In the mode OF baptising children
the sharp contrast between the old
and the new customs OF Japan is
more evident than in most OF their
other phases OF life
According to the old custom
the baptism of the child is accompa-
MED with much ceremony. The baby
was taken 10 the temple escorted
By a procession at the end of which
was a servant carrying the child's
wardrobe. the size and richness OF
which indicated the social standing
OF the parents When the temple
was reached paper was handed TO
the officiating priest, upon which
three names We're written. These
names were copied on three separate
slips of paper by the priest who then
put them into a box and shook them
together. at the same time offering
an invocation TO the gods. Finally
he would draw out one of the slips
and read out the name given TO the
child as it was believed by the gods.
Custom Getting obcolete.
This custom is. according to Con
sui General Mkt Saito of this city
rapidly getting obsolete. In the large
cities it is not practiced at all but in
the remote parts of the empire the
common people still cling TO the old
custom. The custom Of changing
a persons name on different occa-
sions has been stopped by the Jap
anese government. however.
1t was customary to change per
sons name as he passed through
different periods of life. When he at
tanned his majority. which was for
merly at the age of Is, he got new
name When he began official life
he got another new name. and every
time he rose a degree in his career |
his name was again changed. Thus
it would be a wise parent that knew |
its own child.
Celebration Of Baptism.
At present all of this is different !
When a child is born his name is
registered in the registers Office and |
in the census bureau. His baptism |
is made the cause of celebration !
and gifts are sent to the child from
relatives and friends but no temple |
ceremonies take place as most of the
enlightened japanese do not now
have much to do with the Shinto or
Buddhist temples. The name is new
er changed in any place OF the empire
except of course in case of adoption /
or in the case of a woman when she
gets married. The age of majority /
has also been changed to q years
as in other countries.
Compulsory Education.
Attendance at the public schools
has also been made compulsory and |
every child in Japan is bound through /
the law TO go TO school when it at
tains the age of six years. Thus
the quaint and picturesque costumes
OF old Japan are rapidly fading away
under the sway OF the government |
which looks TO progress and has
very little sympathy with conserva-
tism.
While the decay of the quaint !
charms of the old fashions may cause
regret to the foreigners and tour
lists who visit the country the Jap
alese themselves are doing away |
with all such customs so rapidly
that. the nation will soon be similar
in all its customs and government 10 !

And He WInketh Not.

If there is one thing more annoy
ing than another that cabinet Off
Ger has to contend with, it is the oft
repeated rumor that he is about to
resign or that the president is trying
to force him out. Both Secretaries
Gage and Long grew very tired an
Fwering questions about their tenure
of office long before they were ready
to step out, and now Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson and Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock are having
the same experience.
"Pll tell you what I'll do when
get ready to leave" said Secretary
Wilson to a knot of inquirers the
other day. "1'll wink my left eye
very impressively, and then you'll
know that the resignation is in"
"But you may forget some day
and wink when you have no inten-
ton of conveying that idea," he was
told.
Don't be alarmed" was the an
swer of the head farmer of the gov

says, Cursed be he that winketh

Which was taken to mean that he

Fits Hurts.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-When Robert
Fitzsimmons tumbled down twenty marble
steps at the Orpheunl Theatre, in Brook
Ign, Tuesday, he had just come from the
office OF the proprietor, his friend, bust

Fitz went there to see what could be
done about getting backing to fight JET
fries. After he had been taken to his
home, at Bath Beach, he came out again
to let his friends see that he was not SO
badly injured as at first reported.

D,sdRuNTLED REFcRMERs.

The prophets Of the millennium VINO
pinned their faith on Seth Low and the
Incoming administration in New York
as a certain and speedy remedy Tor an
corruption and disagreement are pc
ginning TO find out that you cannot MAKE
five million people law-abidins and per-
fcctly docile at once. unless the people
choose to help in the. operation. Inerc
are doubtless in New York great many
people who are anxious and willing to
soc every lazy enforced; who pay their
own taxes and wish others to do The
same; who keep out of barroo1ns on sun
day. even if they do not 80 TO the club,
and sec no reason why tho same rule
should not be followed by everybody
else.
But there arc also in New York a great
many people for whom Sunday means
simply a day of cessation from work
with a large opportunity for self-indul-
Sence. and this class of people cannot
have their whole method of life changed
by an election.
The only possible way to have laws
enforced is TO have the people who make
laws willing to enforce them, and it
would be inadvisable and foolish on the
rart OF the refor1ners to complain that
there was no virtue left in mankind SIM
ply because the incoming administration
has not cradicated in three weeks ten
denotes and methods that have grown up
urhindcred for yesrs.
Public spirit is a delicate matter TO
handle. but a terrible power when reused.
Like every other great thing, it is mat
ter of slow growth, and the duty of the
rcformcrs who elected the present city
government OF New York is to give their
cordial countenance and support to those
ia whom the city's government has been
entrusted. If at the end of two years
some appreciate advance has been made,
there will be great cause for satisfaction.
Nothing, noteven tiereform of the biggest
CITY in America, can be done by a stroke
of the pen, or by simple wish to have
it done or simply because people would
have it so Here a. little and there
little must be the motto. Here dis
trict purified; there a bribe-talSins officer
removed Here a proper law enforced;
there an improper law amended. So that
by slow degrees the people may be taught
that the path of safety and happiness is
the path of law-abiding and honor. and
from the teaching of this lesson is re-
CURED far more patriotism and far more
self-denial than for the making Of q hur-
rah campaign.
