DANGEROUS PASTIME FOR BOYS
Fish Truck is Liable to Claim a
Victim from their Number.

Since there is no rules or ordinances
children from playing with
and getting mangled by the wheels OF
the trucks on the Fish & Mercantile
railway, running from the east end of
the Cobb dock to the freight depot, it
might be we'll to teach them how to
prevent mussing up the track. A fa-
vorite pastime with the boys is to get
on the car, have it, go just as fast as
possible, and then see who can jump OIL
in front and get out of the way with the
closest rub. Many of the boys fall, as
they strike the ground, and scramble
out of the way by rolling over and over
or running on their all.fours. Those
who allow their children to participate
in this hazardous pastime should in
struct them to stretch out, not too
close but parallel with the rails, after
they fall, lay as close to the ground as
possible, and the heighth of the car will
allow it to pass over the PROSTATE form
and leave no smearing or other obJec-
tionable sight on the rails.

JAPAN'S ANCESTRAL GODS

One Of the most marvellous manifestations
of patriotic and religious enthusiasm in mod
ern Japan was occasioned recently by the
transference OF the imperial shr!nes at Ise to
their new tabernacle Just completed, the Lon
don Standard says. This remarkable Shinto
festival may be witnessed only every ~ years.
when the temples Of the ancestral gods are
reconstructed and the sacred objects are re-
moved TO their new abode. The Ise temples
have been thus renewed every score of years
since A. ID. $50 at least and for how long be-
fore that no one knows, the present occasion
being the fftyseventh rebuilding on record.
Such a periodic reconstruction will appear
quite necessary when II Is recollected that on
these shrines no mortal hand is ever permit
ted to execute repairs. After they are built
the gods of the nation take possession OF them
and thenceforward they are not touched till
they go the way OF all things.
The work of rebuilding the sacred shrines
begins almost as soon as the last reconstruc-
tion is complete by the app intment of an i'm
perial commission intrusted with the impor-
tant enterprise. Every stage is marked by
religious ceremonies, from the telling Of the
trees to the driving OF the last nall The com
pletion Is emphasized by a special festival OF
publication, after which the temples pass from
the hands of the commissioners to the priestIy
custodians of the imperial shrines
Finally comes the great festival OF remov-
ing the ancestral gods and the sacred treas
ures and relics to the new holy Of hoIes,"
which took place recently. II Is computed that
no fewer than 10000 persons were present on
the night OF the actual removal Though the
august spectacle takes place at night the
preparation for II appears to go on for two or
three days previously. but the ceremonies of
the notable day itself are the most interesting
The day opened with the appearance before
the new temples of specially chosen virgin,
who went through peculiar ceremony OF
burying In the ground before the shrine a Jar
containing offerings TO the god OF earth
Later in the day began long procession
OF priests In gorgeous robes OF green and gold
chanting weird litanles and monotonIng sutras
TO the strains Of archaic Instruments Il Is
affirmed that the service has in no respect
been changed during the last thousand years
With the settling down of darkness came the
great function OF removal. A detachment OF
priests, led by priestly representative OF the
imperial house. went into the soon 20 be aban.

writer was the Baroness Nakajima. As a

lowed TO go to boys school, there being no
high schools for girls at that time. Her fame
as scholar became known at court and she
was appointed a teacher of learning to the
