The japanese do not actually worship
their ancestors as the Chinese do, but they
hold them in great respect. Every old and
noble family has an ancestral shrine, where
mortuary tables bearing the names Of their
ancestors are kept. These ancestors ara
very real, and it is Japanese custom to
acquaint them with all great events in the
family or the nation. They are solemnly
notified of births and deaths and marriages
in the family and of great events which
it is thought may interest them.
In accordance with this strange custom
the emperor on the day after the war
against Russia was declared repaired TO the
mortuary shrine in the royal palace and
with the long and solemn ceremonies
which are provided for this contingency
informed his ancestors of The fact that
war had been declared and asked for their
guidance in the conduct Of the great strug-
gle which is about to begin.
On the same day the heads Of the great
japanese families performed the same rites
and in all the provinces where there ara
mortuary shrines the governors informed
their predecessors Of the news. These cer-
emonies are of course Of the most serious
character and it is impossible for a vest
ener TO even learn OF their nature, much
less take part in them, To the japanese
they are very solemn and the subject ID

platform is Mayor Campbells record, and
that is all the platform we want. We

when Mayor Campbell came into office
he had to look after the fire department,
water and light and engineers depart

and about 81 300 was being collected each
month. Some were paying their fines and
many were escaping, and during Campbell's
first administration the sum of the fines
collected began to increase. The fine sys-
tenn was then conducted fairly, and instead
of $1,000 being paid into the pockets
of the grafters each month, it was paid
into the treasury.

TOXIC, Feb. 26-Many peculiar cere-
monies have been performed in Japan
within the past two weeks in view OF the
declaration Of war and the entering Of the
empire into a struggle which every Jap
anese knows is struggle for existence. 1t
is the greatest crisis the nation has ever
seen and of course with the peculiar re-
ligion and customs, ceremonies which seem
very strange to the western mind are be-
ing performed on every side.
Toxic is a city Of temples. There are
thousands of shrines where the deyotees
of Shintoism and Buddhism pay their de-
votions to their gods. Both these re-
hgious sects are very devout and the Jap
anese never think of entering into any
serious undertaking without consulting the
gods and Offering to them prayers for sue
cess. The present great crisis has there
fore made the temples and shrines all the
more popular and they are crowded con.
tinually with devout worshipers, while
every available place in them is covered
with huttering paper prayers.
1t is a very strange sight to see soldiers,
clad in all the uniform and equipment of
war, paying their devotions before little
shrines and in great temples. In the quiet
precincts Of these temples the low, musical
murmuring OF the worshpers is constantly
interrupted by the clank OF sabers and the
rattle Of military equipment as soldiers
bound for the front to give their lives II
need be for their country stop to offer
last prayer, not for life and safety from
