HOLD DEER IN REVERENCE Peculiar Regard for Animal Is Enter tained Throughout the Jap anese Empire. From time immemorial deer have been held in reverent regard by the Japanese. Herds are kept in com pounds, and the highest respect is paid to the animals. In olden times the shogun gave the people such a strict order to protect the sacred animals that if anyone happened to hurt or kill them he was put to death on the spot. It was a period of terror. Even at the present day the deer are so tame and abundant in the shrine grounds that they, in fine weather, stroll round to the streets by twos and threes and surround passers-by, asking for food, and sometimes holding their sleeves in their mouths in an affection ate manner. Once a year some of the deer are caught by means of a net with a han dle by several tamers tin service of the Kasuga Shrine Office) and taken to an enclosure, where their splendid horns are cut off with a saw, while a crowd of spectators watch the work with brea'hless Interest 'admission ten sen, equal to about 3 cents).

An obsolete form of power, at one time used in making countries, religion and literature, but now superseded by the higher psychology. In former times imagination was employed by children in playing games, and in the making of mud pies out of mud and real soldiers out of wood.

At one time, when man was crude, imagination was thought to be serviceable. The notion. however, along with mythology and other follies, has long since been ex ploded, the greatest efficiency having been demonstrated to lie along the lines of least resistance, which in cludes among other things, playground supervision, department store tactics, child labor, white slavery and curren cy reform.-Life. Tricks of the Badger. So widely do the holes of badgers ramify that Col. Alford Lucta, a Brit ish sportsman, had a force of eight men digging for ten days and finally abandoned the attempt to come up with the badgers. It is believed that badgers spring traps by rolling over them on their back. The operation has been observed by many credible witnesses, to say nothing of the fro quent discovery In traps of hairs from badgers' backs. Among their fae vorite foods is honey. At the London soo one may often see a visitor with a pot of honey scraping out the sweet with a walking stick and then giving the end of the stick to badgers to suck. Formerly badger meat was prtized in England, the hind quarters being made into hams, which, when cured, were said to be as good as the buest bacon.
