\ Ouain; japanese Town.

Humphrey E. Kcndricll, former res
Ident OF Santa Barbara, who has Just
returned from u residence of several
years in Japan, gives an int re-tiny de
scription OF a little mountain town
named Nara in that country.
Every one, or almost every one, in
Nara has u deer" said Nh kendrick,
and they are as plentiful there a dogs
in an American town, while around the
temples arc great numbers, all sacred
10 the Japanese. And they are very
tame, coming up even to the stranger,
an / almost begging for gingerbread, Of
which they are very fond, and which the
tourist is expected 10 buy FOR them.
When the Emperor. a grea; many years
ago. came into Nara, and Nara, you
know, was the first capital of Japan, he
rode on white deer, and that at once
made the deer sacred, and at the same
time 1t became fashionable to own one,
and now they are the most common
thing to be seen in the place. unless 1t
he lanterns, which ar actually without
number, and OF every kind and quality.
A lantern in japan is very different II ON
one here, for there they are stone pill
lars. although there are some OF metal,
and made TO be suspended. l saw some
OF bronze in one of the temples which
had been broug from holland long ago.
But while there are 50 many, the
Japanese will never count them. That
would be a very wicked thing in the
sight Of the gods, who keep the num' G!
careful secret. And though sacrl-
legious foreigners have made the at
tempt. n o two have ever count' dihcm t: c
same.
Another feature is The goldfish ponds
no such fish as YOU see here u
twelve and fourteen inches loGg. and Of
such deep color, darker than orange
even. And those with the faE-tails are
beautiful. All the londs and lakes are
iull of them, and, as the water is very
clear, it is marvellous thing 10 stand
on the shore and watch them dart
through the ripples, and when cut in a
boat the very bottom assumes a golden
