Sacred to the Gods.

Near every temple in Japan are certain
trees which are supposed 10 be peculiarly
loved by the gods and to be sacred 10
them. Any one injuringoT causing TO be
injured one Of them will bring down the
wrath Of the "kami" or god whose par
ticular property it is. If the trees be in
jured in the name Of any one the kami
avenges himself on that person instead.
So when a girl fads lhata sxAin's lore
has cooled and she thinks revenge would
be sweet, she makes straw manikin and
calls il by bis name. If she is very
yengeful she may also make end Of her
hated rival. At o'clock at night called
the hour Of the bull she rises, and clad
in white nightdress only, with high
elags on her feet, her hair hanging loose
and crowned with an iron tripod, on
which three lighted candles are stuck,
she proceeds TO the shrine of n pltroa

scne men who want Jobs es motormen
on the street railway have 10 give up be-
cause they clnnot learn 70 handle the

strength Is required 70 manipulate the

there is a peculiar motion turning the
brake handle one way and the crank for
shutting of the power the other way at
the same time that IS not easy to learn.
The local railroad has no regular school
for training the men who aspire to run
