massive stone bases, the gifts of
noblemen in honor of the sleeping god
Iyeyasu. Kept in a stable near by is
of the god. This building is orna-
mented by the carvings of three mon
keys, supposed to represent the unique
trinity of San-goku no saru, the trio
that neither see, hear, nor speak any
evil. This fact is symbolized by the
attitudes of the monkeys, one having
his paws over his eyes, the second
covering his mouth, and the third his
ears. Wherever one goes in Japan he
will see these images of blind, dumb
and deaf monkeys. In this same court
is a cistern fashioned out of solid
rock, and holding holy water, which
comes from a stream on the mountain
side, known as the White Thread Cas-
cade, as the water flows over the
brink of the prectpice in such a deli
cate layer of the silvery fluid as to
look to be part of the glistening
stone.
In the midst of his admiration of
this scene thef tourist hears the soft
ting-a-ling of golden wind bells under
the caves of the buildings as they are
gently swayed to and fro by the
breeze.
At the head of another flight of
steps the visitor comes upon a second
court, filled with wonder-works of
Japanese skill, and gifts from other
countries. Among these last are a
bronze candelabrum, that belonged
years ago to a king of Loocho, huge
candle stick sent from Holland, etc,
etc.
Another fight of steps assembled,
and the visitor pauses before the va
Mel gate, its two stories decorated
with remarkable carvings of the COM
mon and the unusual in artistic work.
As the ponderous gate swings ajar
we are ushered into a courtyard con-
tanning several buildings, one of which
was reserved in ancient times for the
koagura, or sacred dance, which was
performed by priestesses in wide,
flowing silken trousers, an overdress
of gauzy texture and wreath of arti-
fetal flowers, while they held in their
hands tiny bells, that gave forth soft,
bewitching music. They swirled in alb
surd positions making ridiculous pass
es with their fans before amused
priests. Near the center of the court
is an enclosure holding the chapel,
which contains that universal emblem
of Shintoism, the golden gohei, attach
ed to a long wand, and Shinto mir
ror on a table lacquered deep black.
Another path leads up 220 moss
grown steps to that spot of greatest
sanctity, the tomb of Japan's greatest
ruler. In fact, all these preludes of
courts, stone stairways, massive gates,
and displays of decorations have been
only the entrance to the mausoleum.
Situated within an enclosure Of
lofty walls surmounted with a balus-
trade and sheltered by stately old
cryptomerias, the tomb itself Is I'M

Bob Hull, the champion story tell

to take business trip into interior
Georgia. He took his golf clubs with
him, intending to stop on his way for
a match on the famous links at

He dropped off the train at his
business destination-a small town on
branch road-and carrying his lug
gage climbed into an ancient hack
and babe the driver, who was an old
negro man, take him to the local ho-

The negro eyed the queer-looking

carried with the peculiar looking
sticks in it. His curiosity got the

to unite the two The ablest and
most powerful follower of Buddha
was, no doubt, the great warrior, Iye-
yasu, who was deified by the emperor
as the great incarnation of Buddha,
the light of the east" Upon his death
this noted man was buried at Kuno-
zan, in the southern country, and
noble shrines were built to immortal
ize his memory. But in time it was
felt that sufficient honor had not been
done the mighty man, and it was de-
sided to remove his remains to a
more fitting resting place at Nikko.
So, in 1917, on the greatest day
Nikko ever knew, his body was re-
moved to her exalted protection, with
such impressive ceremonies as only
the rites of Buddha can afford. ia

The most sought approach to the

Is over the sacred bridge, which is a
wooden structure lacquered a deep

hue of the pines, and supported by
stone piers. Gates are closed at Ell

crowds pass over the sacred way.
Midway in the ascent is a small bel

with bronze plates and surmounted by
the crest of Iyeyasu. A bronze bell

Nothing More to Live For.

Without question, the Scots curler
of whom Lord Lyveden tells in Fry's
Magazine, placed the proper value on
his sport.
During a recent curling-match in
Switzerland, the skip of one of the
teams, who happened to be a Scots
man, was SO delighted with the accu-
rate shot of one of his team, that he
was heard to address him in the fol-
lowing manner: Lie down and dee,
