A STATE MOVEMENT

The grain growers assert that it has
been universally observed that those
market points for farm products that
have farmers organizations, or indie
pendent buyers who refuse to pool their
business profits invariably obtain bet

also, that at points SO favored the COM

JAPs DISCOVERED AMERICA.
Tradition That Monument Of Bull and
Egg Commemorate Achievement.

The history of Japan, like that OF
many other nations, shows that
America was known TO the ancients
in all parts of the world. AS soon as
the art OF marine navigation was re-
vived among the japanese they cross
ed the Pacific in order to test tine
truth of old traditions, and landed in
Mexico not long after Columbus made
his discoveries.
These old traditions, says the Kan
sas City Journal, have been from time
immemorial kept alive by service Of
ceremonies unto this day, and it Is
unnecessary to say that no evidence
of ancient events is so strong as fes-
rivals and ceremonies instituted to
preserve their remembrance.
The traditional history of Japan in
this matter is a counterpart Of that
of Greece and other Mediterranean
nations, and makes reference to a lost
or sunken island.
In Kaempfer's great work on Japan
CnlS STORY is given.
'Maurigasima was an island in the
Pacific Ocean, famous for porcelain
vessels. The inhabitants were rich
and luxurious and had a contempt for
religion. The King was named Pei
roun. He himself was religious. He
had dream of a coming food. 1t
was to happen when the two faces
of the idols in the temple turned red!
The two idols were called InfoniwoO
and AWun-gods of generation and
destruction. Some one, to play a trick,
one night painted the faces of these
idols red. The King, hearing of the
change Of color, lost not time in get
ting aboard a ship. Then the island
sunk, and all were drowned except
Peiroun. He got safe to China"
But the enumeration of traditions
found among the Japanese which
point to an early knowledge if not
colonization of America does not rest
upon this incident alone In one of
the pagodas is a remarkable monu-
ment, where the bull of agriculture
is portrayed in the act of ripping up
an egg. Now among mythologists
North America IS called the egg OF
the world; and so the Japanese sa-
wants explain this monument as the
emblem of the ancient discovery and
colonization of the continent by
Japan.
The Japanese Columbus and hero OF
the first trip across the Pacific was
Jebis. He has since been deifed,
made the brother of god Tenzio, and
called the Neptune of Japan.

lief in the celestial

ises on agriculture from the time of
Virgil downward. 1t was supposed
to be a kind of mama from heaven,
and it's quality depended greatly on
the favorable or unfayorable juXta-
position of the stars at the time of
its resent.
Although the existence in each
hive of one bee much larger than all
the others was generally recognized
in oIden times, this was believed to be
merely a ruler or king over the rest.
That the large bee was actually the
mother of the whole colony never
seems to have occurred to any one
until recent times This king bee is
very fancifully described as having
"a lofty pace and countenanca eX-
pressing majesty, and white spot in
his forehead glistening like dia-
dem" In each hive also there were
subordinate governors, and leaders,
and captains, and colonies, marked by
crests, tufts. or tasseIs on their heads,
some yellow, some murrey." Among
various other duties it was the king S
part to go out each evening in search
Of any bees that had not returned to
the hive by sunset and to show them
the way home.
From the earliest times honey ap
pears to have been held in extraordi-
nary favor as a universal specific for
human ills. AS a hair restorer, it
was largely recommended, rubbed in
plentifully night and morning, and if
dead bees were dried, pounded and
worked up into thick paste with the
honey its hair producing capabilities
were much enhanced. This mess had
to be plastered on the bald places of
the head overnight, with infallible re-
suits in the morning, if one may
credit certain fifteenth century
writer. For weak eyes the same au-
thority says to take handful of the
heads of bees, burn them and mingle
the ashes with honey gathered in the
dog days. The eyes were then an
uOIuLGu 11UCI oily Will I410 u14ACuI anu
cIearness of vision was the invariable
reward.
In old days the situation Of bee.
hive was a matter of prime import
ance. 1t was to be placed always on
the south side of stream of water
and never in place where there
were echoes, as an echo was very in
furious to bees. A little gravel was to
be put down in the neighborhood Of
the hives, as in windy weather the
bees needed small stones to carry
about in their fight as counterpoises.
The beekeeper was recommended to
shave and keep his head close-crop-
ped, long hair on head or face being
extremely offensive to his charges,
and in attire he was to avoid any
thing of a red color, as this was det-
rimental to the bees.

HONEY FROM HEAVEN.
Ancient Idea That Bee Food Was of
Celestial Origin.

In these days of scientific bee cul-
ture, when bees are trained to pack
their honey in pound boxes ready for
market and are as much under con-
troll of the beemaster as sheep are of
their shepherd, it is difficult to realize
what quaint decisions prevailed only
a few centuries back in everything
relating to the hive and it's inhabi-
tants, says the Chicago News. The
sources and composition Of honey
were subjects for many ingenious
speculations. One old writer aftirms
it to be made Of the ayre, most of
Il at the rising of the starres, chiefly
dogge shining out early in the

doubt as to whether it be the
re of the heavens or a certain
