The temple grounds at Nara are enliv»
cued by hundreds of deer. so tame that
they gather round you and eat out of your
fingers. l should judge that quite a num-
ber of families get a living by supplying
amall doughballs to visitors with which to
feed the deer. That is their regular busi-
ness, and that reminds me that the trav-
eler in Japan has great opportunities to
lead sacred animals. Nearly every temple
halts sacred horse, generally an albino,
with a voracious appetite for beans, which
are supplied by an old woman. a Very
small plateful for a penny. Then there
are sacred pigeons to be treated. In every
pond are carp and goldfish. and there are
always people about with little cakes for
sale to be led to the fish. Considerable
ingenuity is shown in making alight hol—
low spherical cake, which floats on the
surface of the water and obliges the fish
to make an exhibition at themselves it
they would get it. A large carp opens his
suckerlike mouth as wide as he can and
scoops it in. The Japanese people are very
fond of such amusements, and there is al-
" ways an interested audience about a liab-
pond.
But, to return from this digression, the
deer are sacred at Nara, because the found-
er of the first temple canto there riding
on 'a deer. in another place dogs are sacred
and the only animal permitted to enter
thetemple grounds, because a god once
appeared there accompanied by his dogs.
It seems as though these people “make
believe” very hard to keep up the observ-
ance of such traditions so long. I am told
that many parts of the temple ceremonials
are no longer interpreted, the cause ol
their origin having been forgotten. The
common people are tenacious of the old
fables, as tbcyarc in all countries, and at
many a shrine one seerotheir paper prayers
tied on by the thousand to every project-
ing corner. The beings to whom these
prayers are addressed range all the way
from Amide, the highest Buddha. and

The story is told that a citlzm of East
Greenwich, who is well provided with the
wherewithal ior purchasing this world's
goods. went into a dry goods store one day
and asked to see some men's stockings.
Selecting a pair, he placed them in his
overcoat pocket and walked out with never

As he was well known to the dealer. the
latter said nothing. leellng sure that the
temporary alsentmladsdness of his one
corner would soon vanish. and he would
have a good laugh on him when he re
celved the money. About half an hour
lair the customer walked in, took the
stocking: from his pocket. laid them on
the mater and again walked off without
leaving behind as much as a fragment at
an e lsnstlon. An investigation brought
to its t the fact that the man wanted to
