United States Mail Protectors.

The United States government is
sometimes served for years by valuable
servants who are not even boarded at
the expense of the government. These
servants are cats. Rats are one of the
persistent dangers that threaten the
United States mail They destroy the
bags and the mail matter. The postoffice
building in New York city is a large
building and now many years old. 1t is
said that there are 60 cats in the build
ing cared for by the clerks. Some of the
cats have never lived anywhere else
others have come in from the neighbor'
hood. The cats who have known only
this home are very shy Of strangers and
will come only to the clerks in the
building. So you see that the govern
ment is served without pay by these
faithful servants who prevent the de
struction by rats of valuable property
and all that is given them is shelter. -

Fish returning to the rhames.

If we do not soon see salmon at Lon
don bridge, there is fair prospect of
our catching sea trout there before long.
The main cause is the gradual cleans
Ing of the Thames water, largely
through the action Of the county council
in securing better treatment Of the Lon
don sewage; while minor contribution
is made by the efforts of the Thames
conservancy to make the Thames not
only navigable waterway, but a clean
one. The sure and certain indexes of
this improvement have been the success
sive Temperatures Of certain kinds of
fish, creeping up annually higher and
higher from the sea.
The writer has noted this process for
some II years, with increasing satisfac-
ton. The first indication conveyed to
his mind that some change was taking
place was the appearance Of couple of
porpoises at Hammersmith bridge early
on the morning of the fateful day when
Mr.. Gladstone's home rule bill was re-
jected. Walking back to Chiswick, after
witnessing the memorable scene in the
lobby of the house of commons at 80
that morning, he saw the porpoises, and
though Roman annalists would have en-
tered this as an incident full of political
omen-monstra martina in Tiberi visa
he guessed that they had come up in
pursuit of fish. So they had, for shortly
after it was announced that the tubes of
certain torpedo boats had been choked
with whitebait on their way down to
run the mile at Lower Hope. A few
years later the whitehall and shrimps
were swarming at Gravesend. --Cornhill
