The Custom of 2hrowfns Prayers mt
IN IDOL In Japan.
Along the sacred road of Nikko in
Japan, is an idol about which centers
one of the most curious worships in
the world. Upon the surface of the
statue are seen little pieces of what
appears to be dried paper. If you stand
BY the idol for awhile and wait for a
worshiper to come along, you will see
what these bits Of paper are. The dew
otee halts in front Of the image, then
scribbles q prayer on a bit Of the pa
per. The wad he then chews up into
a ball and hurls at the god. If it
hits the face and sticks, the prayer is
sure to be granted, and the pious pill
grim goes away happy. If the ball
Sticks to some portion of the body. the
omen is not. quite SO propitious, and If
it falls to the ground there is absolute
" no hope.
Such mode of prayer is even more
curious than the praying wheels Of the
Buddhists, who set the wheel revolving
and reel off prayers by machinery. As
John L. Stoddard, the lecturer said.
"One sees, of course, numberless
strange rites connected with religion
in travelling about the world, but
Japan is the only land have ever
visited where deities serve as targets
for masticated prayersv'

BOTH PARTIES
TO CAUCUS
Course to Be Pursued at the
Special Session to Be
Decided Today.
MISUNDERSTANDING
Minority Will Probably
Adopt An Aggressive
Policy and Introduce
Taxation Bills.
Sspeeial . .The jersey City News.",

TRENTON, April u, 1904 King
Caucus will decide this forenoon the
scope of work and the amount Of legis-
lature in extra session, which convenes
at noon today.
There were no politicians at the state
house yesterday of any consequence, and
from the legislators who did drop in dur
ing the day it was said that the Repub-
licans would hold caucus before the
legislature was called to order and decide
IN caucus just what shape to put the
canal abandonment scheme before the
session opened and also decide upon
draft of the proposed anti-pigeon shoot
ing BILL
The caucus is to be adopted if possi-
BILE, to prevent any prolonged wrangle
and draw out the session into several
weeks instead of two or three sessions,
which is the wish of the state leaders.
Incidentally, the caucus will decide upon
a plan Of concerted action to thwart the
Democrats in their attempts to have the
subject of equal taxation considered.
It is agreed by all the Republicans
that there will be warm time for there
is scarcely an assemblyman or a senator
who is not sore over the fact that one
or more of his pet bills were defeated or
vetoed and will make an attempt to press
them at this session unless they are kill
ed off in caucus.
The Democrats are to hold caucus
also partly to consider their attitude on
the two matters proposed for their con-
sideration and partly to consider the
question of re-introducing the equal tax
alton bill and the quo warranto bill.
The Democrats are of the impression
that the Governor called the Legislature
in extra session while, ostensibly to pass
the canal and pigeon bills, in reality to
place the Republican party in a different
light before the public, in view of the
danger threatening the party from all
sides in the face of an approaching cam
paign, and the Democrats are deter
mined to put their opponents on record
again on the main issues and trust to
the voters to call the political bluff"
at the polls this fall.
One thing is settled and that is that
Assemblyman Ernst, Democratic AS
semblyman from Hudson. will not have
the honor of having his name attached
to the law preventing the shooting of live
pigeons for sport should the Legislature
pass such law.
1t has been decided, Informally though
assuredly, that Republican will intro
duce the bill and jts author viii proba-
bly, be Senator Bachelor of Essex
County.
1t is said that this bill will differ only
slightly from the Ernnst bill and will
provide that amy person who uses a
live pigeon, fowl or other bird for the
purpose of a target to be shot at, either
as an amusement or as fest Of skill
in craftsmanship, or shoots at a bird
kept or used as aforesaid, or is party
to such shooting, shall be guilty Of
misdemanor The penalty prescribed is
a fine of $50 for each violation Of the
act, and an additional penalty Of $25
for each pigeon, fowl or other bird shot
at Or killed in violation of the act.''

wars and Births.

Statistics of population seem to show
that after long and severe wars in
which many men are killed and the
male part of a country's population is
greatly decreased there is for several
years preponderating birth of male
children until the normal proportion
between the sexes is restored This
seems to have been noted after the
Thirty Years war in Germany, after
the Napoleonic war in France and even
in more recent times after the siege Of
Paris.
