PRAYING BICYCLES.
Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the
Hubs of Their Machines.

Japanese Attach Prayer Wheels to the
Hubs of Their Machines.
The bicycle is now employed to aid
the pious Buddhist in praying with
greater ease, but yet, as he hopes, with
great effect. 1t is from the ingenious
and enterprising country Of Japan that
this new departure is reported.
The Buddhist has always done his
praying with the assistance of a wheel
The prayers are placed inside the wheel.
which turns round, following the d.
rection of the sun, and delivers up to
heaven the prayers of the owner, or of
all whose thoughts are fixed upon it.
Some enormous wheels are capable of
praying for thousands of people. This
mode of worship may seem somewhat
irresponsible to western people, but the
Buddhist, who is a subtle reasoner,
would be able to explain why it is sat-
isfactory.
In various parts of the vast territory
in which the Buddhist faith is held
different motive powers are used in
these prayer wheels Some humble per-
sons turn the wheel by hand but not
if they can help it. On the hills Of
Tibet, great stronghold of pure
Buddhism, the wheels are usually so
built that the wind turns them. In 9th
er places they are moved by water pow
er.
But it is obvious that wind must fail
occasionally and that this may happen
when the Buddhist is particularly in
need of copious prayer. Water power,
too, is often lacking.
So the ingenious Jap now attaches a
small prayer wheel to the hub of his
bicycle, and when he takes a ride he
combines worship with recreation. By
giving glance at his pedometer he can
tell just how much praying he has DONE
He can also keep an accurate daily rec
ord, which will enable him to tell after
a number of years just how much pray
er stands to his credit In this way
Buddhism seems to have given zest
to bicycling which no other religion
can supply. New York Journal

RAKED UP HIS LATIN.


And Succeeded In Unearthing Terms That
Startled the Waiter.
A western lawyer went into the
Planters cafe few days ago. He had

his college days in the east was we'll

rants. But out in his new home he had
forgotten about soup au pot gras and
pomme de terre la duchesse The fact
that he could not read some of the deli
cacies on the menu exasperated him.
and he proceeded to have fun with the
waiter.
Nothing here that I'd care for. -
said he to the claw hammered attendant

he could please his customer before he
got through with him.
Have you sine qua non?''
The waiter stared.
"No-o-o, SIR" he answered.
What about bonmots! Have you
any?''
"No. sir"
''Then let me have some nice ignis

year
"We haven't got i$"
Bring me some tempus fugit then. I"
"That's out, too, sir. -
"You must have pluribus unum. !"
This time the waiter locked bright.
"I've heard them speak about it in the
kitchen. I'll go and see. -
He came back empty handed and de-
jected "We haven't got it," he SIAM
mered.
'Strange that can't get any of these
seasonable things. Try once more and
find out if they have pro bono publico. "
''I'll call Mr.. Weaver said the
waiter, almost crazy by this time.
Perhaps he can tell what you want"
The guest from the west caught him
by the coattails.
"All right" said he, land i'll the
meantime bring me some roast beef and
fried potatoes.

his delight at hearing of something that
was obtainable, and he flew off to the
kitchen and came back with the beef
and the potatoes and Landlord Weaver
in the wake.

The flying fish Of the Atlantic attains
a length Of nearly one foot and breadth
between wing tips Of IL inches. He
has round, compact body, about about
one inch in diameter near the pectoral
fins or wings. There is also an auxil-

nearly so large as the pectoral pair.
The wings are formed by thin, trans

cate bony framework and are either,
black, white or notified with both.
The upper half of the entire fish is a

organization of literary and debating
si,ib- 1t is society within the Asso-

membership.
Its purpose is to secure for those who
desire to join it the opportunity Of be-
coming better acquainted with parli-
mentary rules aud usages and to become
skilled in the art of debate. 1t will be
organized and carried on according to
the most approved methods OF debating
societies. It's aim is for the instruction
and training of young men. Only sem
sible and instructive discussions will be
allowed. Occasionally open sessions,
where specially prepared programs are
arranged, will be given, when the public
will be invited to attend This society
is to be established to meet much felt
need. Few persons outside of schools
and colleges have an opportunity OF
learning to speak before AN audience or
pubic meeting, not because they lack
the ability but tecause they have never
learned how. For sneli this club is de-
