PrayinE by Machinery,

In most of the villages ure found
a quantity of praying-whee1s or cyl
inders, erected by pious Buddhists, and
it is an act of religion to turn these
wheels in passing. This not only bene-
fits the soul of the founder, and helps
him to attain Nirvana, but also the
soul of the traveller, as every act of
charity meets it's reward in future
state. The lamas usually carry pray
ing-wheels, which they are perpetual
ly turning in sign of prayer, while the
common people make frequent use of
them. This custom of praying by ma
chinery is thoroughly characteristic of
a land where all is weird, fantastic and
topsy-turvy, and in which the newcomer
seems to live in a dream Of unreality.
One can sympathize with the traveller
who tells us that he would not have
been surprised to learn that in Tibet
as In Gulliver's country of Laputa, some
ingenious person had contrived new
method of building houses, by begin
ming at the roof and working downward
to the foundation. Times Of India.

was put on the unstamped letter and
the balance of the money applied to the
United States sinking fund.
On one occasion a child's book was
received. It had been sent as mer-
chandise, but on the fly leaf a girls
name had been written, which is con-
trary to the postal regulations, and it
was therefore held. At the bottom of
the first page was also written: 'Look
on page 129." Turning to the page
indicated the clerk found crisp two

Sometimes things get little mixed
up by the employees of the post office,
but not often, for the positions of the
clerks depend upon their correctness.
However, an error now and then does
creep in. n case, of this kind occurred
once when two packages, almost alike,
came in at the same time. Both were
in bad order, and in trying to fix them
in proper shape the clerk got the wrap
pers mixed. One package contained an
alligator and the other roses. Nobody
knew which was which so they just
made guess of it, aud put a note in
the alligator box to- the effect: IF you
are expecting a box of roses, write to
Miss -, of - -, . and in the box Of
roses they wrote a few lines like this:
@'If you are expecting an alligator, write

authorities did not hear of the matter

PRESIDENT RECUPERATING.
His Visit to Hot Springs Is Improv-
ing His ConditiOn-Pleased Mt
News from Samoa.

Hot Springs, Va, May 1.-The re-
assuring news forwarded from Apia by
Admiral Kautz was a source of relief
to the president. The extent to which
he is being allowed freedom from off,
cial cares is evidenced by the fact that
not even this welcome information was
forwarded to him, his knowledge of the
fact being given through the press rep
resentative here. The president ex-
pressed his pleasure over the renewed
assurances that the Samoan situation is
so peaceful. With the tripartite COM
mission now at the islands, further
bloodshed is not anticipated.
Whether it is the effect of his abso-
lutte relaxation from duties, the dry at
mosphere, or the result of his medic
NAL bath, this treatment having been
begun. Wednesday, or of them all, the
president is recuperating rapidly. A
gentleman who has known him for
many years, after seeing him, said that
he never knew the president to appear
to be in better health. His color, he
explained, was an apparent statement
of facts in itself.

1t was issued in New York and drawn
on post office in the state of Washing
ton. The department here wrote on
to the postmaster there, and when the
answer came back strange tale was
unfolded. 1t appears that the man who
RENTED the order was also the payee.
That is, he had drawn the order, which
was for considerable sum, while he
was in New York, and made it payable
to himself in his native western town
as a safe way of transmitting the cash
across the continent. While in Chi
cago he was sandbagged and robbed.
The thug saw the money order was of
no use to him, so he dropped it in the
letter box. The western postmaster
wrote that he believed the mans story,
for the reason that his face bore every
evidence that he had been assaulted.

Especial Chicago Letter.1

OF course people try to send live
frogs and toads and strawberry
jam and such things through the
mails. But Uncle Sam objects. That's
why there's an inquiry division in
the Chicago post office. It was for
the purpose of intercepting this
unavailable matter and rectifying odd
plumbers that the department was in
augurated. The storage room with its
vast array of merchandise of all de-
scriptions resembles a curiosity shop
more than anything else. All kinds of
articles, some improperly directed and
some unavailable, are stored away there.

again, SO in all proba bilities the guess
came ont all right. ..
About one Of the most ridiculous err
rors was made by a woman in Mobile
who imagined that one of the employees
in the Chicago, post Office was writing
her a personal letter, when he had
simply sent her the regulation notice
informing her that letter she had
written was being held for postage.
It all came about in this way: The
woman had answered an advertisement
requesting 'lady correspondent"
She had sent her letter unsealed with
out any stamp Ill some way it had
been overlooked and came through the
mails till it reached Chicago. Here it
was turned over TO the inquiry departs
ment. The clerk promptly notified the
sender. She thought it was an answer
to her letter by the man who had adj
vertised for correspondent. This is
what she wrote: "'-''....''' 'h".

Among the advertisements in the Enquirer

your approval and a hasty reply, remain

1t is perhaps unnecessary to say that
Uncle Sans prudent young man evaded
this attempt to open a correspondence
with the Mobile belle, and explained to
her in plain language the whole situa-
ton.
The criminal classes have frequently
used the postal service for returning
stolen property. Now because thief
sometimes returns property for which
he has no use, it isn't always an indica-
ton that he is about to reform. It may
simply show that he has an idea of be-
ing half way square. 1t isn't always
convenient for him to send back papers
that are of no value to anyone but the
owner, but some of the more ingenious
members of the light-fngered gentry
have discovered way that is both safe
and easy. It consists of dropping a
purse or other stolen article, after, of
course, denuding it of all suspicion of
money, in the nearest mail box. The
inquiry division does the rest. 1t is by
no means an uncommon occurrence for
the mail collectors to gather up wallets
and packages of papers that have been
dropped in the boxes by thieves. Some
times the addresses are attached and
the articles are at once returned to the
owners. If there is no clew as to the
ownership they are held subject to fu-
ture developments.
A short time ago one of the collect
ors brought in money order that he
