Letters for America.

The author Of European Reminis

letter for America in the postoffice al
Naples, and found great difficulty in
having 1t registered.
Finally, when that operation was
completed, the official suddenly ex-
claimed:

What do you meant" asked the
traveller.
Registered letters must have five
seals in order to secure their safe
transportation" was the reply Then
the Italian added with a sudden
thought: "Scusate, signorl | see

South America and Africa are al

Kangaroos for This Country.

Some far western and southwestern
newspapers are seriously discussing
the desirability and possibility of in,
Producing the kangaroo into those
regions. Much is urged as to its util-
ity' because of its economic value in
'hesh, fur and footwear" and some
little about the novel sport it would
anord, taking in this particular the
place OF the defunct buffalo. II is
said the kangaroo would do well in
regions altogether unfit for other
stock Some say it would be more
profitable to raise kangaroos than
steers. Mr.. Robert c. Aud appears
TO have been first to suggest the
scheme. Ostriches, he says, are a
big success in California, and he
thinks kangaroos would be more
widely profitable. - Exchange.
