CATS IN POST OFFICES.
Rat Catehers That Are Paid by the
Government for Their

Several years ago letter containing
a large sum of money disappeared
from the New York post Office, writes
Hugh Nstherton, In Ladies' Home
Journal, in telling Of Cats That Draw
Salaries" A month after the disap-
pearance q desk in one Of the rooms
was moved, and on the floor was found
a nest Of young rats resting on bed
of macerated greenbaeks--ail that was
left OF the missing letter. Uncle Sam
at last decided 10 employ a eat 10 pro-
teet the New York post Office from rats

United States rat and mouse catching

secured the place through the recon-
mendatioE of her owner, who certified
that she was not only good mouser,
but also a friend of the administration
qualities which she at once exempli-
fed by her work.
With New York as an example. other
post Offices asked for cats, and to-day
nearly every large Office in the United
States has its Official mouser or rat
killer, who receives from nine TO swely,

Have Brought the State
Some Money.
Commission Wants No PreiudiciaI
Legislation.

Columbus, Dec. 31.--What the canals
OF Ohio have cost the state during the
fiscal year just closed cannot be ascer-
tained from the annual report of the
commission, filed with Governor Nash,
yesterday, for, as is customary, the
report makes no statement Of the eX-
penses of the State department. .
The receipts from all sources for the
year We're $37,343.79. The total is
made up of the following items: Re-
ceipts from land leases, $1S,9lO,24; re-
ceipts from oil leases, $9,S15 ~; royalty
from Manhattan Oil Company for OIL
taken from State land, $0,4S7 .S3; re-
ceipts from leases of State stone quar-
ry tract 500; receipts from land sales,
$l,O50. The total valuation of all caIi-
al leases in force November 10, 1901,
was $324,O04.
In addition to the, revenues to be
derived from land leases made during
the year there are royalties to be col
lected for oil taken from the Mercer
county reservoir and adjacent territory.
The income from these lenses whose
life Is ten years, is estimated at $40,-
600, and the income from all the leas-
es made during the year is estimated
by the commission mt 81. 1000.
With respect to the use of the ca
nal banks for electric railway purpos-
es the commission says that the pro-
posed application of electricity for the
propulsion of canal Doats promises to
prove complete success, and advises
that no legislation prejudicial to the
interests Of those to whom leases have
been made for this purpose be enacted
in the near future.
