Trapping australian Rabbits.

Consul-General Bray reports from
Melbourne that new rabbit trap is
being used in Australia with great
success, whereby rabbits may be
caught alive in very large numbers,
It is used in connection with small
trap yards, diagrams for the con-
struction of which are supplied by the
patentee Of the traps. The trap itself
is IS inches long, 10 inches high, and
inches in width. 1t has balanced
moving floor and door at each end,
which opens and closes automatically.
The weight of a rabbit on the inverse
end of a floor closes the door behind
him by which he has entered and
opens the door in front leading to the
trap yard SO that the rabbit has no
option but to 80 on, and when he
leaves the trap it goes back to its
former position thus resetting itself.
The small trap yards are constructed
Of double-wire netting fences, in the
spaces between which green fodder or
hay is cultivated or provided, and,
although these foods cannot be reach
ed by the rabbits, it entices them to
enter through the traps to try and
get out the fodder from the other
side. Two, three or more traps may
be used in connection with each trap
yard. The invention has been tried
with great success on several exten-
sive ranches in Australia, and the in.
Ventor has a number Of certificates
from leading ranchmen, one of whom
states that with two Of the traps set
at a small water hole he caught $50
rabbits in one night.-Forest and

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize
the injurious action of caffeine-the
drug in coffee--on the heart, than the
doctor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
Il wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation

nervous heart trouble for over is
years, and part of the time was un-
able to attend to my business.
II was a moderate user Of coffee
and did not think drinking it hurt
me. But on stopping it and using
Postum instead, my heart has got all
right, and l ascribe l. to the change
from coffee to Postum.
IT am prescribing it now in cases
Of sickness, especially when coffee
does not agree, or affects the heart,
nerves or stomach.
when made right it has much
better flavor than coffee, and is a
vital sustainer Of the system. / shall

Another Question Arises.

The various school districts and
the several counties of the state which
have voted in favor Of the local school
tax system under the McMichael bill,
are in somewhat Of a quandary. 1t
was recently decided by Attorney
General John G. Hart, that under the
amended law no local school tax could
be collected from the railroad compa-
MES prior to 1907, because the new
Jaw does not provide for special re-
turns to fit the case until next year
Now the question is can these school
districts and counties collect the local
school tax this year on other classes

along this line have been received

IN the killing of innocent negroes on

Would AboIlsh Nearo I4eIp.

The board of health of Atlanta has
decided that it would be best for
the department and for the city to get
rid of all negro labor, and employ
white men.
The matter will be presented to
the city council In. a short while, and
at the end of the year the board will
ask for enough money to raise the
wages of all employees in the sanitary
department so that white men can be
put to work on the first of January
instead of the negroes.
The sanitary department now en-
ploys about 240 negroes, 80 of whom
drive the trash carts, and about so
sweep the streets. The others drive
the night soil wagons and look after
the stock.
The negroes have been paid S115 a
day, and it is proposed to pay the
white men $15U day.
