fo ld it almost ss s necessity to
moke a pilgrimage to this shrine
once in a lifetime. Here from time
immemorial prayers have been ad
dressed to the deities o f the Shinto
pantheon, numbering nearly 14,000,
and on certain occasions there ore
ceremonial dances.
The imperial Shinto temple of
Yamada, in the province of Ise, is
•aid to be nearly 3,000 years old.
The present construction is mod
ern, for the temple hss been re
built many times. Ksshima shrine
dates bock to 660 B. C.
The ancient Shinto shrine was a
simple affair, and the modem Shin
to temples are all built in the same
archaic style of architecture. The
typical shrine is an oblong building,
usually not of massive proportions.
It is without windows and has a
steep overhanging roof. There is
lattice work above the door. The
front is thy gable end, with a queer
peaked facade and fantastic projec
tions of beamwork above its gable
angle. The structure is of unpaint
ed wood, and its color soon turns
to somber gray. As the years pass
it gets a weird, ghostly appearance.
Indeed, the Shinto snrine has
been called a “ghost house,” haunt
ed by the spirits of the ancestors of
the pious worshipers. A t a solemn
service held in their honor the souls
of the departed are imagined to he
present, and these unseen witnesses,
though voiceless, are supposed to
look on with approval and satisfac
tion while rites are performed in
their remembrance.
Th e Japanese sanctuary is known
as a miya or yashiro. It is some
times guarded by stone lions and
shadowed by a holy grove. Here
and there shrines have been erected
on the swelling crests o f the grand
est mountains in Japan, and to
these high places bands o f white
robed pilgrims make religious ex
cursions, traveling on foot.

little temple is frequently found on

In China there is a strong belief
that spots in rivers, creeks and
ponds where people have been
drowned are haunted by specter*
who spring out upon the unwarv
and drown them.
Should the
hauntings become very frequent the
spirits are exorcised. This ceremony*
consists in the decapitation o f a
white horse bv a specially selected
executioner on the site o f the haunt
ings. The head o f the slaughtered
animal is placed in an earthenware
jar and buried in the exact spot
where it was killed, which spot is
carefully marked by the erection of
a stone tablet.
Hot and Cold.
Albert, very young, waa fascinat
ed by the new piano. His older sis
ter took lessons and was at present
much concerned wHfr the intricacies
o f the soft pedal and the loud pedal.
A lbert had to content himself with
drumming and personal investiga
tions. One day his mother found
him down on the floor underneath
the keyboard fingering the pedals.
“ What are you doing, Albert?”
she asked, with natural curiosity.
“ I couldn’ t reach these kettles, so
I had to get down to feel which was
hot and which was cold,” said A l
