    BUDDHIST PRAYER MILLS.
iBceavlty of tbe Poor Moncol fa the
. ArrtMxement ofPrayer-HakliixIXa-
ehlaery. ' . - - '
The Bev. James Oilman, in his book,
"Among the Mongols,' gives the fol
lowing account of the prayer mills of
the Buddhist Mongols : .
Nine, out of every ten Mongols you
meet will have rosaries in their hands,
and be rapidly repeating prayers. The
efficacy depends not on the meaning,
but on the repetition of the prayer. It
is not, properly speaking, praying at all,
but "repeating charms." But mouth-
repetition is a slow process, and to expe
dite matters a praying-wneel has been
invented, into which are put a large
number of printed prayers, ihe wheel is
turned round, and, by this simple act.
all the prayers contained in the machine
are supposed to be repeated. This is a
wonderful acceleration. The wheel is
fitted on to a handle, which a man can
easily hold as he walks about; and
thus it comes that men may be met
while examining their cattle, or going
from one place to another, whirling
their prayer-wheels all the time.
In some tents there is a stand in
which is placed a large wheel, bearing
about the same relation to the - hand
Wheel as a family bible bears to a pocket
bible. A thong is fixed to a crank,
the inmates take their turn in pulling
it. If a wrongly timed pull sends the
cylinder turning backward, according
to the Mongol idea it makes sin in place
of merit. In one house I saw a wheel
placed over the fire and driven by an
upward current of hot air, after the
manner of a roasting-jack. A com
mon form of the praying wheel
is a windmill set on a lofty pole
high above the tent. "When a strong
northwest gale springs, up the machine
goes whirling round; and the poor
Mongol, as he shudders at the tempest,
in his tent below, is comforted, so far at
least, by the thought that the blast is
performing a lot of prayers for him.
Sitting in a tent once, I heard behind
me a curious clicking noise, and, look
ing round, found a praying-wheel going
by machinery. The master of the house,
being ft mechanical genius, had bought
an old clock in a Chinese town, taken
out and rearranged the spring and
wheels, and made them drive a cylinder
filled with prayers. "When he got up in
the morning he stmply took the key,
wound up the clock-work, and then the
thing made prayers for the whole estab
lishment. Corporal Punishment in Prison.
"While conversing with a prison official
a few days since, the question came up
as to which was most subduing in its
effects, solitary confinement and similar
methods, or the use of the strap. He
claimed that the latter was the most
effective, and gave the following inci
dent as illustrative of his theory : A
short time since a burly convict, re
cently received under a five years' sen
tence, informed his keeper that he de
clined to. further waste his energies in
labor. He had concluded to knock 08
permanently and rest during the bal
ance of his sentence. As he made not
the least pretense of sickness or inca
pacity as an excuse for his conduct, he
was ordered strapped. This appeared
to strike him satisfactorily ; he simply
remarked that was all right; he waM
ready for the punishment, but it wjHfld
not influence him in the stand hg had
taken an iota.
It took just six strokeg-oT the strap
to convince him Mia-Jng position on the
labor queH9irwas illogical and unten
&biQ." He begged to bo released, and
declared that he would take no further
part in the management of the prison.
The gentleman thought that this same
treatment applied to the degraded
species of tramps who fill our jails,
would have an excellent effect. To fur
nish them with good food and lodging
at the expense of the county for ten or
fifteen days, he regarded as no punish
ment whatever.
A Wonderful Street.
Ex-Secretary of the Treasury "Win
dom is now in JUondon trying to raise
money for building an arcade under the
whole length ol JBroadway, JNew lork.
If he succeeds, that will be the most
extraordinary thoroughfare known to
the history of cities. ' The scheme is to
make a new street under the present
surface of Broadway, extending to the
houses on each side, and lit by electrio
lights at night and glass reflectors in
the daytime. The middle of the street
would hold railway tracks, not only for
city travel, but to accommodate in-coming
trains from every part of the coun
try. The traveler in San Francisco or St
Paul would not only buy his ticket for
New York, but the hotel on Broadway
where he intended to stop. Freight
and baggage would be conveyed directly
to the warehouse or be received by the
express car which was to convey it to
any part of the country. Then traffio
of all kinds could be carried on on both
sides of the arcade. There would thus
be a double tier of stores. Provision
could be made for sewers, water mains,
gas pipes and heating tubes. In short,
it would become a double street and the
value of the property quadrupled along
the route. Engineers say the scheme
is entirely practicable. There is busi
ness enough now on Broadway for two
thoroughfares.
One company controls the omni
busses of Paris, and although "monop
olies" are nowhere overmuch liked, the
public, it is admitted, is fairly well
served. Improvements are not infre
quent ; new lines are often mapped out.
The Paris vehicles are, in respect to
size, cleanliness and cheapness of fare,
perhaps as good as any in the world.
In London the average cabby has to
contend with the "privileged classes"
that control the railway stations. At
the Oreat Eastern terminus, for exam
ple, ther3 are stationed 100 cabs belong
ing to one proprietor, who pays $5,000
a year rent. The railroad companies
defend the "privilege" practice, on the
ground that it enables them to keep
the drivers under control. But the
drivers generally believe that they
could make more money, and give the
public better service, if all the stands
of the metropolis were free from every
company.
Fun -.Loving Steedma .
Only a few of the papers have men
tioned the fact that general St sed
mau was the leading spirit in the
Sons of Malta business. But he was,
and probably no man enjoyed the rol
licking, rowdyish fun and mystery of
that organization more than he did. He
could tell more stories of jokes on prom
inent politicians than any other man in
Ohio.
Woman PInek and Man's Cowardice
In a Dentist's) Chair.
- - t
'No.' said the dentist, "I never tell
women "anything but the truth. If I
tell a man an operation may be painful
he is apt to find some excuse for delay
ing it, or even dodging it altogether.
But a woman would deliberately walk
to the chair if she thought her head
were to be yanked off. Give me a
woman for cool pluck every time."
"But children?" i
"It is "both wrong and foolLA to de
ceive a child about such-things. If he
is told he is not to be hurt, and then is
hurt, he will never take ' your word
again, and will hate you, and resort to
almost any means to keep away from a
dental office afterward. I always tell
a child the operation will hurt a little,
but that I will- be caref nl. I can
usually play on a child's pride, and
make him very brave. If he is handled
properly he will train his pluck for the
most painful operation, and usually
when he is dismissed from the chair he
is surprised that the pain has been no
more severe. You know tho extent of
pain, or, indeed, of everything, is apt
to ba measured by comparison with
one's expectation of what is to be
done." ;
Ton have to deceive men, do you?"
"Yes, pcnerally. They are consum-
a e t-o .. ards. Yesterday I made one of
Ijv friemla pull his own tooth."
"Howr"
"He wis! ted me to look at his teeth and
1 11 him what they required, and was
9jtv c ireful to instruct me to do nothing
I I.. an to look at them. : I found one
:it 7 not be saved, and should be
ti at ted at once. I knew if I told him
.0 would not let me take it out, so I
slipped so:ne forceps in mypocketwhen
ho was not looking, and went on fumb
ling about his face, occasionally putting
a ring-or into his eye, until he concluded
it was Kafcr to keep his peepers closed.
By quick and precise work I laid hold
on the tooth with the forceps before he
knew what was up, but as soon as he
felt the pain he grabbed my hand and
pushed it away so frantically as to throw
forceps, tooth, and all through tbo win
dow in front of him."
Ituiaed Iliver Banks,
Gov. Dorsheimer, who is a friend of
Frederick L. Olmsted, the landscape
gardener, remarked to me recently
while going up the Hudson River rail
road: "How shamefully railroads have
been allowed to take the banks of
rivers and streams for their own, the
public having nothing to say in the
matter. But in England they have a
river commission which has, in the case
of almost every river or sylvan stream,
or frequented highway, forced the rail
road off and made it respect the prop
erty of the people in the beauties of
nature. See the Hudson river de
stroyed! The malaria that has so
much cheapened its villa properties,
and affected the growth of larpre towns,
arises from railroads embanking the
mouths of the creeks, throwing a cause
way with an insufficient culvert across
them and creating an ' inner lagoon,
sickly and unsightly. i
In some places now a . man cannot
drive or ride without the peril of his

Toltee Rains.
The name of the Mexican town on the
Rio Miffuel is derived from the ruins of
sundrv crreat houses which wero built
by the people who were evidently de
stroyed by the same irruption of savage
aborigines roaming between the Twenty-
second and Thirty-second parallels of
latitude, that finally overthrew, in the
eleventh century, the great Tolteo em
pire. These ruins are not communal
in character, like tho Rio Grande and
Moqui pueblo's, still existing. They
appear to have public structures form
ing the centre of towns, in which the
separate dwelling was a fea
ture. In this they resembled the
Toltec life and civilization.
The Chihuahua Casas Grandes
are, so far as known, the best preserved
of all such remains in northern Mexico,
and tho Primeria Alta region now held
by the United States. The principal
structure is still about 600x250 feet in
length and width, set true to tho car
dinal points, with walls of from five to
eight feet in thickness, ; built of cojon,
a species 01 concreio maue 01 grayei

some sort of mortar or cement, com

tus so abundant in the arid region.

BUREAU OF PRINTING.
Description of the Process ot Print
ins Government Cnrreney,
The printing division is closely con
nected with the engraving division, and
is a room about 200 feet in length. Ai
a distance of about five feet from the
walls on all sides of the room is a high
and strong wire cage, behind which the
printers and their assistants are busily
at work, cimiiar cages are in use in
all the various branches of the bureau
separating the employes from the pub
lic. The general aspect of the place
is prison-like, and, 1 must say, repell
mar. mere are zoo nana presses in
this division, each press being pro
vided with an automatic contrivance
that registers every impression made
by the press. At tho end of each day
a clerk examines the registers and en
ters the number indicated in a book. The
number thus fdund mustcorrespond with
the number of sheets reported by the
printer as printed. . The space allotted
to each press and its living operators
is extremly narrow and confined, so
that the workers of the different presses
find it difficult to avoid elbowing each
other. At each press stand a man and
a woman. The man's arms are bare to
the shoulders, his face and hands grimy
and besmeared with the thick,' pasty
black or green ink used in the printing.
In front of him is his female attendant.
She moistens the paper and places it
on the press, and the printer applies
the pressure and the impression is
made. The attendant removes the
sheet, examines it carefully to see that
the impression is perfect, and then lays
it aside. The printer removes the plate
from the press, wipes it carefully with
a wet cloth, plunges his hand into
mass of the inky paste, rubs it care
fullv over the plate with his naked
hand, then smooths it with a handful of
whitening.
1 his is the minutiae of printing money,
which is very delicate. The printer re
places the plate in the press, the attend
ant lays another sheet under it, the pres
sure is again applied and another sheet
is printed and removed. I his eroes on
from 8 o'clock in the morning until
o'clock in the afternoon, with a half hour
at noon for . lunch. .As before stated
the notes are printed on one side only at
a time. A package is then made of
them, and they are then sent to the
office of the printing division, accompa
nied by a slip of paper containing a mem
orandum of the number returned. In
this office are a number of female ac
countants, who enter the numbers on the
slips into large books, which serve as
permanent records. The packages
are then placed into a chest
mounted on wheels. The chest is
locked and rolled into the examining
division, where it is opened by the
chief of the division and the contents
distributed to expert and rapid counters,
who count the number in each package
and compare the result with the memo
randum on the slip. The number of
employes in this division is eighty-five
all females. They earn on an aver
age of S2 a day. If the work returned
checks O. K. it is, if printed on one side
only, returned to the wetting division.
If printed on both tides it goes to tho
dryiDg-rooml where it is placed in a ma
chine and dried by a hot air process. It
is unnecessary to describe in detail the
manner of printing the face of the
notes. The face printers make requisi
tion upon the wetting division for paper
upon which the backs are already
printed. They ctyT through the same
routine of reccipTand f elivery,
sides and in tha drying machine, where
it remains over nicht. The next dav it
is placed for a few hours under a hy
draulic press, 'whence it is removed
and sent to the sealing and numbering
division. In this division the red seal
and the red numbers are impressed
upon the notes. The work is done on
small presses, propelled by steam and
operated by women. There are seventy
five ladies in this division. The sheets
are then ran through the separating
machines and cut into four parts, each
part forming a treasury or bank note.
From the numbering divisions the notes
are sent to the counting division and
delivered to expert counters, all fe
males, and they count tho notes and
put them into parcels of thirty pack
ages, each package containing 100
notes. The packages are conveyed to
the money vault, where they remain
over night, and the next day are deliv
ered to the treasurer's division of tho
treasury department.

The skipper of a coal boat on tho
Baltimore & Ohio canal recently de
cided after mature deliberation and
careful consideration, to marry his
cook who had been a tried and faithful
servant to him for quite a number of
his perilous trips on the storm-lashed
canal. So he spoke to her about the
matter one day, and after securing her
coy consent, ho ordered the boat tied
up at a small town, and, being a prac
tical skipper, skipped up street after a
parson. The nuptial knot was soon
tied, the parson beaten down to a dol

canal boatman said :
