Great Dimeulty

Sault Ste. Marie, Jan. rs. - In
a fierce blizzard that ragged Sunday
night one of the stages that runs
across the river between here and the

John Lebla, the driver, was swept
under the ice with the horses and
sleigh and drowned, while the three
passengers were rescued with great
difficulty.
When about half way across the
river Driver Lebla lost the regular
track owingt o the binding snow. Three
OF the six passengers became fright
ened and left the sleigh, running be-
hind it. Suddenly the sleigh disap-
peared and from great hole in the
ice came cries for help from the other
three passengers. The horses, sleigh
and driver went under the ice al
most instantly and were carried away
by the current. The passengers on
the ice threw their fur overcoats to
their companions struggling in the
water and with much difficulty sue
ceeded in getting them ont on the solid
Ice. The chilled and half-drowned men
were then taken TO the hospital.

JAPANESE REGALiA.
Royal EmbIems without which the
Emperor Could Not Rule.


The Japanese royal emblems consist
I Of a copper mirror, symbolic of knowl-
edge: a steel sword. symbolizing cour-
age, and agate jewels, representing
mercy. The story of their origin was
told thus by a japanese official:
The sun goddess became angry with
Ii. earta and withdrew into Il cave,
nluag.ng everything into darkness.
Tie other deitics could not induce her
to come out, SO began to make q noise
us of great rejoicing, which aroused
tle curiosity Of the irate goddess. She
finally came to the mouth Of the cave
10 learn the cause Of the uproar and
w.s told that they had found a more
beautiful goddess than herself. The
-.a goddess came ont then, demand
I,g to see her rival and the crafty del
ties held the mirror before her which
drove all her suIEiness away.
The sword was taken by Susenoo,
the brother of the sun goddess, from
the tail Of an eight headed serpent
that had been annually devouring
beautiful girl Susenoo placed eight
great tubs of wine in his way and when
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 q room to themselves,
and the mirror is in charge of priest
acc Tho rorolio bovo +bo b;rrhoz+ r;rr
nifcance 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 i'm
perial code it is enjoined that on the
death of the sovereign his heir must
take possession Of them.

One end Of the apple bears the name

Of the bl0ssom-sometimes called the

is deep in some varieties and shallow
and open in others. This is the weak
est point in the whole apple as con
Germs the question of the keeping quail

there is much less likelihood of the
fruit decaying than when it is deep
