Thk activity in church work among all the denominations in town is an encouraging sign to all who engttge in the work of the Master. It in to be hoped the Instating; tour of Council and tlie Board of Health to-daywill result in further improvements to the highway and by-ways of town and to its sanitary condition. Somk of the Itapttat preRflliers at Pittnlntrg, appear to have been dis poned to "look a gift horse in the mouth" when the question of accept ing John D. Rockefeller's donation of $250,000 to the mission fund came up McAdoo's JSorough Council are considering Ult advisability of mak ing offenders against borough ordin ances who are unable or unwilling to pay the flnea prescribed, Work out the amount on the streets. If it is lejrul this would be a good way. TilK proposition to utilize Mr. Bryan as a campaign orator in sun dry states and eitlos in the approach ing campaign is u good one. Mr. Bryan visited 88 statesjas a campaign orator during the recent ' presidential campaign, and succeeded in carrying hi of them, five of those six having from tiim immemorial been Demo cratic states. In all the large cities visited by him the Republican vote was enormous, and nearly every one of them was carried by the Iteimbll cans. In 85 large cities of the United States, which in 1892 gave 1G'3 thou sand Democratic plurality, the Re publican plurality in 1890 was 404 thousand, and most of those were visited by Mr. Bryan during the cam paign. Tiik contract for removing the ruing of the burned capital at IlarriBburg, cleaning tho brick aud stone, and pil ing them tip, and preparing the site for the beginning of work on the new building, was awarded to tho lowest and bet bidder, on AVednosday There were sixteen bidders for thin work, and the bids ranged all the way from $23,810 down to $3,090. The low est umuor lulled to give a proper bond and the contract whs awarded to the next lowest, a Philadelphia party, whose bid was $4,7.10. Evi dently some of the bidders expected to have a good tiling of it, or tho suc "cesxful bidder has a very poor one. It is noticeable that nil the highest bidders ar Harrisburg parties. They have been used to big pay for work dune for the state. Ykaii by year tho number of soldiers in the ranks of those paying tribute to the nation's defenders on each suc ceeding Memorial IJajr grows less, and the number of ttideo who' have gone to join the silent majority increases, and the time is not far distant when this duty of love and afl'ection will pass entirely to the hands of the des cendants of those who risked their lives to keep intact the glorious heri tage bequeathed us by our fathers. The outpouring of citizens upon this occasion leaves little room to doubt that the beautiful custom will bo con tinued, and it is indeed a pleasing indication thatthe presentgenoration is Imbued with reverence for tho patriotism of their slre, and would, should occasion arise for their ser vices to defend their country's rights or honor, respond as quickly and patriotically as did the heroes of 1801 whose memory we honor to-day. Let cynics sneer and misanthropes bewail the deetulenee of the present as they may, so long as Memorial Day is honored throughout the length aud breadth of the land it is an tin answerable refutation of their con tention that patriotism is lacking in this very practical age. It has be come the fashion among many to de ride tha effusive expression of love for tlie old Hag which characterized the outbursts of orators of a few gen erations ago when "spread-eagleism' ' pervaded every oration and boast of our prowess were made, which, com ing from a nation of 80 or 8fl millions, seem to us now, a nation of seventy odd millions, somewhat vainglorious, but tlie same love for the emblem of our country still burns iu the hearts of our people to-day, even though it is not given expression in the flowery lan iiige of those who lived nearer the time of the nation's birth and duriug , the trials which beset it in the early part of its career among tlie nation's of the world. To-day upon a thousand hillsides the deeds of those who fought for the integrity of the nation will be re-told to listen ing millions who gather to pay their tribute of love and affection, and we believe the olose of the twentieth century will gee tlie same beautiful custom repeated with even more veneration than is bestowed upon it to day.

Ho Is quite likely to have two patients orltlonlly ill, half a dozen miles apart and eaoh living a like distance from tho doctor's own home. Knsily It will be seen that paying dally calls nnd keeping posted with slok persons scattered about like that beconio nlniost nil impossibility. These conditions confronted Dr. Charles ti. Lung of Merldcn, N. Y., for many a long year, aud he cudgeled his brain to gomo purposo in finding a way to help him self The homing plgesn solved the prob lem. He has a regular pigeon eervlco be tween his patient and himself. Tho doctor has found tlmo to keep upon medical topics, tnko good onro of his putlonts nnd cultivate pigeons, nil thrco very sucessfully. There is nothing difficult about It nfter nil. In the first place, tho doctor sends to eaoh patient about whoso condition ho wishes to be posted ono or moro of tho carrier pigoons. Somo member of tho family has blanks which must bo flllod In with dotolled records of time, pulso, tem perature and respiration. A blank filled, it Is Inclosed In nn nlumlnlum capsule made to olasp on tho pigeon's leg. This dono, tho bird is released and nt once speeds away to tho homo of tho waiting physician, at the rate of a mile a minute. In this way Dr. Lang is onablod to keep thoroughly in touob with his patients at n distance, with about ono-flfth the amount of travel he would have to endure under other circumstances. Not only that, but ho Is really much better posted, because It would often happen that ho would bo un able to 1'iiy visits to all, and so perhaps would miss secingnslck person nt just tho time when ho wns most needed. Now ho cnu go nwny from homo to visit pntlonts nnd feel sure that when he returns reports will benwaltinghim from others. Should these reports tell him that a call from him is nn absolute necessity, then ho goos nnd that Is nil there Is of It. "It Is tho best," says Dr. Lang, "whon establishing n loft of theso feathered mes sengers, to begin with n few pairs of brood ers, which should bo kept confined to tho loft, with nn outside covered aviary If pos sible, to givo them access to tho ground. The plogenns, If allowed their liberty, nro apt to lly nwny, no matter how long thoy have been in prison. Do not try to train tho birds until thcy.nro 4 months old.
