‘USING CARRIER PIGEONS.
l-lOW A WALL STREET BROKER KEEPS
POSTED; ON FLUCTUATIONS.
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 inipossiblev‘fo'r a. busy stock
"broker. Do you have a private wire to Wall
street?” Having been often asked the same
questionsbefore I held my peace- Ina little
while we went out of doors to look at the live
stock. . I had 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 read the writing which is crowded on its
surface. Then, turning to my friend:
“ fices have not changed since morning,
and y manager says that the market is very
dull. That slip has just been one hour in com-
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.
FAILURES AT FIRST.
About five years ago I bought my farm,
Chetolah, 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 stntion, 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 chargeof 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
thae 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 aloft 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 cousorting
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. Woerishoifer,
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.
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 Vvere separated from
the weak and uncertain ones. 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
Eriai >Mcsscnger 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,
slunmer 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 jetted 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, overJersey
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 ofi'er a temptation to stop
and rest awhile before starting on the jour-
ney. But this, with the older and well
trained birds, is rare.
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-
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
ihoming pigeon can be made a useful adjunct
to busmess.—A1fred de Cordova in Brooklyn

The English Re‘d' ‘Coats'. _
When, in 1851, the Duke of wellington
asked Lord Stanhope, then-war. ~minister; as _
to when the English army first wOré red, he
was told that the custom dated from the time
of Charles II. The duke thought it was
earlier, and Lord Macaulay said that he was
right, and that 'the commonwealth army
wore red. This wasfhowever, not exactly
the case, and the statement waswrong in
more than one respect. Maj. Hon. Harold
‘ Dillon. in an article in COlburn’s United Ser-
Ir’vice \Magazine. shows when this color was
' first adopted. ‘
As early as the campaign in Spain, in 1367,
in support of Peter the Cruel,‘aud also in the
following reign of Richard II, the English
soldier appears to have been in white with a
red cross of St. George on his breast and
back. At Agincourt, in 1415, the English
archers are mentioned as mostly wearing no
armor and some only doublets, and with their
hose loose, evidently to give them greater
freedom Of actiOn. Caps of boiled leather and
of wicker work crossed with bands of iron
constituted their best head pieces. It was
only after a long campaign, or series of cam-
paigns, that the ordinary soldier could pro~
vide himself with portions of defensive armor.
During the Wars of the Roses the badges“
of the respective leaders would be the chief
distinctions in the armies, all speaking one
tongue and being of one race. However, in
1461, there is evidence of red being adopted,
fora. small number of men at least, when a
contingent for the army of the king maker,
the Earl of 'Warwick, was sent from Rye
dressed in red coats. In 1470 a detachment
of fifteen men sent from Canterbury for the
Calais garrison, and others for London, were
supplied with red “jakettls”.of cloth at three
shillings a yard, having on them “roses ‘of
white karscy” as badges. Henry VII, in
1485, instituted the Yeomen of the Guard as
a kind Of body guard, and thcymay be taken
as the nucleus of the present standing army
of England. They consisted of picked men,
and were armed one-half with hows, the
other half with hand guns. Their dress, as
it still continues, was red—Montreal Star.
The Way‘tii's‘liarpén n Pencil.
“It really makes me tired tosee the average
man sharpen a pencil,” said an old newspaper
man in a stationary store yesterday. “He
will cut his fingers, cover them with dirt and
blacken them with lead dust, and still will not
sharpen the pencil.
“There is but one way to sharpen a lead
pencil, and that is to grasp it firml y with the
point from you and not toward you. Take
your knife in the other hand and Whittle
away as though you had lots of pencils to
waste. By following these directions and.
turning the pencil over you will soon have
it neatly and regularly sharpened, and your
fingers will be unsoiled and you will not need
any court plaster to put on the wounds, be-
cause you cannot cut your fingers when whit-
tling from them. .
“This method is the best, whether the knife
is dull or sharp. If the pencil is a Soft one,
there is no sense in sharpening the lead.
Simply cut away the wood, and in writing
turn the pencil over, thus writing with the
sides of the lead.
“Another disgusting and senselem habit is
in placing the pencil in the mouth when writ-
ing. This is a relic of the days when pencils
were all as hard as flint and before the manu-
facturers were able to produce the smooth,
soft pencils that are used today. This con-
tinual dampening of the lead will harden
even a good graphite pencil and make it hard
and gritty. It is simply a habit anyway,
and most habits are bad ones. ”—Philadelphia
Times.
