was it painful stiffness, but 1t
caused him to twist his head around

behind him over his left shoulder. and
his head was rigid in that pose.
"Of all the COMPOUNDED trials a man
was ever subjected to-" he said, this
is the limit. They say TO look OH

Japanese Masks of Shame.

One of the most unusual features OF
a japanese court to a stranger is the
fact that each prisoner has his head
covered by wicker mask, more like
an inverted waste-basket than any
thing else, the object of which is to
prevent recognition of the prisoner, to
permit him to hide his shame under
the disguise and, very possibly, to pre-.
vent him from making a bolt for lib
erty.
The sight Of n prisoner so arrayed Is
CHASTITY, the mask bringing up the sug-
gestion of the hangman's cap.
Once in the prisoners box, how
ever, the masks are removed, while
the prisoners sit with deeply bowed
heads In an attitude of the utmost hu.

WHY
UNDERGROUND Workers
Are Superstitious

Underground workers in cea and
other mines are full of superstHions,
some of which are extremely weird
Darkness means mystery, and mag"
nation has created various hobg0hflns
that are commonly believed to TURK
in such subterranean places.
For instance there is the ladder
dwarf hunchbacked demon with
large head and enormously long ana
powerful arm. His favorite trick IS I"
climb the ladders in mines and. as ne
passes the rungs, to kick them out one
by one.
In Germany the mines are hnuhted
by two supernatural beings called NICK
81 and Kubold--the former being oe-
nevolently disposed and the latter EVIL,
~ mlschievous. They are the Sh"ii'eS
who ill or empty the lodos. Nickel II
properly propitiated, will reproduce
metal-bearing ores as fast as they are
removed.

blows out the miners lamps and IT
hn catchps a man alone he may dras
him about by the nose or hair. II lie
has a special crouch against an iho'-
viduaI miner he will throw him down
ladder or crush him beneath DOWN
fall of rock.
TO gain the goodwill OF these
formidable COLLINS the miners leave
hrood- cake and even money In odd
places. And as a special means OF ap.
messing them, two metals, nickel ana
cobalt have been named after them.
