PRoFITlNo BY A PEST.
Australia Sells For Food the Rabbits
She Cannot ExtormlnaGe.

@M9 gS44AOe lin SUKA&4asA@GgS
Everybody has heard Of the extraor-
binary ravages Of the European rab-
bits that were introduced into Aus
tralia years ago. The animals were
imported So that the British subjects
who had removed to the antipodes
might enjoy the sport Of RABBIT hunt
Ing. They had more sport than they
bargained for and the whole country
regrets the days the little animal was
introduced to Australian scenes. There
are many millions of them now and
tho little nibblers eat the grass, de-
.stroy fields, orchards and gardens and
are the great nuisance Of the country.
The rewards offered by the various
colonies for some sure way Of destroy
Ing the pest would make the fortune
Of the man who should discover the
process. Today, however. the Aus
tralians appear to be a little more re-
signed under the infection. The idea
occurred to them, a while ago, that
they might utilize the animal on a
large scale as a commercial commod-
Ity. So they set to work to Kill rab-
bits by the thousands, can the meat
and send it to Europe in cold storage.
Australian canned rabbit sells at a
cheap price in the British markets and
Is beginning to be largely consumed
by those who cannot afford very often
to indulge In prime beef. Australia
has found g. new industry and who
knows but some day, the rabbit may
come to be regarded as one Of the
great OF the continent2-

New Postal Check System.

The proposal to use "post check money as convenient method of making payment through the mails is received with much favor by officials of the postal department, says the Washington Times. The simpli- city of the system comments it. self to them and they believe that it would prove popular with the public. Advocates of the post check money declare that it would almost do away with the present money order system. Such a prospect is not viewed with displeasure by officials, for the money order service has not only proven cumbersome, but it has been run at loss to the gov ernment.
 The post check money plan would involve a reissue of all the paper currency now issued by the government in denominations of S10, or less. It twould provide for having blanks left on the face of each note, in which the name and the address of the payee could be filled. So long as these blanks were left vacant the bill would be merely an ordinary piece of currency, payable to the bearer. Suppose, however, that a person wished to send S5 through the mails in payment of some bill. By taking one of the S5 notes from his pocket and fill ing the blanks with the name and address cf the payee i1e would convertit into check on the treasurer of the United States. By way of paying the fee for the service it is proposed that the sender be required to affix to the check a two cent postage stamp, and cancel it in same way that internal revenue stamps are can- celled. The note, transformed into a check, could then be sent by letter to it's destination. The receiver, by taking it to the near est postoffice could get it cashed atpar. The check would bep pay able to no one but the person named on it, or his order, and postmasters would require identi- fication in the same way that they now require 1t from persons pre- senting money orders. After having been paid the note would be destroyed by the government, which would be authorized to re- issue a new one in the same fashion as is in vogue for reissu- ing mutilated currency.
 The scheme is proposed as a decided convenience to all classes of people. The notes would cir culate from hand to hand as free- ly as they do at present until needed by making a payment by mail. Then by filling in the name of the addressee, the bill becomes 8 check payable only to the proper person or his order.
 The system was invented by c. w. Post, 8 Battle Creek, Mich., man, who has been widely identified with grain foods. He secured the introduction of a bill in congress during the last days of the past session, but it was not put through, and in fact received little attention.

New York Servant Revenges HERSELF
Upon Unkind Employer.
The New York servant has found a
wey Of revenging herself upon an I'M
kind mistress. The plan is not origi-
nal but it works satisfactorily. 1t
explains why some women can only
keep a servant for a few days. The
scheme is simple. The departing do
nestle writes her opinion Of her en-
ployer in some hidden nook or Granny,
either in the kitchen or in her own
room. The new domestic finds this
communication. She profits by it. In
quiry at an employment agency ON

the manager Of the agency, that a
girl who leaves a place in g rage

gested by the Chinese servants in San
Francisco. Their method was to leave
a few hieroglyphics under the kitchen
sink. The new celestial invariably
