ANIMAL SUPERSTITIONS.

Chief Among Them In Japan la the Fear of the Fox. Chief among Japanese animal superstitions Is the fear of the fox, which is believed to have supernatural power. Shrines called "Inarl Jlnsha," in -which the fox is enshrined as a deity, are numberless. The name of the deity written in Chinese characters signifies fox, and from this it came to be generally accepted that the god was really a fox. Its natural cunning la greatly enlarged upon, and it is believed to be capable of misleading and deceiving human beings, which causes many to pray to placate the fox god. The badger is the next most dreaded animal in the superstitious mind. It is believed to have power to annoy people, its particular habit being a transformation into a Buddhist priest, in which disguise it is guilty of various 'deceptions and impositions. The crying of weasels and the baying of dogs are considered evil omens, and ouch insignificant happenings send a shudder over the believers. , On the other hand, a light colored mouse in the house is a sign of happiness, good omens are presaged by what are considered the pleasant cries of crows in the morning, while the so called unpleasant notes forecast death and other dire disasters. If a spider falls from the ceiling in the morning he brings pleasure, but if at night it Is thought reverses will follow. To see a centipede at night means happiness. Pearson's Weekly.

Countess Russell, whose . American marriage with Earl Russell' sent hita to an English prison for a month on a

charge of bigamy, is devoting herself

to a diterary career. She has just finished a novel called "An Excellent

Mystery," part of which is said to be

founded on her own experiences as a young girl in Ireland.

Eighth And Main.

Some boys were down at the Morrisson Reeves Library yesterday hunting material for a debate on "Whether Richmond should own it's street cars." There are plenty of arguments for and against the municipal owner- - ship of public utilities from Tom Johnson's autobiography to more recondite reading, such as the 'Annals of the American Academy,' but one of the beat arguments for ownership of public utilities by the people, or, at least of complete regulation of public service companies, is furnished daily by the T. H. I. & E. For instance, yesterday, if Mr. Todd as the President o fthat company, had boarded a Main street car at Seventeenth, he would have changed his seat twice to escape the deluge poured in through the roof of one of his cars. Bad service of public utilities multiplies the arguments for doing away with it. We suggest to the boys who are hunting arguments for municipal ownership that they need go no farther than Eighth and Main streets.

How Shall We Measure. Marketmaster Taylor will have his day and court at the next council meeting. He can then answer the charges laid at his door last Monday night by Councilman Evans. It is not our purpose to hold any man guilty until he has a chance to file an answer. But in the meantime there are things which can be said about the office of marketmaster and the inspector of weights and measures. Before Mr. Taylor is condemned or praised there ought to be some standard for the office which he holds. Mayor Zimmerman Monday n!gh.t remarked 'That it was not the marketmaster's business to turn himself into a detective and police officer and hunt down all the offenders over town. Said the Mayor: "If anybody has reason to believe he is being cheated, let him file an affidavit and then let Mr. Taylor go out and prosecute the case." The second proposition was that Mr. Taylor had an average of efficiency, at least as good as any other man who had held the office of marketmaster. The mayor was certain of this, he said, because he had spent most of his boyhood days in the neighborhood of the markethouse. If these two things are the true standard for marketmaster and inspector of weights and measures, we imagine that Mr. Taylor can present a pretty strong case when he comes before council at its next meeting. But perhaps this is not the true standard for the office which Mr. Taylor holds.

On the day that Mayor Zimmerman, Street Commissioner Genn and Inspector Taylor journeyed to Rushville to meet Jim Watson and his guests 'Sunny Jim Sherman and Joe Cannon, there was a chance in this very town of Richmond to hear the best known authority on the subject of the qualifications and duties of an inspector of weights and measures. Isador Wulfson, of Indianapolis, came to Richmond that night to tell his story. It was remarkable in its simplicity. Isador Wulfson sprang into international notice for two reasons: 1. He did turn detective and policeman in hunting down offenders. 2. He did not content himself with being no worse than his predecessors.

By which standard in Richmond are we to judge our marketmaster and inspector of weights and measures? By the old standard of job-hunting inefficiency? Or, by the standard of Isador Wulfson?

An alert marketmaster and inspector of weights and measures can save consumers ten times his salary for Wulfson has saved hundreds of thousands to the households of Indianapolis. When Mr. Taylor makes his report to council (which, incidentally, council has the power to exact from him, Mayor Zimmerman to the contrary) we suggest that he take that opportunity to' tell first what his du- ' ties are and second how he has lived up to them. . Then the people of Richmond and their councilmen can use any standard they wish in judging him. ..,..

Constant readers of the daily papers of our large cities sometimes wonder whether anything good is left in American life, and to them such a characterization as this, by an Engloish contributor to the London Inquirer, will be pleasant reading: "The liking of Americans for outdoor pleasures, their appreciation of what are called the 'sterling qualities,' their love of children, their self-reliance, their wit and good humor these things are delightful to recall."

Measurements have shown that on a clear sunny day the sun transmitted to the earth energy which corresponded to about 7,000-horse power per acre. At present all that is practically wasted, or rather generaly in localities where any addition to the temperature could well be dispensed with. Attempts have from time to time been made to utilize this enormous supply" of energy, but not with any measure of success.

THE ONLY SURE RHEUMATISM CURE ON EARTH If you suffer from rheumatic agony or have a relative or friends who is tortured, read the following thankful letter, then go to Leo. H. Fihe and get a 50c cent bottle of RHEUMA. He sells it on money-back plan. "One year ago I had a most severe attack of rheumatism, lasting over nine weeks. Two bottles of RHEUMA cured me so completely I have never had the slightest return of the disease. We have a friend, an old lady, living here, who had rheumatism for more than a year, and she too was cured. Her joints were all stiffened and swollen, and she had previously tried everything for rheumatism she had ever heard of." George M. Ross. 308 N. Warren Ave., Saginaw, Mich., July 27, 1911. RHEUMA starts to drive the uri acid from your system within a few hours after the first dose. It acts on kidneys, stomach, liver and bladder and brings blessed relief in one or two days.

TIPPING IN FRANCE. If One Doesn't Pay Up, Than Life la Made a Burden. Why do we pay pourbolrea la France? Simply because if we didn't life wouldn't be worth llTing. Here is what happens to the man who gives no tip to the waiter: After a cognac and eau-de-selt be summoned the garcon and gave him the exact price of his consummation. Then he rose to go. but before he had time to leave the cafe the waiter tripped over a stool and emptied on to the nontipper"s handsome fur coat a glass of sticky sirup which he was carrying to another customer. The clumsy waiter begged a thousand pardons and immediately made things worse by seizing a greasy cloth and rubbing the slrnpy substance into the coat. Suppose a tenant does not tip his concierge.

CO, gentle reader, don't suppose But what today each rhymester knows He couldn't make "flows' rhyme with clothes.") Aft, Herrick, 'twould have made you choke Had Julia's gown or dress or cloak Have been made of Chicago smoke. Just breathing it has made us grieve.

SIDELIGHTS ON SHAKESPEARE. Hon. Marc Antony was addressing the populace in the Forum. The audience was with him. He hitched up his toga with his left hand, and made a sweeping gesture with his right, he exclaimed: V "For Brutus is an honorable man!" Then he stage-whispered the sonorous Latin equivalent for "Nit!" Such is sarcasm in the classics. "What is the night?" Col. Macbeth was stumbling up the castle stairs, leaving a muddy trail to indicate the extent of his sojourn in the moat as he wended his homeward way from the ward meeting. Lady Macbeth sniffed her best sleepwalking sniffs she stood at the head of the stairs. Having sniffed, she caustically said: "Almost at odds with morning which is which?" And the stage manager soon had his cue to ring down the curtain, on Act Third. "The play's the thing wherewith I'll catch the conscience of the king." So saying, Hamlet designed a winding staircase and a wave of reform for his dramatization of "Sapho." The Apparition remarked confidentially to Macbeth: "Macbeth shall never vanquished be until great BIrnam wood to Dunsinance hill shall come against him." Lapsing from blank verse for a moment. Col. Macbeth observed to his chief of police: "I don't know who this Birnam Wood is. You'd better look him up and pinch him for contemplated lese majeste." Which goes to show that the Kaiser is not the first monarch who has had to keep his eye opent

Not a Distinction. ' The detective was trying to get a few pointers from the man who bad employed him to hunt for a runaway boy. i "Has he any distinguishing marks about him?" he asked. - "Yes," said the father, frowning Impatiently. "The distinguishing mark about him. sir, is that he looks like me." jV; "Hmr mused the detective. "I should hardly call that a distinction. That's a handicap." Chicago Tribune.

A Surprise For Her. He returned to the automobile in triumph, bearing a big pitcher of sweet milk and two glasses, says the Cleveland Leader. It was more than the party was able to consume. When he returned the glassware and asked for his bill the good woman who Beemed to boss the rlaee said. "Oh. bout a nickel will be enough. 1 reckon." But Ihe urbanite figured that a quarter was much more commensurate with the service and produced the coin In evidence of his sentiment The woman took it. not without some hesitancy. "Land sakes!" sbe exclaimed. "Did it taste that good?"
