The Portland packipg Compony

About a hundred persons are engaged at the
Portland Packing Compapy's office on York
street, being about half the forcs usually en-
ployed in stirring times. Their new brick
building with granite foundations, commenced
early in the summer, bat now entirely finished,
is fine business ediflce and arrests the atten-
tion OF all passing through the locality. The
structure is of brick, measures 92x1S7 feet, is
three stories 10 height. has a oapacious base
msnt, and fiat, graveled roof. At the west
ern end OF the building, near the principal
entrance, are the offices, handsomely finished,
well lighted and Supplied with commodious
decks and fixtures, while an old-.ashioned
ire place in the wall adds peculiar cheer-
fulness to the room. Immediately off the
counting room is a well-designed vault, prob
ably the largest to be found In any business
house In town; and directly in the rear of this
is the labelling apartment. The remaining
part OF the new building ia designed for the
storage Of canned goods, and estimates give it
capacity OF 75 600 cases. An iron curtain,
which can bs easily forced up into roll, opens
upon the entrance of driveway issuing from
the centre of the building aud continuing into
the street. An OILS elevator runs from all
the floors to the ground. This device to accel-
crate the shioment OF goods was suggested to
member OF the firm when on visit to the
business houses of Chicago. The foundation
of the building is very substantial one. At
the construction of the edifce holes were dug
in which were placed granite blocks eight
feet square and sixteen inches thick; then
brick work was extended in the form Of a pyr-
amid, coming to point with a surface of
twenty-four inches at the top. The brick
work was covered by block of iron and ths
supporting posts, thirty-two in number, were
placed On these blocks. The entire build
ing is heated by steam and is fitted with all
the modern plumbing conveniences. The works
In which the packing is done are situated di-
recty in the rear of the new building.

The town OF Deeiing is building at the foot
of Rocky Hill, MorrilPs Corner,a stone-crusher
for the purpose of supplying material for mac
adamizing the roads 1t is massive struct-
ure, built on an improved plan, by which carts
car be driven under the crusher and the stone
discharged into them through shoot, after
being sifted, the earth and debris being dis
charged through another shoot. Nine or ten
teams can be loaded in an hour in this way,
aad it effects great saving of expenses in the
hsDdling of the stone. The crusher is very ad-
vantsgec usly situated as regards the supply of
stone. On the hillside above it is great mass
Of broken boulders scattered about. sufficient

BY a short tramway from the hillside to the
TOP OF the crusher these rocks can be easily
transported to 1t. The town pays twenty five
eents yard for the stone.

poRrLAnps 3. PICKED TEAM Q.


The fact that the game between the new Portlands
and the picked team at the Bijou last evening,
promised to bs long and close ono drew quite an
audience. but it disappointing in both respects.
1t lasted only ten minutes and the Portlands cap
tured three straight goals. The Portlands played a
splendid game, making some fine passes and quick
plays. The picked team did not do themselves jus
tice They can play better game and if they ever
meet the Portlands aga n, it is hoped they may,
they will show different work.
The game was delayed somewhat at the start and
1t was nearly half past nine when the ball was start
Cd. After few seconds play it was passed so near
the Portland's goal that it was question whether
1t WAS a goal or not. Referee Orne decided 1t was
not and play vent on. In two minutes more rr
had made the goal for the PortaEds The next
goal was also won by Orr in three mnuUes In the
last goal there some lively playing at the Port
lands goal, which Norway guarded in an admirable
manner. The ball finally taken away from
there and Orr secured the goal after two and one
half minutes play Many expressed regret that
more Massachusetts "Science" VS. rot shown but
the maj riiy were very well satisfied. IL is more
satisfactory to see a goal and game by hard
work than by claiming fouls on the opposing club

season far less mackerel than the year before.
The pack Of @. A. Dyer & Co. is about 30, 600

At their factories in this city and Port Clyde,
Burnhsm & Morrill, have packed AZ, ,152 dozen

in pubic the more general religious and mis-
sionary aspects of his work in Llbernia, and his

BUDDHIST PRAYER MILLS.
Ingenuity of the Poor HouSoi in the
Arrangement OF Prayer Making Ma

cnlnery.
The Rev. James Gilman. in his book,
"Among the MonGols," gives the fol-
lowing account Of the prayer mills of
the Buddhist Mongols:
Nine out of every ten Mongols you
meet will have rosaries in their hands,
and be rapidly repeating prayers. The
efficacy depends not on the meaning,
but on the repetition of the prayer. 1t
is not, properly speaking praying ut all,
but repeating charms" But mouth
repetition is slow process, and to expe-
dite. matters q praying wheel has been
invented, into which are put large
number of printed prayers, Ghe wheel is
turned round, and, by this simple act,
all the prayers contained in the machine
are supposed to be repeated. This is q
wonderful acceleration. The wheel is
fitted on to handle, which man can
easily hold as he walks about; and
thus it comes that men may be met
while examining their cattle, or going
from one place to another, whirling
their prayer-wheels all the time.
In some tents there is stand in
which is placed large wheel, bearing
about the same relation to the hand
wheel as a family bible bears to apocket
bible. A thong is fixed to crank,
the inmates take their turn in pulling
it. If wrongly timed pull sends the
cylinder turning backward, according
to the Mongol idea it makes sin in place
of merit. In one house I saw wheel
placed over the fire and driven by an
upward current of hot air, after the
manner of roasting-jack. A com.
mon form of the praying wheel
is windmill set on lofty pole
high above the tent. When q strong
northwest gale springs up the machine
goes whirling round; and the poor
Mongol, as he shudders at the tempest,
in his tent below, is comforted, so far at
least, by the thought that the blast is
performing lot of prayers for him.
Sitting in tent once, heard behind
me curious clicking noise, and. look
ing round, found a praying wheel going
by machinery. The master Of the house,
being mechanical genius, had bought
an old clock in Chinese town, taken
out and rearranged the spring and
wheels, and made them drive cylinder
filled with prayers. When he got up in
the morning he simply took the key,
wound up the clock work, and then the
thing made prayers for the whole estab-
lishment.

While conversing with prison official
few days since, the question came up
as to which was most subduing in its
effects, solitary confinement and similar
methods, or the use of the strap. He
claimed that the latter was the most
effective, and gave the following Incl
dent rs illustrative of his theory: A
short time since burly convict, re-
Gently received under q five years SEN
tence, informed his keeper that he de-
clined to further waste his energies in
labor. He had concluded to knock of
permanently and rest during the bal
ance of his sentence. AS he made not
the least pretense of sickness or inca
pacity as an excuse for his conduct, he
was ordered strapped. This appeared
to strike him satisfactorily; he simply
remarked that was all right; he was
ready for the punishment, but it would
net influence him in the stand he had
taken an iota.
1t took Just six strokes of the strap
to convince him that his position on the
labor question WAS illogical and unten-
able. He begged to be released, and
declared that lie would take no further
part in the management of the prison.
The gentleman thought that this same
treatment applied to the degraded
species of tramps who fill our jails,
would have AN excellent effect. To fur
nish them with good food and lodging
at the expense of the county for ten or
fifteen days, he regarded as no punish
ment whatever.
