SHINTO PRIESTS EXERCISE
EVIL SPIRITS OF RRIDCE

There Is bridge in Toxic over
which no bride will pass. They call 1t
the Bridge of the Strange Disappear
ance, and any woman crissine 1t at
the time of marriage will surely be
divorced, says Toxic dispatch to the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat
A few days ago, however, the spell
which overhung the mysterious bridge
was officially removed. Shinto priests
in procession came to do battle with
the forces of darkness. Duly robed and
equipped with potent charms, thew
formed themselves into two parties.
One recited prayers, while the other
passed to and fro over the brid pe
striking with long staffs at the spir-
its which they alone were empowered
to see. This done. the bridge was pro-
nounced open" and safe for the most
timid bride.
The incident to which the bridge
owes its Ill omened reputation dates
from the thirteenth century. In the
neighb borhood, says tradition, lived one
Nakano "a wealthy but unpatriotic man.
whose constant fear was that his goods
would be seized to swell the national
war chest So he buried his treasure
In boxes by the river, slew the SER

the body into its dark waters. Tis sin
was visited upon his daughter, who.
thrice married, was thrice left widow.
Distracted. the unhappy girl fled from
her fathers house. but in crossing the
bridge she suddenly disappeared and
was never seen again.
Since then her spirit and that of the
murdered servant have haunted the
scene of their i'll fate. but now the

TO be cool, says the New York Press.
Except in sickness, when the tempera
ture of the body is increased by many
degrees and is called fever. we are never
so hot as at the moment we are born.
The temperature of a newborn babe
is higher than that of sts mother, rising
TO 1o2 degrees Fahrenheit, but during that
first day it goes down rapidly as far as
80 and then rises again to a little more
than the normal temperature of the
adult. With this exception age does not
change the temperature, which is in tho
normal man 9s.6 on the average
The temperature arises as much as
degrees in the "a hours. The minimum
is &.5, and is reduced at about a. M.
while the maximum, 99.5. is attained at
in the afternoon. 1t is notable that
fasting or sleep does not alter these tenn
peratures: those persons, however, who
work at night and rest by day reverse
the order of the variation in tempera
ture. Thus bakers who work at night
have the highest temperature at a. m.
and the minimum toward evening.

shows the terrible effect of
RHEUMATISM In Mr. Delano's
case. You who have suffered the
tortures can easily imagine the
racking pains he endured. When
only a youth rheumatism became
chronic with him and his joints
were so distorted and swollen that
he was nearly helpless. He tried
medicine of every description, even
125 bottles of one remedy. but
nothing did more than to give him
a little temporary relief. He tried
doctors and specialists by the score
with no better results.
At last, after spending thousands
of dollars and suffering untold
agony for thirty-six years, he dis
covered a remedy which cured him,
but | will give you the benefit of
his experience for nothing.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A Polish couple came before a justice
of the peace to be married. The young
man handed him the marriage license, ana
the pair stood up before him.
Join hands," said the justice of the
peace.
They did 80 and the justice looked at
the document, which authorized him to
unite in matrimony Zacharewicz Perzyn-

'Ahem,'' he said, 'Zacha-h' m-ski, do

Requisitions.

recommended that you change the
law governing requisitions upon other
states for the return Of fugitives from
Justice of this state, so as to require
the expenses connected with the SER
vice of said acquisitions and the re-
turn of the fugitives to be paid by the
counties, instead of the state, as al
present. Since i have been in office,
/ have required, before issuing re-
ouisitions, that a certificate be fur
nished by the county supervisor or the
county desiring the return or the
fugitive, to the effect that the county
would bear the expenses in any eVen'
except that the fugitive was returned,
convicted and served his sentence In
the state penitentiary. in which evenI
the state would bear the expense. In
this manner l have saved thousands
of dollars to the people OF the state,
and have prevented the use of re-
uuisitions where the purpose was to
use the criminal statues TO enforce the
payment of a debt. Even where the
county agreed to pay the expenses
have examined very carefully to see II
requisition was desired to collect a
debt, and have set the stamp of my
disapproval upon every such e1ort
However, even with this careful scru-
tiny, and though affidavits were re-
auired from the prosecutors where the
violation of such statutes as obtaining
goods under false pretense was charg-
ed, that the prosecution was not
brought and would not be used fol
the collection of a debt, in one or two
cases il has come to my knowledge
afterwards that the requisition was sc
used. However, the matter of making
the counties bear the expenses of the
requisition has prevented this abuse
almost entirely since / have been gov
ernor-that and the fact that l have
let it be known in no uncertain terms
that the criminal statutes could not be
used to enforce civil process, so fal
as my office was concerned.
Where a fugitive is returned to the
state the county has the right to Sc
lect, after his conviction, if he be con-
victed. whether he shall serve on the
county chaingang or be sent to the
state penitentiary. If a money fine
is imposed, the county gets 1t. If ne
be acquitted, the expense of his re-
turn has resulted from the effort Of
the county to secure his conviction
In any view of the matter the ex
pense of requisition should be borne
by the county where it is desired tC
return the fugitive for trial, and thi:
matter should be nXed by statute.
The State Farms.
l respectfully recommend that yol
discontinue all work on the state
farms. except the reformatory in Lex
