sters, boiled clans were everywhere
in evidence. Only the fact that thou
sands of men, women and children no
larger nor stronger than ourselves,
were plodding patiently onward
toward the shrine, kept us going;
time after time we felt inclined to
turn back and seek our comfortable
home; but we kept on and on and
On, uncertain how much further we
must go, and how much longer our
discomfort must endure. Finally the
road turned sharply to the right. The
rain came down as never; the mud
was ankle deep, and splashed to the
knees with every step; but from the
din we heard before us we were con-
fident that we were near our destina-
ton. We crossed little bridge,
found ourselves on good stone pave
ment, and shortly stood at the bottom
of the great stairway of 90 stone steps
leading upward to the temple Just
as we reached the summit there was a
lull in the downpour. and we stood at
one side to look down the stairway.
The festival is called the feast of one
hundred thousand lanterns, and not
withstanding the bad night, thousands,
of lanterns certainly were out. A band
of worshipers was just approaching
the foot of the stairway. At their
head two lusty barelegged boys car
ried paper lanterns to light the path;
behind them came 20 worshipers, each
with drum upon which he beat Wig
orously lively air which we learned
to be the accompaniment to the ia
nous prayer or formula taught by
Nichiren $50 years ago. Behind them
came the bearers of the great lam
tern. This was made in fantastic
form and decorated with paintings
having reference to the teaching of
the sect. 1t was surmounted by a
great crown of trailing sprays of bam-
boo loaded with tufts of white and
pink tissue paper. 1t was f1anked on
both sides by smaller illuminations.

and they made no further score during
the game. The Waseda boys made
runs only in the fifth inning. when
they scored four counts. The Japanese
umpire mado several rulings which
were questionable, none of which ever
happened to be against the local team.
On the whole, however, they did not
affect the score. 1t is very interesting
to see the readiness with which japan
mas seized upon the new form of
sport, and her enthusiasm over it. 1t
is typical of her readiness to borrow.
After hard day of constant rain
we came home upon the evening of
the twelfth to find a postal card from
a native friend calling our attention
to the great festival to take place at
lkegami that night Though tired
and wet, we started off at once. and
after an hour and half we found our
selves at Omori station, with a mile
and three-quarters between us and the
temple. Our last street cars had been
jammed to the door, and when we dis
mounted, we needed no guide to show
the way. The station was blazing with
arches of electric-lighted paper Ian
terms in spite of the downpouring rain.
Swept along by the crowds we found
ourselves upon narrow street literal
ly packed with people, part of them
going to, and part coming from the
temple. All carried umbrellas. We
plodded along through a sheet of mud
and water. Both sides of the street
were lined with shops and booths
which were brilliantly lighted, and
which offered food and drink, amuse-
rnent and cheer, at cheap prices to the
passers. Everywhere men, women and
children were shrieking to pilgrims
praising their wares. Paper lanterns,
toys of all kinds, banners in honor of

pie, and their convenience and ad-
vantage warrant their introduction.
So, too. the excellent system of pub
lie telephones, a system far more COM
plete and convenient probably than
we have at any place in the United
States, is appreciated and utilized by
the commonest and poorest people.
But when grace and fitness, con-
venience and use, are sacrificed with
no commensurate gain, we protest.
And, indeed, the fondness for foreign
ideas and foreign ways is blind and
unreasoning. Thousands of things
beautiful and convenient are being
sacrificed for inferior, simply because
these are foreign. European dress is
so common as to attract no notice.
Not only government officials and en-
ployes, school boys and university
students, but clerks and business men
wear the new costume. 1t is ugly in
the extreme, but that makes little diff
ference; it is the rarest thing in the
world for the trousers to fit the legs,
or through any amount of use to adapt
themselves to the form of the wearers

as the fashion is foreign.

hold before the leaves have died, and
after 1t has once made a start, soon
gets beyond reach of the insects. Ear
ly in June the beetles begin to in
crease in number. and, as the bind

TO forsake the cultivated for the wild

By the middle of June the beetles
have practically disappeared and
nothing more is seen of them until
August. and then they are again
found abundantly, not, as rule upon
sweet potatoes, but upon the hedge

feeding can be seen until October, al

Ing beetle, about one-sixteenth of an
inch in length, very active, somewhat
chunky, with deeply ridged or striped
wing-covers, all these characters, ex-

color, require a magnifying glass to
make out clearly. The hind legs of
this beetle have the thighs very much
thickened or enlarged, so that it leaps
as readily as it flies, especially in the
sunny part of the day. In the early
morning and evening and in wet or
cold cloudy weather, it is less active
and may be readily taken on the
leaves. In size, general appearance
and methods of motion, it resembles

OF the sweet potato species contrasts
strongly with the dead black of the
other.
These beetles live through the win

among masses of leaves and other We
getation, and specimens may be found
at almost any time during that season
by sitting such rubbish along the edge
OF woods, under fence rails, along
roadsides and in similar places.
When the weather becomes really
warm, these beetles leave their win

AS soon as the plants are set in the
field the beetles attack them and be-

seeing. We have, however, taken time
for one baseball game and one re-
ligious festival. The event of the hour
was the presence of the Wiscon-
sin team. Postal cards represent
ing them and their opponents
and scenes from the games al
ready played were displayed at
every shop. The newspapers contained
columns of notice and some most curl
Gus and interesting pictures of incl
dents in the contests. The first op-
ponents with whom our boys played
were the team Of the "Keio" university.
The visitors lost both games. We
saw the third game of the series,
played with the boys of Waseda uni
versity. This institution includes
preparatory and collegiate depart
ments, and numbers some eight thou
sand students. It's grade of work is
high. 1t was founded by Baron Okuma,
the we'll known opposition leader. In
a certain sense it is the rival of the
Imperial university, representing both
in politics and spirit a non-adminis-
tration party and constituency. The
game was played at the Fairgrounds
of the "Keio," to reach which we were
forced to walk some little distance
after leaving the street car line. Great
numbers of people were on their way
to see the game, and when we reached
the grounds it was difficult to find
seats anywhere. The contrast between
the two teams was quite marked. Sew
eral of the Wisconsin men are notably
large and heavy fellows. but a consid-
cradle range of size exists within the
team; the boys of the Waseda team
are far more uniform in size, and
notably more slender and less heavy.
The local newspapers were all repre-
sented by reporters; their tables set
in long line close by the field in
front of the highest-priced seats of
spectators, formed by far the most
curious and novel feature OF the scene.
A great crowd of Waseda rooters with
their red flags sat solidly together in
one section of the grand stand. Our
boys sadly needed announcement

fact proceeding systematically. There has
been no elimination OF the water or OF
the milk successfully as the typhoid
medium. 1t is known to be fact today
that the typhoid germ is borne both by
water and by milk, and also that the
fly carries It. Furthermore. it Is known
that it is conveyed into the human system
by means of uncooked vegetables taken
from polluted soil and uncooked oysters
fattened near the mouths Of sewers. Typhoid
immunity is gained only by observing
numerous precautions, and that Of keeping
flies away from the food Is the easiest
and most effective.
Common sense teaches that an insect
that has the habits of the fly is no
fit occupant OF kitchen or dining
room. These habits are not guessed; they
are known. 1t Is just as certain tnat
the fly is unclean in the most loathsome
sense as that the vilest criminal ever
hailed before the bar of justice Is an
undesirable companion for the young and
innocent If the exclusion of the fly Is an
act of hysteria then the sooner this en-

epidemic of that disease the better for
its health and the worse for the doctors
