a pigeon Mith n Memnrr.

1t seems really impossible to extin-
guish the boming instinct In good
pigeon. A story is told of French
carrier pigeon which was captured By
this German soldiers during the siege
of Paris in 1870. The bird was being
carried in balloon from Paris to
some point in the country, whence 1t
was expected to return to Paris with
message. 1t was taken to the Ger
man headquarters and presented to
the commander, Prince Frederick
Charles, who sent 1t to his mother In
Germany. Here it was placed in a
splendid roomy aviary and carefully
fed and nourished; but, although it WAS
kept here, living in the lap of royal
luxury for four years, the French
pigeon did not forget its fatherland.
At the end of that time the aviary
was left open one day. The pigeon
flew out, mounted high in the air, flew
about for a moment as If to find the
points of the compass and started in q
straight line for Paris. Ten days aft
erward 1t beat its wings against the
entrance to its old loft in the Boule-
ward de Clichy. There it was recog-
nized, and, its case being brought to
public attention. it was honored as a
patriot returned from foreign captiv-
ity. 1t remained at the Paris Jardin
dAcclimation until it died in 1878.

FISHES THAT AXE RACERS.
The Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are
the Speed Champions.

The TarpOn, shark and Mackerel Are
the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed of fishes Is en-
barraSSed by unfaVOrable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of Il quarter
of a mile and, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation of the sub
Ject goes to show that the mackerel, IL
not the champion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the honOrs. PROFESSIONALLY it travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate Of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug Undoubtedly the energy en-
plOyed by fish Of great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when travelling at
It's best gait, Is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents
maximum Of energy in minimum of
bulk, Utilities about 200 horsepower.
OF course it Is only a guess but 1t
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that seventy fooN: whale
makes use Of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate of thirty miles an hour
A whale, which Is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
train if the shark is cannon ball ex-
press, but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
If there is Il fish that can travel fast
er than q shark it must be the tarpon,
which can probably hit her up" to'the
tune of eighty miles an hour, If pressed
for time. Generally speaking, it may
be said that tinny creatures which live
near the surface Of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod which is a deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their liv-
Ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as a good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion Of the ocean. No fish
Is better shaped for rapid going Some
years ago a yacht builder In New
York constructed a sloOp with a hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
of Spanish mackerel. She was called
the Undine, and, If tradition does not
lie, she never was beaten. Like the
fish after which she was modelled, she
had her greatest breadth OF beam for
ward of amidships-a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike In their make
up; yet, on the whole, it is surprising
that marise architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from natures own IL

and successful teacher conducted the
first school in town. Early in the
year 1879 it being found that the facil-
tiles under the board of the District
township were not adequate for the
rapid increase in population, an indie
pendent district was organized. direct

two story four room building. which
was completed and occupied early in
the year 1880, with Geo. N. Funk as
principal and Mrs. S. S. Cameron.
assistant. Additional room had to
be provided from time to time, until
1908 the present cOmmOdiOus brick
building, which is modern in its style
and appointments, was erected. In
the choice of teachers the school
board has been very conservative.
Prof. r. p. Hooker the retiring super
intendent was retained at the head of
the schools for fourteen consecutive
years; and during all those years the
standard of the school was gradually
raised. Last spring as he was not a
candidate for reelection F. J. Mantz
was chosen superintendent.
In selecting Miss Ella M. Stearns as
principal the board acted wisely.
Few teachers enjoy the respect of par
ents and pupils as she does. Already
in her new position she has shown
ability of a high order. The two

When one of the large benefactors of

man in Lawrence customer of his
firm contracted debt which ran along
for year or more without any signs
Of settlement. Several letters, says
the Boston Herald, failed to bring
about liquidation
One day, while glancing over the re-
ligious notices in a local paper, Har-
wards benefactor saw something which
gave him an inspiration, and he went
to his desk and wrote the following
note to the debtor:

bers: J. NJ. Graham, J. NJ. McKara-
han, Simon Hansen, l.. d. Phelps and
w. II. O'Connell. Each is wide awake,
energetic and conservative, and has a
desire to make the school second to
none. Selfshness of purpose is not
present in the mind of a single one.
The members at the present time are
spending considerable time fixing up
the building and grounds SO that the
efficiency of the school may be increas-
ed.
Since the nations greatness depends
in measure upon the education of
its citizens, every person should be
vitality interested in the success of the
schools. 1t is with the unseltish CO.
operation of parents, pupils and teach
ers that this can be accomplished.
Then let us make the standard high
and maintain it. Let us have as near

Look For Happin ess.

Some one has said that we find what
we are looking for in this world. If
that Is true, and it is true in GER
tain measure, how very much better
and more wholesome to be looking for
kindness rather than Sights, for hap
piness rather than misery, for the
flowers of life rather than its thorns,
says Woman's Life. Even when these
things seem impossible you may think
them so, and by the power of your IL
lusions make them come true. Illusion
and disillusiOn are to the mind what
rose colored and blue spectacles are to
the eyes-illusion the rose, disillusion
the blue. 1t may seem a sort of child's
play to hold so fast to that which may
be mythical, but anything is worth
while which makes for happiness and
peace.

Miles are college graduates and are
doing first class work. Miss Brown
who has charge of the music has al
ready proved that she is an exception
ally strong music instructor. Her
work as a chOrOus leader was highly
appreciated by the large audience at
the Presbyterian church on the day
of Audubon's Anniversary. In the
grades there is that unselfish enthusi-
asm that makes each teacher force

the grade teachers and each is doing
excellent work. The following com
prise the grades: Mabel Keith, Mary
Davis, Maud DOak, Ella Hurd, Nellie
Wicker, Mae McIlvane, Anna Viewer,
Ada Kuhn and Frances Burns.
The work has been arranged that each

the progress this year that they should
make it is surely not the fault of the
teacher.

When the English government de-
nounced John Paul Jones as pirate
the American naval hero neatly coun-
tered. He replied that he had looked
in the dictionary and found pirate
defined as IAN enemy of mankind, /"
and, "as England was then at war with
the whole of America, the greater part
of Europe and much of Asia, not to
speak of a bit Of Africa, she in point
of fact came as near being the enemy
of mankind as could well be conceived
and that England was therefore the

Politeness is perhaps instructive with

matter of training of the slow and care
full discipline of voice and eye and
carriage. Under this training all the
angles of personal vanity and self con

becomes adorned with grace, ease, gen

seem to the unframed observer as the
perfection of naturalness may be sim

square quadruped, and, as is custom
airy with square quadrupeds, has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
1t on the back. If 1t is very much
pleased it sets up its tail quite stiff,
like a ruler, 50 that your hand cannot
get any farther. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country 1t
seldom needs them all because of
