Before the presidents message was re.
ceived at the house today one of the "lcgis-
lativc agents. Of a Wall street concern
passed the word around the lobbics that the
message would contain a reference to the
Cultivate bill for the extension of the Pacific
railroads bonded debt. He added that
he had an intimation, but he was
not positive that the reference would be fav-
orable TO the bill. Now said the gentle.
man, 'if this proves to be true, Union Pacific
will be good stock to buy, and think it safe
to say that 1t will jump at least six points. If
you have any spare cash, look out for the
message and govern yourself accordingly
In response to this tip those who were ad.

OF indigo Is also threatened by an are-
fcial production which the chemists have
discovered. A while ago it was found
that the cinchona tree could be profitably
planted in India, and fine new field Of
industry was believed TO have opened for
the farmers OF that country. Scores OF
chemists, however, have been at work
upon the synthesis of quinine, and their
researches have advanced so far that ths
prediction is now confidently made that
the manufacture of the principle of
quinine will soon be a commercial sue
cess, and that cinchona planting will be-
come thing Of the past. These chemi-
cal reproductions of the valuable princi-
pies inherent in natural products are often
easier TO handle and utilize than the prod
ucts from which they have hitherto been
derived, and thus the tendency Of manu-
factures is to substitute artificial for
natural sources of supply.
The problem of sugar making from in
organic materials has engaged some
chemists for a number of wears. Tho
synthesis Of glucose by Fischer and Tafel
is said to promise an ample supply of
this commodity without the aid Of grapes
or starch. Two years ago some German
( chemists announced that they had pro-
Suced saccharOse, the equivalent of cane
sugar, by passing an electro current
through a mixture of starch, alphuri~
acid and water Nothing has yst been
heard of the commercial value Of this
new product, and there is no ea4on to
think it will prove dangerous li7al to
the sweets we derive from the cane and
the beet. Some sugar growers, however,
have been prophesying for year, that
something would happen TO ruin the
sugar industry, and their alarm receives
fresh impetus at every new discovery
like that of Remsen's saccharine, an ex-
ceedingly sweet article produced from
coal tar. The day may come when pro-
cesses Of sugar making by the use Of in
organic materials will seriously affect the
sugar planter, but there is no reason -
yet to believe that his industry will soon
be imperiled
Legislation has interviewed in some
places TO protect the dairy farmer against
oleomargarine, even where this product 10
honestly sold as artificial butter. 1t is
not to be expected that in many cases
where science supplies us with desirable
substitute for any product, the law can
be successfully invoked to keep the world
from reaping the benefit of increasing
knowledge. Future discoveries may
compel the farmer to cease raising some
produce by which he has thrived, or to
change and improve his methods Of agri-
culture; but it is certain that the tillers
of soil will continue to supply the chief
/ resources of food and apparel.-New

JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY.
The Meaning Of Some OF the Figures Seen
on Jars and Fans.

on Jars and rams.
The creation was, according to tra-
dition, brought about in tliis wise. In
the dim ages Of the past there existed
trinity who dwelt in space. Later came
other deities (Kami, with separate
existences. and after seven generations
begotten from them, the creation, which
was confined to Japan, was decided on
and carried through in six stages, almost
similar TO those in our Pentateuch, the
work being delegated 10 lsanaghi and
his sister, Isanami. From the goddess
sprang certain terrestrial deities, among
whom We're Ama-terasu, the beautiful
goddess OF the sun; Isukoyumi, the
goddess Of the moon, and Susano, god Of
the wind.
A story which finds frequent illustrs-
ton in japanese art is that OF the quarrel
between Ama-terasu and her brother and
her consequent retirement 10 a cave.
whence she was inveigled by the dancing
of a goddess, variously named Okame.
Ouzoume. or UZume. II Is narrated at
length in Grifiis' "NIikado's Empire"
and Reeds Japan" and is one Of the
fairy stories recently published IN a de-
hghtfully illustrated form as ,ehild's
book under the title of "Yamata- no
Orochi." Masks Of the fair dancer are
TO be found in every curio shop. The
features upon these masks are always
| similar and have been handed down for
cenunies-a narrow forehead adorned
with imperial spots Of sable, pulled out
checks, dimpled chin and laughing coun-
tenance One of them is usually TO be
seen in every japanese house. In her
full length figures she usually carries in
her hands bundle Of reeds and a dart
bound round with herbs and little bells.
Many ancient customs still exist which
originated in this quarrel. notably the go
hei, or branches adorned with bits OF
silk and paper, which are hung in all
Shinto places Of worship, the drum upon
which 0uzoume danced and the cocks
who now inhabit the precincts Of the
temple, and which were then engaged 70

evil spirits, and the sacred Furnished cir.
cular mirror, wherein the goddess bcheld
her likeness, and which is the origin of
the round mirror Of metal which Japan-
CSC women still use as their only looking
glass. The dancing Of Ouzoume before
the cavern is initiated in the pantomimio
dance still practiced in every japanese
village. Another frequent subject for
illustration is Susano killing the eight
headed dragon after he had induced him
70 partake Of sake set in eight jars. His
exploit is depicted upon the bank notes Of
the country. A sword, which he found
