PUSs IN THE POST OFFICE.

The COnsiderab bic Sum of Money Eng
land Provides for Its Cnts' Support.
From the Lon;lo, Animals Friend.
1t may not be generally known that a
considerable sum of money for cats meat
appears annually as an item in the post
office estimates. This meat goes to tie
support Of whole colony of cats at ST.
Martin 's-le-Grand. How they first came
there no one seems to know. but the
general impression is that their ances ,ors
belonged to the private offices which were
demolished when the present G. Q. p. was
built and that they became "strays'' about
the ruins until the rising walls gradually
shut them in, and thus provided them with
a home.
The cats are invariably treated with great
kindness by the postal staff. kittens are
born in all scrtS of odd corners, even oc-
casionaliy under desk table in the sort-
ing office. One cat has successfully reared
during the present year a family of six in
the registered letter department. but this of
course is exceptional. They are generally
born in the kitchens, there are plenty of
old WORKOUT coats about. which make a
comfortable bed. AS soon as they are old
enough some one requiring a cat takes one
home to the domestic hearth. There Is
often a keen struggle for their possession,
and a man will feed both mother and kit
ten on milk and watch them with anxious
eye, only to find in the end that he is day
too late, some one having forestalled him

served. He also reported that ne had col

year. The road committee reported that it
had practically finished all the work that
had heretofore been ordered by the board.
In view of the scarcity of available funds
the road committee was directed to spend no
more money, do no further work, nor incur
any more liabilities for town improvements
