A japanese woman, when abandon.
ed by her lover, takes n peculiar and
picturesque revenge. When she no
longer has any doubt as to his faith
iessness she gets up in the middle Of
the night and puts on u pleasing 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 small straw efiigy 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 cffigy secure
ly to the trunk. She then prays for
the death Of the traitor, vowing that
II 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 hesitate to sacrifice
the man to save the tree.
