New Year In Japan.

the crowd came a number Of Siamese
debtors with chains about their legs.
They were going to work. and they
were not allowed to take part In the
festivities. The celebration took place
in a great court near the city market
Of Bangkok. We waited about three
hours before we heard the procession
Then a noise arose like that or q
thousand dogs with tin cans tied to
their tails rafting over the stoniest Of
streets, and a moment later we saw
about 1000 naked legs carrying 1000
lalf-naked Siamese. who carried ban
ners and escorted a wrinkled old
prince and their king. This old king
was as black as the ace of spades and
his under Jaw was no thicker II
your finger. He was dressed in gold
and silver clothing and he had a crown
on his head that locked like a pyra-
mid of ice cream. The people cheered
him as he came up, and he stopped in
front of our party and wagged his thin
lower Jaw at the governor, saying
something that ! could not understand.
Right near here there was a great
swing fastened to a beam across two
POLES about 100 feet high. From the
top of this beam the ropes holding the
swing were hung, and on the board at
its foot four naked Siamese stood. A
purse Of money was tied to a long
bamboo fishing pole and fastened to
one Of the uprights. so that the money
hung about thirty feet out from the
swing. The pole was so bent that the
bag of money hung quivertng from the
topmost point, far out to the side or
tie swingers. The feat was for them
to get the money while the swing
was moving. They first knelt down
and prayed to the king. and then went
M and down upon the swing until
they swung themselves high up In the
air and nearer ard nearer the money.
At last one Of them reached It. Ac-
cording to rules he had to bite IL on
with his teeth and hold the moSey In
his mouth until the swing stopped.
This is no easy feat, and the people
went wild. Then other four men took
their places on the swing, and more
money was put up, and so 1t went on

Everyone wants money, and the store

Do the Next Thing.

Don't live a single hour Of your life
without doing exactly what IS to be
done in 1t, and going straight through
it from beginning to end. Work, play,
study; whatever 1t is, take hold at one
and finish it w squarely; then do the
next thing, without letting any mo-
ments drop In between. 1t Is wonderful
to see how m&ny hours these prompt
people contriva to make of a day. II
is as If they picked up the moment,
the dawdlers LIST. And If you ever find
yourself wher" you have so many things
pressing upoI you that you hardly
know where 70 begin. let me tell you
a secret: Taie hold of the very one
that comes to hand and you will far
into line and follow after like a com
pany OF well-drilled soldiers; and, al
though work may be hard to NEE
when 1t charges in a squad, 1t is easil,
vanquished IL you can bring it int
line.

One Sunday n Year.

New Years Day Is a sort Of Corean
Sabbath. 1t Is the only Sunday The
Coreans have, and the same may be
said Of the Chinese. In Corea no one
ever works on New Years n there
are family reunions like u Thanks
| giving day. Children on this day are
expected to come home to their parents.
All debts have to be paid, and every
one expects to get his bills at the last
Of the year. On New Year morning 1t
Is imperative that you call upon your
friends, and you are expected to sac
rihce to your ancestors. The giving OF
New Year presents Is common and
these presents are always sent out in
a certain kind of a box, known as
New Years boxes. Everycomes out
In new clothes and for a week little
else than feastS- is done. The Co
reans are y superstitious and one
Of their New Years customs Is the
making Of effigies Of straw represent
In themselves. In these straw men
are hidden pieces OF money and also
pieces Of paper on which Is written
a prayer asking that the owner be de-
livered from all plaques and diseases
and misfortunes for the year to come,
Bows call for these effigies and cut
them up to get the money out of them.
After they are torn to pieces the re-
mainders are thrown at some cross
roads, where they are burned.
The Japanese celebrate the New Year
much the same as do the Chinese
Calls are made, presents exchanged
and settlements are expected. The
children are out In force. They play
all sorts Of games and they make
snow men just as I'll boys do in Amer
lea.
The Turks have a number Of holi
days. l was in Constantir ople on Mo
hammed's birthday and the people
were all out in their best clothes and
[ watched the sultan go to the mos

! goes every year across Constantinopl'

so,at about play,ne fan-tag, and one

SQUAT about playing fan-tag, and one
Of the funniest customs Is that the
children have Of bathing their grand
mothers on New Years. The ugliest
looking old women OF the world are
the Siamese. The maidens are plump
and bright-eyed. They are short, sell
dom over five feet IN height, out .hey
are straight and well formed. lhey
wear nothing but q strip or COTTON
cloth a yard wide n about three
yards long, which they wind ABOUT
their hips and fasten by pulling the
ends through between h less ana
tucking them into the belt at the back.
This Is the dress Of The common wom-
en-. and it Is only the better classes
who have anything about the should
ers. the bust and the neck. In such
costume a plump girl looks wen, but a
scrawny, wrinkled old woman looks
horrible. The Siamese women u
their hair short. 1t grows coarser as
they grow older and it stands up ike
a shoe brush all ,ver their aeads.
These grandmothers Fave bristles
about an inch long. They all cnew
the betel nut, and long before they
have grandchildren their teeth are
black and their lips are cracked ana
stained. They squat around the mouse
on their launches doing little put
smoking cigarettes and chewing peter
nuts, and they vary the puftlng out
the smoke with the splitting out peter
juice.
The celebration Of New Years Day
Is sanctioned by the Buddhists, ana
A ,.-.z yoI;nrn that the S0nlS OF
those Buddhists who have gone 10
purgatory come back to earth on uhat
day. The people pour water out on
the ground In celebration or this, n
they always go to the temples n
visit the shrines. Every idol In the
kingdom Is bathed with perfumed wa
ter and incense Is burned by the cord.
They lay flowers upon the idols and
they weave garlands and put them In
TO Buddha's hand. The children play
tricks upon one another much the same
as we do on Halloween or April /.
They black eacE. others faces and
push each other into the river. They
havea water celebration much the
same as In Burmah, and the king has
a reception Of his officers much the
same as has our president
Slams Mock King.
Speaking Of the king, Siam has an
other queer holiday, during which tn
king nominally gives his power Owe
to a mock king, and the whole OF Sian
takes part In the celebration. Th'
governor Of the province sent i1e al
invitation to it while l was in Bang

world a few years ago I struck a num-
Der of queer New Year celebrations,
and I find that every ne ton celebrates
uhe day differently, says Frark q. Car
penter In the Chicago Herald. The
people of Burmah and Siam have the
most curious customs. The Burmaus
ehink that a spirit king at that time
Aescends from heaven to earth and
upon the manner Of his coming de-
ponds the prosperity of thu year. The
Sstrologers fix the tine OF his appear
ance and they give the signal when he
has come. Then cannons are fired,
runs are shot and every mar and WON
m in the country makes a prayer
and pours a libation of water on the
ground. This is the last night or n
old year, ard the next morning Is 10
be the beginning Of the New Year
holidays.
The Burmese Water Feast.
New Year in Burmah begins with q
great water feast, and the Burmese
girls and women for this day reign SUI
preme. I wish ! could show you a
Burmese girl. She is as pretty as any
Of her kind the world over b is
straight, well-formed, and fine looking.
Her red lips are luscious, her eyes are
large. brown and velvety, and her
cheeks are the color Of the cream OF
your own Jersey COW, with a faint
tinge OF red In the center. She wears
but two garments; n Is a white sac
one OF fine silk or cotton, which covers
the arms and bust and falls to the
waist, and the other Is O strip or sllE

which is wrapped tightly around the

In which an almond has been placed
