Kkv Wi sr. Fla., May 12. The estab
lishment of a pigeon messenger service
in connection with the signal office at
Key West is a foregone conclusion since
tin- order has been promulgated by Gen
eral Creely, who has the matter in charge,
for n-cessary lights and fixtures. The
first purpose of this service is to briny;
adjacent islands, especially the Bahamas,
into communication wilt Key West and
by cable with the main land. Those
familiar with the use of pigeons a3 mes
sengers believe the scheme will be a sue
cess, the only drawback being the liabili
ty of loss of birds in sudden stormes on
the ocean.

EXAMINING TEA.
WHAT A CUSTOM HOUSE OFFICIAL
SAYS ABOUT THE WORK.
lite l'ual Method Pursued lu Sinking
lb 'C'uiumerciHl Test" Adultrratluu
of Ten In tlt Producing; Couutrien.
Th Testing Not Injurious.
"In examining tea," said Mr. A. Judsoii
Pierson, tho examiner of tea for the port of
New York, "wo seldom resort to the chemi
cal Analysis. The usual method is what is
known as the 'commercial test,' which con
sists of pouring a given quantity of boiling
water upon a given quantity of the leaves of
the tea; the character anil quality of tho ten
la then iletc-rminivl by the oior uml flavor of
the infusion, appearance of the leaves, e.
Ouestions of the presence of spurious eul
Btanee, exhausted leaves, etc. , are determined
by chemical analysis, a valuable aid to the
examiner."
"Is tea tasting or testing injuriousf"
"Not necessarily ho. Tho 'exjiert,' if pos
sessed of a ci itieal taste and healthy olfac
tories, will determine qualities without pro
longed tnsting or smelling; an excessive in
dulgence in this reflect doubtless would and
sometimes does affect tha nervous system, it
may be seriousl'."
"Does not constant tasting of tea cause a
general dislike for the lwveragef'
"It naturally creates a disgust for poor
siuff called tea, but not entitled to tho name,
of which we get, under the present 'tea law,
entirely too much; and at the same time it
cultivates a taste for the better qualities, of
which the average tea consumer knows too
little."
"Does it not result in a fondness for strong
tea?"
"Very likely, as both quality anil strength
are essential elements composing a good cup
of tea. Many a good housewife fails in se
curing a good cup of tea by not putting
enough in the jiot."
ADULTERATION OF TEA.
"How do they adulterate tea in the pro
ducing countries?"
"Wo have no accurate knowledge upon
which to base an intelligent reply. The al
leged methods are various, but sufficiently
well authenticated to repeat."
"Do they not pack a mixture of good and
bad teas in the same chest?"
"Wide variations in the quality of leaves
found in the same 'chest' or 'chop' aro often
observed. This may be the result either of
accident r design. It may and doubtless
does occur by plucking tho earlier leaves
with those that are matured, neglecting to
assort properly tho different qualities per
haps intending to increase the bulk at tho
expense of the quality."
"How much tea is confiscated T'
"During my service only one instance of
confiscation has occurred, which consisted of
a few packages damaged by salt water and
unlit for use."
"Why do you not draw samples yourself "
"Iu exceptional cases I do. This duty,
however, is assigned to the 'sampler' specifi
cally selected for the purpose."
"How much tea is rejected each yeari"
"During my term of service about three
years the total rejections are about 23,000
packages, or say about 1,250,000 pounds.
About half of these were subsequently ad
mitted upon re-examination by arbitration
committees, as provided by 'the act.' "
"Do 3"ou swallow the tea in the process of
examination P
"Very rarely, and then in very small quan
tities." "How do you know that importers do not
adulterate after their consignment Las been
released by you or the customs officials"
"Oluoially wo have no knowledge. Pre
sumably, however, the importer sells his im
iortations in the original juiekages; and
adulterations or admixtures which do or may
occur would be traceable, if at all, to the re
tailer, or one who breaks up tho original
package."
"What do you do with the samples?"
"After the examination of the samples ia
completed they are held subject to the order
of the importers, and if not called for within
a reasonable period are turned over to the
custody of the collector, and are sold at pub
lic auction for the benefit of the government.
The average weight of each sample does not
exceed three ounces, a portion of which is
consumed in the examination." New York
Mail and Express.
KrfiiUfat of the Cowboys.
In the morning, the cook is preparing
breakfast long before the first glimmer
of dawn. As soon as it is ready, proba
bly about o o'clock, he utters a long
drawn shout, and all the sleepers feel it is
time to be up on the instant, fir they know
there can be no such thing as delay on the
round up. under penalty of being set afoot.
Accordingly, thoy bundle out, rubbing their
eyes and yawning, draw on their Iwiots and
trousers if they have taken the latter off
roll up and cord their bedding, and usually
without any attempt at washing crowd over
to the little smoldering tire, which is placed
in a' hole dug in tho ground, so that there
may be no risk of its spreading. The men
are rarely very hungry at breakfast, and it is
a meal that has to be eaten in shortest order,
so it is perhaps the least important.
Each man, as he comes up, grasps a tin cup
and plato from the mess box, pours out his
tea or coffee, with sugar, but of course no
milk, helps himself to one or two of the bis
cuits that have been baked in a Dutch oven,
and perhaps also to a slice of tho fat pork
swimming in the grease of the frying pau,
ladles himself out some beans, if there ary
any, and squats down on the ground to ea
his breakfast. The meal is not an elaborate
one; nevertheless the man will Lave to huriy
if he wishes to eat jt before hearing the fore
man sing out, "Come, boys, catch your
horses," when he must drop everything and
run out to tl:e wagon with his lariat. Theo

Solitary Confinement.
This solitary confinement is a relic of a
barbarous age. The history of the middle
ages is full of cases where men have passed
years, in some instances almost a lifetime,
walking back and forth in a lonely cell
which, perhaps, may have been for a portion
of tho tiuie a dungeon. 4-U are familiar
with the story of the prisoner confined in th
Castle of Chilion, in SwiUerland, who
chained to a pillar walked to and fro as far
as bis chain would permit, and wore a deep
furrow in the stono under his feet. The
prisouer is gone, but tha tourist may today
visit the old prison by the side of the placid
Lake Leman and see this furrow, and ponder
on the story of human suffering that it tells.
Jn America much of the rigor of imprison
ment hai betn alleviated by thp fntrcductiog
of contract labor. "tniprisi:ie4 it hard
labor" may seem to imply a melancholy lot,
but compared with solitary confinement,
with nothing to occupy the prisoner's atten
tion, or his muscles, hard labor means an
existence far preferable. America is doubt
IbSj ;n the advance ia this reform. The moet
tliinkiirr European nations come next, while
flussia still linger in the twilight of bar
tarisxa. -ExchsJiga. .
WOOD BUFFALO r.i THl NORTH.

American bison of tho plains. They are

1 mention this jieeuliat ity of difference in the
horns bin-auso it is Ik iieved tliut tho fc'.i.:pe
and the broken and crooked nuturo of the
horns of tho prairie buffalo has been caused
by his habit of digging into the gravel,
whereas in tho more northern sjiecies they
had to contend wit h other conditions where
straight horns would bo of more use, as, for
instance, th-y use tlu-ni there for cleariug
nsido from their pathway tins brush and lux
uriant undergrowth.
Theso nuimais would weigh at lea:t 150

account for their superior size. In tii

large animals are. It is difficult to form an
accurate estimate of tho number of thesi
animals that may yet bo left. Hut perliap-.
investigation yet may show that five or si
hundred nifiy yet remain in scattered band.'.
Owing to tho fact that tho herse cannot b -used

Dr. (Scorgo Hay, a chemist, advances e
plan for the disposition of the dead bodii s o!
human beings. lie advocates an i-oonomii
distribution ot" tho remain:; so that they may
return to the elements as soon as possible, ii
for no other purpose, than to furnish a fertil
izer. Dr. Hay would pulverize the bodj,
with tho aid of machinery. lie says: "Th(
machines might tn to contrived as to bivak
the bones first in pieces of the size of a hen";
egg, next into fragments of the size of a
marble, and tho mangled and lacerated mass
could next be reduced by means of chopping
machines and steam power to mince meat.
At this stage, wo have a homogeneous mix
ture of tho entire boil' structures in the form
of a puljious mass of raw flesh and bones.
"This mass shall now be dried thoroughly
by means of steam heat at a temperature of
250 degs. Fahrenheit, or a pressure of thirty
pounds to tho inch; because, firstly, we wish
to reduce the material to a condition con
venient for handling, and, secondly, we
wish to disinfect it, as no infectious or con
tagious disease can retain its vitality at this
temperature. Once in this condition it would
command a good price for the purpose of
manure. Another method is by boiling in
close vessels. The oil, which would rise to
the top, may tie drawn off to be converted
into soap or a lubricant. The residue mav
by various simple processes bo converted
into fertilizing material." His final sugges
tion is the "instillation method." Tho bodies

XooAi.bs, A. T., May 11. The secre
tary ot war of Mexico, has notified the
military ofiteers stationed along the bor
der, that hereafter the rules regulating
the ileiiK-aiior of the military officials wi'l
be strictly enforced, and that the extreme
penalty, including a heavy fine, will be
meted out. As a punishment for conduct
unbecoming an officer for crossing over
into the United States with troops ami in
terfiling with the affairs of citizens of a
friendly nation th .' highest penalty, death,
will be imposed. This s-rp was taken
just after the inquiry into tie: cases of
Col. Arvizu and Lieut. Guitcrrts, who
crossed the line at this place and fired up
on tii-- Amcrie in civil office rs and r scued
i prisoner. These two officials were tried
by corn t-inartial at (Juaymas and sentenc
ed to be shot. They appealed to the Su
preme Military Court, which has just af
:i: nied the decision and sentence of the
M'.i! t-martial. President Diaz has, how
ver. commuted the sentence to twenty
year" h-pal labor in the military prison in
the stati.' of S-intiago.
