rem ainder for foreign service. For in
land mail the cost was an increase OF

travel in star service alone was over
12a. 600, 900 miles.
Tie report says that experiments
with horseless wagons to be tried this
wint.sr will, it is hoped, prove success
full, and they are expected to be much
less expensive than horse wagons.
only one tube-at Philadelphia-now
being in operation in the entire postal
service, the report says it expedites the
mail, makes closer connections both
ways and greatly reduces time, for
pra ctica1ly the same money. For es-
tablishing this service $50, 900 is asked
for and three tubes, one each in Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston are
expected to be contracted for. The
second assistant says at the large de-
pots small sub-post offices should be
established in charge of regular super
intendents with full post office privi-
leges except money orders and free de-
livery. Many applications have been
made for establishing mail service on
electric car lines, which cannot be al
lowed, owing to lack of funds.

history relates that the shed where this
stone was kept before being placed in
position in the monument was broken
into one night and the stone stolen. The
explanation was that this party did not
care to allow the pope to have any hand
stolen the stone. The theory was that
it had been thrown into the river, and,
although search was made, it was never
recovered.
The finding of the stone at the bottom
of the Potomac revived these stories, and
the city was greatly excited over the dis
covery. The story came out in the morn
ing papers, and by noon large crowds
were hocking to the river front to see
the stone. About II O'Clock a prominent
Catholic divine entered the newspaper Of
flee, and asked to see the reporter who
the reporter was out, and that the divers
would be the best ones to see about the
stone.
Then ensued a lively hurdle race across
the Potomac flats between the clergyman
and the reporter who had written the
story. The reporter had made no arrange
ments by which the divers were to swear
to his story, and it was necessary to see
them before the preacher arrived. They
were at work, and, as luck would have
it, had steadfastly sworn to all Corners
that the stone had been found just as
the papers had printed it. The reporter
fixed them up with a keg of beer, and
the stone was stored away in the shed
with the dynamite, and could not be dis
turbed.
Then the reporter wrote up another ar
ticle for the next days paper, in which
he related how the stone had been stolen
picion was directed against the Irish So
cetieS of the city.

Where did this box of cigars come
FROM" asked the writer the other day,
standing in the shop of large London
tobacconist.
That" said the tobacconist, " came
from the United States"
And this? Where did this come from?"
"Aso from the United States"
also this other?"
"Oh, that came from the United States
too. I'll tell you all about it. Suppose 1
had 2424 boxes of cigars in this shop and
that they were taken proportionately
from the imports from all the countries
that send us cigars; then 1,315 of these, or
considerably more than half, would have
come from the United States"
Then you mean to say that thirteen out
of every twenty-four cigars smoked in
London are American?" l asked.

"Of the remaining 1,OS5 boxes" he con-

sessions. Now there are only is more
boxes and they come from all quarters of

that, OF all foreign cigars, more than half

RATS TRIED TO EAT cows.

Port Jarvis, N. Y. March 1.-The cows
owned by J. R. butcher, a Sullivan
county farmer living one mile north of
Parksville, have been afflicted with what
appeared to be a peculiar form of dis
ease for several weeks past, the cause
of which has only Just been ascertained.
The cows grew thin and wan and the
hair disappeared in places and great sores
appeared. The sore grew larger each dav
until the blood trickled from them.
1t is now learned that the cause is rats
The rodents had become so starved that
they would attack the cows and eat right
into the flesh of the defenseless animals
who were fastened in their stalls bv
stanchions and could not protect them
selves. butcher has overcome the difn-

STRANGE TASTE OF ANIMALS.
Pet Dogs and Reliable Cows That Eat
Domestic Garments.
From Parsons Weekly

From Parsons Weekly
That animals, either in a domestic or
wild state will sometimes develop liking
for strange articles of food, causing much
dismay and trouble to their owners, and
some confusion in the minds of students
of natural history is indeed a well known
fact of everyday observation.
A man of undoubted veracity tells of a
pet dog of his own, who became extremely
fond of eating books. 1t had plenty of
suitable food, but often, when unobserVed.
got hold of a book, and not only chewed,
but swallowed the pieces. A scrap of the
binding or a bit of torn paper was the only
remnant found after it had INDUCED in it's
peculiar appetite. Dogs who chew and eat
clothing are not uncommon. One dog was
fond of his mistress sewing cotton, and
carried it's queer liking to such an extent
that he frequently got tangled up into such
knot that vet" had to be called in to
unite him.
Another dog made undesirable fame for
its owner by climbing walls into the neigh
bors' back yards and devouring clothing
hung upon the line to dry. In this case
also the dog must have swallowed what
he chewed and tore, as only small scraps
and shreds were found of the whole gar
ment.
Their, there was Mr.. ks COW. Mr..
x lives at c.. and the COW is a
much priced by her owner. 1t seems sur
prising that the COW, was allowed to get
story in all good faith.
1t appears that Mrs. x had spread
some clothing TO dry. The COW was fas-
tened in a field nearby, but somehow
managed to break loose and revealed in
the delicacies she discovered.
When found she had eaten Mr.. ks
Sunday trousers, a vest, a cardigan Jack
ct, two silk handkerchiefs and a pair of
lady's walking boots. She was engaged
upon the leg of a boot when interrupted,
A slight attack of indigestion followed
but the village vet" gave her some
soothing drops in a bran mash and she
recovered. Mr.. X however, did not
recover his trousers.
A day or two afterward the COW was
again found upon the porch. Nobody
seemed sure what she had eaten this
time, but as she was taken i'll the vet"
was again summoned, and this time was
obliged to perform an operation.
He extracted from the cow a rib not
one of her own, but one of the ribs of
Mrs. ks best umbrella. The rib was
rs inches long, besides the hinged part
which gives us some idea of the cows
powers of digestion. for the remaining
ribs, as well as the stick, handle and
cover, seemingly gave her no inconveni-
ence at all. She is alive and well TODAY
and the x family are still minus their
best umbrella.
