BIRDS Do THEIR WORK WELL
Homing Pigeons Employed to Carry
Packages and Letters Between
Australian Lighthouses.

Pretty pigeons of Australia carry
packages and messages between Ho-
bart and Maatsuyker Island light
house, distance of about seventy
five miles. Last November they called
physician for a lighthouse attendant
and probably saved his life. Three
birds are liberated with messages
every three weeks, and when accident
or illness occurs three additional birds
are set free. Twelve birds in all are
used for the service. While mes
sages have not always reached their
destination, the service has neverthe-
less been highly satisfactory. The
messages are written on a piece of
paper tied under the birds wing; but
the marine board has in view some
celluloid cases which may be adjusted
under the BIRDS wing and in which a
good deal of information might be
carried.
The birds are fed on gray peas of
good quality, get plenty of grit and
fresh water and are kept thoroughly
clean. They are also allowed at their
station plenty of opportunity for need

suggested important possibilities for
more general use of homing pigeons
for such service. Trophies are to
be provided for homing competitions,
so as to encourage owners to breed
the best descriptions of carriers. There
are about 10000 of these birds in Aus
tralia.

LAWYERS Sharp and Biting Retort.

Two well-known lawyers were try

other of the attorneys would say
something.
One of them sneeringiy criticised
the language in a statement made by
the opposing counsel.

who was attacked, I'll have you un-
derstand, my dear sir, that know
what I'm talking about. I'm an ABB,

What a Girl Learns.

Katherine Eggleston complains in a
magazine article that children are
taught about mems work and not about
women's. Even in the kindergarten
they learn about Lincoln and Wash
ington and even the pictures show the
lion and forget the foness. She
learns history in the high school with
all the brave ideals of men, and cour-
ageous women are completely ignored.
Then she learns carpentering, although
she may not be able to cook an egg,
ana she knows all about higher math-
ematics, but is cheated by the butcher.
She learns political economy, but does
not know who are members of the
local school board

NEED QUALITY OF PATIENCE.
Highways Of France No Place for
Pedestrian Who Would Move.
in Hurry.

The highways of France are broad
and shaded, her innkeepers neither
exclusive nor intrusive; yet even here
pedestrianism has it's drawbacks. Chief
among them are the railway crossings.
The French system of protection
against accidents is effective, no
doubt, but if monsieur the Frenchman
were as impatient being as the
American, the mortality would be lit
tie lessened, for the delay involved at
these "traverses du chemin de fer"
would choke with rising choler as
many as might come to grief at an
unprotected crossing.
On either SIDE OF the track is a
ponderous 'barriere," the opening and
shutting of which would be slow un-
der the best of circumstances. Being
always tended by a colossal barrie
riere" (gate woman), who moves with
the stately grace of house being
raised on jack screws, the barricade
is unduly effective. Ten minutes be-
fore a train is due la barrieriere hoists
herself erect, waddles across the track
ITO draw the farther gate, closes the
bearer one and. having locked them
Sboth. returns to the shade of her cot
tage. The train may be an hour late,
but that is beside the question. This
is the time that madame is hired to
lock the gates. and locked they must
remain until the train has passed.
Woe betide the intrepid voyager who
tries to climb over them, for her
tongue Is sharp and the long arm Of
the law is arrayed on her side.
