The Japanese Regalia
Crown Insignia

Goji Ukita, chancellor of the Japan
ese legation, has been lecturing in
London on the imperial regalia of ia
pan. These emblems consist of the
mirror, symbolic of knowledge; the
sword for courage, and the divine
jewels for mercy. They are merely of
copper, steel and stone, and it could
not be claimed that they were beauti-
full. AS to the legendary story of their
origin the Sun Goddess was once en-
ragged and withdrew herself into a
cave, thereby leaving the earth in
darkness. But the other deities re-
solved to work upon her curiosity, and
by making a great noise outside, as
sisted by a pair of vigorous roosters,
the Sun Goddess duly came to see the
reason of the disturbance, and was
told that rejoicings We're in progress
that more beautiful goddess than
herself had been found, and they then
held the mirror for her to see herself.
The Sun Goddess brother met two old
people mourning that an eight-headed
serpent had annually devoured one of

The growing sentiment for the pro-
lection of bird life, writes a corre-
spondent, should not be endangered by
wrong direction. The appeal for the
sea gull. for instance, is one that must
ultimately fail for sound reasons.
Beautiful as he is, and attractive as
his evolutions are about the bridges,
he is a noted fish pirate. and when the
long delayed but inevitable legislation
comes for the scientific protection of
our coast fishing industry, the gull
will be marked as an enemy. At a
certain stage of the life of the tur-
bot, for instance, the baby fish floats
helplessly on the surface of the wa
ter, and a single gull is quite capable
of disposing of a hundred turbot in a
day. Even an alderman who could do
such thing would be legislated out of
existence--much more a sea gull-and

made of the pure slate and white wings

pieces of agate, based perhaps in form
on an animals tusk. The symbols be-
came separated at one period, but cop
les of the earlier ones have been made
from time to time. To-day the sword
is kept in an apartment near the impe-
rial bed chamber and called the Room
of the Sword. The jewels have also a
room to themselves. and the mirror is
in charge of a priestess. The regalia
have the highest significance in the
eyes of the people, and it is held that
no emperor can possibly rule without
the three virtues which they represent.
He must, moreover, hold the actual
tokens, and in the imperial code it is
enjoined that on the death of the SOW
ereign his heir must take possession

Although there are few men of his
age more active than William Curtis
Gibson of East Houston street, the
oldest survivor of the Volunteer Fire
Department. he gives strong proof OF
his Scotch ancestry occasionally by
his inability to appreciate a joke.
Mr.. Gibson was born in New York
and he has always lived here. His
friends say that only once in his life
has he travelled more than ten miles
away from this city. That was last
summer, when he went up to the Cats
kills.
1t was on this trip that he met
farmer who disgusted him with every
thing rural. Mr.. Gibson says he never
met a more stupid man, and when he
tells his squirrel story to prove it all
his friends laugh. The experience
speaks for itself.
Mr.. Gibson was interested in the
farm at first because it was a novelty.
At the end of the first week he said
to the farmer:
Say, this is great. l am glad 7
came. ] wish that / might take some
of your squirrels back to New York
with me as souvenirs of this trip
The Jennings daily record., 1902-05-22

Sure you can" said the farmer.
Just go out and help yourself TO as
many as you want. I've got more of
them than l want
Thank you, very much, but how
will I get them?''
Catch 'em, of course, It's easy
when you know how
''All right you tell me how and ID
catch few
Well" said the farmer, first off
you creep up as near as you can get
to them
Yes" said Mr.. Gibson.
And then you make the right Kind
of a noise to attract them and they
will come to you
What kind of a niose ought 1 to
make?" asked Mr.. Gibson eagerly.
Just make a noise Like nut" re-
piled the farmer. and off he walked.
When Mr.. Gibson tells this story
he says positively that nut does not
make any noise and that a fal mer who
had lived in the country all his life
without discovering that fact is too
stupid to live anywhere else-New

Henniker Heaton in The Leisure
Hour tells the following characteris-
tic story of Charles Stewart Parnel,
showing the fatter's power of detach-
ment: He came into the house of
parliament one afternoon when the
fiercest excitement prevailed regarding
the publication by the Times of the
forged Pigott letters. He in short
speech denied the authorship of the
letters and then walked into the lobby
and engaged me in conversation.
Everybody thought he was telling me
of the awful political event then stir
ring mems minds. This is what he
said to me: L have just read in the
afternoon paper that a mountain of
gold has been discovered in western
Australia. and that some tons of the
specimens have been sent home to you"

had in my locker in the house some of
the crushed specimens. We proceeded
to get them, and l gave him about

it away with him, and to the bewilder-

Then Gregorio stepped from behind
him and fred one barrel at the geese

rose. He gathered five or six. then
rode to the division fence a quarter

Evidently it was his intention to
enter the next pasture. The fence

and at word from him the horse
sunk to his knees then turned upon
his side Gregorio took him by the
headstall and pulled his head under
the fence, then took him by the tail
and pulled his hindquarters under,
and so, pulling first at head and then
at tail, worked HIM through.
Once clear OF the bottom wire, the
pony rose, shook himself and stood to
be mounted as if nothing but of the

of Gregorio's ability to go from pas

boss was so tickled by it that he in
