ment. Fortunately, one Of their
relatives, named Chudaya, had q lovely
daughter called Halsuka. Accordingly
a go-between was employed to enter
into negotiations with Chudayn, re-
garding the marriage.
When the young folks were allowed
to see each other, neither party OBJ
jected, and SO presents We're exchanged.
A lucky day was then chosen, and
everything prepared with the brides
removal to her new home; her clothes
were cut out and made and needed
articles purchased. So Chudayn was
kept busy preparing for the wedding.
The parents made their daughter
Halsuka blacken her teeth, rs Il sign
that she would not marry a second hus.
band; they also carefully taught her
that she must obey her husband, be
dutiful to her father-in-law, and love
her mother-in-law.
Kanemochi. on his part, cleaned up
his house inside and out, made prepara-
ton for the marriage ceremony and
feast, assembled his relatives and
friends, and sent out many of his
servants to meet the bride on her way,
and to give notice of her approach, that
all might be prepared for her reception.
Soon the bride came in her palanquin,
with her trunks carried before her,
and Il io;g line of attendants follow
ing her. Kanemochi went out as far
rs the gate to meet her, and ushcred
her into the parlor. AZ a signal from
the go-between to the bride and the
bridegroom to confirm the marriage
bond, the two exchanged between
themselves three cups Of saki, drinking
three times from each cup in turns.
When this ceremony, the "three times
three" was ended, the relatives and
friends exchanged cups with the bride,
in token of good will. and thus the
union was consummated. Shortly
afterward the bride, her husband and
his parents visited her home. The
JOY of her parents was great. They
made Il feast. with music and dancing.
In the evening the bride returned
homo with her husband and his
| parents. with whom she lived in har.
mony, contcnted, prosperous aud baf
by, and much to be congratulated.
The couple kept to their rooms, their
children were never allowed to play in
the street, and. therefore, the wicked
cat did not get any one of them.

PREPARING FOR II WEDDING.
don't tell it, grandma does, and in
Japan the grandmas tell the same
story that their grandmas were told
by their grandmns. Yet it is a new
story to every generation of children,
and is always enjoyed, for they have
few printed books in Japan, and most
stories-not only fairy tales, but his.
tory, too-arc told and not read from
books.
An old Japanese grandma, in her
robe of blue silk, that had figures on
it in red and gold as large as those of
n chintz bed curtain, and with wooden
shoes that kept her feet four inches
from the ground, as if they We're IL pair
of stilts. told this story to her grand
children one night as they lay on the
floor with only a wooden pillow to rest
their nccks on. Not that they were
poor people, but that is the way all
neople sleep in Japan. This is the
story she told the children before they
went to sleep:
A long time ago there vas a white
mouse called Tamara no kanemo.li,
who was u servant of Dailiokutcn, the
Japanese God of Wealth. This mouse
had Il wife, and her name was Onaga.
Both Kanemochi and his wife were
very discreet. Never in the daytime,
nor even Mt nignt,did they venture into
the parlor or kitchen; and so they lived
in quietnde, free from danger of meet
ing the cat.
Their only son, Fukutaro, also was
of a gentle disposition. When he was
old enough TO take Il wife, his parents
concluded to get him one, transfer
their property to him and seek retire.

ORIGIN OF oMENs.
Survival of Celestial superstittons in
These Modern Times.

Something OF the influence of ancient
astrology is shown in the popular belief
that the rising and setting of Sirius, the
dog-star, infuses madness into the ca
nine race. In our medical prescrip-
tons, too, the old superstition appears.
The ornamental part Of the apothecary's
r is none other than the sign of Jupi-
ter, under whose special care medicines
were supposed to have been placed;
and II %nostru.ns are still compounded
under the symbol of Jovc's protection.
The letter itself (recipe-take) and its
flourish mean substantially this: "Un-
der the good auspices of Joye, the pat
ron Of medicine, take the following
goods in the proportion set down."
Some try to throw the responsibility
for the symbol r back on Raphael, but
the sum of evidence points TO Jupiter as
its patron.
In America Friday is additionally in
good repute. Columbus sailed on Fri
day, and first discovered land on Fri
day; the Pilgrims landed on Friday,
and on Friday Washington was born.
Yet even in America, Notwithstanding
all these "bcst accidents" Il flavor Of
misfortune attends the day, and the
statistics OF travel and mercantile trans
actions for Friday show how wide
spread is the prejudice against it.
Other days less generally maligned
are Gains birthday, the first Monday in
April; May 8, called the Dismal Day"
in the Highlands of Scotland; and De-
cember 81, when Judas hanged himself.
Apropos of Judas, the superstition Of
unlucky thirteen probably has its origin
with the unworthy disciple. The i'll
omen dates from the Last Supper, when
thirteen sat ut table. One denied his
Master and went out and hanged HIM
self, and since that time
Twelve grouped together fear another one.
A decp-seated prejudice obtains
against any given thirteen dipping to-
gether in the dish, lest one fall a victim
to misfortune before the end of the
year. The existence of the defiant
Thirteen Club" in New York, which
makes that lucklcss number the pivot
on which all its doings turn, should do
something to dispei this time-stained
