all of the incumbents put their feet on all the rounds of the ladder. Tn earlier times the office was a perquisite of the great.

GETS HER DIVORCE.
Mrs. Matte ]. SpauIding Given a Ri.
vorce From Her Husband by Judge
Belden This Morning.
EVIDENCE PROVES SENSATIONAL.

In the Circuit court at Racine this
morning Judge E. B. Be1den handed
| down a decision granting an absolute
| decree OF divorce to Matte j. Spau1d-
ing in her suit against her husband,
Or. J. B. Spaulding, the former city
physician. The case has been in
court for many months and it has at
tracted wide attention on account of
the fact that both parties were we'll
known. In her complaint Mrs.
Spaulding alleged that her husband
had treated her in a cruel and in
human manner and that on account of
this treatment she had been forced to
| leave her home in Kenosha and had
| spent the last winter with her father
in Bloomington, Ill.
This claim was supported by the
evidence of Mrs. Spau1ding and her
father, Mr.. White, of Bloomington,
ILL.,, they being the only witnesses ex-
amined during the hearing of the
case. DR.. Spau1ding was in Racine
and was represented in court by his
attorney, Peter Fisher. He did not
take the witness stand but in his an
swer to the complaint made by the
wife the doctor entered an emphatic
denial to the charges brought in the
complaint and stated that'the whole
trouble was one of incompatibi1ity of
natures.
Since the bringing of the action
| efforts have been made to arrange in
regard to a1imony, Mrs. Spau1ding
simply asking an allowance for the
one child of the union. In this re-
gard the court in keeping with the
stipulation of the attorneys interested
| directed that the defendant should
pay to the plaintiff the sum of $500
weekly for the support of the child.
Mrs. Spau1ding will be permitted to
take her maiden name, Matte ].
White, and she will have the custody
of the one child, Lucille Spau1ding.
It is understood that she will make
her home in Bloomington at the home
of her father, who is one of the
wealthiest residents of that city.
