A Jap's Different Names.

Every European child can answer
the question, what is your name?"
without hesitation unless he is dumb,
but the japanese boy must think lit
tie to make sure, for at various periods
of his life he is called by different
names. He receives his first when he
is just a month old. Then three dit-
ferent names are written on three slips
of paper and thrown into the air in
the temple, while prayers are adj
dressed to the family deity. That
which falls fret to the ground bears
the name the child is called TIL he is
three years old. At fifteen the Japan
ese boy receives new name in honor
of his coming Of age. His name is

marriage and on any advance in his

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Rain
which fell in torrents did not prevent
a good attendance at the Republican
party's semicentennial. The desire to
see and hear such well known men as
Senators Charles w. Fairbanks and
Chauncey NJ. Depew attracted enough
people to fill nearly all the seats on the
floor of the convention hall, with a
fair sprinkling in the gallery. The two
senators sat at the front of the plat
form with the presiding officer, and
both were loudly cheered when they
came in.
The celebration was brought about
by a committee composed of surviving
delegates to the first regular Repub-
lican state convention issued from Al
bany, and arrangements for the cele-
bration originated with William
Barnes, ST., of that city. Occupying
seats on the platform were 125 white
haired veterans who voted for John c.
Fremont.
William Barnes, Sr., opened the
meeting. Frederick w. Seward, son of
the famous war secretary of state.
William ii. Seward, presided. Besides
Senators Depew and Fairbanks, among
the speakers were Murat Halstad, sec
rotary of the first Republican national!
convention. and Lieutenant John c.
