had great luck, each bringing home
strings of about 60 fine trout. They
were very proud of their catch and
exhibited the fish to friends, allowing
that no such show of trout had been
seen in Old Town this year. CHIEF
Fish and Game Warden Frank Per-
kins of Bradley was quite interested
in the catch. He said that it was as
fine a string of brook trout as he ever
saw, but that it would also be quite
expensive. He said that the strings
would cost each of the fishermen
about $45, for the law allows only 20
trout to a man, with a fine of $40 for
violation and 81 for each fish over
the limit. The fishermen, in court
Monday, told the judge that they
didn't know anything about any such
law. The judge said that this time he
would let them off with a fine of SIS

Toxic. MAY 26.-Although it is near
" two years since the death of the
Emperor Mutsuhito, it will be another
two years before his successor, the
Emperor Yoshihito, is fully enthroned,
according to all the Japanese rites.
The postponement of the coronation
festivities, which had been arranged
for the coming fall, is bemoaned by the
whole japanese people, but the death
of the Dowager Empress necessttates
a long period of national mourning ana
1t is a sacriIegious thing TO use at the
coronation ceremony the seed OF rice
that has been ripened during season
of sorrow.
A part of the coronation ritual had
been observed prior to the death of
the Empress Dowager, however. The
Imperial ancestors had been duly
notified that the ceremonies were
planned for the coming fall, and upon
the death of the Dowager Empress,
the ancestors were again visited at
their various shrines and notified that
the ceremonies would be deferred un-
til 1916.
In Toxic. the Emperor himself made
the announcement before the Imperial
sanctuary in the palace. This is the
most sacred of the shrines where tins
spirit of the grand ancestor, Amate-
rasu- Omikami, goddess of the sum-,
is enshrined Here, also, are the
three sacred symbols of the throne, the
metal mirror, the sword, and the
coma shaped jewel, around each OF
which is woven the tradition that
they were all handed down by the
goddess of the sum-" the Imperial
grand ancestor, to her grandson,
Ninigi- no mikoto, on the occasion OF
the latter's descent to the island en-
pire from the heavenly region. When
the sun goddess conferred these treas
ures upon her grandson she solemniy
told him to respect them and enshrine
them in the palace.
She told him that the sacred mirror
(Which was the most important OF the
three. representing the spirit of the
sun goddess) should be held in highest
respect and the imperial descendant
should regard it as he would the spirit
of his grandmother The treasures
were handed down to Emperor Jimmu,
the first of the imperial line, through
emperor as the symbol of the throne.
The sacred sword, one of the three
treasures, also has a romantic history.
In the dim prehistoric days the
brother of Amaterasu Omikami, who
was a very heroic and restless deity
came down to the island empire, being
driven out from the heavenly region
by the sun goddess While travelling
through the province of Izumo he hap
pened to kill a very big boa construc-
tor which had been terrifying the peo-
pie and found rare sword in its tail.
Returning to the heavenly region he
presented it to the sun goddess, who
later bestowed it to her grandson to-
gether with the mirror and jewel.
The coma-shaped jewel, last of the
sacred treasures, is also believed to
have been made at the time Of the sun
goddess by one of her followers but no
exact description of the jewel is avail
able. That is a sacred secret of the
sanctuary.
The ceremonies at this imperial
