Many instances are on record of tenacity of memory on the part of carrier pigeons, who are said never to forget their first cote. None of these Instances are more remarkable, prob ably, than that recorded of one of the birds employed to carry messages into Paris during the siege. These birds, domiciled in Paris, were taken out by balloons, and after being laden with tidings from without were liberated and made their way back to their homes. One day a pigeon from one of these balloons was captured by a German soldier of the besieging army. He (^ve it to his officer who presented it in turn to his commander. Prince Frederick Charles. The prince sent it as a gift to his mother in Germany, who happened to be somewhat of a pigeon fancier. “The princess, delighted with the gift, placed the captive in a great dove cote, where it was surrounded with every luxury that the most exacting bird could ask for, but whence it could not escape. . Here the French pigeon lived, ap parently happy enough, for four long years. ltut it did not forget its fatherland. One day a door of the great dove cote was left carelessly open. The French pigeon flew out. It was never seen again by its German hosts, but ten days later it was beating its wings against the doors of its old cote in the Boulevard de Cliehy, Paris. It was recognized by its old keeper, and re ceived the weloome due to a patriot returned from a long captivity. ADELAIDE AND THE DUDES. A Youthful MUs Teaohes a Lesson to Would-Be Mothers. Adelaide was to make a little rail road trip by herself, and as she was still in her teens and had never been away from home alone, her parents felt some natural anxiety as to her ability to take care of herself. An old friend happened along at the sta tion, however, and as he was going the same route he was privately in structed to please keep an eye on Adelaide, but without allowing that high-spirited maiden to know of his surveillance. Not far out he observed that two glittering dudes had singled out pretty Adelaide as a fit target for special attention. They sat just be hind her and angled in every possible manner to gain her favorable notice; but dainty Adelaide held her head high and her slender nose at a scorn ful tilt. Finally one of the dudes leaned for ward and deposited two visiting cards on the window ledge at the girl’s elbow. Her eyes did not even deign to rest on them. Presently at the eall of a way station the ehappies left the train and stood on the platform easting languishing glances in at Adelaide. Then she aroused from her statuesque repose, opened the window and with a scientific effort of her haughty finger tips flipped the cards in the faces of the astonished dudes. BOTH “AT HOME.’* A Scoteh Prottuor Quaintly Ant wen a Society Invitation. A story has been current among the students In Aberdeen which showed that, up to a comparatively recent date, ancient prejudices were retained by the old Sootoh professors. It re* lated to the late Principal Pirie, who had a weakness for the refinements of life. Just after “at home" cards became fashionable one of the dryest speci mens of the old professional regime jpas surprised to receive a missive, which read as follows: “Principal and Mrs. Pirie present their compliments to Professor T and hope he is well. Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be (at home* on Thursday evening1 at 8 o'clock." This was something which evi dently required an answer, but the recipient of it was quite equal to the occasion. He wrote; “Professor T-returns the com pliments of Principal and Mra Pirie, and informs them that he is very well. Professor T-is glad to hear that Principal and Mrs. Pirie will be at home on Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. Professor T-will also be at home.” Egg-Shells. The employment of egg-shells for ornamental purposes is extremely an cient. A manuscript in the Harle ian collection represents a number of igg shells ornamented in the most ■ sle* gant and costly manner. Miniatn res were often painted upon egg-shedls with extreme care, and shells thus curiously decorated became valuab le and highly-esteemed presents. In Venice young noblemen frequently lavished large sums of money upo n portraits painted within egg shells intended as presents. * Blood-tucking Earthworm. South Africa is the home of a species of earthworm, a creature closely re lated to our common angleworm, who is not only a giant among the deni sens of the soil, but which is reputed ] to have a taste for human blood. I There are two species of this uncanny < wlggler, one of a dark red color and j the other almost black. They are | larger than one's finger and from | three to four feet in length. - j The Largest Barrel.

An Important Factor In the Battening of Death. “Of the whole number of persons supposed to die of disease," said a prominent physician the other day, “I should say that at least fifty per cent are really carried away by fear. Were it not for this element mor tality would be far less than it is.” In support of this statement he cited various cases where the element of fear had entered largely in as a potent factor to persuade people that their time.had come. Presentiments, prophecies, premonitions, and general nervousness all played their part On the other hand, a short time ago a patient of a city hospital was fright ened into getting well. This man was brought in an ambulance, sup posedly dying from heart failure. He was laid on the table and a diagnosis showed him to be suffering from hysteria. The surgeon turned to one of his assistants and, asking for a knife, remarked' that he would cut down to the heart and find out what the trouble was. The patient gave a yell, and leaping from the table started for the door. Remon strance was in vain. That man was cured and never came back. Some years ago four criminals, con demned in Russia to die, were taken to a house and shown several beds, in which they wore told a number of cholera patients had died. As a matter of fact, the beds were new, never having been slept in. The criminals were informed that they would be set at liberty if they would undergo the ordeal of sleeping several nights in the beds. Prom the prison ers' point, of view it was a possi ble, though desperate, chance of es cape. They, one and all, decided to take the chances. At the end of the time prescribed two were uninjured and went free, but the others devel oped all the symptoms and died of Asiatic cholera. WHITE HOUSE TOO SMALL. Presidential Mansion Ridiculously load equate to the Demand! of To-day. Mrs. Harrison felt not only the in convenience to herself during her residence at the White house, but was impressed with the disgrace to the nation of so poor a house for its chief executive. The matter oceu pied much of her time and thought, and the plan as developed by her seems to possess many points of ad vantage over every other that has been suggested. Mrs. Harrison’s idea was to build wings on either side of the present structure of equal size and similar design. These wings were to be at right angles with the old house and parallel with each other, connected on the south side by a conservatory, the four walls inelos mg a large interior court. The chief and really only objec tion to this plan is that it might alter present lines of the White house, or by increasing its size de tract from its beauty. These ob jections seem to have been noted and overcome by the architect who sketched the plans under Mrs. Har rison’s instructions. The wings classic in design as the original build ing, are connected with it by a grace ful colonnade of Ionic pillars, and en hance rather than diminish its-archi tectural value. The interior arrange ments are excellent, and could not be improved upon. The present build ing is retained as the president’s residence. The west wing is devoted to official needs and the east wing is planned for a national gallery of art The details have been carefully thought out and show a woman’s fine judgment Various other plans have been suggested, but none as original and comprehensive as the one origin ated by Mrs. Harrison. Count da Lwupi, The late Count de Lesseps never seemed to lose sight of the education of his children, even in the smallest detail. One morning at breakfast a beautiful Dresden tea-cup was bro ken. “Ah!” cried the countess, “a disaster! Two more of that set will now be broken. It always happens so.” “Are you so superstitious,” asked the count, “as really to believe that two more will be broken?” “I know it.” “Then let us get it off our minds.” And, taking two of the cups by the handles, he dashed them together. The anger and difsmay of the countess proved conclus ively that she had not seriously held to her superstition. It also loosed any hold the absurd idea may have had on the minds of the chil dren. 4n Informal Occasion. A fastidious parson once officiated in a region where a kiss to the bride was considered an indispensable part of the wedding ritual; but the looks of one newly made bride pleased him so little that he observed: “At this point in the ceremony it is customary for the clergyman to kiss the bride, but in the present case we will omit that formality.” The justly indignant bridegroom waited for hit revenge, which he got a few minutes later with: “At this point of the ceremony it is customary to hand a sealed envelope to the clergyman, but in the present ease we will omit that formality." Kot Enough and Too Muoh. The following exchange of tele- 1 grams between a Washington corre spondent and his home office Bhows what one managing editor thinks of ! congress The managing editor led off and the correspondent followed in this wise: “We will have lots of space to-morrow. What can you send to fill up?” “How would an account of what congress is going to do suit you?” “Not enough. That story can be put in a paragraph.” “Well, how about an account of what congress is FIDELITY OF A NEGRO. Tha Old Han Vu Ever Faithful to ••Har> Tom” of HI* Tooth. “I saw a pathetic instance at Greensboro of a negro’s fidelity,” said W. L. Williams, a traveling man. “About ten miles from the town I saw a grave with a marked slab at the head. Seated near it was an old negro with a bunch of flowers, which he was placing on the mound. I stopped my horse and spoke to the darkey. “ ‘Whose grave is that, uncle?’ I asked. “ ‘Mars Tom’s, boss. I’m his nigga.’ “ ‘Oli, no; you are no man’s nigger now. Didn’t you ever know you were free?’ “ ‘Dunno nuffin’ ’bout dat, sah. 1’se Mars Tom’s nigga, sah, an' he’s wait in’ foil me Buah up dab. Dese han's done tote him frum dat place dey call Shiloh, an’ he died while I wah a-totin’ 'itn; jest closed he eyes an’ went to- sleep, an' when I comes ter cross de ribber ob Johdan he jest hoi’ out his ban’s an’ tells de angel at de gate who I be an’ he let me in. I dreamed ’bout it las’ night, boss.’ “I was interested in the old fellow and wanted to hear his story. The slab at the grave told me it was that of ‘Col. Tom Winn, killed at the battle of Shiloh,’ and I questioned the faithful negro further: “ ‘Were j'ou with him when he was killed?’ “ ‘I was right dar, boss. Done pick ’m up an' toted ’m to dat place dey call Corinth; den I foun’ a train, got to de place dey call Chattanooga; de nex’ day we wah in Atlanta. Mars Tom den in glory. Dis heah nigga lef’ to ten’ his body. Dey buried ’im when I got ’im heah, an’ dis nigga jest lef’ to ten’ his grave an’ keep de flowers hyah.’ “I found upon inquiry that the story was true, and for a quarter of a cen tury the faithful negro has done noth ing but attend the grave of his young master, whose body he brought from Northern Mississippi to Central Georgia.” AMERICA A RAILROAD SCHOOL. Haaslan Official* Coming to Get Point* tor the Siberian Kailroatl. Among the arrivals in San Francisco on the steamer Pekin from the Orient recently were two officials of the trans-Siberian railway, whq have come to America to study the rail way and ferry systems of the country. G. Adadvoran, one of the party, is chief engineer of the big Siberian railway, and P. Sokolou, who ac companies him, is the vice president of the board of directors. They have a letter of introduction from Secre tary Gresham to the presidents of all the large railroads in the country, and they will travel in search of in formation which they expect will prove valuable in the operation of the Siberian road. They are more interested in ferries than in rail roads, however, for the establish ment of a line of ferry steamers on the Amoor river is contemplated, and the visitofs say they want the ad vantage of the experience of Ameri cans in such matters. “One of the most interesting feat ures of the government railroad across Siberia to Vladivostok,” said Mr. Sokolou, “will be the ferry sys tem on the Amoor river. We expect to operate the steamers throughout the winter with the aid of some con trivance to be placed on the boats to break the ice. Our ideas on that mat ter are not perfected. We are now studying it ” The two officials expect to visit the locomotive works in the Eastern states with a view, possibly, of adopt ing the American locomotive for use on the Siberian railway. They ex pect to adopt many American ideas. Mr. Langarda, a photographer, and secretary to the two officials, is with the party. Hard to Please. Ricker, at stamp window, summer of 1893—It’s a darned shame to try to work oft the big, ugly Columbian stampseon the people! It takes two men and a boy to lick one of ’em, and they’re no good, anj how. Take these back and give me some red ones. Same Kicker, at stamp window a year and a half later—No Columbian stamps at all? Yon ought to have put a lot of them away when the government quit printing them. You might have known there would be a demand for them from fellows that want them for relics and forgot to save any themselves. They were the best-looking stamps that were ever turned out, anyhow. You haven’t got any at all? It's a darned shame! jno uau udowi »ny ic 11 so. Curiously enough the right hand, which is more sensitive to touch than the left, is less sensitive to tempera ture. If the two hands be dipped in two basins of water at the same tem perature, the left hand will feel the greater sensation of warmth: nay, it will do this even when the thermom eters show that the water in the left basin is really somewhat colder than in the right basin. With left-handed persons the reverse would be found. A Story- ' rlter's avenge.
