AN EMPEROR At THE Pillow.


OrrAo"b hitos performed by tho Ruler OF
China at Certain Intervals
In order to emphasize the Importance
OF the cultivation of the soil and to
encourage his subjects to follow agri-
cultural pursuits, the emperor of China
sometimes performs certain rites at
the "emperor's field, =" and goes through
The form of blowing and other work of
the husbandman. One day recently,
says the N. A. U. Cable, the emperor
set out at daybreak from his palace.
with numerous and magnificent train
of courtiers and Others Before break
fast the emperor arrived at the shrines
OF the deity presiding over agriculture,
and his majesty stopped to offer up his
Thanksgiving and sacrifices. After
changing his dress the morning repast
was served, at the end of which the
emperor proceeded to the field, at the
four corners of which were erected
four pavilions where the seeds of
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers OF mag
nlflcently attired courtiers, each hold
ing aloft many-colored flag, while on
the side of the passage were scores
of aged and white-haired farmers.
each having in his hand some agri-
cultural implement. Placing his left
hand on the plow and holding the
whip in his right hand, the emperor
began the ceremony of the occasion. |
BY prearrangement the officers did |
their allotted share, some welding the
agricultural implements, while others
scattered seeds out of the baskets as if
sowing, while the emperor was busted
with the pillow which was hitched to
richly caparisoned bullock, draped in
yellow and led by two of the emperors

his round at the plow the three princes
