The understandable Tooth.

The temple at Yakadama, Japan, con-
tains a wonderful relic in the shape of
a tooth which, tradition says, one of
the gods pulled from his jaw in order
to have weapon with which to dis
patch an immense cobra. Years ago,
according to the tradition, after the
tooth had been worshiped by heather
devotees for centuries, change Of SEN
timent took place In regard to the relic.
1t was declared to be fraud and was
accordingly ground to a powder and
then thrown into the river. But the
particles came together, so the priests
say, and again formed themselves into
perfect tooth, which was found as
perfect as before the ordeal, quietly re-
posing In the bed of the river. After
this miracle the temple of the sacred
TOOTH" which had also been destroyed
by the unbelievers, was rebuilt and the
tooth again enshrined as an object of
alteration. At present it is kept in a
gold box wrapped in films from the
sacred white spiders web. Nonbeliev-
ers in the power Of the sacred indie
structible tooth say that it is simply q
molar Of some extinct species Of gigan-
tic animal.

to settle, which invitation he accepted
He was ordained in the autumn of the

back in company with Lemuel Stan
dish. Mr. Winter came from Boston,
where he had associated with such en-

himself becoming an ardent patriot,
taking the lead in the Revolutionary
measures adopted In Bath during that
memorable period.
Mr.. Winter married Miss Abigail AL

Plymouth"
Three years after the marriage Of the
Rev. Francis Winter and Abigail Alden
they started to visit a sister of Mrs.
Winter living in Connecticut and in
tended to ride all the way on horse
back, but Mrs. Winter became SO ia
tigued that Mr.. Winter sold one Of the
horses for a carriage and harness. 1t
was the first carriage that ever came
into Maine and was called chaise.
Travelling was so difficult that two ne
groes were employed to accompany
them with shovels and axes to clear
the road Several times the chaise had
to be taken apart and lifted over fallen
trees. The minister's parishioners
thought that it was putting on too
much style for their pastor to ride in a
carriage, and In consequence Mr.. Win
ter sold it. This was in 1771. 1t was a
two wheeled chaise, the body resting
on leather braces, which were attached
to wooden springs Journal.

when the devil started forth from his
own place to the garden Of Eden he
was too lazy to walk and begged all
the animals, one after another, to car
ry him. All refused except the SER
pent, which was then a quadruped and
the most beautiful of all beasts. Yield
Ing to the entreaties of Satan. the SER
pent took up the devil on its back and
carried him the rest of the way, no
one knows how far, and after the con-

pent and punish It, so Michael cut of
its legs, and it was doomed hence
