A Japanese Temple.

But the stranger in Japanese cit, finds most
interest in the temples for on them is layshed all
the native idea Of architecture and art. In style
and beauty they far excel buildings of a similar
nature in China, and though not always placed
the most conveniently for access, the most pet
uresque and beautiful spots in all the towns sur
roundings are chosen for their sites On the
mountains steep sides in Kyoto, nesting among
the tall trees, is the temple of Kiyomidru, built
upon huge framework Of heavy timbers, so
three sides Of its broad veranda are lifted hun
dred feet in air. A hand rail surrounds thi.
yeranda /; but as the altitude is so great and the
Japanese inclination to jump so strong, an outer
chera.r de .f,rse Of sharpcned stakes has been
placed upon the extreme caves A hundred
yards or so away the upper stories Of the charm
ing square pagoda, with its many balconied floors
and massive caves dropping melody from hun
dred ever tinkling bells, lin up above the tree
tops. Within the temple the gods have orderly
arrangements; the walls are hung with Japanese
pictures and several foreign paintings OF .cenes
in Japanese history. In the centre Of the room
hangs the portrait Of woman evidently painted
by a European; and what strikes wonder to the
European mind is to see this painting covered
with what schoolboys inelegantly call "spi,-ball,
The explanation is simple. The woman hn. he
come goddess, and believers in her anxious to
learn whether such and such good luck will come
to them, chew piece Of paper into pellet and
throw 1t at the portrait. II it sticks good luck i,
assured to them. One would think that the pa
per would be masticated very fine to insure this
happy ending. Such portraits are frequent in
the temples, but are usually covered with wire
screen to render the placing OF the pellet more
difhcult; but this painting is free Of the screen
and the goddess must be Lady Bountful.
These temples are not always strictly devoted to
religious services, for one OF the most prominent
hotels in kiyoto is in a temples courtyard. Its
table: are often surrounded by white robed, shaw
en- priests, sitting in stiff back chairs. eating
European viands with knives and fork. and
drinking European wines from cut glasses with
all the glsto in life.

The Agricultural Press.

Agricultural papers, says the
Home Farm have, sometimes made
quite "cardo of the fact that their
editors "live ON the farm" or wrote
from the FARM" but l can say, as the
result of much tho light and consider
able practical ex .er;ence, tina an
agricultural paper cannot he edited
from the farm, however pretty and
sort of practal it may sound to say
80. A man eau no doubt write q
good article from the farm, but to
write good article and to perform
editorial work, are two different
things. The editor like the captain
must be on deck often-he must be
at his establishment. There are a
thousand things he must attend to.
His exchanges are to be examined,
his correspondence revised, his
friends entertained. Having an ed !.
itor, ~ some papers pretend they

Breathing a Foul Atmosphere.

Above all, it is filthy to live in a foul atmo,-
phere. We do not battle again and again in the
same water, or enjoy eating and drinking from
unwashed dishes. Why be fastidious about such
matters during the day and careless at night !?
The seeds OF disease are floating in impure mir
and find real access to our bodies. When in
sleep the organs are less able to resist the nox
ious influences. When in earlier times the
more careless manner Of building house. let the
air freely into the rooms around the loosely fit
ting window frames, and the wide open e-places
readily drew out the foul air, the inmates of the
dwellings according to modern ideas) were
more uncomfortable, but they were cleaner. The
ideal OF the modern building seems to be a herm-
etically closed box, imperyious to air from with.
out niggardly in the means of allowing the air
to escape, economy in the use Of fuel, prodiQal-
ity in the waste Of life. do not propose to crit
cise the carefully b1ilt house of the present day.
but simply to emphasize the additional care used
in making the dwelling warm and dry, must be
supplemented by equal painstaking in furnish
ing sufficient means for the egress and inores,
of fresh air, not necessarily cold air. but pure air
and this accomplished with as little draught as
possible. The possible danger to health is in
the current of air passing so quickly over the
body as to rapidly exhaust the heat producing a
chill. These required conditions are readily OBJ
tanned by an open fireplace on the one hand and
slightly opened windows on the other hand. with
screen before the windows if needed. You car
readily prove if your ventilating is sufficient by
occupying the room for time and then leaving
the room, breathing the fresh air from out Of
doors for a few moments, and returning to youl
room. Now your sense of smell i. a fair mean,
