JAPANESE REGALIA.
Royal Emblcms without Which the
Emperor Could Not Rule.

Royal EmbIems without Which the
Emperor Could Not Rule.
The Japanese royal emblems consist
Of copper mirror, symbolic Of knowl
edge; n steel sword, symbolizins cour-
mercy. The story Of their origin was
told thus by Japfnese Official:
The sun goddess became angry with
the earth and withdrew into a cave,
plunging everything into darkness.
The other deitics could not induce her
to come out, so began to make q noise
as of great rejoicing. which aroused
the curiosity of the irate goddess. She
finally came to the mouth Of the cave
to learn the cause Of the uproar and
was told that they had found more
beautiful goddess than herself. The
sun goddess came out then, demand
Ing to see her rival, and the crafty del
ties held the mirror before her, which
drove all her sulkiness away.
The sword was taken by .Susenoo,
the brother Of the sun goddess, from
the tall Of an eight headed serpent
that had been annually dsvouring a
beautiful girl. Suscnoo placed eight
great tubs OF wine in his way and whom
he was sleeping killed him and took
the sword as a trophy.
The sword Is kept In an apartment
near the imperial bedchamber and
called the Room of the Sword. The
Jewels have also room to themselves,
and the mirror Is in charge OF priest
css. The regalia have tho highest sig
nificarce In the eyes OF tho people, and
1t 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 i'm
per!al code it is enjoined that on the
death OF the sovereign his heir must
take possession Of them.

The 'Bnsin" OF IN Annie.

One erd Of The apple bears the name
Of "basin" and contains the remnants
OF the blossom sometimes called the
eye of the fruit. This part Of the apple
is deep in some varieties ard shallow
and open In others. This is the weak
est point in the whole apple as con-
Germs the question Of tic keeping quail
ity Of the fruit. If the basin is shallow
and the canal to tie core firmly closed,
there is much less likelihood Of the
fruit decaying than when it is deep,
and the evident opening connects the
center Of the fruit with the surface.
