noblemen in honor of the sleeping god
Iyeyasu. Kept in stable near by is
snow-white pony sacred to the use
of the god. This building is orna-
mented by the carvings Of three mon
keys, supposed to represent the unique
trinity of San-golSu 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 ne
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 stream on the mountain
side, known as the White Thread Cas-
cade, as the water flows over the
brink of the precipice in such 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 the 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 second
court, filled with wonder-works of
Japanese skill, and gifts from other
countries Among these last are q
bronze candelabrum, that belonged
years ago to a king of Loocho, a huge
candle stick sent from Holland, etc.,

and displays Of decorations have been
only the entrance to the mausoleum.

to unite the two. The ablest and
most powerful follower Of Buddha
was, no doubt, the great warrior, I've
yasu, who was deif1ed by the emperor
as the great incarnation of Buddha,
the light Of the east" Upon his death
this noted man was buried at Kuno-
Fan, 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-
cided to remove his remains to a
more fitting resting place at Nikko.
So, In 1917. On the greatest day
Nikko evar 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
temple tombs of the illustrious dead
is over the sacred bridge, which is a
wooden structure lacquered a deep
red, In vivid contrast to the somber
hue Of the pines, and supported by
stone piers. Gates are closed at Ell
Their end, stopping all entrances ex-
cept when they are open once a year
for the annual festival, and vast
crowds pass over the sacred way.
Midway in the ascent is small bel
fry, looking like huge mushroom
under it's big sloping roof, covered
with bronze plates and surmounted by
the crest Of Iyeyasu. A bronze bell,
rung by means of big log of wood
placed at an angle, so that, upon be-
ing pulled back by rope, it will
strike the deep-toned instrument as
it rebounds, sends forth its clear, res
onant notes so as to be heard long
distance.
At the head of the terrsced ascent

HOW LIFE is SPENT.

1.-THE days of our lives are three
score years and ten." sings the
Psalmist; and the man or woman who
attains that age spends years OF his
life in doing what are regarded as
common daily actions. The average
person OF seventy has spent no fewer
than twenty-three years OF his life IN
bed. assuming that his nightly sleep
has been eight hours throughout life,
says the London Answers. Most peo-
pie spend about fifteen minutes day
over the care of their teeth. The
septuagenarians have thus spent al
most year in this way. How long
have they spent at table? Allow half
an hour for each meal, and the an
swer is six years They eat on an
average one loaf of bread day. In
al their life three miles of loaves
have been consumed, supposing that
the latter are put end to end. Includ-
ing tea, coffee and milk, three hun
dred barrels of liquid have been ac-
counted for. The Office man of sew
enty has put in five years in walking
to the station and to his Office. A
woman of seventy, even simple in her
dress. has taken seven years in cloth
ing herself. A man and woman
who have reached the allotted span
of life will have used 600 pairs Of
boots between them. 400 dresses and
500 hats

With the alleged retirement of Louis P. shackleford from the A. aska field of politics, many of the newspapers are writing up hts po- litieai obituaries. One of the most expressive Of these comes from the valdez Miner, extracts from which is herewith reproduced;
 R is reported from Juneau that Louis P. shackleford has resigned as member of the republican na- ilonsl committee from Alaska and will soon shake the dust, or mud of Juneau from his feet and take up his abode in Tacoma. The job on the national committee, has been slipped to his junior partner, William Bayiess or Juneau. This means. of course. that Shackleford win hold the proxy and vote it, Bayless being merely a figurehead.
 Tt is admitted that shaekleford is nn able lawyer but during the past four years he has devoted his time mostly to politics. That fact and the general unpopularity he has earned by his arrogant and utterly dishonest political methods have lost him nearly all his practice in Juneau aside from two or three corporations. With the loss Of the Treadwell retainer there seems to be no place left for Shackleford in Alaska but a home for the friend less.
 Like all corporation politicians in Alaska who move to Puget sound, Shaekleford is determined Co save such shreds of political power tn the territory as he may. That is the meaning Of the transfer Of the national committee membership 10 his law clerk. It is like a busted Hnancier putting his property in his wlfe's name. He will still hold some fragment Of pull at Washington while Taft is in the White House and that will end him SO far as Alaska Is concerned. It ls even said that Gov Clark has

EMINENT SCIENTIST SAYS
 WE ARE THE CLEAR STUFF

Never la all my travels have l met a more intelligent, hospitable people than in Alaska. Generous even to a fault, broad minded, and possessing a noble spirit, often Uu- der a rough exterior, have been deeply impressed with the char acter of the residents of the north. '
 With these words Mir. Jewett C. Gilson. eminent scientist lecturer and scholar, Of Oakland, Cal, ex- pressed his opinion of Alaskans a few days ago to the Valdez Miner. Accompanied by his wI,e, Mr. Gil son is visiting Southv estern Alaska seeing for the first time a country which he has heard so much about.
 His knowledge Of science giving him an added interest in the glac- iers and other natural scenery of the Territory which, Mir. Gilson finds absorbingly interesting.
 Mir. Gnson has made a thorough study Of meteorites and owns fine collection ot these stones gathered from all parts Of the globe. In speaking Of meteorites he said that from loo to 200 tons of meteoriC dust is falling from the skies every day. Often these particles can bt found on rooftops in minute par ticIes taking the shape of perfect spheres. At times they lodge 1T the eyes and are mistaken for dust
 When large enough meteorite' can easily be distinguished by th' parallel and cross lines of nicke which can be brought out by ap pljcation of nitric acid.

nearly put him out of commission with Taft.
 shackltford's reign in Alaska politics was singular product of luck. pull and insolenee. Though he has more than ordinary ability as a lawyer he has none at all as politician. The euiogies passed upon his skill in politics by para sites and tifne-servers are sheer rubbish. He had drag in Alaska politics solely because he was Taft agent in the territory. He had so little following in Juneau, where he lived Tor years. that he did not dare to tall a public primary to elect delegates to republican con ventions. He simply called his satellites quietly into his office and labelled the meeting a primary.
 The methods which lifted Shack leford to the top in Alaska politics would constitute forgery and per jury in legal proceeding. Being protege Of Gov. Hoggatt. who was a protege Of Roosevelt, compelled his admission to the national con veution of I sos though three-fourths of the republicans of Alaska were opposed to him and his faction. Backed by the Morganheim syndi- cate and other corporations he re- tained the favor of Taft, as Hog gait with the same pull had held the ear of Roosevelt. And that is why Louis Shack has been pa- tronsge dealer and nominal boss of the republican party of Alaska for four years.
 The final disappearance of Hog gait and shackleford from Alaska will doubtless open the way for a union of republican factions in the territory. Hoggatt split the party and Shackleford perpetuated tho breach. With the malodorous bur. den dropped the party can sheer off to the windward and in less tainted air it's fragments may coal esce.
