THE postoffice department has rented
building in Appleton for post office
for which it pays 81, 100. The building
it leases in this city is equally good but
it pays only $500. There is injustice in
this The Manitowoc postoffice does not
do quite so much business as that at APP
pleton, but the difference isby no means
what would seem by comparison Of the
rentals paid.

THE businessmen of Neenah have or
ganized an association to protect them
selves against fake advertisers. This is
an organization similar to that recently
established in Oshkosh There should
be no need of an organization to teach
businessmen what is proper for them to
do with reference to their own business
when they are free to act. People like
to be humbugged and always will A
recently published map of this city was
crowded with advertisements of local
businessmen. One of the papers of fine
city would give ten times the circulation
to the advertisements. An organization
is simply an appeal by the advertisers tc
be saved from their own folly.

For many years naturalists like Au-
dubon and Wilson studied and wrote
of this bird before it was known that
there were robin roosts" as well as
pigeon roosts. Only within the last
few years was the fact brought out
that bird more Familiarity known than
the passenger pigeon followed this
mode of spending the night, although
it adopted spring instead of fall for
massing by hundreds in a high shell
tered wood for a nights protection
from cold, or because it is the period
before pairing time. or for some other
reason at present beyond mans ken
With what stealth must this well-known
and much-observed bird have found its
way in such numbers to the same patch
of timber night after night in TIE early
months of the year. according to To-
cality coming from all directions so
swiftly that a secreted observer could
not count, keeping up a chatter that
could be heard for a long distance, I'M
til the last bird, somewhat belated,
perhaps, found shelter in the darken-
ing grove, when all became silent as
thousands of wings were folded to rest.
Another peculiar trait of the robin.
unnoted except by so keen an OBJ
server of bird ways as Maurice
Thompson, is that, with all its friendly
and confiding relations with the human
family during the time of nesting and
rearing its young, in the fall of the
year. it becomes a wild bird, betaking
itself largely to the woods and even
the secluded parts of mountains, at this
season showing little disposition to be
on familiar terms with man, giving a
note of alarm and flying high and
swiftly when surprised at his approach.
At this time they range over extensive
tracts of country, but nearly always
evince a tendency to seclusion. The
writer has seen them in small flocks
flying over a wide valley at such an ele-
walton that only by the well known
sharp squeak. rather than by the eye,
could he surely determine that they
were robins.
Even in its migratory habits this bird
is somewhat peculiar. They seem to
move southwark in the fall with more
hardness than most other birds, al
lowing the increased seventies of the
cold season to push them off the win
ter's edge. Or are these late goers
the birds Injured to cold by residence
in the States further north, which,
coming southwark, take the place of
others that have gone earlier in the
season? The question of identity, al
ways a difficult one. almost precludes
argument on this point.

AUGUST MAGAZINES.

Hamlin Garland, ANTHONY Hope, John
kendrick Bangs, Harold Richard Vynne,
Anna Robson Brown, "Josiah Aliens
Wife," Clara Morris, Kate Whiting Patch and
Anna Farquhar are among the half score of
writers of fiction who contribute stories to
the August Ladies' Home Journal. The Mid.
summer Fiction Number of the journal is in
many respects a notable magazine. 1t has
brought together in single Issue some of the
most popular story writers, and the most
capable black. and white artists to illustrate
their work. Fiction, of course, predominates,
but there is an abundance of timely, practical
articles especially appealing to home and
family interests and tending to tighten and
brighten wOmen's work.
In "The Progress ofathe ,world," the edi
torial department of the Review of Reviews
for gust, the questions connected with the
Manila censorship and Secretary Ayers
resignation are discussed, and also the diff
ferences between Secretary Gage and the
Civil Service Reform League. There is also
some comment on the Buffalo conference of
political and social reforms.
Nc Clure's Magazine for August will con-
tain an article on "The Cape to Cairo Rail
way" by W. T. Stead. AS Mr.. stead is a
personal friend of Cecil Rhodes, as well as of
most of the important men associated with
him in this enterprise, his story will have IA
very special interest and value. II will be
fully illustrated from photographs of Incl.
dents and scenes along the line.
The Fiction Number of Scribner's Maya
zine has come to be an annual event of import
ance TO writers and readers of short stories.
In it, during the past ten years, have ap.
peared the most notable short stories of
writers established in reputation, and wri tiers

ance in this issue. The present Fiction Mum.
Der august is remarkable for its color
printing, its brilliant pictures by young
artists, and the high excellence of the short
stories.
"Malby's Menagerie," one of the stories in
the forthcoming issue of the sunday Maya
| zine, Is sure TO make the reader forget the

1t is a humorous story of four circus lions

Howard Fielding has story in this number
called 1.-THE Love Letters of a Liar" that is in
his best vein, and "Hunger and the Judge" is
an unusual story, translated from the Ger

as this unique publication, and since the
New York Sunday Press began issuing the
Sunday Magazine as a supplement its popu
larity has been steadily increasing.

This is $4,000 more than the salary Of

and $4,000 less than the income of an
admiral in the navy, rank done away
with because Congress thought the
salary too high. These elephants are
at the London Zoo, and they earn their
money by carrying on their backs the
patrons of the gardens. Every AIRY
takes his 'Arriet and HES him to the
Zoo on bank holidays, and for five cents
they can jog about the ring on the
back of one of the elephants.
The elephants are stationed in differ
ent parts of the Zoo, and there seems
to be bit Of professional jealousy be-
tween them. Apparently they are on
very good terms between hours. but
when business is brisk. and the largest
one is coming money, for he is the fav-
orlte, the other two try to lash him
with their trunks as he passes.

A Lewiston man, chemist. went into
a well-known Lisbon street variety
store the other day and began to pick
out things of interest and tell where
they were made and what they were
made Of He found several things
made in Japan, where he supposed that
the newspapers. which he especially
has no liking for, have no pull with the
public.
1t so happened that the storekeeper
knew something about the forcefulness
of Japanese newspapers, and he took
up a little white skeleton. made in the
exact shape of the human one, and a
good specimen of Japanese art. This
the Lewiston chemist thought was odd
and he couldn't guess what 1t was made
of. but said that he would like to see
what it was made OF. He went away
saying that Japan was destined to be
great country because it was not over
ridden by newspapers.
When the chemist got home he put
the little japanese plaything into the
water and soaked II out. Gradually it
unrolled till it peeled off, bone by bone,
and the little rolls were found to
be closely printed paper evidently old
Japanese newspapers, used by the
makers of the littls playthings. The
chemist took the rolli to a friend of his
who has been studying japanese a
little, and he picked out sentences
here and there such as:
"The Chinese army was cornered at
Port Arthur" and Fearful slaughter
of the Orientals-on both Sides" The
next time he went into the variety
store. says the Lewiston Journal, he
found his friend the store keeper
grinning out of his eyes at him. What
we're the Japanese skeletons made off"
asked the store mar. Newspapers "
said the chemist.

IAE BANANA CANAL.

w, +. Curtis contributes to the Chi
cago Record an interesting account OF the
progress of the Panama canal enterprise.
He admits that he has preferred the
Nicaragua route and he supposed that the
talk about the Panama project last
winter was trumped up for the purpose
of unloading a hopeless undertaking at
a good profit; but he was astonished at
what he found in visit he has just
made there. The company which has
taken over the affairs of the broken
De Lesseps concern has been working
industriously and quietly since 1894 with
a large force of men, which now numbers
$500. Under De Lesseps one-fifth of the
distance was excavated, through the
easier sea-level part of the way. These
bitches have since become partly filled
with sand and debris which, however,
can easily be removed at no great ex-
pense. The new company has devoted
attention to the more difficult part of the
undertaking and is cutting through the
continental divide through which are to
flow the waters of the great artificial lake
created by damming up the Chagres
river and for the purpose OF containing
and saving its immense overflows during
the rainy season, preventing them from
doing damage. 1t is confidently main
tanned by the new canal company that
the work can be completely at an adj
ditional expenditure of Sl00,OOO,OOO.
This is much less than the cost of con-
structing the Nicaragua canal. The new
company has also done much to rob the
region of its terror as death hole for all
unacclimated workmen. 1t has estab-
lished field hospitals for the men now
employed, and fine large hospital at
Panama for the more serious cases. AS
a result of these attentions it is said that
not a death was recorded in 1898 from
the Chagres fever, which used to NOV
down the De Tesseps employees by humid
reds, and most other infectious diseases
have beer stamped out. Mr.. Curtis says
that life on the isthmus is now attended
by no more danger from disease than
anywhere else, even for people from the
United States.

Robert Bonner's Love of the Horse.


Robert Bonner loved the horse. shar-
ing in the appreciation of a nobly bred
and blooded animal with some of the
great creative geniuses of New York
city. Like Commodore Vanderbilt, he
had the keenest understanding and pro-
foundest admiration not only of the
power and the nature of horse, but of
the wonderful anatomy and nervous Or
ganism of the animal. He was firm In
the belief that no man likes better to
drive at top speed perfectly trained,
swift horse than that horse itself likes to
be driven by one whom it recognizes as a
master. And it was not only in driving,
but in a constant study of the horse that
he found that recreation and change of
occupation which his physicians coun-
seIed him he must discover if he were to
preserve his health. In a little while
after he began to drive fast horses
never for money nor would he ever toll
crate professional racing-he had taught
many men who had been reared in pre-
judlce of all association with a horse
that there was nothing that was I'M
worthy or demoralizing, but everything
that should quicken mans mental,
physical, and even help his moral nature,
in proper association with the finest gift
of God to men in all the animal world.
as Bonner believed the horse to be. He
made the American trotting horse pos
sible, and to his influence is due that
reasonable admiration of the horse
which now is found in every part of the
land.-"Robert Bonner" by E. j. Ed.
