FEATS OF CARRIER PIGEONS
Value Has Been Recognized by
All Governments.

The famous performance of carrier
pigeons during the siege of Paris in
the Franco-Prussian war, when they
carried upwards of 10000 messages,
was the result of an inspiration rather
than of forethought- Private citizens
who CHANGED to have pigeons offered
them to the government. Their per-
Torrance was such a splendid success
that France has ever since maintained
large flocks in charge of the engineer
corps.
The birds are carefully trained as
soon as they are able to fly and are
then drilled daily for the rest Of their
useful lives. They are taught to fly and
to alight on signal. The first thing
Bismarck did after the treaty OF peace
was signed was to establish pigeon
lofts In Berlin and elsewhere through
out the empire. Every other nation In
Europe followed his example, and to-
day every government has thousands
Of pigeons, all ready to carry messages
IN time Of war.

long time in the air if this is still;
even in a high wind it remains long

HAD TO STAND THE GHOSTS
From His UnweIcome, Noisy
Visitors.

Writing on the effect of ghosts on
leaseholds, William W. Ackerly in
Case and Comment tells of case be-
fore the parliament of Paris less than
four centuries ago. 1t appeared that
a house was let in the suburbs of
Tours, and that the tenant, being
promptly disturbed by a noise and
routing of invisible spirits, which suf-
fered neither himself nor his family
to sleep O. nights as promptly went
to law The lower court broke the
lease, the hauntings being considered
did without letters royal, and the les.
sors appealed on the formal point.
Then the ghost was in for it. The
learned counsel for the lessons
laughed at the very idea of noisy
spirits, and cited Joan of Arc, and
quoted from Plato, Philo, Judaeus,
Empedocles, Marcus Aurelius, Ter
tullian, Quintilian and Dioscorides, as
Rntighost authorities. He concluded
that the tenant and his family we're
suffering from nightmare, and sug-
gested that they should consult ply
stefan and not a solicitor; or, granting
that the house was haunted, that they
should appeal to the clergy, and not
to the law. Naturally the tenants ad-
vocate did not appreciate his adver-
sary's sense of humor, and told him
30. He, too, called upon the an
clients for assistance, citing Pliny, Piu-
tarch, Suetonius, Ovid, the Fathers,
and whom else do you suppose? Why,
none other than the self-same Plato
whom his adversary had quoted so
glibly to the contrary. Obviously that
philosophic one, like many OF our
courts, either overlooked, or found
good reason for overruling, former
decision; or else he was an equitable
soul and wished to satisfy both par
ties! Anyway, however, it seems
that the lower court was reversed, and
the poor tenant, of course, had to en-
aure his unwelcome cotenant, or pay
the full terms rent and vacate.

Bertha Mann, is southern girl, but
she is not blind to the little shortcom-
ings of that section.
1t was while she was touring, dur.
ing the days antedating her arrival
as a sterling dramatic actress, that
she stopped at one of the hotels for
which the southern town is less cele.
brated than distinguished. She dallied
with the food while the boniface de-
tailed the hardships of his life in a
small town.
DO you feed your own family the
same food that you feed to the
guests?" she inquired
Jest the same, jest the same" he
replied.
