REVOLVING "PRAYER-MILLS."

That labor. saving devices, even for
prayer, are in use in China and ia
pan is shown by this interesting state
ment from Mr.. f. p. Tenney, former
president of the Col dorado college. He
says:
In WI Tai Shan, the mecca of
the Buddhist Mongolians, in the pro-
vince of Shansi, in Northern China,
in addition to 800 ordinary prayer
mills, there is one large revolving
tower sixty feet high, which has on
it not only the common supply of
prayers, but vast number of idols,
which are worshipcd as a whole by
turning a crank, instead of bowling
to them one by one.
Besides, this tower has more sa-
cred books in it's inches than one
could read in a lifetime, and two or
three pilgrims go into the cellar be-
low and wheel round the tower by
handspokes, SO gaining as much merit
as if they had read all the books, as
well as said all the prayers and bow
ed to all the images. One pilgrimage
to this spot gains SO much moral
credit with karma as to count for
one meritonious life in one future
transmigration, and two pilgrimages
for two lives, and so on. The pill
grims are there today, working that
wheel in the cellar.
Similar revolving libraries are al
so found in Buddhist temples in ia
pan and in different parts of China
The voluminous sacred books are
bulky-two feet long eight inches in
width, and four feet thick. They are
kept in the temples and loaned out
by the CARLOAD, or transported 10y
train of camels. DR.. Gilmour found
a wealthy Mongol who had ten vol
umes in his tent. Once a year he
hired ten lamas to read them through
for him by the days work, each read
ing aloud, simultaneously, without
listeners. BY it he earned religious
merit"

Months For Cattle ScOurge.

Under the supervision of Federal and
State authorities all the live sto ok except
the horses, belonging to William Fl. Nc
KINNEY on the Clarke farm, hear Green

Industry, U. s. Department of Agricul-
ture, took the situation in hand.
The stock killed included 81 head of
cattle, 10 hogs, so sheep and 30 lambs.
The assessed value is in the neighbour
hood of 81, 600. Last November about
81, 600 worth of stock was killed for Mr..
Mckinney because of the cattle scourge.
The trench in which the dead animals
were buried was about 40 feet long, 7
feet deep and feet wide.
Because of the temperance OF the
disease, the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board has issued new order, placing
certain restrictions upon Frederick coun.
ty, in order to check the possible spread
of the highly contagious disease. The
area within a radius of three miles OF
the Mckinney farm is again closed
zone. Without permission from the
State Board, horses and mules are not
allowed to move from or into this area.
Hay, straw, or fodder is not allowed to
be moved from the restricted zone, with
out permit.

lex county except for immediate slaugh-
ter or upon permission of the State Live

Woman's Suffrage News.
Notable Trip To st. Mary's City
Now Being Planned.

A prairie schooner, the kind used
by the forty-niners when the cry OF
Gold! Gold from the American
River!" startled the world, will be
used by the Just Government League
of Maryland in its Pilgrimage to the
home of Margarent Brent. Miss l..
c. Trax, who has organized the hikes
which have made Maryland famous,
is planning the expedition, which
leaves Baltimore May 81, and ar
rives at St. Mary's City June 10.
Meetings will be held along the way,
and the story of the worlds first sui
fragist, Mistress Brent, will be added
dignity to the woman suffrage pro-
paganda. On June 10 a monster
celebration will be held at St. Mary $
city, and events of early Colonial his
tory commemorated.
Not since the time of the gold dis
covery at Suffers sawmill in the foot
hills of the Sierras has the prairie
schooner been given SO much attcn-
ton. The cry of of to the Gig
gings" has become off to St. Mary's
city" and the caravan is in the max.
ing. Bright with streamers and far
ing inscriptions it will be-this wagon
with the bullying caravan top, flying
the Stars and stripes, and the purple
green and-white of the hiker's flag
Inside it will be a coy retreat for the
carayaners. There will be sleeping
tent, cooking utensils, dishes, army
cots, blankets, lanterns. flaming
gasoline light for night meetings, a
camera, typewriter, paper and pen
ellis, and other bloodless weapons to
take the place of the rifles and pistols
of the fortyniners.
Miss Trax will WELD the typewriter
and wipe the dishes, while Mrs. f..
F. Ramcy is laying in a store of sa-
polio and food-stuffs, Mrs. Frank II 4.
Smell and Miss Mary O'Toole are
practising bed making and literature
distribution. All will take a turn at
the speaking.
Two and three meeting daily will
be held throughout the Southern
counties. Camp will be pitched when
ever night oyertakes the expedition,
and the migrants who followed the
overland route in the gold-hunting
days were no drawer than the SUI
caravancrs.
The pilgrimage viii. take up about
months time. The caravaners,
like the fortyniners, will search for
trcasure-votes for the suffrage amend
ment. The expedition is attracting
wide spread attention, and many
suffragists throughout the state are
asking for a place in the caravan.
