QUEER JAPANESE SUPERSTITION

In one of his recent stories Lafoadio Hearn deals with a singular supersti- ton in Japan. A woman had, accord ing to a very common custom in Ja- pan given a mirror to go into the melt ing pot to make bell for a Buddhist temple. After she had given it she had remembered that it had been her mothers and her grandmOther's, and that it must have reflected a good many happy smiles. So she regretted giving it. She longed for the chance of stealing it back, but it never came. As the mirror was given grudgingly it would not melt. She was sure that everybody must know who had done such dreadful thing as to grudge' a gift to a temple, so she drowned her self. leaving a farewell letter contain ing these words: When I am dead it will not be difficult to melt the mirror and to cast the bell. But to the per- son who breaks that bell by ringing it. great wealth will be given by the ghost of me-" This was a magnifi- gently effective curse. because every body tried to ring the bell till f should break. The priests were driven 70 the verge of madness by the ring
 nG and threw it into a swamp. so that nobody could ring it anymore.-Chica- go News.

EFFECT OF A DECISION
It Acted Like an Explosive in the
 Stock Market.

New York, July 1.-The decision that Judge Bradford handed down today in Trenton in the Northern Securities case proved of explosive effec. on the stock of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Northern Securities in spite of the large preliminary speculation which has been going on in those stocks most of the week in anticipation of this de- cisiCl.
 Southern Pacific and Union Pacific, after a spasmodic jump on the first announcement of the decision, wavered under a flood of profit taking offerings. But the two stocks then resumed an aggressive upward movement and gall vanized the general market into some activity again. The effect was to en- able the general market to hold some of it's earlier gains, but no important new points of strength developed after the securities decision became known.
