In Japan 1t 10 q Religious Rite and
Serious Matter.
To devout japanese breakfast on
New Years day Is religious rite rath-
er than vulgar satisfaction of the ap-
petite. No ordinary dishes are con-
sumed at this meal. The tea must be
made with water drawn from the well
when the first ray of sun strikes it,
potpourri of materials specified by law
forms the staple dish, while at the fin
ish a measure of special sake from a
red lacquer cup must be drained by
whatsoever desires happiness during
the coming year.
In the room is placed an "elysian
stand" Or red lacquer tray, covered
with evergreen leaves and bearing q
rice dumping, lobster, oranges, per-
simmons, chestnuts, dried sardines and
herring roe. All these dishes have a
special Specification. The names of
some are Homogeneous with words Of
happy omen; the others have an ale
gorical meaning. The Holsters curved
back and long claws typify life pro-
longed till the frame is bent and the
beard is long; the sardines, which al
ways swim in pairs, express conjugal
bliss. the herring is symbolical Of a
fruitful progeny.
These dishes are not intended for
consumption, although in most cases
the appetite is fairly keen. The ortho-
dox Japanese not only sees the old
year out; he rises at to welcome the
newcomer and performs many ceremo-
MES before he breaks his fast.-London

The custom Of visiting and sending
presents and cards on New Years day
is recorded almost as far back as his
tory goes. The practice Of using visit
ing cards can be traced back for thou
sands of years by the Chinese. Their
New Years visiting cards are curiosi-
ties. Each one sets forth not only the
name, but all the titles, of its owner,
and, as all Cinnamon who have any
social position at all have about a
dozen, it makes the list quite appalling.
These cards are made Of silk or else OF
fine paper backed with silk and are SO
large that they have to be rolled up to
be carried conveniently. They are, in
deed, SO valuable that they are return.

How the Germans Celehrate the Con.

The evening Of Dec. 81 is known In
Germany as Sylvester evening. In Eu-
ropean calendars, excepting that Of
England, the days OF the year have
names, and Dec. 81 bears the name Of
Sylvester, who was bishop Of Rome in
the time Of the Emperor Constantine
and was obliged to hide himself in the
mountains to escape persecution. Then
It happened that Constantine was smit-
ten with leprosy, for which horrible
disease the physicians could propose
no other remedy than bath in the
blood Of young children. For this pur-
pose 5000 children were gathered, but
Constantine, moved to pity by the
despair Of the mothers, refused to avail
himself of such sacrifice. In the
night he was advised in q, dream to re-
call Sylvester and to accept the Chris
tan religion, which be did. ,.;,.,. ..ag;
