anese adopted European methods and
models that an enterprising Buddhist
has adapted the bicycle to serve the
needs of the praying wheel as used by
the followers of his creed. Instead Of
attaching the written prayer to the
customary wheel which is generally
turned by a convenient stream of run
ming water, the new vogue is to fix the
prayer to the hub of the bicycle wheel,
so that the faster the rider can pedal
the better he can pray. Although there
appears to be spice Of sacrilege in the
practice, it is apparently catching on.

are already preparing machines with
Buddhist collects embossed on the

BIRMINGHAM SKILL.
Out by a Local Firm Which Is Per-

That Birmingham is fast developing
into manufacturing center there can
be no doubling. Yesterday upon invita-
ton of the Hood Machine company.
State Herald reporter went to their plant
on First avenue and was shown piece
of machinery which is complete in de-
tails and exact In workmanship. 1t is
an electric mining locomotive designed
for use in coal. and ore mines for haul
ing ores to the surface from the bowels
of the earth and to take the place of mule
power
The engine was designed by G. f.
Perrin. e. E., and built by the above
named company under supervision of
Mr.. Eugene Watson. 1t is sixty horse
power, and in a pinch can be used rs a.
ninety horse power locomotive. Its weight
is seven tons and sets upon four wheels,
each pair OF wheels having an individual
motor of thirty horse power The oper-
ating mechanism is different to that on
locomotives already built for such work
and tbs operator can use the motor brake,
whose brake and trolley pole without
arising from his seat. A headlight is
placed on either end The motor is built
to travel six to eight miles per hour and
can go faster. It is an excellent piece
of work and will be at once put in SER

and surgery in any college. that giant
among men, Prof. Edward e Phelps NJ.
D., LII. D., of Dartmouth College, who
after years of patient investigation and
study. assisted by all that was best in
the progress of medical science at home
and abroad. first discovered the worGer-
full formula Of Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest that
would be awakened at once by the an
nouncement of any discovery by Prof.
Phelps. The formula from the first was
furnished to the best physicians, and
forthwith this remarka BILE Paine's celery
compound was personally used and pro-
fessionally prescribed by them. The re-
suit of the closest investigation might
have been expected. 1t soon required a
considerable industry to produce the rem
edy, and rapidly but steadily, without
ceasing, the demand for Paines celery
compound has increased uatil today there
is no other remedy that in compa rison
begins to hold half the public attention
that it holds.
In untold numbers of cases where every
other remedy has been tried and failed
Paine's celery compound has attained
the wished-for results, making the weak
strong, purifying the blood, rebuilding

particular organ.
When Mr. Graham, writing Jan. IS,
1897. said: Il have used Paine's celery
compound to my benefit. and I have no
doubt that any person undergoing great
physical and mental strain would find it
of great service. For students especially
it ought to be Of great value. When so
prominent a student of bodily health
who has no equal, unless, perhaps, one
mentions DR.. Sargent of Harvard, with
whose methods Mr.. Graham became well
acquainted at Harvard-when Mr. Gra-
ham says bluntly that after his expe-
Renee he believes others would find
Paine's celery compound of great service
what man or woman ont of perfect health
can afford to neglect his well considered
and expert advice?
There is no doubt that Paine's celery
compound cleans the blood of eczema,
salt rheum and such humors, not only
in the spring, that is so favorable a. time
but at any time during the year, so thor
oughly that nothing further is ever heard
of them.
Pains's celery compound has been test
ed, tried. scrutinized and heartily APP
proved by so many impartial physicians
and men and women whose word in any
matter would not be questioned for ~
moment, that ore must be stubborn
minded indeed who prefers to nope
around half sick instead of verifying
these positive, straightforward state
ments.

OVER THE TELEPHONE.

Remenyi Entertains Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Kinley-Coming to Birmingham This
Week.
Edouard Remenyi, the violnist had a
very delightful experience recently. He
was visiting in the home of Mr.. H. Fl.
Kohlsaat of Chicago. proprietor Of the
Chicago Times Herald and Chicago
Evening Post. when. after dinner, it was
suggested that ii would be a pleasant
thing TO call up Presidsnt-elect McKin-
ley over the long distance telephone and
have Remenyi play for him and his wife /;
so Canton and the Mckinley home was
called up and the suggestion made. The
reply came that Mrs. Mckinley and the
president-elect would be delighted. The
great maestro placed himself in front of
the receiver of the phone and played
two numbers. The reply came back
from Canton that they heard it perfectly
and were enraptured with the beautiful
strains, and they thanked the great art
list over and over again for the novel mu-
steal treat furnished them.
In writing to his manager, Mr.. Thearle,
about r, the great virtuoso describes the

follows: Have played last night to Mai.

spectacular productions, but 1t was for
Palmer Cox,s Brownies. to win the
laurels Expectation had been at a
high tension, and despite March show
ers and advanced prices, the three per-
formances were very largely attended,
especially the matinee, to which regular
night prices. were charged, and to which
reserved seats were obtainable.
The production is what might be term
ed a scenic extravaganza. with much
of the spectacular attached. The only
difference between The Brownies" and
other extravaganzas is the fact that it
is entirely dessimilar. To those familiar
with such performances the explanation
is sufficient
e THE Brownies" are a race of people,
OmythologicaD, made famous by Palmer
Cox. With Frank Deshon az their leader
and such people as Ida Brook, Sol Solo
mon, Stella Madison, Fred Runnsls,
Walhe Clarke, Tom Collins, and others,
TO assist. the impression is complete.
Marie Celestl and Ida Mule and Rob-
ert Brederick were in the cast. with 9TH
ers. whose forms were graceful and
pleasing to look upon.
The Oriental ballet, comprising beauti-
full women of shapely proportions, was a
remarkable conception of the master
hand The music was en Hanting and
the movements of the dances of a truly

well received, being entirely new.
