No sooner has the "ticker' reported the
"Campania" or other big liner 'off Fire
Island" than veteran of the transportation

and porters, hastenS to the foot of Cortlandt
street and boards the "Postmaster-G General, /,
the flagship of the poStoffice fleet. The
boat was built for this service, and is equip
ped with spacious mail-roomS, chuteS for
transforming sacks, and other expediting
appliances. Stea-l is up, and she is OFF
down the bay to meet the big steamer. She
makes fast to her sides, and the mails are
received aboard through the chutes, while
the clerks check and verify the number re-
ceived on a sort of invoice called way bill, !"
prepared by the London, Havre, or sea post
Office. Frequently the passengers are still
awaiting the quarantine doctor while the
mails are speeding on their way to the
Battery, where the New York City sacks are
landed; then to the Pennsylvania Railroad,
then to the foot of Forty-second street,
where wagons await the mails for the
Grand Central depot Thus a great saw
ing in time is often made, while formerly
the whole mail went first to the docks of
the several transatlantic lines, then by
wagons to the General Postoffice, then
again by wagons to the different depots.
When the mails are handled by sea post
Offices during the sea trip, they generally
arrive ready for the trains, and little but
what is for New York City proper comes to
the general office; but the large and heavy
mails on che Cunard and White Star lines,
also on the French line, are not thus as
sorted, and fully two thirds has to come to
the foreign division to be handled as previ-

In making PREPARATIONS for sauab raising
the first and one pf the most important con-
siderations is the, location of the breeding
establishment. This should be so situated
as to be warm III Winter and not exces-
sively hot in Summer land above all things
where it will be free from dampness. For
this reason a southern exposure is the best.
and if sheltered from the north and west
winds. which are those most to be dreaded
in the Winter, so much the better
An expensive structure is not necessary
although if an entire new building is con.
structed certain amount of attention
should be given to neatness of appearance,
feature that will not be regretted when
finished and ready for occupancy.
Many may not want to go to the expense
of erecting a building purposely for breed
ing, and having barn room may prefer to
partition off a portion for the purpose.
This can readily be done, although. if on an
upper floor, it entails greater amount of
work in caring for the birds than if nearer
the ground. If the upper floor of a barn te
used, an aviary or flight should be con-
structed, as shown in Fig. 1. This flight
is essential for keeping the birds healthy
and giving them outdoor exercise and fresh
air. Such fight is inexpensive to build,
being made of a light framework and GOV.
cred with one-inch mesh wire

From, Mr.. Justice John ". Harlan,s A


From Mr.. Justice John N. Harldn's Ad-
dress TO The Phi Beta Kappa Chapter Of
Rochester University.
Some people have a curious way in
which to manifest their devotion to couT-
try. There are those who rarely see any
thing in the operations of our Government
which they approve. They never fail,
when the Nation is in a contest or having a
dispute with other Peoples, to say that our
country is wrong and our adversaries right,
ana they do this even while our brave sol
diers are i'll far distant lands endeavoring
TO maintain the rightful authority of this
Natlon. Some have not hestated to say,
IN the most public way, that those who
ambush and shoot down our brave boys
IN tine Philippine jungles are doing only
what they have a right TO do. and what
their honor demands. They do not hesi-
tate TO place the treacherous Aguinaldo by
the side OF Washington and Lafayette and
Lincoln. One OF the most conspicuous of
that class has recently characterized this
Nation as "A great assassin nation and
has declared that the salvation of liberty
in the United States depends upon the
defeat OF our gallant army in the Philip
pines. These men are never happier than
when attempting to persuade their fellow
citizens that America is entering upon
dark and perilous future. and that all that
has so far been accomplished for the liberty
and well-being of the American people
Will be lost.
For my part / have an undoubting
faith that a great destiny awaits America,
and that in the working out of that destiny,
under the leadings of Providence, humanity
everywhere will be lifted up, and power
and tyranny will be compelled to recognize
the fact that God is no respecter of persons,
and that He hath made of one blood all
nations of men, No, gentlemen, let us
not despair of our country Let us have
an abiding faith that it will never depart
from the fundamental principles of right
and justice, nor prove recreant to the high
trusts committed to it for the benefit, not
alone of the American people, but Of all
men everywhere on all the earth.
1--WE have had political storms that
seemed to threaten the destruction of our
institutions; and now and then we may
have been somewhat faint-hearted as to the
future. During all these storms the croak-
er was abroad in the land. But these
storms passed away and we rejoiced, and
now rejoice, that our apprehensions were
groundlesS. We may expect storms in the
future, but taught by the experience of the
past we will stand at our respective posts of
duty in the firm conviction that the kind
Providence that has always watched over
this American people will bring our ship
of state into the harbor of safety. We love
the rocks and rills,' the woods and tenn
pied hills of this fair land, and, come what
may, we will give to it the best service of
which we are capable"

To prevent rats. mice. and other vermin
from entering the house through these
openings, tin or sheet iron should be tackled
to the building. covering space two feet
below, one foot above, and one foot on
either side of the openings. This pre-
vents their getting a foothold. and while
they might readily climb up the boards or
batens, when they strike the smooth sur
face of the tin they lose their hold and fall
TO the ground.
Along the front of the house and about
one foot below the roof, on the eight and
.one-half foot side, cut openings one foot
square and eight feet apart, with keyhole
or compass saw. Tack on the top of the
pieces of board that come from these OPEN
ings, strips of leather, replace the pieces
and fasten the strip of leather to the re-
naming portion of the board. Cover the
opening on the outside with wire netting,
to prevent the birds from flying through.
Arrange this with cords to raise or lower at
will, and you have small hanging door
that can be used as a ventilator on hot days
and nights, or at any time when necessary

bottom will hold it firmly in place
such a house can be neatly painted
whitewashed, or covered with tar cement
which, although not very ornamental, is
warm, and certainly waterproof. All doors
should nave spring attachments to them, so
that they will close o: their own accord when
any one passes through, and thus prevent
the birds flying out
There are many persons living i'm cities
