OVERRUN BY RATS.
Enforced Closing of the Distr.ciea'
Office In London.

Something like twelve months ago
an important district postofice in Lon
don was closed. 1t had been opened
for stamps, money orders and post
office orders and kilograms till mid
night, and it was in the center OF a
thickly populated district. One day,
without any previous notice, the doors
were closed and card affixed stating
that it was closed for repairs. Weeks
passed and it was not reopened. The
acknowledgement received COM
plants by the score. But the weeks
became months, and still the doors re-
mained closed. And the people around
wondered why. The murder is at last
out, and some OF the families residing
near know it to their cost. The post
office in question had to be closed be-
cause it had become the happy hunt
ing ground of vast hordes Of rats VINO
consumed letters by the bagful, and
many postal orders, money order forms
and other official papers. The rats
forced the postoffice to be closed, ana
after numerous attempts to rid the
place Of the rodents it was found pos
sible to do so only by putting down en-
tirely new cement foundations and en-
tirely retimbering the place. AS nearly
as possible the postoffice had, but Tor
its mere shell, to be rebuilt. That done,
the troubles of the immediate neigh
borhood became accentuated. Driven
from the postoffice, the rats have Jour-
neyed to the surrounding houses'
which are now infested with them. Inc
correspondent from whom this ln1or-
nation comes has had several cats IN
his place, and they have done some
thing to keep things down, but, to use
his words, ito go home is to find the
wife and the maids with flying pettl-
coats rushing up the stairs; servants
won't stay in the house except 1or
very short time; mats and plctures'
some of the latter several feet up the
walls. have been consumed. My wife
