SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among
the Ka1muCk Tartars.

Finally, if you spend most of your
time as did among the natives on the
hurricane deck, your attention will be
attracted by third class of Worship
ers. namely. the KalmucE Tartars. who
live in felt tents or kibitkas (kee-beet-
kas) along the lower Volga, and who
wander with great herds of cattle and
camels. over the steppes Of Eastern
Europe and Western Asia. These fiat
faced. Unlocking nomads are all Bud
dhsts; and not only do they pray, but
they may fairly claim the credit Of hav-
ing reduced devotion to science. Pray
ing five times a day, as the Mohamme-
dams do. or even twice day, after the
custom of the fire worshipers, seems to
have been too severe tax upon the
energies of the original Buddhists, and
they set their ingenuity at work to de-
wise some means Of leSsening the labor.
The first expedient that occurred to
them was teaching parrots to pray and
then claiming the credit Of the prayers
thus said by proxy. This answered the
purpose very we'll at first; but teaching
parrots was troublesome, and besides
that the parrots, In spite of all precau-
tons, would occasionally pick up
scraps of profane learning. which they
intermingled with their devotions In a
manner not at all edifying. So the
Buddhsts finally abandoned the In
struction of parrots and calling In the
aid of applied science invented the
prayer wheel. Nobody. it seems to me,
but the LATEST of Aslatics would ever
have thought of introducing labOr-sav-
ing machinery into the realm of the
spiritual: but the Buddhists not only
thought of it, but put the idea promptly
into execution. The prayer wheel used
by the Kalmuck Tartars on the Lower
Volga is a small wooden cylinder six
or eight inches in length and about two
inches in diameter, turning upon IL YER
teal axis. the lower end of which is eX-
tended and thickened to form han
die. This cylinder is stuffed full OF
short, written prayers and every time
it is turned upon its axis all the prayers
that it contains are regarded as duly
said. Could anything be more simple
or satisfactory! There is no shutting
of the eyes, no getting down on the
knees in uncomfortable positions, no
facing in any particular direction. All
that the prayer has to do is to give his
wheel a twirl and 1t grinds out prayers
with rapidlty and fluency which
leaves nothing to be desired. But from
an Occidental point of view the whole
nerformonce is. of course, an absurdi'
tv 7 could feel some respect for the
prayers of the Mohammedans ana OF
the fire worshipers. but the WOODEN
wheels of the Kalmucll Tartars excited
only contemptuous amusement.--lhde'

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER..

'0Scc OF powring, 1Iortirs e. Co. Chicago
q ri o Trade Brokers, 71l-7ll Chamber OF Com
i.-.,c Building, Portland, Orcgon.l
Exports of -four and wheat from both
costs last week were 4, 595, 900 BUSH
els, or 700 600 bushels more than the
rievio"s week, and double the same
week last year. Receipts are expected
to fall off We have now reached the
time where the exports generally de-
crease; at least they have in the past
years, as the first six months of the
crop year generally marks the largest
export business. There is every indi-
cation, however, of Il good export move
ment from now on, as liberal engage.
ments have been for wheat, corn and
oats. Foreigners continue to buy mod
erately when the market gets weak, so
that the outward movement will grad
ually cut into the wheat stocks. which
are none too heavy if the exports are to
keep up large. Argentine news favors
an exportable surplus of about 80, 000,-
600 bushels, but some good authorities
make it only 5000, 900 bushels. This
is used as a club by the bears and con-
sumers to prevent an advance here.
There will be no Argentine wheat avail
able in European markets before the
latter part of March. In the meantime
their light stocks will be reduced, and
they Will have to come in as buyers.
The American visible supply of wheat
increased this week AZ 900 bushels, and
now totals 3S, S63, 900 bushels against
53, 900 bushels for the correspond
ing period a year ago. Although the
movement of corn for 1897 was 49,
IA .nG0 bushels, and the shipments
81 427 900 bushels an increase in the
receipts Of "a 100000 bushels and in
10000, 900 bushels in the shipments,
they were less than the arrivals of oats,
receipts OF the latter being 1,33S,00
bushels in excess OF corn, while the
shipments We're 7,O00,000 bushels
greater, aggregating l04, 666, 900 BUSH
els. The feeling in corn and oats is
bullish. There is strong disposition
on the part of many local traders to
keep on the long side. The Trego-
Smith people have accumulated big
line, and they are getting quite a fol-
lowing. Exports OF corn for the week
were heavy.

his club foot touched the ground, while
the other, the strong one, was doubled

Bill, as he started to leave, "I'll be back

sOlute unconsciousneSS of the existence
of any such disturbing affairs as cy-
clones. AS Il result of his injuries ut
the time, Joe was "club footed through
the whole of his life and his right
forearm had big knot on it. and a
crook that made his right hand turn
out when it should have turned in. 1t
is said that Joe was proud of his de-
formities rather than otherwise, pre-
sumably because they had been incur
red in the defense of his baby brother,
and that Bill was, for the most part,
tenderly regardful of the brother who
had sacrificed health and almost life
for him.
Naturally enough. Bill was the more
prosperous Of the two. Before ne was
30 he owned considerable bunch" of
cattle, and leased quite body of land
In the eastern part of Baylor County
as a ranch. Joe was his line rider, and
in that capacity was able to do great
deal of such work as did not require
any very great amount of mere muscu-
lar strength. Everything worked
smoothly with them until May Conley
came to live with married brother
of hers who lived only few miles from
the Savage ranch. She was not a high
ly educated girl, by any means, and 1t
is doubtful If she was more than fairly
intelligent; but she was pretty and she
was tickle-and that tells the whole
story. In this case Joe was the first
victim. He met May at one of the big
camp meetings that are common in
that country in the fall of the year, and
after that he was very pronounced in
months. Then his attentions ceased as
suddenly and abruptly as they had be-
gun. People noticed this and they
also noticed that just about that time
Bill began going to see her.
bill took 1t up just where Joe laid
1t down." remarked one cowboy to an
other during one of the intervals in a
dance on one occasion.
"Naw, that amt it," responded his
friend. II think Joe laid it down just
where Bill took it up"
One day as the two brothers and one
or two others were engaged in brand.
ing some of Bills yearlings the subject
was brought up.
"Sure enough, Joe, whatever made

helpers, In jocose way.

County, Texas. Jim Smith is the man
who first told me this story. Joe Saw
age Is buried on the banks of Plum
Creek, and on his wooden headboard
you can still decipher the inscription:
HE Loved Mutch."
The Scripture had to be instructed
to suit the gender of the pronoun and
the spelling is slightly PECULIAR but
can not help thinking the inscription
a good one. Many people consider love
very good thing, and Prof. Drum
mond has written book to prove that
1t is The Greatest Thing in the World.
If these estimates are correct Joe Saw
age was certainly great and good
man; for greater love hath no man than
this, that he lay down his life for his
friend.-Utica Globe.

does not refer TO
the time when the Indians were in the
| country. although that time Is by no
means so far distant as to be beyond
the memory of living man; nor does 1t
imply anything especially wild and fe-
rocious about the character of the men
in question. 1t merely goes back to the
first half of the sos, when two brothers
of that name were among the promi-
nent inhabitants of that sparsely set
tied district. In some countries events
Of that period would be considered
comparatively modern, but in Western
Texas they are ranked as strictly an
cicnt history.
1t seems. from a careful survey of the
facts in the case, that neither of the
brothers was really a had man at heart,
Notwithstanding the fact that a great
many people who ought to know are
strongly inclined to think otherwise
1t is certain that one of them is as true
a man as ever trod the soil of Texas, or
any other State, for that matter. All
who knew him agree that the final year
OF his life, at any rate, was year of
such courage and self sacrificing hero
ism as one reads of in books, but sell
dom looks for in real life. The people
of West Texas are not much prone to
hero worship. and whenever they agree
that man of their acquaintance IS
above the average of mortality there Is
very likely to be some basis for the be-
lief. Judging merely from physical APP
pcarancCS, one would have had little
trouble in deciding which of the two
men would be more likely to prove of
heroic mold. Bill, the younger, was n
man of magnificent physique, not I'M
duly large. but with muscles of such
herculcan strength as perfect air and
the free life of Western cowboy are
apt to impart. He was light-compleX-
Toned and Is said to have possessed Il
vigorous, manly couirenancc, such as
ought to have made him more success
full in his love affairs than he really
was. Joe, on the other hand. was as
much a picture of weakness and de-
fornty as his brother was of health
and strength. He was not only a peak
eu-la'cu, SlcIiucI SIP Vi Il llIdli, Dul he
was a cripple as well. When he was 5
years old and Bill was only 3, a cyclone
had struck the log house in which the
boys and their parents were living. The
mother and father were killed, but
when the neighbors came to look
through the ruins of the cabin they
found Joe crouchcd on the bed with his
limbs spread out in such manner as
to protect his baby brother. A heavy
log had fallen across his right foot and
right wrist, crushing them both very
badly. but Bill was still sleeping in alb

Death at Canton, Ohio,

Canton, Ohio, is in a state of great pr.
element over the murder of George D
Saxton. the brother Of Mrs. Mckinley, tba
Presidents wife. Mrs. Anna c. George
was arrested on suspicion of being the
murderess. Saxton was shot down short
ly after dark by a woman in front of the
house Of Mrs. Eva B. AlthOuse, a friend
of Saxton, and widow, who not long ago
instituted peace proceedings against Mrs,
George, alleging that she had threatened
her with violence and death. SaXt0ns
lifeless body was found PROSTATE on the
ground, with three bullet wounds in it.
Neighbors' descriptions of the woman
who shot Saxton tailed with that of Mrs.
George. She is a tall, graceful woman,
more than ordinarily good looking and
not yet middle aged.
Saxton was one of the successful bus-
ness men of Canton. and was possessed Of
considerable property. He was 80 years
old The murder is supposed to be the
outcome of trouble of long standing be-
tween Saxton and the George family
