Karuizawa, Japan.--Exactly how a missionary goes about introducing his teachings to a "heathen" community which knows absolutely nothing about Christianity is an interesting point seldom made plain; now I have seen it doneX and the procedure is worth describing. This trip to a large in­ terior town, where missionaries and Christianity are unknown, with the in­ cidents which befell by the way, was the most interesting experience thus far encountered in Japan. In several features this particular preaching expedition was abnormal. It was made in connection with an excursion to the famous hot springs of Kusatsu by a party of mission­ aries who are spending their vaca­ tion In Karuizawa, the largest sum­ mer resort for foreigners ia Japan. There were eight yeung American mis­ sionaries, two Japanese teachers or evangelists, and myself, in the party which started, early onsf fhorning for 'er 4'. mou 1 tvt to Kusatsu. It was worth wMle to get this intimate view of m^feionaries, for three days of hard travel under these conditions was enough to reveal the inwardness of a man's nature." Escaping from the five runners from the one so-called European hotel, who besieged us at various points along the latter half of the journey, and de­ spite assurances from apparently dis­ interested persons that all the native inns were full, the party, by an ex­ ercise of its Japanese speech ani western persistence, found an emi­ nently satisfactory Japanese hotel, where all < the missionaries %rere at once at home, being quite accustomed to eating and sleeping on the floor. At once the native teachers set out to arrange for a religious service by the foreigners. The Preachers and the Police. Soon the kindly paternalism of the Japanese police was encountered. Im­ mediately upon reaching their inn, the foreigners had been obliged to register Tjvo hyriins were sufig,< thee' an­ nouncement was repeated, and the procession wended its way down near the leper bath, with natives bringing up the rear. Another halt was made- and a similar procedure was adopted; and again, further up the village, a third stand was i^a^e. This was a short distance beyond where two na­ tive story-tellers were entertaining large crowds with sing-song Tecitals, after the ancient custom. The mis­ sionaries considerately moved to a distance before singing, lest they should disturb these audiences, but they nevertheless got a considerable following from the fringes of the lat­ ter. At a slow pace, to accommo­ date the iaznc and the halt, the crowd moved on to the appointed meeting place, hav^iE created a sensation m the town.. should ^bts meeting place be too small fpr the foreigners' purpose, the police themselves would provide a larger -room. ' But some 200 men, wbmen and Children crowded around when the service began, and listened to the new teachings with an attention that could hot be surpassed in a Fifth avenue churcJj^ The same ^peaHers took part, although with different addresses. A considerable circle of, young men, mostly students, gathered about Mr. Hail after the meeting, for further A Fresh Sensation For the Jaded. Curiosity, and desire of the blase for a new sensation, was large­ ly responsible for the attentive com- papy of about f>0 Japanese which gath­ ered when the meeting opened! Out- sfeie the room, which, in the (!d§venierit fashion of the land, was enlarged by removing two of the walls,; was a bor­ der of wondering wbmen and children. Inside were the men, siting oq^tjieir .knees, according to the native cede of politeness; after the introd victory ad­ dress, oneVof^the auditors spoke up and, with ^rofoundest apologies for the rudeness,..asfced if the men might not -be so impolite as to sit cross- legged, the /more Comfortable posture, since were rifiiftst of them invalids. With many mutual bowings--to live in Japan insures abundant exrrcisie for the muscles of the back--the request was erf course "granted by the mission­ aries, only half of whom. ® noticed, knew the art of sitting on their knees; ft found the ordeal of sitting cross- legged for more than an hour quite severe enough. • as the first Christian in that ancient com- The sheeting service ever hel munity, the o al said, although I V \ S3SSSSB In the Hot Sulphur Baths at Kuaatfu. their names and ages and occupations. where they came from, whither they were going and how long they in­ tended to stay. This is part of the marvelously complete system whereby ' the police department keeps a record Of every foreigner within the borders of the empire. Soon the Japanese teacher returned to say that the police, while quite willing that the visitors should hold a preaching service in the public square, advised that it be very short and simple, lest there be, trouble with the rough element in town. Later, there came a second message, couched in politest terms, suggesting that the meeting be held in the hotel, where the honorable -gentlemen lodged, at the upper end of the village. So it was arranged. Shortly after eight o'clock, lighted by the conven­ tional paper lanterns which the inn supplied, we proceeded to the public square, alongside of a steaming pool whose sulphurous fumes suggested the opposite of things heavenly. In fact, Kusatsu itself is a good place for preaching. Its very existence is based largely tfpon the consequences of im­ morality. The permanent population is about 1,500 persons, all living off the visitors, who number between three and four thousand, more than a score of whom are Europeans. These hot sulphur baths, for centuries the most famous in Japan, while efficacious in rheumatism and gout, are more gen­ erally used for the most loathsome skin diseases. By far the largest num­ ber of visitors go to Kusatsu as a penalty for their own or their parents' transgression of the moAl law. The Old and the New In Competition. But to return to the party of mis­ sionary visitors in the center of the village. The simple presence of so many foreigners, apparently in good * ^ health, attracted attention. When the older of the two Japanese preachers announced, holding aloft his lantern, that the foreigners would speak and sing that night, heads began to ap- _ •r.'it pear on all sides. Then the mission- r^u^aries, all of whom speak Japanese, ig^iigathered about their one hymn book ^&/wand began to sing a Japanese trans- V"* lation of a familiar hymn. In the "•meantime the native evangelist was _ ;f?htisily accosting individuals, Inviting '**®them to the service and giving them \ .. '•* NM. fro®*. X 'l. & *, later learned that when Re^s. T. M. McNalr and E. R. Miller spent a vaca­ tion In Kutmtsu ' Ncnr« of years ago, they also conduct d Christian services. Naturally It was !,k Interesting to me as to these Japanese who had never seen a missionary before. After a hymn In English, sung from memory, and an introductory address and prayea^iby the native preacher-- who, by the way, recently refused an increase In the ten-dollar-a-month salary wh.k;h a Pennsylvania Church pays him, bebause he said the work elsewhere needed the money more than he--"Mr. Hail spoke in Japanese. There was a vein of humor In his address,, which abounded in illustra­ tions, and caused thil audience to utter the Japanese equivalent for "Hea^J hear!" Throughout the meeting strangely enough, the addresses and their telling points were applauded by hand-clapping. Despite the lateness of the honr to which this meeting had been pro­ longed, the party was astir almost at daybreak, and on a tour of *.he town watching the bathers. Whoever will may see these, for the Japanese know nothing of the American interpreta­ tion of modesty. Then an early start was made for Shibu, more than 20 miles distant, by way of Shirane, an active volcano 7,600 feet high. This tramp is enoagh to test the religion of anybody, even a missionary, for it is entirely over mountains, and the road is superlatively bad, though the scenery is superlatively beautiful, rivaling Colorado's best. The Polite Police. Tine faithful Japanese preacher had omitted the climb up Shirane and so he reached Shibu another village famous for its milder baths, ahead of the main party of sunburned and foot­ sore missionaries, who arrived at sun­ down, to find th§ town $xpec&nt of a meeting, all the preparations for which" had been made. Several rooms on the first floor of the native inn where the visitors spent the night were thrown into one, making room for upwards of a hundred persons seated, while many more Could stand outside or sit in the house across the alley, so nigh is neighbor to neighbor in the old Japan­ ese villages^ .

One of the American Bible Society's colporteurs was also present; and, in general, Shibu seemed somewhat more familiar with Chris­ tianity than did Kusatsu, although there, are no Christian services held •there. -< s Where Religion is Cheap. ' -'The next morning the Americans, who were quite accustomed to creating a stir .by their appearance in native villages, went to Nagano, where is one of the most celebrated Buddhist tem- pies In Japan, dating back to 670 A. D., although the oldest portion of the pres­ ent structure is only six centuries old. The high priestess of this temple is an aunt of the emperor. The temple area is crowded with statues and buildings of ab$prbing interest. I noticed one bronze feuddha of heroic size holding a baby, and some devotee had put a modern bonnet, of cheap calico, on the latter's hfead! On several occa* • ions I hare seen images thus incon­ gruously adorned. Thousands of devout pilgrims visit this temple', arid "thSTmpcror himself has a sumptuous suite of apartments therein, although the Shintoists claim him ks one of their number. In fact, he has rather impartially patronized isotjai faiths; and thousands of his sub­ jects d« likewise. Ordinary pilgrims to the temple are kept outside the wire screen before the altar, but the missionaries, by the application of the .silver key which unlocks doors the world ipver, were omitted to a closer view and a complete inspection. They were even taken down through the absolutely dark underground passage where the keys of paradise may be found, attached to a huge padlock. And, assuredly those young Americans found them, and rattled them loudly enough for all the celestial doorkeep­ ers to hear. This trip , in the dark is supposed to purge the soul of sin, though, paradoxically enough, the priest who was our guide warned us that if we had any evil in our hearts when we entered we would come out changed into dogs, which is the com­ mon belief. Of course this party- emerged barking and growling like curs with tin cans to their tails. It must not be inferred that the mis­ sionaries were disrespectful to the temple or its worshippers. They moved about, uncovered and unshod, and were genuinely interested in the bewildering explanations of who's who in this 'sect of Buddhism. Among the more than' 30,000 ancestral tablets placed in one apartment, I noticed one that wa.s surmounted by the Harvard ,H. As souvenirs of this trip I have a written token from the high priest that I have performed an early morn­ ing devotion at a certain shrine, and have received absolution from him in person--although, as a matter of fact, it was nearly noon when we were In the temple. and 1 never saw the high priest I bought the document from a priest in the temple office for one and a half cents. Similarly, I have a brass charm from the imperial high priestess (whom 1 did not meet, I am sorry to say), guaranteeing protection to my body from every kind of harm, and all for the sum of eight cents. Religion comes cheap in Japan. I saw priests emptying the money boxes which stand before each shrine, and later stringing the coins together. These are all of copper, and of the lowest denominations, two sen, one sen, half pen, rln and half rin. The last two are the commonest, and are worth respectively, one twentieth and one fortieth of an American cent These are now seldom used in com­ merce, and; are called "temple money." The sen is Worth one-half cent The elaborate and costly Buddhist temple and its ritual and priests was in »sharp contrast with the impover­ ished simple services which these un- unifornbed missionaries had tbeen hold­ ing;- but the latter had a confidence and a vitality which made one foresee the possibility of the overthrow of Buddhism by the plain gospel of the Na^arene. .

When Ce- lestino Giordano, aged 15, with Gieelia Nappi, his chosen bride, went to the registry office to be married, the com­ missioner was Very loath to perform the ceremony, for the pair had not reached the age limit prescribed by the civil code. The young folks had evidently expected to have to over come difficulties to their union, for while the commissioner was" hesitat­ ing as to what he should do, they sprang a surprise on him and settled the matter by producing a royal-de­ cree of dispensation, which they had obtained direct from th% king. This being proved genuine the children were joined to wedlock in the pres­ ence of their parents and a large gath­ ering of interested spectators. I BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY.

There waB so much ceremony con­ nected with a church cornerstone lay­ ing in New York city a few weeks ago that the moving picture machine man felt warranted to take a couple of miles of photographs. These pictures proved to be very good, and large crowds were dellght- ed' with the exact reproduction of the dedicatory exercises. "I like thg moving pictures better than I did the original service," con­ fessed a prominent member of the congregation. "You do," gasped a devout elder. "I'm surely pained to hear you say so. Why should you prefer the pictures?" "Bccause the picture man," an­ swered the prominent member, pleas­ antly, "cut out all the sermons." Ghosts of Pead - Lakes. In the great basin between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes.

My personal ex­ perience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its meritp. "From overwork, I suffered several yea s with malnutriton, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment per­ sonally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's ac­ tion became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were proper­ ly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a per­ fect food, and no one can gainsay but that it has a most prominent place In a rational, scientific system of feeding.

The new insurance law of the State •f New York has opened up a promis­ ing field for both men and* women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies, each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York, and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis. The prohibition against rebating and extravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent., who in many cases virtually bought business, with large rebates, instead of selling It. His place is. being taken by profes­ sors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vocations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the ag*nt. Life insurance is something that everyone needs and under the pres­ ent system its sale Is being contluoted with becoming dignity and propriety. Paul Morton, president of the Equita­ ble Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead its building up an agency or­ ganisation that Is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment, a»'i ihe standard he has set ftir his company. He says: "We want new agents, both men and women, hut none except en­ ergetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is ft splendid Opportunity." Mr. Morton's policy of injecting hew and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country. One Hundred Years /^go. Gen.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? Thecause may be easily traced io some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, draggim- sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warning> that there is danger ahead, and vus less heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result The best remedy for nil these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lucwle from native roots and herbs. No oilier medicine in the country ha tveeived such widespread and unqualified endorsement. J«o other medi­ cine has such a record of cures of female ills. Miss J. F. Walsh, of 328 W. 36th St., New York City, writes:--"Lydia E.
