.IAPAN'S ANCESTRAL GODS

One of the most marvellous manifestations
of natriotic and religious enthusiasm in mod
ern japan was occasioned recently by the
transference of the imperial shrines at lse TO
their new tabernacle just completed. the Lon
don Standard says. This remarkable Shinto
festival may be witnessed only every Fl years,
when the temples of the ancestral gods are
reconstructed and the sacred objects are re-
moved to their new abode. The lse temples
have been thus renewed every score OF years
since A. d. go at least and for how long be-
fore that no one knows, the present occasion
being the ffty-seventh rebuilding on record.
Such a 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 as the last reconstruc
ton is complete by the appointment of an 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 a 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 holy of holies,"
which took place recently. 1t is computed that
no fewer than 10000 persons we're present on
the night of the actual removal. Though the
august spectacle takes place at night. the
preparation for 1t appears to go on for two or
three days previously. but the ceremonies of
the notable day itself are the most interesting.
The day opened with the appearance before
the new temples of specially chosen virgin.
who went through a peculiar ceremony OF
burying in the ground before the shrine Jar
containing offerings to the god OF earth.
Later in the day began long procession
OF priests in gorgeous robes of green and gold,
chanting weird litanies and monotoning sutras
to the strains of archaic instruments. II 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 100000 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 a unique national life and history. She
boasts Of civilization, code of morals,
form of government and 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 oldtime Japanese woman was trained ac-
cording to rules of conduct that were most
severe in their rigidity. 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 singleness OF pur-
pose and with devotion strong in its simple
ity and, on the other, an average girl OF mod
ern education, with a smattering of western
knowledge, 1t is true, but without discretion
and judgment to apply her newly found infor-
nation. and, of course, the latter will appear
at disadvantage. In the present
home, where the old and the new elements
combine, contrary streams or thought and ac-
ton thwart the young wife at her every step,
anu IN spite OF ner resolution, many are the
tears that she sheds unseen But she
must learn to be just as cautious and deferen-
tial in one respect as il 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 1t to this system
that indolent, whimsical and selfish women
have been set aside and the noble, self-sacrific
ing type OF wives and mothers was pre-
served for the old-time Japanese homes and
handed down an heirloom to the present
day"

Travelling Man Got Even.

A travelling man called on the man
ager of large New York concern the
other day and sent his card in by the
boy at the outside gate. The boy
sauntered back lazily and told the
travelling man that the manager
wouldn't see him.

card sent in" said the caller.
In few minutes the boy returned
from his second trip. Say" remarked
the boy, "the boss told me to tell you
that he tore up that card, but he sent
nickel to you to pay for it,"
The travelling man was deeply In
suited, but he decided to get back as
best he could. He opened his card
case and drew out another card, hand
ing it to the boy.

The manager rushed out Of the gate
to find the travelling man. but he was
too late. The man had left.

est generation of workers she be-
lieves she will see great changes In
methods and principles before her
sun Is set.
The daughter of Kashi Iwamoto
promises to be a prominent figure In
the future literary world OF Japan.
She has been writing stories and
translating from foreign tongues for
several years.
The first woman to enter the regu-
lar newspaper field was Mrs. Takeyo
Takegoshi, who, with her husband,
joined the staff of the Kokumin-Shin-
bum, IN Tokyo, some 10 years ago.
After four or five years other women
became interested in newspaper work
and to-day many are employed as spe-
cial writer's, as reporters and as edi-
tors of departments for women.
These are but a few of the women
writer's of Japan. They are sufficient
to illustrate, however, the fact that
the Japanese woman Is a creature of
considerable reserve mental force and
of intense feeling. Under the new re-
CINE only was it possible for her to
make these facts known to the out
side world, since the old teaching con-
strained her to keep hidden every
feeling. every thought, that she might
develop a more Spartan-like charac-
ter. capable of enduring great sacri-
fee when sacrifice should come-as
II did in the lives of many Japanese
women. II was not an accident that
the Japanese soldiers repulsed the

had we'll nigh reached perfection,
whose endurance was great and
whose wits were sharpened by con-
slant contact with domineering hus-
bands and fractions mothers-in-law.
1t is an unhappy fact that the Jap
anese literature loses it's artistic
beauty and its real strength when
translated into foreign languages.
This is probably due to the fact that
the Japanese student is still strug-

domitable, her intellect clear and strong. In
such case she reached more nearly to the
ideal, because she could control herself She
believed in the customs of her land she
loved them. She was guided by them So it
was a mistake to regard her soft voice, her
well-learned timidty, as-indicative of weak
ness of fexibility.
Even in the long, musty past a woman
came out now and then and gave to her people
sample of the possibilities of the feminine
mind in fields other than the intimate home
life But such disclosures were naturally rare.
One of these was Murasakishkibu, wo-

Genji, a prominent member of the nobility of

In Japan and is studied in the modern schools.
Parts of it have been translated into English.

a strong moralist and was noted for her high
and excellent character.
Shiran Yanagawa the Mrs Browning of
Japan, lived during the reign of Shotgun Toku-
gawa about 100 years ago, and, together with
her husband wrote many Chinese poems. At

When the breath of western civilization
