Medal for Pigeon. The conferring of a war medal by the British government upon a hom- ing pigeon not only is a pleasant bit of sentiment but calls new attention. to the services that homing pigeons have rendered to mankind, in peace as well as In war. The incident recalls the interesting fact that homing pig°. ons were the foundation of two great fortunes. Before the days of the tele- graph Baron ,Rothchild used great numbers of pigeons to bring the earl- iest information of the stock market and exchange in London to his Paris banking house; and Paul de Reuter, the founder .of the great European news agency that corresponds to the Associated Press in America, used carrier pigeons as his first messengers. • r Minard's Liniment Heals Cuts.
