SATURDAY JAN 2, 1904, JAPAN'S RED LETTER DAY.

Xew Year's In the Flowery Kingdom Described by an American. “New Year’s day is a ml letter day in Japan.” said the woman who has lived in the Flowery Kingdom to the little circle who sat around the open grate exchanging experiences of the week the other day. “First of all every house, large or small, rich or poor, makes some attempt at decoratiou. Not to decorate would be unlucky. Two pine trees are used, one black, the other green, symbolizing the male aud female sides of the house. Deep holes are dug on each side of the entrance, in which the trunks are planted, to signify strength and prosperity. Bough* of the graceful bamboo, which is the emblem of health and long life, are twined around their stems. Then a kind of archway is made by swinging from pine to pine an odd looking rope of dry grass twisted. This is very carefully hung, for it is supposed to bar the entrance against evil spirits that may meditate harm toward the house or family aud bad luck in any guise. Branches of the flowering Japonica, symbolizing conjugal happiness, health and prosperity, are introduced. aud seaweed, which signifies good fortune. But most curious of all are the bits of white paper which are supposed to propitiate the various Shinto gods and request a coutinuation of their favors. The lanterns are inevitable. At night the effect Is brilliant—the entire city of Tokyo illumined from one end to the other with thousands of the palest, most exquisite and artistic lantern ideas that night ever brought forth. “The Japanese have a good New Year’s custom which wc might emulate to advantage—the universal cus- • tom of paying all bills and starting the new year free from debt. Many and most strenuous are the efforts a Japanese man of business or a householder will take to discharge his liabilities. “New Year's day is the great time for visiting, which begins early in the morning. The mikado holds a reception, and every hotly, from the highest officials down to the lowest ranks, goes a-calling. Jinrikishas are whirled from house to house by their swift footed human steeds, cards are left, and presents are numerously given. Everybody wears the eastern approximation to a Christmas look ou his face. What the gift costs is not nearly so important as how it is tied up. Japanese etiquette is very punctilious on this point. The present must be wrapped in a particular kind of paper, fastened with a particular cord of red and white paper rolled in a string which must be tied in a peculiar knot, and finally there must 1)0 a small symbol of folded paper. Without the latter no present ever changes hands. “Everybody, of course, wears the best garments of which his or her wardrobe boasts. The streets are crowded, and the children and their fathers and mothers, too, are all out playing at battle ’oor and shuttlecock and flying kites with wonderful dragons aud gods on them until the entire street is turned Into a playground, young and old swelling the happy throngs and keeping the merriment going.”—Philadelphia Times.

A Lincolnshire New Year's Saying. In Lincolnshire, where every tongue is tipped with a proverb, the saying for New Year’s runs: Take out, then take In, Bad luck will begin. Take in, then take out. Good luck comes about. From this no doubt la derived a belief common among negroes in many parts of the south that it Is an ill omen for the coming year to take anything, even a trifle, from a house on Jan. 1 until something has been brought In.

A Pnrae For the King. In England as late as 1092 the nobility were wont “to send to the king a purse with gold in it every New Year's tide.” ■ The Near Year. Another new leaf? Yes, again ’tls the time When we pause mid the pleasures of feasting and rhyme And listen while conscience reminds us anew Of the things that we ought and we oughtn’t to do. The many small voices which cause such expense Must be banished for aye with a virtue Intense, And the greater ones, too, if there happens to be Any left in the makeup of you or of me. And yet, when I carefully look o’er the list Of the earthly temptations which I ’must resist. In candor I’m bound to confess it appears Like the very same leaf I’ve been turning for years. —Washington Star.
