monkey seized the garment and fed with it
to the nearest tree. After much prayer and
supDlication, combined with stone-throw-

fling down the rupees. but varied the per-
Torrance by casting every other coin into
the sacred pool. where it was lost beyond
redemption, as the pool contained. besides
water. a number OF ferocious crocodiles.
The man at once admitted the justice Of
the punishment, and confessed that he was
a milkman. and that the water claimed its
due and proper share Of his gains.
Pools or tanks are an indispensable ac-
compartment of every temple in India.
Water is necessary at every stage OF wor-
ship. though the tanks are commonly ex-
ceedingly foul, for at every hour Of the day
worshipers are throwing into them flowers,
grain. and similar offerings. which. under
torrid sun, soon putrefy. and render the

The tank is as sacred as the temple, and in
numerous cases small shrines are built in
the center of the tank and reached by a
portable bridge not by wading or swimming.
for the pool usually is inhabited by croco-
dies. and on account of this fact more
than one community Of priests has made

Sending a DeeOY Letter.

"You want to know how we get on
to mail clerks or letter-carriers who
steal money from letters, you say" re-
marked postofice inspector. "The
method is simple enough, and yet we
catch them every time. OF course
there are good many schemes we can
work on them, but the least compli-
Gated Is the decoy letter.
when we think a man is opening
letters, we prepare letter and give Il
a semi-fctitious address-to the wrong
street, the wrong number, or some
thing of that sort. We put in dollar
or so, and make it just bulky enough
so that it will attract the clerks atten-
ton when he handles it. These clerks
get so skillful, you know, that they
almost invariably can tell by the sense
Of touch when letter contains money.
This decoy letter is stamped with some
postmark selected, and is thrown into
the clerks or carriers box.
He gobbles it almost every time.
We are on the watch, and if we hear
nothing from it we know that it must

used oftener outside the postofice than

near Bombay. and the grotto temples of
Indra, Wisura, and Ellora, any one of
which for stupendousness Of design and
amount Of work required in its execution
is unequaled by any structure OF modern
times. Only the wealth OF an empire sup
ported by absolute power could have hewn
these monstrouS caves from the solid rock.
But scarcely less labor was expended on
the stone temples technically so-called,
each being hewn from single stone. At
Msvalipuram there lare seven Of these re-
markable relics of a former age. The
smallest OF these is a feet high by II feet
wide, and in two stories. Each temple Is
hewn from a solid block of granite, and the
supposition is that an ancient monarch,
finding these huge powders, determined to
fashion them into temples worthy of the
gods; so, with immense expenditure of
time and labor, the work was done. and
well done, too. for the architectural pro-
portions are perfect, and the collection of
temples thus made, each within afew yards
of the others. is one Of the most extra
ordinary monuments of antiquity.
10 the Hindoo one of the most sacred
spots in the world is Benares, which Is in
deed a city Of temples, since there are no
less than 1,2O0 Of these sacred structures
within its walls. Benares is to the Hindoo
a convenient city, for there are temples to
all manner of deities. and no matter which
he desires to adore the temple Is easily
found. Even the monkey god has here

tanning thousands of well-fed and exceed

temples IN mis- dominions. Immense
piles Of wood were heaped around the
structures, and when the flames we're at
their height water was thrown on the
heated stone. But the old builders had not
labOred in vain, and the work Oftheir hands
resisted both water and fame. Scarcely
crack appears in the walls, and In many
cases even the paintings on the interior
walls are uninjured. More effective were
the efforts of the Moslems when the Pagan
temples were built of brick or Of stone LAID
in courses. Then they could pull down, and
did so with vengeance. In Delhi is shown
mosque built OF the materials OF seven
temples torn down for the sake of the stones
they contained. But the result Is an archi-
tectural failure, for the MoslemS simply
piled the stones together without regard to
their ornamentatlon or to the places they
had form erly filed in the walls. so that two
carved blocks OF huge size may often be
seen with plain slab between them. thus
producing glazing sense of incongruity In
every point of the building.
To the soidity of their construction the
temples Of the Hindoos owe their perma-
hence, character as different from that
observable in Chinese sacred architecture
as night is from day. The Chinese pagoda
seems to have been founded
on that of the celes tial junk. and. as the or
is purely extraneous, simply loaded
on the structure. it falls of almost as easily
as it is put on. and the result is there are
few ancient Chinese temples save those the
feature of which were bor-
rowed from India. But in India and China,
however, the temples of heathendom are
no longer the thronged resorts they once
wee. A few years ago, when the car Of
Juggernaut was brought out for the last
time. no volunteers could be found to tug
at the ropes in the city where a century
earlier willing thousands struggled and
fought with each other for their turn at the

perlence hid his face in the temple. The

light that can be shed upon him. No doubt
great progress has been made by the mis-
sionaries, but that it is commensurate with
the labor and expense can not be believed !;
and one of the chief obstacles in the road
to success is a prejudice among the colored
races against any institution of white ORR
gin. The colored races OF India and China
prefer their own crude agricultural imple-
ments to the most highly improved tools OF
Europe, and on the same principle prefer
their religion to that of the white man. AS
a Hindoo expressed it: The white man
God may be great, we do not deny that; but
the Hindoo's god is good enough for the
Hindoo."
Some one says that the power Of religion
among people may be gagged by the char
acter of their temples and by their rever-
ence for holy places, II the statement be
correct. then the influence Of the various
forms Of heathenism prevalent in India and
China particularly, whatever 1t may be now
must at one time have been stupendous, for
the grandest cathedrals of the middle ages,
while they may be equal. scarcely surpass
the glories of pagan houses OF worship.
Like the medieval cathedrals. pagan tenn
princes, and governments, and also, like the
cathedrals. every resource OF architecture
and art was exhausted to render them
worthy places of prayer and pilgrimage.
As there are many kinds Of pagans. so there
are many varieties Of heather temples, but
in most of them quite as much attention
was paid by the architects to the outside
and surroundings as to the interior of the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1890-01-11

structure. Most Indian temples were at
one time surrounded by walls of great
strength and solidity. and the entrances
were made as beautiful as the resources of
the builders would permit. The gates,
where they still exist. are of brass, deco
rated with that lavishness OF design and
protusion Of ornament peculiar to Oriental
buildings.
The arch surmounting the gateway is
generally the object of much jealous and
careful attention from the sculptor. and
some of the decorations are in a style that
would do credit to the artist Of any age or
country. The sculptors and decorators OF
Siam were particularly good in designing
artistic gates. and many specimens of their
best work may still be seen in the temples
OF that country. The Siamese as BRASS
