when Japanese Maids Are Jiltet

When Japanese Maids Are Tilted.
A Japanese woman when abandoned
by her lover takes a peculiar and pic
turesque revenge.
When she no longer has any doubt as
to his faithlessness, she gets up in the
middle Of the night and puts on
pleading dress and wooden sandals.
Attached to her headdress she carries
three lighted candles, and suspended to
her neck hangs a small mirror. She
takes in her left hand a small straw
effigy of the faithless one, and in her
right hammer and nails.
Walking gravely to the sanctuary,
she selects one of the sacred trees, and
nails the effigy< securely to the trunk.
She then prays for the~death of the
traitor, vowing that if her wish is
granted she will take out the nails
which trouble her god, since they are
fastened to sacred tree. Night after
night she comes to the tree, adding one
or two nails and repeating her prayers,
persuaded that the god will not hest
tate to sacrifice the man to save the
tree.-LondOn Mail.

Substitute For Candles.

There were two substitutes for cam
dies. The one was the ancient oil lamp,
the croosie (FreInSSh creuseb, triangu
lar metal saucer with an upright hook
at the base to be hung up by. There
was an inner saucer, movable, to grad
uate the use of the oil. At the apex
of the angle was flame, coming from
wick made of pitch of rushes, which
must be cut at full moon, as the fame
was thought to wax and wane with the
moon if cut at any other time. The
, other substitute for the candle was the
bog candle. 1t was made by splitting
up the resinous logs Of the primeval
frs that are found imbedded in the
boys.
They were left to dry at the freside
over the cruck or chain that held up
the pot over the fire. The candlestick,
called the peerman, was stone with
a hole in>dts center, into which was fix
ed a pillar of wood about four feet high
and tipped with a cleft piece of iron,
into which the candle fitted. The nose
of the candle was always turned to the
door-BIackwood's Magazine.
