Great Rejoicing at the Birth Of . Son.
NeaAant Superstition.
Hyogo this morning lies in limpid
magnifcepoe of light, indescribabIe-
spring nghA which Is vapory and lends a
sort of apparttionai charm to far things
seen through It Forms remain sharply
outlined, but are almost idealized by faint
colorv not belonging to them, and the
cloudless aplendor Of tint that seems the
ghost Of azure rather than azure itself.
Over the blue gray slope Of tiled roofs
there Is vast quivering and futtering Of
extraordinary shapes-a spectacle not In
deed new TO me, but always delicious. Ev-
erywhere are foating-tied to very tall
bamboo poles-immense brightly colored
paper fish, which look and move as IL alive.
The greatest number vary from to Is
feet In length, but here and there see a
baby scarcely foot long, hooked In the
tail Of a large one. Some poles have four
or five fish attached to them at heights
pRoportioned to the dimensions Of the fish.
The largest ID always at the top. So cum
ningly shaped and colored these fish are
that the first sight Of them Is always star
Ting TO q stranger. The lines holding them
are fastened within the head, and the
wind. entering the open mouth, not only
initiates the body to perfect form, but keeps
1t undulating = rising and descending,
turning and twisting, precisely like real
fish, while the tail plays and the fins wave
irreproaohahly. In the garden of my max,
door neighbor there are two very fine spec.
linens. One has an orange belly and Q
blush gray back, the other is all silvery
tint, and both have big. weird eyes The
rustling OF their motion as they swim
against the sky Is like the sound of wind
In canefieid. A little farther of I see an.
other very big fish, With little red boy
clinging to Ms back. That red boy repre-.
sents Kintoki, strongest Of all children
ever born In Japan, who, while still ba
by, wrestled with the bears and set traps
for goblin birds.
. Everybody knows that these paper carp
or koi, are hoisted only during the period
of the great birth festival of boys, In ths
fifth month; that their presence above 6
house signifies the birth of son, and that
they symbolic the hope of the parents
that their lad win be able to WIN his way
through the world against all obstacles
even as the real koi, the great Japanest
carp, ascends swift rivers against thu

KaMr Dentistry.

This methods Of extracting teeth among
the Kaffirs are barbarous in the extreme
and remind one Of the fortunes Of the dark
ages.
Tho patient is placed on the ground, and
four men are employed to hold him down,
two taking bis arms and two his legs.
Then the operator kneels down beside him,
and, taking piece OF sharpened ivory, steel
or wood, he calmly proceeds to hack away
at the gum until the offending tooth is
loose. He then extracts 1t with finger and
thumb, the patient having suffered natu-
rally unspeakabie agonies.
The time occupied in the operation is
often of long duration, sometimes extend
ing over as much as 30 minutes, but of
course this varies according to the strength
of the tooth. Persons in this country who
make practice Of taking an anestbetic
when having q tooth extracted would
probably find the operation as performed
by the Katfir dentist a little troublesome,
to say the least Of 1t.
OF course the Kaf1rs dwelling In or near
5he towns go to the ordinary dentist, but
those living far away from civilization
have no alternative but to resort to the
sne5hads described above. = Pearson "a
