NAMES OF JAPANESE
They Vary at Different Periods of
Their Lives

Their Lives.
The naming of a japanese baby is
not simply the bestowal of a name
upon it soon after its birth, by which
it shall be known during it's lifetime.
The name of a Japanese is changed
at various periods of his life
When Japanese child is a month
old he is given his first name, with
national religious ceremonies The
child is taken in state to the family
temple. Servants carry the entire in
fantile wardrobe, the extent OF which
indicates the degree of the father. At
the end of the procession a servant
walks, carrying a box which contains
money to give to the officiating priest.
and slip of paper on which the three
names are written. On entering the
temple the father hands the paper
containing the names to the priest,
who copies them on three separate
sheets. which he mixes and shakes at
random, while pronOuncing In a loud
voice a sacramento invocation to the
god to whom the temple is dedicated.
He then losses them in the air. and
the first one that touches the holy floor
is selected as the choice of the presid-
ing divinity. This name is written
on piece of paper by the priest and
is given to the child's father as
tallsman. During the ceremony sacred
songs, with instrumental accountant
ments, are chanted Visits to relatives
and friends of the parents follow the
christening, in celebration of which
festivities of various kinds are in
dulged in and presents given to the
child.
The Japanese child wears loose gar
ments until he is 3 years old. At that
time they are discarded and his
clothes are bound around his waist
with girdle. The girdling ceremonies
are public and are accompa med by
very elaborate religious rites. On that
occasion he receives new name. His
education begins. at this period and is
considered finished at IS, at which
time he attains his majority. He as
sumes the responsibilities of man
s1d takes his place in society with
new name.
Entering upon the duties of public
function, he takes anothername, wnicn
IS changed upon every advancement In
rank or dignity in his official position
His name is changed upon the slightest
Dretext. If his superior officer happens
70 have the same name, the subaTtern's
must be changed, for it detracts from
he dignity of chief for subordinate
% possess the same name. He receives
new name upon his marriage. His
asst, and only permanent name is the
1ne given him after his death. which
is inscribed upon bis tomb.-Ledger

the work OH both sides being done
mostly by the pitchers; Ovitz famed

for the visitors, struck out II between
them.

would have been larger attendance,
had all stores been closed during the
game, as some We're.
The following Tuesday the boys
went to Platteville and returned
the game with the Normal team of
that place. This is the last game
OF the season, and, as was proper it
resulted in a victory for the Highs
the score being g and .. The game
was exciting and interesting to watch
throughout, but neither team played
in its standard style. Ovitz, the "boy
pitcher" for the Highs, had lame
arm and was in bad condition TO
throw, in consequence, both Knight,
and Enzenroth had IA trial in the box,
but Ovitz,returned in the last two and
held the score down. *.*
