Alex Mcdowell. of Mercer, chief clerk
Of the national house of representa-

Connell are keeping up an active fight
for the corner stone Of the ticket and
yet their most sanguine friends admit
Colonel Stone is the most likely win
ner. He might be beaten II the field
could combine against him, but this
does not seem probabale. Senator Quay
reached here at midnight from Wash
ington, and had conference this morn
ing with his lieutenants at the resi-
dence of County Chairman John H.
Weiss. Senator Penrose. State Chair
man Elkin and other adherents of the
Beaver sage are among the most ac-
tive W. A. Stone boomers. and they
regard his nomination as q certainty.
Mr. Wanamaker is making most ag-
gressive canvass, and 1t is conceded
he will DOLL large vote He declines
to discuss his prospects, except to say
that he is in the fight to stay.

AMERICAN ELECTRICIANS
VIII Provide 81, 900, 900 Worth of Ma
chinery For Paris Exposition.


chinery For Paris Exposition.
New York, June 1.-The Herald prints
the following: American electrical
machinery manufacturers are to have
an opportunity to provide electrical
machinery valued at 100000 for the
Paris exhibition as result of efforts
made by the special American COM
mission sent to Paris to advise regard
ing the American display there. The
commission consisted Of Assistant Sec
rotary of States Thomas W. Cridler,
Special Commissioner Louis NJ. Ham
burger, Assistant Special Commissioner
Lieutenant A. C. Backer, United States
naval attache, and Colonel Charles c..
Long, secretary to the commission.
American electricians let slip an
earlier opportunity to furnish electrical
machinery for lack of information.
Negotiations had been begun with
manufacturers of other countries, and
as far as America was concerned the
matter seemed closed. After a good
deal of persuasion by the special COM
missioners another opportunity was
obtained.
"Of course" said Mr.. Hamburger,
these concessions were not handed me
on a silver platter, but II there was an
enmity felt toward America do you
think we would have obtained them?"
Mr.. Hamburger. who returned Sat-
urday. will make every effort to in
crease American interest in the ex-
hibition.

Linseed Oil From Flaxseed,

Flaxseed oil, or linseed oil, is obtained
by pressure from the seed of fax. The
seeds are usually stripped from the dry
fax stalks, a handful at time, through o
set of iron teeth, standing in 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
full hydraulic pressure, which extracts tho
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 FREQ from mucilage, but it Is of a
higher color and of more acrid taste than
that expressed from the raw secd.-St.
Louis Republic.

The Same Old Plea,

One of the richest men in England,
whose wealth makes him a target for many
applications for help from poorer people,
was visiting Paris, and the manner in
which he repealed one of tho applicants for
his generosity is worth repeating
On the opposite side Of the hotel table
sat woman who had once been rich.
Monsieur, she said, "you Englishmen
are so chivalrous, SO ready to assist those
In distress"
eyes, said the man of wealth, hesitate
ing. He had heard that before and thought
he knew what was coming next.
"Would you, with your usual generos-
ity, do me favor and great kindnessf"
"Yes, madame-that is, it depends some.
what
"Think we'll, monsieur, before you
promise, for it Is great kindness"
1t was tho same old plea that he had
heard many times before from people who
wanted loan.

what is 1t you wishp'
"Only that you would be kind enough,
monsieur, to pass me the mustard. You
have everything on your side of the table. "

SUBSTITUTES FOR PRAYING.
Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
Cnlmuck Tsrtars.

Parrots and Prayer Wheels Among the
calmuck Tsrtars.
Finally II you spend most Of your time,
as did, among the natives on the hurri-
cane deck, your attention will be attracted
by 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
flat 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 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 tax upon the ener-
gies of the original Buddhists, and they
set their ingenuity at work to devise some
means of lessening the labor. The Grst 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 devotions 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, it seems to me, but the LATEST
of Asatics 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 VoIga Is a small wooden cylin-
der 8 or 8 inches in length and about
inches in diameter, turning upon a YER
tical 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 IL Is turned
upon its axis all the prayers that it con.
tains are 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 suppllcant has to do is
to give his wheel a 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-
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.-George KEENAN, in Independent.

Don't cross your legsl Not only is
It bad form, but is one of the worst
things in the world for man or
woman. 1t is particularly injurious
for women to sit with one leg swung
over the knee of the other.
Many have often wondered how in
the world they have contracted a
splitting headache, or why their feet
get so cold at times. These two
troubles and score of others are due
solely in many cases to the common
habit of seeking comfort by crossing
the lie ys.
Cold feet, varicose veins, headache,
ulcers and countless other troubles
from the improper circulation of the
blood in the lower limbs are caused by
the pernicious habit of crossing the
legs.
If you cross your right leg over the
left knee you will notice that the
whole weight OF the suspended right
leg is sustained by the left knee,
which places all of the pressure
against that under part of your right
leg between the calf and the kneecap.

spot where al the pressure is placed
there is large number of large veins,
nerves and arteries.
The mere fact of putting undue
pressure against this SPOT in eithei

tissues together, and the circulation
of the lifegiving fluid is materially in
terfered with. OF course, the absence
of plentiful supply of blood to the
legs and feet causes them to become
so susceptible to the cold air that the
least draft csuses the feet to become
annoyingly cold.-Journal of Goot
