QUICKNEss is RELATIVE.

The careful American observer soon
finds that the standard of quickness is
to be determined in England, as every
where else, by the point of view, says
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, IN the
Atlantic. People who go slowly on new
ground may turn out to be quick enough
when wholly at home with any particu-
lar line of thought.
How odious and complicated, for In
stance, seems to an American observer
the computation of pounds, shillings and
pence! It seems strange that any ma
ton should consent for a day to en-
ploy anything but a decimal currency:
yet with what lightning rapidly does
London bookkeepsr make his compu-
.ations! What a life Of tedious formal
ity seems that Of an English house serY-
ant; yet there was no slowness Of In
tellect in that footman in an earl's fam

the banister, and the next of kin called
to ask If the elder boy was hurt, an a.
swered promptly: KILLED, my lord z,
thus accomplishing In an instant the
transfer of the title appertaining to an
osiris eldest son and heir only.

No attempt apparently will be made

often been accomplished with selected

The zebra proper is very difficult to

NEW ZEALAND's RABBITS.
Formerly Pest, Now q Source Of
Revenue-$sO5,O 900 Worth
Shipped Last Year. $3.50

Rabbits, which have been the pest Of
Australia and New Zealand for many
years, have now become source of large
revenue. Frozen rabbits to the value
of over $685., 900 were exported from Vic
toria, New Zealand, last year, in addi-
ton to $4,000 worth Of preserved rab-
bits. This business is daily increasing.
Now that the trapping industry is such
an important one, employing as it does
several thousand hands, and is largely
effective in keeping the rabbit pest in
check, the chances are that the meth
DDS of compulsory suppression now en-
forced on landholders will at least be
moderated by the government.
The rabbits in Australia and New
Zealand were originally shipped from
England, and 1t is almost impossible to
keep them out Of the cattle ranches.
Fences have been built around these
vast stations with wire netting sunk
IL inches below the surface to prevent
the rabbits from getting inside, but as
soon as grass becomes short on the
outside, MIR. Bunnie" will burrow I'M
der the wire netting and eat up the grass
on the inside
Rabbits In this country rarely burrow,
but are to be found in stumps of trees
and under fallen timber. In and about
Chicago, where land is divided for build
ing purposes, rabbits make their homes
under the wooden sidewalks, and can
De easily turned out by good dog.
Such, however, is not the habit of the
Australian pest.
