One Of the Understandable things in

which nature has done in the way Of

little advance 10 being made in that in

time is coming when this county will be
known Is the greatest dairying section Of
this state.
Some peculiar comparisons can be
made by looking over the tax rolls Of this
county. For instance, it requires one
roll book of 46l pages to list the property
inside the city limits Of Ocosta. This
10 more than it takes to list the whole oil
Olympia, the capital Of our state. Further,
it requires more seok room to list Ocosta

AN AVENUE OF IDOLS.
A Double Row Of Japanese Buddhss
Which Cannot he Counted.

A Double Row Of Japanese Buddhas
Which Cannot he Counted.
Close to this interesting pool is tho
avenue Of images, representing tEo
Amida Buddha. The idols vary in size,
but are similar in design. There are sew,
eral hundred Of them altogether. aud
they sit facing one another in two long
rows. We asked the little Jap who
brought us to the place how many Of
them there were. In an awed whisper
he replied, "Nobody knows" Then he
told us how impossible it was to count
them. Each image was made unsightly
by having numbers of little bits of paper
stuck on to it and chewed bits Of paper
which had been spat at it. The object Of
this disfiguration we failed to discover,
though our friend HOBO informed us they
were put Oh by the young priests, part
Of whose novitiate it was to attempt to
count the Buddhas.
There is evidently something wrong
with these idols, for no one has ever
been able to reckon them up the same
twice over, in spite Of sticking piece
Of paper to tick each one off. OF course
two interpretations Englishmen were
not to be humbugged by native stories,
so M. (my travelling companion) and I,
thinking the whole thing ridiculous, de-
eided to count the mysterious images.
We started on cooperative lines, each
taking side Of the avenue. Our efforts,
however, were fruitless, for we had not
numbered of more than dozen each,
before M. (whose eyes were not so good
as they had once been) shouted across to
me: II say, saw one Of them on your
side moving. I'm certain Ibid. They're
uncanny. Let's give it up" This inter
ruption Of course upset all my calcula-
tions, but we soon came on the moving
image, which turned out to be nothing
more than one of the old Frenchmen,
seated peacefully among the statues and
looking in his white clothes for all the
world like jolly, fat, old Buddha.-

will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try Liver Remedy once and note the
difference. But take only SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR is SIMMONS
