His Swift and Trustworthy Messengers Fly
from the Street to a New Jersey Farm in
an Hour—Winged Competition with Tele-
phone and Telegraph.
One day a friend of mine, a Chicago busi-
ness man, came to visit me at my farm down
in New Jersey. “How do you find the time
to give to this place,” said he a few moments
after his arrival, “to say nothing of the leis-
ure one should have to enjoy it? I should
think it would be impossible for a busy stock
broker. Do you have a private wire to Wall
street?” Having been often asked the same
questions before I held my peace. In a little
while we went out of doors to look at the live
stock. I hud a pair hitched up to a double
buggy, and, with my Chicago friend at my
side, was soon jogging around the track I have
made to exercise my horses on.
We are at the far side of the track when one
of the stablemen comes on a run from among
the buildings and waves something in his
hand. I quicken the pace of the horses and
in an instant we are where he stands. He steps
to my side and hands me a small slip of paper
folded up very compactly. I unroll the slip
and rear! the writing which is crowded on its
surface. Then, turning to my friend:
“Prices have not changed since morning,
and ray manager says that the market is very
dull. That slip has just been one hour incom-
ing from my office in New street.” “Is it a
telegram?” queries my companion. “No;”
“Then how did it get here?” “By carrier
pigeon,” and with that I signal to the horses
and we are once more spinning swiftly around
the track.

HOW IT IS DONE.
Better luck attended this experiment, but
it required care and patience. The cote was
arraigned so that it would be attractive to
the birds. Constant efforts had to be made
so as to test and educate them. They were
taken some distance from home and let fly in
a flock, all arriving safely. Then they were
tested separately, first on short distances,
then on increasing lengths. In this way the
strong and capable birds were separated from
the weak and uncertain oqes. At length the
flock was weeded out, and those that remained
can now be depended on to perform their
duty satisfactorily.
As young birds are bred they are experi-
mented with and only admitted to the select
band if they show the proper ability and in-
stinct. This is the origin of the Wall Street
yEi’ial Messenger company (limited). In
practice it is simple enough. A hamper with •
several of the birds is kept at my office. They
are only fed or watered sufficiently to keep
them in condition while so detained. Spring,
summer and autumn, when not in town, I
feel that I can with perfect security and
serenity stay at the farm or take a train to
town early in the afternoon. If quotations
change, or if a message of any kind has to
be sent to me, it is written on a pad of very
thin paper. The blanks are printed with the
names of stocks, so that quotations can be
readily jottecj down.
Folded up into a narrow strip,, this is
wrapped with light wire to the tail feather
of the bird. Then, let loose from one of the
Windows, the intelligent creature rises up
above the roofs of the surrounding buildings,
and, with perhaps a preliminary circle or
so, strikes out across the Hudson, over Jersey
City, and steers a straight course to its cote
among the hills of Somerset. The maze of
telegraph wires that surrounds the Stock Ex-
change sometimes offer a temptation to stop
and rest awhile before starting on the jour-
ney. But this, with the older and well
trained birds, is rare. As a rule they per-
form their mission with a celerity and dis-
patch that would put the district messenger
service to the blush.
They can be relied upon to make the dis-
tance in an hour, and this time is rarely ex-
ceeded save by a young or inexperienced
bird. Stones and guns in the hAnds of boys
and fools sometimes cause unaccountable
disappearances. But, on the whole, the in-
stinct that draws the bird to its home can be
depended on. The detentions or accidents
are no greater than would be the case with a
telegraph line. All the misconduct that my
birds have ever been guilty of does not com-
pare in its annoyance with what, one gen-
erally suffers from that necessary evil, the
telephone. In fact, the experiment shows
conclusively that for moderate distances the
homing pigeon can be made a useful adjunct
to business:—Alfred de Cordova tn Brooklyn

Forty Years. ’
It is now forty years since the Emer-
son piano first saw the1 light. During its
youth, it fulfilled the promises of its in-
fancy, and now in its maturity it is more
than fulfilling the promises of its youth,
It promised fo be sweet in tone. It is
really mellifluent. It promised fullness.
It is truely diapasonic in all the corn-
pass of its glorious notes. It promised
quick, responsive action. It is simply
the perfection of mechanism, answering
with marvelous celerity. It promised
artistic outlines, and lo ! it is “a thing of
beauty and a joy forever.” By all means
get an Emerson when you want a new
piano Thomas Goggan & Bro. alone sell
them.

The Hall Torpedo.
Should the torpedo become greatly in-
clined downward, the water in the “flask”
would rush forward, a float would rise and
the valve would become reversed, bringing the
torpedo to an even keel. A buoyant grapnel,
by means of a tow line, is secured to the trig-
ger at the bow, and as the torpedo rushes
through the water it is towed astern-, so that
it fouls the net or other obstruction placed
about a ship to protect her from torpedo at-
tack, and explodes the magazine while the
torpedo is passing under the'vessel’s bottom.
The only other special features of the torpedo
are the pectoral fins, which he close to thd
uose end of the weapon, their office being to
prevent the rolling of the torpedo, and their
working is through the medium of a column
of mercury, which works a valve leading to
the air flask. When the "torpedo rolls, this
vhlve is opened, admitting the air, which
works a rod attached to the nn and forces it
out. The surface of the fin being exposed to the
upward pressure of the water outside and be-
neath the torpedo, causes it to roll back to an
upright position. When this occurs the mer-
cury fails, the valve closes and the pin is
pushed back in place by the water pressure.
The advantages of this torpedo .over others
are simplicity of general design, and particu-
larly in steering and diving gear, large flask
capacity, which means greater endurance
and consequent increase of effective radius;
increased power, owing to the expansive use
of compressed air in an automatic engine,
and finally, its ability to overcome the net
defenses of a man-of-war.—Naval Review.
The Pidpii and The Stage.
Rev. F. M. Shrout, pastor United
Bretheren church, Blue Mound, Kan.,
says: “1 feel it my duty to tell what
wonders Dr. King’s New Discovery has
done for ine. My lungs were badly dis-
eased, and my parishioners thought I
would live only a few weeks. I took five
bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery and
am now sound and well, gaining 26
pounds in weight.”
Arthur Love, manager Love’s Funny
Folks combination, writes: “After a
thorough trial and convincing evidence,
I am confident Dr. King’s New Discovery
for consumption, beats ’em all, and cures
when everything else fails. The greatest
kindness I can do my many thousand
friends is to urge them to try it.” Free

About Watering Plants.
Through the mistaken attentions of the
housewife, or perhaps her overzealous daugh-
ter, house plants too often get more water
than they need. When out of doors the sur-
plus water poured upon them is absorbed by
the ground around them—but even then it
can be easily overdone. When the potted
plant has too much water the soil becomes
mud, sours and rots the roots, and the plant
naturally dies. Care should be taken that
the water not needed should have easy means
of escape. The best method of providing
for this is to place a piece of broken flower
pot over the inevitable hole in the bottom of
the pot or box, and then fill the vessel with
smaller pieces of the same to the height of ■
one inch. An inch should also be left at the
top of the pot to allow the water a resting
place from which to soak into the soil. Care
should be taken not to pile the earth, after
the fashion of some amateurs, around the
neck of the plant, as this is injurious to most
plants, and is never done by florists.—Wash-

Man and Alligator Both Satisfied.'
A South Carolina man who was cur-

alligator could get away with when he
felt well, fed out a hind quarter of a

this didn’t troubles the ’gator any.—

inherited Blood Poison.
How many people tliere are whose distress
from sores;'aches, pains and eruptive tenden-
, cies are due to inherited blood poison. Bad
blood passes from parent to child, and it there-
fore is the duty of husband and wife to keep
. thejj lylood pure. This is easily accomplished
by the. timely use of B. B. B. (Botanic Blood
Balm). Send,, to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, fora
book of-mo^f convincing proof.
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga„ writes; ‘‘My two
sons were afflicted with blood poison, which
doctors said was hereditary. They both broke
out in sores and eruptions, which B. B. B,
promptly controlled and finally cured com-
pletely.”
Mrs. 8. M. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes:
“My three poor afflicted children, who inher-
ited blood poison, have improved rapidly after
a use of B. B. B. It is a godsend.”
J. R. Wilson, Glen Alpine Station, N. C.,. Feb.
13,1885, writes: “Bone and blood poison forced
me to have my leg amputated,and on the stump
there came a large ulcer, which grew wore every
day until doctors gave me up to die. I only
weighed 120 pounds when I began to take B. B.
B., and twelve bottles increased my weight to
180 pounds and made me sound and well,
never knew what good health was before.”
FAILURES AT FIRST.
About five years ago I bought my farm,
Chetolali, in North Branch township, Somer-
set county, N. J. It is about forty miles by
the Jersey Central road from Communipaw.
The railroad depot, where there is also a tele-
graph station, is about two and a half miles
from the house.
To spend my Sundays there, with an odd
day now and then thrown in, or perhaps a
few days at a time when summer dullness
settled on the market, seemed the best that
could be hoped for. But, once tasted, country
life presented a thousand charms and attrac-
tions that had not been dreamt of. The chief
objection to bestowing a more liberal share
of my time on it was that of keeping up com-
munication with the “street.” It was com-
paratively easy to get telegrams from the
farm to my New York residence, but the
more important messages from Wall street
which would keep me advised of the condition
of the market or of any sudden development
that might require my presence or action
were exasperatingly slow in reaching me.
Then the more or less amiable young ladies
who successively had charge of the telegraphic
department of the station had an unaccount-
able habit of going home for lunch just as an
important message was about to come over
the wires. At this juncture the idea sug-
gested itself to try carrier pigeons. I had
taken some interest in the performances of
these remarkable birds. The distance from
my office, close by the Stock Exchange, to
the farm is about forty-three miles. Birds
were constantly making longer journeys than
that. It seemed like a good plan and it was
forthwith put into execution.
A dozen birds or so were accordingly pur-
chased from a fancier in New York and in-
stalled in a loft over the barn. My first essay
at employing carrier pigeons was unsuccess-
ful. After they had become presumably ac-
customed to their new home they were taken
successively to town and let loose, but only a
few ever came back. The majority may have
returned to their original home, gunners may
have picked them off or prospects of food and
rest may have seduced them into consorting
with plebeian pigeons. In short, the specula-
tion wore a decidedly bearish appearance.
At this point unexpected assistance was
tendered me. One of my best friends in Wall
street was that prince of sportsmen and stock
operators, the late Charles F. Woerishoffer,
to whom I had confided my difficulties as a
pigeon fancier. He knew of a famous breed
of carrier birds somewhere in Germany. In
a short time five pairs of males were brought
across the Atlantic and domiciled in the cote I
had rigged up for my birds. From these,
with some admixture of strains of the best,
carriers to be found in this country, my pres-
ent efficient little corps of messengers are
descended.

What to Do for Squeaking Shoes.
The squeaking of shoes, as the Listener be-
lieves he once before explained, is due to the
rubbing of the upper upon the under sole.
This is prevented by putting soapstone pow-
der between the two thicknesses of leather,
which acts as a sort of lubricator. A shoe
which has squeaked can be cured by the
dealer or a cobbler simply by ripping the
soles apart, putting in soapstone and sewing
or pegging the leathers together again.
Some people like to have their shoes squeak;
it serves very much the purpose of an an-
nouncement of their presence and takes the
place of the runner who, in India, precedes
the great man’s carriage, shouting, “Make
way for the sahib!” The Listener is not one
of those persons. He prefers mute shoos.
But he can stand anything except a pair of
shoes one of which squeaks and the other
does not. To go down a room, in the face of
a considerable company, with a pair of shoes
making unlike and alternating noises, thus,
“Squeak, clump! squeak, clump!” is one of
the greatest trials in the world.—Boston
