Tibetans' praying Wheel. "
From the London Mail.

ITO the Yellow God, the Black God. the
White God and the Green God-please kind
ly take us all up with you, and do not
leave us unprotected, but destroy our enc
mics Such a prayer is to be found on a
Tibetan praying wheel, said Mr.. A. R.
Wright at a meeting of the Folklore So
ciety held in Albermarle street w A
novel feature of this prayer wheel which
the Tibetan spends much of the time in
turning is that if turned the wrong way
everything done before is undone.
Some of the articles used by the Tibetans
in their devotions are very gruesome. A
human thigh bone covered with human skin
Is used as Il horn for exercising demons
and to draw the soul from hell. A double
drum made from two halves of a skull, the
skin covering being that of a human being,
is placed on the altar of certain fiend del
ties In the Tibetan religion.

Pliable Marble.


Plable marble is a curiosity little known
to the public. In the possession of Prince
Borghese some time ago were six slabs Of
marble which could be bent at will. The
peculiarly is believed to be due to the
effect of fire. When placed on end they
bend backward or forward laid horizon
tally and raised at end they curve;
placed like see-saw on block of other
material the ends droop. They were exca-
waited at Mondragon. near Naples. and have

museum has a similar slab.

GREAT OBJECT LESSON.

A new edition of Henry Domorost
Loyd's Newest England" by which
is meant New. Zealand, shows that
country has made of late years fur
Their advances along the line of State
ownership and control Of various util-
tiles which had been followed Up to
the time when the book first appear
ed The people OF New Zealand own
the railroads and operate that at very
low charges for freight and passenger
service Children are carried free to
and from school. A fruit grower ma
ship box of fruit weighing fifty-slX
pounds a long distance for the low
cost of twelve cents. No discrimination
is allowed between the large and the
small shipper. The rate is the same,
for instance, On a single bag CT wool
as on 1000 bags.
Among the latest developments III
New Zealand is State life insurance.
1t is said that the amount Of State
insurance in force averages 1892 for
every man in the country. There IS
likewise to be State fire insurance,
and the government is to engage III
banking, as in the British and Cana
alan Postal Departments. The New:
Zealand government will also embark
in coal mining on an extensive scale
in order that the product may be sup
Piled at low prices to consumers,
Perhaps New Zealand is going too
far in State Socialism. but it is bet
ter for the people to own the utilities
than to have them in the hands of
private monopolies and be rulec by
corporations.
