'CARRIER PIGEON
A BIRD OF WAR
HOLDS A PROMINENT PLACE IN
PRESENT CONFLICT.
When Wireless Apparatus and Tele-
phones Become Useless, Pigeon
Service is Effectual.
When the wireless telegraph was
invented everybody supposed that the
day of the carrier pigeons he'd pass-
ed. Up to that time pigeons had had
a prominent place in war as well as
in peace. If it had not been for pige-
ons the beleaguered citizens of Paris
would have been unable to communi-
cate with the outside world during
the long siege to which that city was
subjected. When steamships first
began to ply the ocean, carrier pige-
one were released when the vessels
were a few hundred miles from land,
and quickly brought home advance
information for the use of public offi-
cials and business men, as well as
supplying news to the people,
It is a fortunate thing that the car-
rier pigeon did not become extinct af-
ter it had been supplanted isy the
Marconi invention, for the present
war has demonstrated that pigeons
can be depended upon when the wire-
less fails. Armies which long ago
disbanded their pigeon service are

available birds that can be found.
Belgium's National Sport.
As it happened, the raising of pig-
eons is the national sport of Belgium.
It corresponds to baseball in America.
There are many associations of racing
pigeon keepers in England, too, and
some in France. It is generally ad-
mitted that the Belgians and the Eng-
lish breed the best birds, and most of
the successful fanciers of this coun-
try owned stock which came from
British or Belgian strains.
The Germans have not been promi-
nent in the breeding of racing pige-
ons, but when the war broke out they
realized the value of the birds which
the Belgians possessed. Among their
first ordees as they passed through
the ravaged territory of the Belgians
was that all pigeons and firearms
should immediately he delivered up.
Of course the intrepid Belgian people
did not obey this order if they could
avoid doing so. Hundreds of pigeons
were concealed, only to be liberated
from time to time when occasion of-
fered. They revealed to the English
and French the truth about affairs in
Belgium when the Germans were- giv-
ing out wholly misleading informa-
tion.
With the Belgian, French and Eng-
lish stock to draw upon a veritable
pigeon army has been queetered back
of the fighting lines, The birds are
housed in portable lofts, the roofs of
which are painted in bright colors
which can be seen a long distance. It
has been found that the pigeons will
,find their way back to these lofts even
though the latter are moved a ,dis-
tance of forty or fifty miles.
Valuable to Aviator.
When an aviator scout flies over the
enemies' lines seeking information he
carries with hint a number of pigeons
which are released one by one. Be-
fore each pigeon flies away, however,
a short message is written on a piece
of rice paper and the paper attach-
ed to the bird's leg by means of a rub-
ber band, It is the common practice
to use a little aluminium case to hold.
the message, but the French fliers
have found that, the message is car-
ried 'just as safely under a rubber
band, and this simple plan is being
generally adopted. The use of pige-
ons makes it unnecessary for the flier
to return for several hours,
Pigeons are 'deo being used to
carry information from ships at sea friend and lie is rarely without sev-
to the hind. It is in carrying reports eral close at hand, many of the men
from the front to the rear of thecarrying them constantly when in the
trenches, to be ready for any emer-
gettoy. Care must be taken to pre-
vent the firing pin from falling out,
for once this is pulled from its socket

object to hit, however, and most of
them escape. Formerly there was
considerable loss from the gas which
the Germans occasionally sent float-
ing over the trenches. Now, however,
a cage with a special gas protector
has been invented so that the pigeons
are saved from this untimely death.
Although called carrier pigeons
abroad, the bird used by the army is
not the carrier as known in this coun-
try. Our carriers are bred solely for
exhibition purposes and can fly only a
short distance. The message carry-
ing birds are really homing pigeons
similar to the homers used for squab
breeding, but trained for4flying. This
training must begin 'when the birds
are only five or six weeks old. First
of all it is necessary to get them
"settled" to the loft which they are
to occupy, That is, they must become
accustomed to returning there. What-
ever loft they are settled in will re-
main home to them.
Thera is no reason why any farm-
er's boy should not breed homing pige-
ons successfully. Probably the in-
terest in homers will continue to
grow so that birds will be in demand
for many years. Perhaps the raising
of pigeons will,come to be ail common
a sport in this country as it forelarly
was across the sea.

PROFIT IN PINE TREES.
Forestry is Taught in this Public
Schools of Norway.
Twenty-one per cent. of the'I?:ing-
dotn of Norway is covered with forest
—that is, shout 17 million acres, Of
that, about 15 million acres is pro-
ductive forest, The Government owns
about two million acres. The commer-
cial foreste under Government super-
vision comprise about one million
acres, says the Oanadian Forestry
Journal, The rest, or about 12 mil-
lion scree of productive forest, is'pri-
vate property. Seventy-five per cent,
of the Healler is spruce (picea exsel-
sa), and pipe ,(pinus silvestric) in
µbout equal quantities, aa well as
some oak, ash, elm and basswood,
Birch is found everywhere. The an-
nual forest growth or increment .per
sere is about 21 cubic feet, Nearly
all the cut timber is hauled on sleighs
to the river in the winter and floated
to the coast in the spring. The fell-
ing is now nearly all done by piece
work, which has proved to be a great
success.
The value of forest products ex-
ported is about $30,000,000 annually.
Until recently the export consisted
chiefly of logs and staves, but pulp,
planks, boards, doors and' windows,
ets:`; have now come into promin-
ence. The pulp represents about 60
per cent,.of the export value.
The people have awakened to the
importance of improved and con-
servative methods, and planting in'
the coast districts has also been en-
couraged. Most of it is done by
school children. Douglas fir im-
ported as seed from the Pacific coast
arid raised in nurseries, is being
planted quite extensively in some
parts of Norway. Forestry is taught
in all Public Schools and instructors
give lectures in the country districts.

THE FIFTY-YEAR AGE LIMIT.
Effect of Raising Military Service Age
In Great Britain.
Speaking of the probable yield of
the raising of the age limit in Great
Britain, an old Guardsmen, who had
theadvantage of studying two gener-
ations of London "soniety," made the
rather startling remark that men of
fifty newadays were equal to men of
forty a generation ago. He held that
it was the case with soldiers, says a
London correspondent.
An "old soldier" in his young days
was a man of thirty-five, and the
term really meant an enderly soldier.
He usually was heavy, fat cheeked
and potbellied. The Guards officer of
the period when not on duty really did
breakfast at eleven, as "Ouida" said.
Nobody took care of himself. Every-
one kept late hours and drank and ate
too much. Nearly all the clubs went
on till three in the morning. At the
Turf Club, for instance, people used
to sit down to cards after the opera,
and at country houses men did not
turn in usually till after two. •
The lean of forty of the same class
to-day—he was speaking of the Par-
ish of St. James—maintains his men-
tal alertness and keeps his figure till
late in life. In the present century,
when health culture and exercises. be-
came common and tippling became
bad form, and everyone took up some
occupation, the whole appearance of
the West End changed.

fighting line, however, that they are
most valuyable. Wireless apparatus is
often didmantled in the course of a
battle. Then recourse is had entire-
ly to the pigeon service, which aol-
dom,fails, It has been estimated that
ninety-seven per cent. of all meas -
ages sent are delivered.

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
IS SKIN WHITENER.
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
for a few cents.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon akin beautifier at about the cost
one must pay for a' small jar of the
ordinary cola creams. Care should be
taken to strain the lemon juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gots in, then this lotion will ]seep
fresh for months. . Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra-
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. -
Cincinnati man tells how to dry

You corn -pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or cullus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a shall bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
It is quite proper to wipe up your
