CHINESE TEMPLES.

GEsphic sketch of the Chinese temples
Eg Canton 1t would take us long
sszAs to visit all the idol temples, or
joss houses" as they are called The
word joss is not chinese word.
bat corruption of the Latin word
Hea1us-first used by the Portuguese !;
the Chinese would not understand us
were we to use the term. A look into
one OF two of our temples will be suffi-
eient for our curiosity. Every city in
Chana has one or two which is called
tine city temple, dedicated to the god
OF the city, and these are more resorted
lothian those of any other god.
Going up to the heart of the town,
We find the temple in one of the prin-
cspd streets. There is such crowd i'll
ffust of it THAT we can hardly get
alsHg -not worshipers, but here at the
entrance are gamblers, fortune tellers
qEzck doctors, hucksters of all sorts.
Nsw by man is keeping up tremen-
dnus racket on a big drum and calling
upon the crowd to come and see I'll
ger and other curiosities that he has on
exhibition. On one side of the wide
passage are rooms containing plaster
images which tell the story of the fu-
taEe life, as the buddhists understand
1.-THE torrents OF the wicked. One
nfan being ground up in grist mill.
The devils are turning the stone, and
the victim has been put in head first.
You see only his legs and feet sticking
out of q hole in the stone. These peo-
pie believe in the transmission of souls,
that is, that the wicked will live in the
future In the shape of oxen, asses,
monkeys, snakes and all sorts of ami
rnz1s, and here is the representation of
the change. A boy is changing to
aaog one man has just begun to take
ON the head of an OK another has be-
come an ass-nothing very strange in
that, you will say. We see no women
eF girls taking the form of donkeys or
other shapes, for they believe that wo-
nsn have no souls. There is enough
aAout this temple to keep us staring by
the hour-great gilt idols, fifteen feet
high long crimson streamers hanging
from the roof /; hundreds of small gilt
images-the goddess of flowers with
her thirty muses. room after room
hung with banners and advices rooms
where the story tellers are sitting with
listening crowds around them.
There is a woman worshipping before
aH idol, throwing upon the ground
two pieces of wood, which are fiat on
one side and round on the other-they
are luck blocks if one fiat surface is
the result of the throw the day will be
Lucky. She rises, touches off bundle
Of fire crackers and her worship is
dome. So many fire crackers are let off
throughout the city, as acts of worship,
that it is like the Fourth of July all
the time.
We're there time We might have a
long talk about the temple of the five
gssliis also the fve-storied pagoda, the
temple of five hundred gods also we
might talk of the flower gardens, wher e
the shrubs are trained in the form of
goats, horses dragons and great many
osher shapes. We might ramble
through these narrow streets for week
and we should all the time come upon
something new and strange which
wauid call forth our wonder and per-
hsps make us laugh outright.
