Stole the Strong Box

The Japanese fancy goods store of Quong

secured through the rear door. The

those sleeping inside the store, for after
trying unnecessarily to break the box
with a cleaver. they ran away and left the
article In the alley back Of the store.

Long Service.

A desert ption of the old New England
Sabbath is calculated to make restless
children of the present day and possibly
some Of their elders thankful they were
not born two centuries ago.
The Sabbath began Saturday after
noon with the going down Of the sun. !.
Sunday morning horn was loudly
blown to announce the hour of worship.
Service began at 9 o'clock and lasted
for eight hours, with an intermission of
one hour for dinner and conversation.
In the earliest days the congregation sat
on rude benches, their seats being as
signed them at town meeting. The
service consisted of several parts, which
are chronicled in an ancient diary as
follows:
Preliminary prayer or invocation;
chapter of Bible read and expounded;
psalm iB meter, read out line by line
by Deacon s.; long prayer on various
matters, one hour and a half; sermon
Of 100 to $50 pages; at close of service,
baptism; sinners put on trial, confessed
before congregation. Minister Q. bowed

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 inhabitants desire
to communicate with Great Britain they
employ the following curious device: A
man cuts the rough model Of boat
from a billet of wood, hollows it partly
out, places in the hollow tin or small
bottle containing letter, nails on a
deck, and when the wind is bl0 wing to-

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

DR.. Payson, the famous and beloved
preacher Of r aid, 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 a stranger in
town and had been advised to go to his
church
@Upon that, said Dr.. Payson, 81
made up my mind to preach my sermon
if nobody else came. y
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.. II 'clar, doctor, nebber herd a
better one. You see, I.had a seat pretty
well up front, an whenebber you'd say
somethin I'd jess look all roun, ter see

The Lungs and sleep.

A physician quoted by the Boston
Transcript says that acute insomnia
may be promptly cured by the practice
of deep breathing. Draw into the lungs
as much air as possible and do not ex-
hale it until obliged to, and then as
slowly as possible. 1t is somewhat of a
task when the night is oppressively
warm, but if persisted in is fairly sure
TO relieve that hyperamia of the brain
which everyday folk call wakefulness.
The tricks of the sleepless to induce
sleep are many, but none is found to be
more Immediately effcaclous than this
plan of forcing the lungs to take the
burden off the brain and nerves
