Mr.. Stoddard delivered tile second

audience, taking for his subject "The
Heart of Old JAPAN Starting from
Toxic he carried his hearers to Kioto by
a most picturesque and romantic route.
Much of the distance was accomplished
in kargos IF that is the way the
name is spelled-a sort of swinging bed
suspended from bamboo pole, in which
the rider is bent almost double. 1t is
impossible in the space at our command
this morning to enumerate the various
superb views of mountain and valley
scenery, of grand old Fuseyama whose
snow covered eminence commands the
reverence of every Japanese, and noun
tain gorges through which dash water
falls that rival in beauty the famous
Bridal Veil of California. The palaces,
temples and tea houses the various
types of Japanese people; the hotels
where aall the comforts of an American
home" could be obtained, were beauti-
fully delineated and described. The
Japanese bellies and their toilets the
manners and customs of the people were
amusingly pictured and explained. The
Buddhist and Shinto religions were
touched upon as well as beautiful illus
trations of the Buddhist temples, and
much attention paid to cloisonne and
lacquer ware. The lecture may safely
be put down as one of Mr.. Stoddard's
