.APAN'S ANCESTRAL GODS

One of the most marvellous manifestations
of patriotic and religious enthusiasm in mod
ern Japan was occasioned recently by the
transference of the imperial shrnes at Ise to
their new tabernacle just completed, the Lon
don Standard says. This remarkable Shinto
festival may be witnessed only every Il years,
when the temples of the ancestral gods are
reconstructed and the sacred objects re-
moved to their new abode The Ise temples
have been thus renewed every score of years
since A. ID. 600 at least and for how long be-
fore that no one knows, the present occasion
being the fifty-seventh rebuilding record.
Such periodic reconstruction will appear
quite necessary when it is recollected that on
these shrines no mortal hand is ever permit
ted to execute repairs. After they are built
the gods of the nation take possession Of them
and thenceforward they are not touched till
they go the way Of all things.
The work of rebuilding the sacred shrines
begins almost as soon the last reconstruc-
ton is complete by the appointment OF i'm
perial commission intrusted with the impor-
tant enterprise. Every stage is marked by
religious ceremonies, from the telling Of the
trees to the driving of the last nail. The COM
pletion is emphasized by special festival of
publication. after which the temples pass from
the hands of the commissioners to the priestly
custodians of the imperial shrines.
Finally comes the great festival of remov-
ing the ancestral gods and the sacred treas
ures and relics to the new holy of holies,"
which took place recently. 1t is computed that
no fewer than 10000 persons were present on
the night of the actual removal. Though the
august spectacle takes place at night, the
preparation for it appears to go on for two or
three days previously. but the ceremonies of
the notable day itself are the mosr interesting
The day opened with the appearance before
the new temples of "a specially chosen virgin
who went through peculiar ceremony of
burying in the ground before the shrine Jar
containing offerings to the god Of earth
Later in the day began a long procession
OF priests in gorgeous robes of green and gold
chanting weird ltanies and monotoning sutras
to the strains OF archaic instruments. 1t is
affirmed that the service has in no respect
been changed during the last thousand years
With the settling down Of darkness came the
great function Of removal. A detachment of
priests. led by priestly representative of the
imperial house. went into the soon to be aban.
doned shrines to examine the treasures and to
measure the sacred fabrics. AS the latter are
reputed TO be more than 10000 feet In length.
this was no small matter.

and Little Lord Fauntleroy" into the Japanese
language. She also wrote a volume of ESSAYS
in English. An extract from one of these.
Some Phases of the Japanese Home and
Home Life" will give hint of her style and
of the process of her thought:
"JaSan, like any other ancient country. has
had unique national life and history She
boasts Of a civilization. code of morals, a
form Of government and a system of education
all peculiar to herself, and she cherishes
these as heirlooms expressive Of the wisdom
and experience handed down through the whole
line of her ancestors. You all know that
the old-time Japanese woman was trained ac-
cording to rules of conduct that were most
severe in their rigidty She was assiduously
taught to guard her personal virtue and the
proud honor of her household. Death was the
only alternative in case she swerved from her
duties. Place, on the one hand this
type of womanhood. serving in the house of
her lord and master with sngleness of DUR.
pose and with devotion strong in it's simplic-
ity and, on the other, an average girl of mod
ern education, with smattering of western
knowledge, it is true, but without discretion
and Judgment to apply her newly found infor-
nation, and, of course, the latter will appear
at a disadvantage. In the present
home, where the old and the new clements
combine contrary streams OF thought and &C.
ton thwart the young wife at her every step.
and, in spite of her resolution, many are the
tears that she sheds unseen But she
must learn to be just cautious and deferen.
tial in one respect it is her duty to be
prompt and decisive in another. For herein
lies the very test of her intrinsic worth and
usefulness. We deplore the many evils
that have issued and still do issue from the
ancient household system in Japan
Yet we cannot help noting that this has been
perhaps the most successful system of disci
pline ever extant-a discipline productive OF
the utmost diligence circumspectness and self
sacrifice. We certainly owe it to this system
that indolent, whimsical and selfish women
have been set aside and the noble self-sacrifc.
ing type of wives and mothers was pre-
served for the old-time Japanese homes and
handed down as an heirloom to the present
day"
Another woman Of marked ability as
writer was the Baroness Nakajma AS
child she excelled in her studies and was al
lowed TO go to a boys school, there being no
high schools for girls at that time. Her fame
a scholar became known at court and she
was appointed as a teacher of learning to the
empress After retiring from this service she
toured the country for special study and OBJ
servation. Ii was an UNUSUAL thing for an
