SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
Calmuck TartarS.

Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
Calmuck Tartars.
Finally II you spend most of your time,
as did, among the natives on the hurri-
cane deck your attention will be attracted
by a third class Of worshipors-namely,
the Calmuck Tartars, who live In felt
tents or kibitkas (keo-bset .kas) along tho
lower Volga, and who wander, with great
herds of cattle and camels, over the steppes
Of eastern Europe and western Asia. These
fiat faced, i'll looking nomads are all Bud
dhists, and not only do they pray, but they
may fairly claim the credit Of having re-
duced devotion to science
Praying five times a day, as the AIoham-
medans do, or even twice u day, after the
custom Of tho fire worshpers, seems to
have been too severe tax upon the ener-
gics of tho original Buddhists, and they
set their ingenuity at work to devise some
means Of lessenng the labor. The first ex-
pedient that occurred to them was teach
ing parrots to pray and then claiming the
credit Of the prayers thus said by proxy.
This answered the purpose very well at
first. But teaching parrots was trouble
some, and besides that, the parrots in
spite of all precautions would occasionally
pick up scraps of profane learning, which
they intermingled with their deyotions in
manner not at all edifying. So the
Buddhists finally abandoned the instruc-
ton Of parrots and calling in the aid Of
applied science invented the prayer wheel.
Nobody, 1t seems to Inc, but tho LATEST
of Asiatics would ever have thought Of in
PRODUCING labor saving machinery into the
realm Of the spiritual. But the Buddhsts
not only thought of it, but put the idea
promptly into execution. The prayer
wheel used by the Calinuck Tartars on
the lower Volga is a small wooden cylin-
der 9 or inches in length and about 3
inches In diameter, turning upon YER
tical axis, the lower end of which is ex-
tended and thickened to form a handle.
This cylinder is stuffed full of short, writ
ten prayers, and every time it is turned
upon its axis all the prayers that it con.
tains arc regarded as duly said. Could
anything be more simple or satisfactory?
There Is no shutting of the eyes, no get
ting down on the knees in uncomfortable
positions, no facing in any particular d.
rection. All that the supplicant has to do is
to give his wheel twirl and 1t grinds out
prayers with rapidity and nuency which
leave nothing to be desired But from
an occidental point of view the whole per-
formance is, of course, an absurdity. /
could feel some respect for the prayers of
the Mohammedans and Of the fire worship
ers, but the wooden wheels Of the Calmuck
Tartars excited only contemptuous amuse-
ment.-Gcorge KEENAN, in Independent.

DIDN'T WANT THE HOPS.

The Grower Evidently Knew q Good
Thing When He Saw 1t.
This hop story is "too good to keep"
and it is true to tho letter A few years
ago q Burlington hop grower came into che
office of our neighbor, A. Lane, with Il
sample of his hops, just harvested and
baled. He asked if he was buying hops.
Yes, he was. Tho sample was then shown
and the question asked what would he
give for them.
"They are SO poor" said Mr.. Lane,
"thGt can make you no offer for them"
II know they are little off color, " said
the grower. But certainly you can pay
something for them. Make ne an offer. "
"No, really cannot There is no mar
ket for such hops"
Cant you give mo 10 cents for them2"
II cannot
"Nell, that's rather tough. But you
can tell Inc what 1 better do with the
hops"
my advice to you is this: Do not show
that sample TO any one else. 1t will give
your hops bad name. But go home, keep
quiet about them, and the first buyer that
comes along and makes you an Offer don't
talk about tho hops, but take him up at
once"
1t was about this time that Mr. Lane
had employed new and rather inexperi-
cnced man, who, however, was hop grow
or, to go out and buy him 100 bales OF
really choice hops at not over IS cents.
A few days later tho Burlington grower
drove up to the Iron Clad on load Of hops
and shouted out, II say, Mr.. Lane, where
will you have these hops takeny'
What hops-not those you offered t.
sell mei''
"Sartin sure, squire, the same hops"
"But did not buy thcm:'
True but your agent did, and sup
posed there must have been II pretty BIZ
rise in q few days"
Take them down to our storchouse and
come in for your money!
This was DONE ard then Mr.. Lano said
to his Burlington customer: Here is your
check. have done you favor, and now
will give you the opportunity to do M
one"
What is it? I'd like to accommodate
you if can"
at is this: You draw the money on this
check, deposit it to your credit, give me
your check for half tho money and then
draw your hops away and sell them to
some one clse-perhaps for lG cents. "
"Thank you, squire. But | believe
don't want to buy those hops. "-Coopers.

Compare the situation of this empire with

All the influences of civilization from west
and east arc focused, so to speak, upon a
political and social organism which is not
only wonderfully receptive, but which also
displays the capacity of reaction In its own

history of genius and seeing how largely 1t
belongs to the people as distinguished
from what may somewhat irreyercntly be
called the blooded stock Of nation one
feels like inquiring how deeply into the
substratc of human life in Japan the alien
influences have penetrated. When these
reach tho depths where folk tradition turks
and the popular imagination slumbers,
then the world may well look for a reac-
ton in which the nation will show all that
it is capable of in literature

AN AFRICAN LEGEND. ,ss .-...
Tho Story of How the Monkey Came to
BE Created.

Tho Story OF How the Monkey Came to
BE Created.
Negro legends and interpretations of
Striptlre Gre often extremely ingenious
and even poetical, and it frequently hap
pens that when the makers of traditions
and folklore happen to have African blood
in their veins they rely entirely upon their
inspirations and imaginptions. 1t Is in
this wise that their account Of the creation
of the monkey was constructed. This
story runs us follows:
After God had made man, the devil re-
garded this new creation with great deal
of interest and admiration and was filed
with an ambition to do something Of that
kind himself He therefore studied the
form and features of the human being
which had been recently placed upon the
earth, and set to work with great earnest
ness to make living creature which
should, as nearly as possible, resemble
man, but he did not try to make his work
quite as large as his model, wisely think
ing he would better begin with something
on smaller scale The result of his la
bors was tho monkey.
This animal was good deal like q man,
but he failed in some important particu-
lars to resemble the original. One of these
was his inability to speak, and the devil
tried to remedy this fault but found it
impossible. He also discovered that his
little man did not possess the intelligence
of the larger being he lad tried to initiate,
and disguised with the impossibilty of
making his monkey speak or of impress
ing upon his mind that he should act as
reasonable being, he gave up tho attempt
In despair, and in order to compensate the
creature he had made for the great fail
ures in his construction, he gave him q
tail This would not enable him to speak,
nor would it bestow upon him the intel
ligence he should have, but it would BIO
avery great help to him in getting through
life, and this the little burlesque of man
as doubtless found to BIO true. Youths
