as follows:
All persons renouncing their country

punishment Of this ofiense no distinction

After japanese lover has proven
false 10 his vows, the deserted maiden
rises early in the morning, and dons o
white robe and high sandals or clogs.
Her Golf is a metal tripod, in which are
thrust three lighted candles; around
her neck she hangs a mirror, which falls
apon her bosom; in her baud she car
mes a small straw fgure-the efiigy Of
her fGithless iover-and in her right
hand she carries a hammer and nail,
with which she nails into one of the
sacred trees that surround the shrine.
Then she prays for the death of the
traitor, vowing that il her petition be
heard she will herself pull out the nails
which offend the god by wounding the
mystic tree Night after night she
comes to the shrine, and each night she
strikes in two mere nails, believing that
every nail will shorten her lovers life.
for the god, to save his tree, will surely
strike him dead. 1t is curious illus
tration Of the deep bold superstition yet
has on the japanese mind.
