religion is practiced. Here, too, was
an old banyan tree, said to have been
presented to the empress of Japan by
the empress of India. Then there is a
temple at the head of a thousand stairs.
As the jinrikishas couldn't mount these
stairs it is needless to say that we
didn't visit this particular place.
The chief attraction at Ueno park
was the excellent dinner we had. We
took run out to the castle enclosure,
where we saw as fine a system of
walks and moats as ever was built.
The imperial houses and government
buildings, such as the army and navy
building and court houses, are well
constructed. Japan is free from the
smell which confronts you in other
places of the Oriental world. Wide and
well kept streets and roads, and thoro
sanitary condition speak we'll for the

Dia Duddha, an immense idol fifty feet

MRS. DEWEY-EAsTER FASHIONS
These Two Subjects Divide the Interest
of This Weeks Supplement.

Easter will soon be upon US, and
new clothes will be necessity. They
should be as stylish as possible; that
is foregone conclusion. Daisy Mays
interesting fashion letter in this
weeks supplement- to the Courier
deals with post-lenten fashions and
every woman will want to read it. On
the same page is an excellent article
on the personality of Mrs. Dewey.
Now that the admiral has come out for
president, and it is said that his wife
is back of his candidacy, and will man>
age his campaign, all information
about this capable woman is to be well
coined. This article is written by Ma
ry Scott Rowland, and is in her own
charming style.
The closing chapters OF the serial
story, and regular departments of the
supplement add further interest to
this weeks issue. 1t is well worth
reading.

KEARsARGE IN BAD STORM.

Forty.Knot- Gale.
Norfolk, Va, April 6.-The battle
ship Kearsarge returned to Hampton
Roads yesterday afternoon from the
final acceptance sea trial. On board
was the special naval board of which
Admiral Frederick Rodgers is the head
The Kearsarge left the roads on Tues
day, and had been at sea forty-eight
hours, during which time it encoun-
tered hard storm. Speaking of the
double turret batteries, which many
predicted would be failures, Admiral
Rodgers said
THE Kearsarge's final trial trip was
eminently satisfactory, and every gun
and mount was tested. We fired service
charges OF two rounds each on the
guns in the double turrets forward
and aft simultaneously, and the pro-
jectiles not only went straight to the
marx but there was little vibration
when the four IL and S-inch guns were
fired at once.
''On our return "trip we ran into a
forty-knot gale. The Kearsarge was rs
steady as an old clock, and shipped
few seas. 1t maintained for two hours
under natural draft 4 speed of fifteen
knots an hour, and under forced draft
think we could have easily made
twenty-one."

of these men, svery correctly says:
They have nothing to lose but their
