How Elizabeth Was Dressed.

the richest costumes adorned with bril-

rarest workmanship Even in her old age
she continued TO dress like young Girl

personal beauty she would smilingly &C.

Linseed Oil From Elaxseed.

Flaxseed oil, or linseed oil, Is obtained
by pressure from tho seed of fax. The
seeds are usually stripped from the dry
flax stalks, q handful at a time, through a
set OF iron teeth, standing In a row, half
an inch at the top and quarter of an inch
at the bottom. The seed bolls are then
well dried and thrashed and winnowed, to
remove the outside hull, or capsule, from
the seed. The latter are then ground in
mills and the powder Is subjected to power
ful hydraulic pressure, which extracts the
OIL Sometimes the seed is roasted before
grinding because the heat destroys the
gummy matter in the interior coating of
the seeds. The oil is therefore secured
more free from mucilage but It Ia of a
higher color and Of more acrid taste than
that expressed from the raw seed.-St
Louis Republic.

HOW BAILEY BEAT eARNUM.

BY the time that the Bailey circus
reached the east the whole country was

SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
Cs-muck Tartars.

/
| Finally If 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 worshipers-namely,
the Calmuck 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
fat faced, i'll looking nomads are oil Bud
dhists. and not only do they pray, but they
may fairy claim the credit OF having re
duced devotion 20 a science
Praying five times day as the Moham-
medans do, or even twice a day, after the
custom of the fire worshipers, seems TO
have been too severe a tax upon the ener'
gies of the original Buddhists, ana they
set their ingenuity at work TO devise some
means of lessening the labor The first ex.
pedient that occurred 10 them was teach
ing parrots 10 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, when
they intermingled with their devotions in
a HOl az an ~ VIZ
Buddhists finally abandoned the instruc.
ton of parrots and calling in the aid OF
applied science invented the prayer wheel.
Nobody, it seems TO me, but the LATEST
of Asiatics would ever have thought of in
producing labor saving 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 Calmuck Tartars on
the lower Nolga is small wooden cylin-
der or 8 inches in length and about 3
inches in diameter turning upon YER
teal axis the lower end of which is ex-
tended and thickened to form 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 di-
rection. All that the supplicant has to do is
10 give his wheel twirl and it grinds out
prayers with a rapidity and fluency which
leave nothing TO be desired. But from
an occidental point of view the whole per-
Torrance is, of course, an absurdity. |
could feel some respect for the prayers OF
the Mohammcdans and of the fire worship
ers, but the wooden wheels of the Calmuck
Tartars excited only contemptuous amuse-

The Coming Literary Genius.

The question is whether the coming gen.
Jus will be native to the east or to the
west, says j s. Tunison in The Atlantic
The case OF Japan makes the student Of
literature and literary possibilities pause.
Compare the situation of this empire with
that of England in the time of the Tudor
sovereigns. The likeness is noteworthy
All the influences of civilization from west
and east are focused, so to speak, upon q
political and social organism which is not
only wonderfully receptive, but which also
displays the capacity of reaction in its own
original clements. Looking back at the
history of genius and seeing how largely IL
belongs to the people us distinguished
from what may somewhat irrevcrcntly be
called the blooded stock of nation, one
feels like inquiring how deeply into the
substrate of human life in Japan the alien
influences have penetrated. When these
reach the depths where folk tradition turks
and the popular imagination slumbers,
then the world may well look for reac
ton in which the nation will show all that
it is capable of in literature.
Meanwhile observe, by way of presage,
that two of the most strihing literary pho.
nomena of the present day are Rudyard
Kipling, with his overlay of Hindooism on
English human nature, and Lafcadio
Hearn, with his varied experience, patient
ly inquisitive about everything Japanese.
Finally, whether the successor of Dante
and Goethe rises from Asia or from the
west, all the light of the past shows that
he will speak not the Thoughts of nation,
but of a worldwide culture; that he will al
last unite the divided thought of human
ity and combine in one view two civiliza
lions that have been in antagonism for
thousands of years.

Reunion Of the Soldiers and Sailors OF
the Black Hills ut Deadwood last week,
the Pioneer.Times says: The attend.
ance of old soldiers from out oftown was
not as large rs on some former occasions,
but it must be borne in mind that the
ranks Of the veterans are being gradu-
ally and surely thinned out by death
The registration at headquarters showed
that in the neighborhoJd ~ofseventy-five
new names appeared upon the roll, an d
this in itself demonstrated the fact that
the veterans, whenever the opportunity
presents itself, will still make an effort
to join in a reunion with their comrades.
When it is noticed that the number
in attendance has diminished, sickness,
old age and death must be looked to for
the cause. The next annual meeting
will be held at Hot Springs, sometime
in June. the date to correspond with the
time chosen for the state encampment
