Butter some pie pans set in line;

DOLL FEAST IN JAPAN.
The feast of the dolls takes place on
the third day of the third month At
this time all the dolls OF the family,
some of them hundreds Of years old, are
brought out and for three days great
festivities are carried on.
There are dolls dressed like the mika-

tunes, daimios, samurais, and SO on
down the social scale, each ancestry car
ried on with great nicely and precision.
Oftentimes all the household furniture in
miniature is packed away with the dolls
and brought out on feast day.
At such times the trays. bowls, cups
and rice baskets are filled with tiny
scraps OF food and the dolls fare sulnp-
tuolsly during the three days OF the
feast
A delicate drink, which is harmless, is
brewed for this occasion, and everything
is done for the household OF dolls as care
fully as if they were real creatures OF flesh
brushes and other accessories. such as
paint and powder as we'll as the liquid
for blackening the teeth are provided
For three days the girls run riot with
their dolls and toys, and then the latter
are again locked up in the storehouse, to
remain another year without seeing the
light.

BE TRUE.

No liar can be man, for truthfulness
is absolutely an essential element in every
true man, and it is the necessary founda-
ton of every other worthy quality. Our
race has constitutional hatred OF lies
and liars. Every boy and every man
shuns liar. The liar carries with him
an air OF superior wisdom and a sort OF
bravado which renders him still more re-
pulsive Lies can be told by conduct as
we'll as by lip and word. Truth is inclu-
sive of all other virtues" Truth is cour-
age" says a noted writer. The man who
would be man must be true through
