A typewriter list of unclaimed let
tiers in the postofice at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, is now received weekly by
postmaster Brundage in this city and
information thus given proves of more
than passing convenience. AS any of
our citizens can readily assert, letters
for Grand Rapids, Wisconsin, often find
their way to the Grand Rapids, Mich,
office. By perusal of the unclaimed
list our postmaster finds the mis-sent
messages and at once notifies the
party to whom it belongs here. Then
the latter can drop postal to the
Michigan postmaster and the letter will
be sent here.

but for his eyes, which are deep, hand some blue Nobody ever heard before of a wolf with blue eyes. Unquestion- ably he is the greatest curiosity of this kind that has ever been captured in the United States.
 From the giant COW of California aud the white wolf of Texas to the edu- cated rooster of Putnam, Conn.,, is far cry. His advent into the family which has brought him fame was made in a dog's mouth. He has become the par ticular pet of little Judith Hopkins, and she tells the story of her favorite in this way:
 "0ne day about a year ago a strange dog came running into the yard with q bantam rooster in his mouth, which he buried under the leaves, supposing it to be dead. Soon after the dog left the rooster came out of the earth and ran away.
 With the help of bird dog we drova him to our home. For few weeks he spent most of the time under the piazza As cold weather came on he began to come out on the piazza and to fly up to the window and allow himself to be taken in. At night we kept him in a barrel down cellar. and he soon came to be very tame. One day in spring we were playing with the wheelharrow, and we put him on it, and as he did not fly off we thought we would try him in doll carriage. We found that we could draw him around as we wished.
 We often cover him with blanket, and he does not mind it at all. At one time he was left alone with us for two hours in a carriage. He did not jump out in all that time. l would rather have my rooster than a bicyele.n

They claim the championship of the world against all competitors of their own age, and no one has yet been heard from willing to contest their title.
 Little Willie is only six years old and his brother Frank is scarcely three years older. Standing at a billiard table with their specially=made cues, these mites in waists and knicker- booker trousers, with their round, smil- ing faces, look much more as though they had just been dressed up to have their pictures taken for the family al- bum than as if they were to play real game of billiards. But when they have mounted on chair placed for them in proper position, and lean over the table edge, ready for work, there is something in their manner of handling the cue which instantly makes it plain that they know their business.

1t was too near the thick aud almost impenetrable cedar brakes for me to try to capture it on horseback. l kept d lookout, however, and & few days after ward one of my riders saw it near the ranch. It seemed to have fondness for that section Of the country, and every once in awhile l would hear about it or see it. Often it came within range of my gun, bat didn't want to kill it. 1t was very sly, however, and at no time could anybody find It far enough from the brakes to admit of it's being caught.
 son one occasion we chased the beast about q half mile, keeping the rope cir cling round our heads all the while, but we could not get near enough to rope it. | saw that it was no use to try this sort of thing. and so 1 began setting common steel traps for it near the house. You see, it had got into the habit of coming around the house to catch chickens. l kept the traps set for two weeks without any result, but at last, on examining them, noticed a streaA of white circling small mes
 quite tree. and at short intervals pieces of the bark and limbs would fly from tho tree. Then ] knew Ihad got my wolf.
 'T routed the boys out and we went to the place. There he was, fast in the trap, and the maddest and ugliest brute you ever. set your eyes on. Big? Why, never saw such q coyote in my life, and he had more grit than a whole regi- ment Of the ordinary kind. After we had him in the trap, however, we were too much for him. After we had couple of lnriats on him we held him tight and took the trap off his foot. Then we fastened a stout chain round his neck and attached him to q tree.
 "There has been regular stream of visitors here to see him ever since. Among those who come are a good many men who have grown gray on the Texas frontier, and they all declare that among the thousands of coyotes they have seen they never even caught glimpse before of one that was white. |"

A COW, q wolf, and a rooster; 1t is an odd triumvirate. The greatest of the three is the COW, for she weighs no less than . ton and half In thesedays of prize beef, there is nothing very sur prising about an OK that weighs ton; but when, as in this case. q COW not only nttains but greatly exceeds that weight, 1t is quite another matter.
 This largest of cows is the pride of Tulare, Cal. She stands exactly 16 hands high, or, in ordinary measure ment, five feet Fl inches. She is beau tifully proportioned, and us gentle as the gentlest of her kind. She weighs 3,oo0 pounds, and contrary te all prece- dent, is q good milker too. At her best, she has been known to yield four gall Ions of milk day. The milk, too. is of extraordinary richness. and the butt ter obtained from the cream is so ex- cellent as to bring almost double the ordinary price.
 This huge animal is seven feet, eight inches in length. All this growth has been attained in six years, and one of the strangest facts in connection with the animal is that she is still growing. Her owner is firm in the belief that if she is allowed time she will lip the beam some day at two tons.
 Following the same route to fame is the calf of this formidable animal, Though only nine months old, it is al- ready as large as any ordinary COW, and is growing at an astonishing rate. It weighs a hundred pounds for every month of it's age, and from present in dications in a few years will rival its giant mother. The mother is valued at
