The emperor and certain princes OF
the highest rank pay visit OF rever-
ence and respect TO the tombs OF the
heavenly ancestors and offer branches OF
the sakaki tree-the emblem OF purity
sacred to the dead.
This ceremony-lf so slight per-
Torrance can be called ceremony-is
not Bundhist but Shintoistin character,
for Shinto is the established national
though nearly defunct religion OF Japan.
All day long the emperor receives his
subjects and the foreign ambassadors,
the highest In rank coming earliest In
the day and the lowest last.
Presentation at court Is held nova
days according TO the etiquette OF the
British conrt-that is to say, gentlemen
must wear full dress suits, and ladies'
trains six feet long.
On the second or third day the mikado
usually has a magnificent garden party,
which is the most interesting OF all the
imperial celebration.
Every one gives and receives pres
ents. Among the wealthy the offerings
may be handsome antigua lacquer
boxes, costly satsume vases, magnih-
cent bronzes. The poor people can
boast numerous presents, too, though
not so expensive perhaps. A little bas-
ket OF oranges or dozen eggs ere very
popular presents.
Tradesmen send their customers small
offerings, usually of something in their
line OF business. A grocer will give per-
haps pound Of sugar or little pack
age OF rice.
Every present, large or small, costly
or inexpensive, is accompanied by lit
tie folded three cornered paper, a few
inches in size. Sometimes this is OF
crimson or guilt paper or sometimes blue
or silver, according TO the taste OF the
sender.
The origin Of this custom is very an
cient and curious. In days OF old q
piece OF dried fish was sent with each
gift, but gradually people fell into
vicious habit of sending on the
same peace of fish with the
next present they sent away. as
IL they received so many Offer
ings they could not possibly eat all
the fish that came. Finally matters got
TO such pitch that gentleman could
frequently smell his present coming
around the corner, so In order to do
away with this abuse these little pieces
OF paper were substituted.
Another custom that seems very
strange in our eyes is that Of sending
presents of eatables, sweetmeats, mochi
or bean cake, etc. Such daInties are
sent In priceless bowls OF clolssone or
satsuma set on lacquer tray. Over all
is thrown silk and gold embroidered
square Of soft ribbed Grape, and the
messenger carries 1t through the street
held at arms length. The recipient eats
the contents, and without washing or
cleaning the bowl In any way returns 1t
and the cover with elaborate thanks.
The little shops, which look like dry
goods boxes set up on end. are filled
with gay toys, with dolls, kites and bits

SAN Francisco, December 1.-THE
greatest OF all Japanese festivities Is
New Years. Formerly 1t was reckoned
according to the Chinese calendar, but
now the Gregorian method is used, so
the first day Of the Japanese new year
is the same as ours--the 1st day OF
January.
All classes, from the emperor to the
coolie, participate in this festival, and
the latter probably enjoys himself more
than the former.
