Don't Violate the Laws.

The Government is entailing a
very heavy expense in establishing

convenience to the people that
very few who have experienced its
advantages would be willing to do
without it.
But the Government eXrects to

by an increased amount of mail to
be carried, on which postage is to
be paid, and it expects everybody
to play fair in this matter. 1t is,
therefore, required that all mail
matter dropped into box must
have the requisite amount Of post
age stamps on it or sufficient "a
mount of money in the box to pay
the postage, and anything found in
the box, which is not thus stamped
or has not enough cash with it to
pay the postage, is to be lifted by
the carrier and brought to the post
Office where it will be "held for
postage" according to law.
We have published the fact be-
fore, but there are some who, it
seems, have not learned the fact or
else think they can slip in letter
to friend by dropping it into his
letter box, their line OF reasoning
probably being that as the letter
need not be handled by any govern
ment official, there need be no post
age paid on it. But those boxes
are erected under the protecting
care OF government and thus form
part Of the post Office department,
although paid for by the individual
and, therefore, nothing can be per-
mitted to pass through them with
out postage being paid thereon.
Carriers, who are expected to be
obliging and accommodating, have
no choice in the matter, as their in
structions are imperative, to lift
every piece OF mailable matter found
in box, for which there is not pro-
vision for postage, and if the post
age is not forthcoming in speci-
fled time the missive is sent to the
Dead Letter Office.
Let everybody play fair, there
fore, with the government, and
there will be no cause for complaint
if intended notes dropped into letter
boxes fail to reach their destination.

Baltimore cold storage houses has
come to close for the year. The
prices at present asked by the farm

SINGING MICE IN LONDON.
Strange Melody Similar to That Of
Canaries.

A resident of London writes as fol.
lows about singing mice: I'VE had
never heard of their existence until
fortnight ago, when we arrived from
the continent and went into lodgings
In an old house just off oxford circus
The first night we were awakened by
loud singing, as of a number of birds,
and our first impression was that
some one kept nightingales in cages
The next morning the lendlady in
formed us they were singing mice we
had heard, and she had read of them
when her lodgers began to hear them
In the walls. When we clapped our
hands we could hear the mice running
away in the walls, and when all was
still they began again their concert.
1t was not squealdng or chirpng, but
sustained singing, as of canares in a
cage"
