Jap Maids Revenge.

When a japanese maid Is Tilted by
her lover she takes peculiar and pic
turesque revenge. No longer doubt
ing his faithlessness, she gets up in the
middle of the night and puts on a
pleasing dress and wooden sandals,
Attached to her headdress she carries
three lighted candles, and suspended to
her neck hangs small mirror.
She takes in her left hand small
straw efigy 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 efigy 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.

THE SABLE HOLIDAY.

~~%~~
The sable and seal hunts each be-
gin new year in the calendar Of the
Gilyaks, who live on Sakhalin island,
on the Straits of Tartary. These two
years, which begin in October and
April, are called the winter year and
the summer year, and are opened by
holiday festivals. The sable holiday
goes by the name of ''the prayer to
the lord of the forest" Mr.. HAYES,
in his book entitled "In the UtternOst
East" describes it.
It Is wintry scene. The snares are
set on logs and branches which span
the narrow streams and creeks. The
first SHOWS have fallen. The trees
stand silent in the somber depths,
hanging their hoary, lichen-coEered
branches.

For this reason, and because Pal nj

mountains, the Gilyaks take the pre-
caution of making their Offering on
high ground.
When the hunting season is ad.
vanced, the snare is abandoned and an
other method for the capture Of the
sable Is adopted. The native sets out
with his dogs, who quickly find the
tracks Of the little animal, and drive
it up a tree. The hunter then lets
fly blunt arrow and, If skilful, stuns
his prey. With fair success he may
thus take seven or eight sables In 9
