Bow Lett Are Ksaaalaed by
Poatoflea TbJotss.
Do you see this letter, torn here
in the middle of this side? What
do you suppose did it? Done by
the etring that is used to tie np
the bundle of letters in the mail
bag? That is what almost every
one thinks, but it isn't the fact.
It is done by I'ostotlice thieves.
I got that straight from the Post
master of a large city not very far
from here. It is a shrewd trick to
leceive the nin who receives the
letter. He kuows that after tbe
letters have been collected at the
otlicethey are put through tbe
stamping machine, which cancels
the stamp and prints tne post
mat k at the same time. Then
they are sorted out according to
their destination, and all those
coingtothe same place and tied
up in ouu bundle, They have a
pe uliar way of tying them, used
at all postottices. They ure rather
tine string, and it is put around
the bundle twice, one, around the
ends. The letters are not all of the
same size. $ome are no longer
than others, and some are in
square envelopes, while others are
in meom-iasuionea long envelopes.
This being so, it follows that if
the string is drawn tight, as it
must be to bold the letters to
gether, some of the larger letters
will be cut on the side or end by
the string. Tbe Postoffice thieves
know this as well as any one eUe
and so when they wish to find out
it there is any money in an ei
velope they simply tear it a little
on the Bide or the end. Almost
any Postmaster considers it
favor if a man getting such a letter
will take it to him. ibey always
make an endeavor to trace such
letters, and then watch if other
letters coming over the same
route are torn in the same way
You can usually tell whether the
letter was really torn by the string
or by hand, for the string will
wear and fray the edges before it
cuts into the letter itself. St,
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Toronto, Ont., Nov. 24. The
report of the bureau of industries
hows the grain vield in Ontario
this year as extraordinarily large
Wheat and oats are above the
average. The crop of wheat,
spring and fall, is estimated at
62,684,026 bushels nearly half as
much again as the crop ol la'JU
The oat-crop exceeds that of last
year vy more than 22,000,000
bushels, while the average per
acre is the highest in ten years
The root crop is enormous, but
potatoes are much damaged by
rot. The acreage of barley sown
is 144,000 less than last year, yet
tbe crop is 541,737 bushels larger,
owing to tbe great yield, ibe
average sown in wheat this fall is
lo per cent, greater than that
sown in 18!H), but the prospects of
tbe yield are hardly as good

The Southern Pacific's Collier
Wrecked Off Victoria.
Sam Francisco, Nov. 24. Vice
President Crocker, of the South
ern 1 aeilic company, states in
advices show that the collier San
Pedro, ashore oil" Victoria, had a
largd hole in her side, and from
the reports he feared she might be
lost. 1 be coal had been taken on
from the Union colliery in British
Columbia, in which place the
steamer had run while the com
pany we waiting for tho water to
subside in the le.rently Hooded
Carbonado mines. This was the
San Pedro's first trip to the Union
colliery. Her coal was of a
superior quality and was valued
at s24,000. There is no ins'irance
on the steamer or cargo. The .'an
Pedro was valued at 3'0,OOU. If
the vessel goes to pieces she will
be the third steam c illier lost by
the Pacific Improvement Com
pany. The Ban 1'ed o was one of
the finest vessels of hc-r clans, and
her losj would be severely felt by
the Southern Fa-itie I out iianv, in

of supplying coal for the corpora

A Woman Who Once Astonished

London, Nov. 24 The all ab

Abbott, the magetic woman from

American woman been so widely
discussed or advertised. The

about her, each vieing with the
other in giving an alleged solution
of her mysterious powers, and
even the Times has had long,
ponderous arti.-les day by day.

enough to engage Mrs. Abbott for
$100) a week is turn:ni hundreds
of people away nightly. Sandow,

and the trial will probably come

The business from Lead

which was desttoyed by tbe floods
of two vears ago, have been re
