MIKKo TEMPLE RICH IN ART
Great Shrine of the Japanese, Built
Centuries Ago, Is the Work Of
Forty Years.

What st. Peters is TO Rome. what
Westminster Abbey is to London, what
the Pantheon was to Athens, that is
the temple al Nikko to Japan today.
II is the richest and most perfect ex-
preston of the art Of a whole nation
in so far as that art can be gathered
into a single building. The Japanese
have been called a nation OF artists.
and in their great temple they have
gone far toward justifying the term.
The temple was built centuries ago
as a setting for the tomb Of the Sho-
gun Iyeyasu. perhaps the greatest ruler
Japan has ever known II Is the work

men. a work that regarded neither
time nor effort nor cost.
, The avenue Of stately pines that
leads to the temple Is 20 miles long.
Before the building rushes a boiling
river, spanned by two bridges. red and
green. The red bridge is for the MI
kado. the green bridge for common hu-
manity. but the red OF the sacred
bridge is the exact tint needed TO set
OF the green of the pines. the gray OF
the water and the brown of the hills.
1t may not be trodden, but its color is
there to complete the picture FOR the
humblest peasant.
The temple within is a riot of beauty,
with sculpture, mosaic lacquer work,
and beaten brass competing to catch.
the appreciative eye. 1t takes many
days to see even hastily all the wealth
of art in this shrine.
Nowhere is the sure instinct of the
builders better shown than in the tomb
itself. Not in the carven and gilded
temple, but withdrawn among the quiet
pines, In a smooth casket of bronze
walled In with uncarven stones lie the
ashes Of Iyeyasu.

Ancient Kevs.

1t was formerly thought that keys
were strictly modern invention, but
among the ruins of Thebes have been
found keys with straight shanks five
inches long and bar at right angles
with three teeth, thus proving that the
Egyptians were familiar with the prin-
ciples Of lock making. As no locks but
only keys have been found among the
Egyptian ruins 1t is assumed that the
locks were Of wood, only the keys be-
ing metal. The earliest mention Of a
key to be taken from the lock occurs
In Judges 3:28 %. This was used to
fasten the door of the summer parlor
of Eglon, king of Moab. "Ehud went
forth through the porch, and shut the
doors Of the parlor upon him and
locked them. His servants took a key
and opened them" The date referred
to here is about 1886 B. @.

Hammock Produet Of Indian.

There is no doubt that the hammock
is a product of the American Indian.
1t has never been found among the In
dams Of North America, however, but
is common in the West Indies and in
the tropical countries of South Amer
lea. The earliest reference to the
hammock, as far as we know, is found
in Columbus narrative Of his first voy-
age, where, after his landing at San
Salvador, he speaks Of the natives
thus: "a great many Indians in
canoes came to the ship today for the
purpose Of hartering their cotton and
hamacas or nets in which they slept"
These Indians the first discovered by
Columbus, were Arawaks, and the
word hammock comes direct from
the language of that tribe.

master NJ. F. Kehoe of this city to ad-
vertise for sealed proposals for the
operating of a star mail route be-
tween this city and Mt. Olivet. The

than three years. The carrier will

one hour and half. Returning will
leave the Robertson county city at

3 o'clock. Further specifications can
be obtained at the office of Postmaster
Kehoe.

NOT RUNNING YET

Although the river was practically
free from running ice yesterday the
ferry boat at Ripley was not able to
run on account of the fact that Ice mas
collected on the shores and the ferry
cannot make a landing. This is hard
on those who have been accustomed to
make their regular trips. 'Tis said
that Eliza in Uncle Toms Cabin cross

ones would have tried the same feat
had it not been for the fact that the

carried to Sardis and later to Mt.
