PRAYING BY MACHINERY.

some OF the Ruddhists have a novel
and casy method Of praying. Instead
of going through long and tiresome
verbal prayer, they have hollow
cylinders on spindles about which are
wound reams of paper containing
printed copies of prayers.
When a man wishes to pray. he
merely gives one Of these rollers a
spin which unrous the paper. and thus
the PRAYER is said. These cylinders
are of various sizes, the smaller ones
being about rs large as an average
rolling pin, and the larger ones are
sometimes immense affairs which are
revolveG by winlmills or water power.
on these great prayer wheels many
tornulac of prayers are written. and
IN" Worshircr often says several hum
dred prayers in a single roll These
great wheels have often been revoIved
by complicated machinery. and the
use Of electricity in turning them
might be practical. The small domes-
tic prayer Wheels. which were used ip
homes were often hung over the fire
place and turned by the heat of the
fire
Ine smaller wheels are usually set

is spun the greater the merit which

STORY or THE POSTAGE STAMP.


Postage stamps and envelopes are

after Rowland hin had introduced
tfem into England, that they came
into use in America.

folded. ana addressed all on the same
sheet, and stuck with a wafer or with
sealing wax. Our early statesmen
could hardly have dreamed of the
millions upon millions of portraits Of
themselves that would some day he

But the election plan was conceived
by the policy holders committee: the
