THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.
How it is Celebrated and Some
of its Disadvantages.

In China, where there are no
Sundays, the one universal holiday
throughout the country is at New
Year time. There are certain other
local festivals, but at New Year
only are the shops closed and all
business suspended. The date of
this feast is a variable one, but it
always comes not earlier than
January u or later than February
10, falling on the first new moon
after the sun enters Aquarius.
It is a season of rejoicing and
merry-making in all classes of
society. The holiday is a legal one
for three days only; but its cele-
bration actually continues much
longer. Many shops are closed for
fortnight, and for much more
prolonged period it is often very
difficult to have various kinds Of
work done.
All the cities now assume very
gay appearance, the outside of
the houses being decorated with
fanciful lanterns, large sprays of
artificial flowers and strips of red
paper with notices on them,
which are pasted around and
above the doors. The following
notices are specimens Of some of
the favorites Better be upright
with poverty than depraved with
abundance" "Better not be than
be nothing" ''The happy-hearted
man carries Joy for all the house
hold" Here and there one sees
blue papers among The red ones,
which denote that during the past
year there has been death in the
house.
The streets are thronged by a
| gorgeously-dressed crowd, most OF
them attired in brightly-colored
silks and satins, for the rich don
their best, and even the very poor,
who are in miserable rags all the
rest of the year, generally contrive
to hire or to take out of pawn fine
clothes for this occasion. If it is
quite impossible for them to dc
this, they remain hidden away IL
their homes.
People meeting in the streets
salute each other by crying
"Kung-hil Kung-hip Il humbly
wish you joy), or "Sin-hi! Sin
hip MAY JOY be yours), so tina
it seems possible that our custom
of saying Happy New Year" a
well as that of paying New Yeal
visits may come to Us from tn
