What a jolly, happy time O'Haru and

mother tucked each child into bed with
a loving goodnight.
These Japanese beds consist of two

THE NEW YEAR
OF O'HARU OF
CHRYSANTHEMUM LAND
How She and Her Brother Matsu
Saw the Young Year In.

1t was the first day of the New Year,
was but o'clock in the morning,
crowds of people dressed in holiday
attire were Fastening through the
streets to where there was high
ground. that they might catch sight
OF the rising sun. If one saw its first
rays he was sure to have good luck
all the year.
Little O'Haru, with her parents and
her brother Matsu. watched from the
temple grounds for the coming sun;
and when its beams shone above the
edge OF the horizon the whole family
gravely bowed toward the East, then
clapped their hands three times and
said little prayer. This over, they
greeted friends and relatives, and went
home to breakfast.
O'Haru was much excited this morn
ing, for, being the youngest of the fam
lily, she would have the beautiful red
lacquer cup of sake passed to her first,
as was the Japanese custom.
Now, this cup was used only on New
Years morning. when it was filed
with a special sort OF sake-the Jap
anese name for a drink made from
rice. BY taking a sip of this, each
person would be kept in good health
all the year.
People in Japan. except perhaps the
peasants, do not really believe this
now, but the pretty old custom is kept
up.
OHaru took the cup in her little
hands, that trembled with joy, and
drank, feeling that she was of much
importance this New Years morning.

mother and brothers and sisters were
out working in the fields.
When Sunbeam returned after the
sixth bowl she saw that the soup was
getting low in the pot and she was
much distressed.
ooh, dear!" cried she, what shall
do? If take all the soup to the many
headed snake gentleman the rest of
the family will have no supper, and
even then he would not be half fed"
Don't cry" suddenly said kind
voice. Don't cry"
Sunbeam looked, and there, in the
corner of the room, stood the prettiest
fairy that ever came out of a story
book

tinued the fairy, Il will lend you my
own magic bowl, which always fills
itself, no matter how often you eat

YES. with cabbage soup. Why not ?"
replied the fairy.
"Oh, nothing" said the little girl.
"only I did not know that fairies ate

"They do; lots of It," snapped the
fairy, who did not seem to like the turn
the conversation had taken.

your snakes, child ?" cried the fairy.
Then Little Sunbeam told her of the

the list of imports are eggs. When
ever a person opens German picture
book he almost invariably finds a hen
or two in the foreground. The hen
gives almost a national character to
German art. Yet here are the figures
that do not lie, and say plainly that
Germany imports SO many eggs that
it pays more each year for imported
eggs than it does for all the horses
that are imported, or all the lumber
and wood, or all the tobacco, or all
the coal, or all the gold bullion. 1t is
terrible accusation against the Ger
man hen.
Now comes surprise No. 2.
If you were asked from which land
Germany imports the most, of course
you would say Immediately, THE
United States" Naturally, the United
States is first everywhere all the time.
But what country would you name
as being second in Importance? Prob
ably you would never hit on Russia,
would you? But so it is.
Great Britain, which ought to be
second, doesn't even come in third.
Austria Hungary occupies that posi-
ton. Then comes Great Britain, then
France, then the British Indies. At
the very bottom of the list is the Do
mlnican Republic which is on the is
lduu Oh Can DOnlnBOs IN the west IN
dies, where they have a revolution
every few moments.
A funny thing about this list is that
one of the places that is named as
being a land" from which Germany
imports things is Hamburg. And
Hamburg leads the Empire of Japan
and Mexico and British North America.
The reason Hamburg figures as lex
porting" goods into Germany is that
proud old Hamburg still is a free city.
Don't you remember reading in his
tories of the world about the wonder
full Hanseatic League of Cities that
once helped in no small degree to rule
the whole known earth?
Hamburg was one Of them, and she
is free and Independent power to
this day, calling herself the State and
Free City Of Hamburg. Her govern
ment is that of a republic. and she Is
ruled by a House of Burgesses and by
Senators, who are elected for life.
Not such bad stuff to find in a table
of appalling looking figures, is It?

thing 1 want most I can't get" he
complained. She was all sympathy.
Maybe" she suggested, you have
not gone about it rightly. Try it
some other way"
eve tried a hundred ways" he as
serted, mindful of many fruitless eff
forts to make her understand. i've
tried every way 1 can think of, and
1 am no better off than 1 was a long
time ago"
She was all sympathy, naturally sup
posing that this was some trouble with
his business. that he did not like to
speak of.
Look here. Mark" she pleaded;
''you will never do anything if you
feel this way about it. You are young
and clever. There is no reason why
you should not be successful. Now
turn over a new leaf, this is the proper
time, and try again."
Mark started. See here, Grace" he
demanded, "if turn over a new leaf
will you help me?"
"All I can, you know that" she
answered him heartily.
He was excited by emotion that he
could scarcely raise himself from his
chair. Finally, however. he stood UP
and with unsteady stride led her over
to the table.
She followed wonderingly. She had
never seen him so moved. and Won
dered what this new leaf could be that
it should require a Biblical oath.
With trembling hands he turned the
leaves of the family Bible, and at last
pointed to the entry of her birth in
the gaudily decorated Family Record.
This is the leaf l want you to turn
with me-" he declared. She glanced
at the heading Of the next leaf and
understood. 1t was entitled Mar
riages,"

The honorable guest room" in
O'Haru's home-or the drawing room,
as we would call it-looked very gay,
for 1t was decorated with flowers, bam-
boo, pine and many other pretty and
curious things. Here, too, was queer
little table, called a sambo, on which
were several articles, and each one of
them had a special meaning, while the
whole tableful was intended as a bud
get of good wishes to the guests that
day.
There We're dried chestnuts, and
these meant, May good luck be yours
all the year," Then some black peas
stood for Success to you!" A lobster
meant May you live to be so very
old that your body will be bent over
like Holsters"
Later in the day callers began drop
ping In. Each one carried parcel,
beautifully done up and tied with red
and white-the New Years colors.
These were gifts for the family; and,
after the greetings were over, and the
visitors had bowed their thanks for
all the good wishes expressed to them
by the articles on the sambo, they pre-
scented their gifts.
O'Haru and Matsu were not forgot
ten. Baskets Of oranges, fans, tops and
many other pretty things were given
to them.
In the Afternoon OHaru and Matsu
asked permission TO go out of doors.
This being granted, the children, af-
ter saluting their parents very respect
fully by kneeling down and bending
over until their foreheads touched the
fioor--for Japanese children are Won
derfully polite-put ON their out-of-
door things.
Then O'Haru took her battledore
and shuttlecocks, and Matsu his kite,
and they ran out into the street to
play.
The street was full of happy chill
dren, the boys flying kites, the girls
playing battledore and shuttIecock.
The Japanese boys play at flying
kite very differently from boys of 9TH
err countries. Their kite-strings are
covered with powdered glass for sew
eral yards. and, when the kites are
flying, each boy tries to cut the other
boys kite-strings; and the one that
cuts the greatest number Of kite
strings, or the one who captures the
largest number of kites as they fall
from their severed kite-strings. is the
winner. Twice our friend Matsu won
a game that afternoon.
Little O'Haru was not able 10 beat
the bigger girls IN battledore and
shuttlecock; but she played very wen.
Some OF the time she helped the tiny
tots 10 spin their tops. In one sunny
nook some children were gathered
about a dish Of water. They had
boxful OF wee things that looked like
bits Of colOred threads: but when one
OF these was placed IN water II began

have replied according to the book:
Those question marks ask the boon
that makes me the happiest man in
the world"
Grace had asked the question prop
erly enough, but with the question
bashfulness overlook him. Instead of
winning a wife he was scolded be-
cloth.
He had begun to feel that his bash
fitness would cost him his life's hap
piness, and was looking forward to
the next Leap Year in the hope that
she might exercise the traditional
privilege.
1t must not be supposed that in all
things Mark was a simpleton. Apart
from this one question he found a
ready tongue. He was a clean-cut,
honest-faced young fellow, such as
would please any girl. 1t was only
when a proposal were imminent that
he suddenly became tongue-tied and
stammered like a rustic clown.
Grace had been fond of him even
in the old school days, and he found
a cordial welcome when he put in an
appearance at the Pomfret home to
assist Grace in properly observing the
passing of a year and the birth OF a
new season.
Inc little parlOr seemed more IKE
home to him than the boarding house,
where he dragged out miserable ex-
istence. He was essentially a home
lover, and this dreary hall bedroom
of his, where the chambermaid gave
him damp towels, or none at all, was
misery to him.
He sank into an armchair after
greetings had been exchanged, and for
a while talk flowed smoothly. Grace
was in high spirits and not a little in
clined to tease. She rallied him upon

new necktie, declaring that she
would never permit any one over whom
she possessed jurisdiction TO wear one
like it.
Il wish you would pick out mine, ="
he urged; then he breathed hard. Here
was a proposal as neat as anything
he ever remembered reading in a
novel.
Grace laughed lightly. "why, of
course, l will, if you want me to-" she
promised. Meet me at lunch to-mor-
row and we will go shopping"
Now Mark might have pressed his
advantage and suggested getting prices
on furniture and things as we'll as
neckties. He might have done so, but
the moment he realized that he had
already proposed and that Grace did
not know it, all hope was lost.
He sank into a brown study. Grace,
all unconscious of her density, strove
to rally him. Next year is leap year, -
she remarked lightly. He nodded his
head.
IT'S my last chance" he declared
What do you mean?" she asked Gu
riously.
Mark had intended to reply that
unless some girl asked him to marry
her that he would have to remain a
bachelor. Then he would suggest that
in an hour it would be leap year, and
that she had the first opportunity. In
stead his bashfulness again came to
the fore.
IF 1 don't have better luck this
coming year than have had" he de-
clared, not without a suggestion of
truth, Il might as we'll give up"
Don't say that" she pleaded. you
are young man yet, and have every
prospect"
He shook his head gloomily. 1.-THE
