One Way of Posting a Letter.

The island of st. Kilda is often visit
ed by tourist steamers in the summer,
but its regular mail communication
with the mainland, some $50 miles dis
tant, is confined to the annual visits of
the steamer which brings the factor and
his stores, says Household Words. But
if at other times the inha bitants desire
to communicate with Great Britain they
employ the following curious device: A
man cuts the rough model of boat
from billet of wood hollows it partly
out, places in the hollow a tin OF small
bottle containing letter, nails on a
deck, and when the wind is blowing to-
ward the mainland launches the tiny
craft, having first connected it with a
bladder, which drives along before the
wind and acts us a tug to the little mail
boat. But the set of the gulf stream fire.
quently drives this curious craft out of
its course, and as often as not it reaches
the Shetland islands or the coast of Nor.
way, where, however, the letter is pref
ty sure to be found and posted to its
destination

AN EGYPTIAN PUZZLE.
eOw Thieves Are Detected by the
Use of ncanny Charms.

The most curious and complicated
of stolen property and the detection of
thieves Strange to say the Egyptii
practice of seeing figures shifting over
the ink poured into a boys hand is.
with certain minor differences, known
in Sindh. The Vinyane Waro, or finder
of lost goods. rubs some dark substance
over the thumbnails OF youth not ar
rived at the age of puberty, or directs
him to look at black spot painted Oh
the bottom of bright brass pot.
The scothsayer during this period re.
cites the azinah (charm) three differ
ent times, after which the seeing COM
mences. The boy first sees bhaugi, or
sweeper, appear in the ink and clean
the floor, after which farash (tent pitch
ers) approach and prepare pavilion
They are followed by a train of serv-
ants, who spread carpets and erect
kind of throne for the king of the Jinn
who presently appears in state. accom-
panied by his suit.
Before him the loser of the article ap-
pears, to advance as a complainant, and
the monarch sends his chobdaiD (mace
bearer for the thief The latter being
violently dragged into the presence, is
bastinadoed till he shows the spot
where the goods are concealed, and is
then dismissed When the charm is
concluded, the boy accurately describes
the person of the guilty man and the
place where he deposited his plumber.
The natives of Sindh aver that this
incautation is not diabolical one, as it
is only to be mastered by the 40 days
fast and the other ceremonies usually
gono through during the study of the
tas khir (or acquisition of power over
angels and demons). Consequently few
practice it, and the knowledge is con-
fined to certain families l never saw
the operation, but have heard of it sutfi-
GENTLY often to be assured that my in
formants were not deceiving me. More
over, traces Of it are to be found in
southern Persia and other parts of the
eastern world 1t probably originated
in India, that poisonous source of three
parts Of the superstitions which have
inundated Europe and Asia and travelled
westward to Egypt and the Maghrib.
AS Il support to my conjecture, it may
be mentioned that in Sindh it is prac-
ticed by some Hindoos as we'll as Mos

HOW POM? WAS CONVERTED
Rainy Sunday at Church, Where He
Was the Only Sinner.

fiin9 S:nuIS at Snurch, mere He
Was the Only Sinner.
DR.. Payson, the famous and beloved
preacher of Portland, Me-. used to tell
the following pointed story:
One very stormy Sunday he went to
church, more from habit than because
he expected to find anybody there Just
after he had stepped inside the door an
old negro came in and asked if DR..
Payson was to preach there that day,
explaining that he was stranger in
town and had been advised to go to his
church
Upon that" said DR.. Payson, Il
made up my mind to preach my sermon
if nobody else came. ?"
Nobody else did come, so the doctor
preached to the choir and the old negro.
Some months afterward he happened
to meet the negro, and stopping him
asked how he enjoyed the sermon that
stormy Sunday.
Enjoy dat sermon?" replied the old
man. 81 'clar, doctor, nebber heerd a
better one. You see 1 had seat pretty
well up front, an whenebber you'd say
somethin I'd jess look all roun, ter see
nobody on'y jess me. An | says to
self He must mean you, Pomp;
you's sech dretful sinner. Well, doc
tor, dat are sermon set me a-thinkin
what a big sinner war, an l went an
jined the church down home. I'ze a

AMBUHL IN Trouble
Agent Minneapolis Brewing
Co. Short in His Ac-
:. counts.
Left THE CITY FRIDAY
Cards the Cause----Probabil-
ity That the Trouble will
be Settled.

The community was shocked Sat
urday morning to learn that T. B.
Ambuhl, for several years agent for
the Minneapolis Brewing Co. at this
place, had left the city and was short
in his accounts.
While it had been known for some
days that there would be a change
OF agents, the reason for the change
was not apparent. Mr.. Ambuhl
told several that he was going into
business in northern Minnesota.
Geo. W. Geissler, auditor of the
company, discovered the shortage
after an examination OF the books,
and at once noticed the Minneapolis
lawyers who represent the New York
surety company which bonded Mr..
Ambuhl.
Mr.. Van Fossen, of Van Fossen &
Frost, agents for the surety COM
pany, arrived Thursday evening last
week: He talked with Mr.. Ambuhl
Friday morning. Ambuhl admitted
the shortage and was given until the
next day to make it good. He was
told to report occasionally to the
agent, or he would be arrested. It
is likely that Mr.. Ambuhl got scared;
instead OF seeing his friends and get
ting matters fixed up, as could have
been done, he left the city. A search
did not disclose him, so warrant
was issued for his arrest. He has
not as yet been found.
The shortage as first discovered
was $51ee After feavvii1ng this city,
Ambuhl went to Swanville and COL
loected bills amounting to $6S.
Bills at Royalton, supposed to be
due, we're found to have been paid,
making the total shortage $658.5O.
We understand Mr.. Ambuhl said
much OF the shortage was due to
carlessness in bookkeeping. The
real reason is this-Mr. Ambuhl was
too fond OF cards, and was the VIC
tim OF those who knew his weakness,
1t would have been better if he had
stayed, and it is yet probable that
the matter will be arranged The
trouble falls heavily on his wife, an
estima ble lady, and her two child
rem, and is cause Of great regret to
his many friends.
