WALKED 2o5,e2o MILES.
Remarkable Record of a Postman
Who IInH Just Retired.


A Mr.. Roberts, for 80 years postman
of Pilling in the Fylde, North Lanca-
shire, has just retired, reports the Lon
don Mail. For % years he walked from
Pilling to Fleetwood and back twice
day, not to mention many perilous trips
in crossing the river Wyre during pc
RODS of storm. A calculation of five
miles each way, four times day Tin
addition to his round at the village),
six days in the week, for % years, shows
that he walked 137,2SO miles between
Pilling and Fleetwood in the fulfillment
of his duty. During this time he must
have crossed the river NVyrc Ca by no
means pleasant task in the winter time)
27,457 times. His duties were consid-
erably lightened when 1 years ago the
government decided to bring the mails
to Pilling by another route. Though
this did away with crossing the river it
did not reduce the distance Postman
Roberts had to walk very much. In
Guiding the village delivery, he must
in his 33 years of service have walked
no less than 2O5,92O miles.

MATERIALS OF BIRDS NESTS.

Strange Composition Of Some Odd
Specimens.
The instinct Of birds does not compel
them in building their nests to use only
familiar materials. The Literary Di-
gest translates from a French period
ical the following examples of birds
facility of adaptations:
A birds nest was found in the suburbs
Of Lille That %as composed of white
wool and of strips Of paper from tele-
graph Office where the Morse system is
used, situated several miles away.
The bird must have made n consider
able number Of trips, for the quantity
Of paper was large, and II had made a
good choice of material, for everyone
knows that paper is a bad conductor Of
heat; it holds heat we'll, and one does
not need TO have travelled around the
world to have found out that on jour-
nry good-s.zed journal of stout paper,
like the English newspapers, holds heat
as well as blanket.
Near Besancon another nest was
found, made wholly of watch springs,
evidently taken from the factories in
the neighborhood. Here the selection
was less happy. for metals are good con-
ductors Of heat. Finally, near a spot
where a large st. Bernard dog is kept
was found nest built Of hair detached
from the dogs coat. In this case the
inspiration was evidently good.

TO VALIDATE THE LAWS.
Bills Are to BE Railrosded Through the
Idaho Legislature.

special Dispatch to the Standard.
Boise, Idaho. Dec. l.-GoNerno
Steunenberg has devised a plan 10
validate Idaho's laws, the supreme
court having decided that nine-tenths
of the enactments since Idaho was
granted statehood are illegal. In briet.
The plan is to ~re-enac all the avs OF
the past -four sessions excepting such
as may have been declared un~conconsti-
~tutionaI. II Is expected that the legis-
lature will pass a concurrent resolution
at the opening of the session to re-enact
the laws without amendment or debate.
They will then be put through under
suspension. no more time being re-
ouired than that necessary for comply
ing with the requisite formalities.
In order to have the work thorougnly
done. Governor S~teunenberg has called
to his assistance an unofficial commits
sion composed of Henry n. johnson and
Charles s. Kingslee of Boise and h
Averitt of st. Anthony. These gentle
men are now at work preparing the
bills. This scheme to railroad through
these bills will meet with much opposi-
ton, but the governor is confident he
will have a majority at his back. The
opposition will make a strong light on
re-enacting the ~antl-gambling Law and
other important acts which come under
the supreme courts ban.
