metafor, but I had to use a strong one to show off the difference.

In one wing of the temple is exhibited articles from one thousand to
four thousand years old--old bronzes, and arms, and first attempts at
pottery and lacquer.

Some of these illustrate arts that are lost fur back in the past--I d'no
how or where, nor Josiah don't.

In the other wing are Japan productions four hundred years old, showin'
the state of the country when Columbus sot out to discover their
country; for it wuz stories of a wonderful island--most probable
Japan--that wuz one thing that influenced Columbus strong.

In the main buildin' are sights and sights of goods from Japan at the
present day.

All of the north part of the island is a marvellous show of their skill
and ingenuity in landscape gardenin', and dwarf trees, and the wonderful
garden effects for which they are noted.

They make a present of the temple and all of these horticultural works
to Chicago.

To remain always a ornament of Jackson Park, which I call very pretty in
'em.

Take it all together, the exhibits of Japan are about as interesting as
that of any country of the globe.
