The largest shoe factory in France uses only American machinery. The growth of this manufactory is phe- nomenal. Before the Paris exposition of 1900 this factory was a very small one, employing only French machinery. Since then it has increased until it is now the largest in the republic.

Elaborate Ceremonies That Taxa

On the evening of the first day after
the baby has arrived the paterflmilias,
according to the Chinese custom, pros
trates himself before joss and. touch
ing his head to the floor. voices thanks
to the gods and to the honorable an
cestors for the small son who was sent
perfect Of body and full Of health. On
the evening Of the second Gay the cere
mony is repeated. and on the third day
the voice Of the wife joins that of the
husband in thanksgiving. Also on the
third day a limited number Of relatives
and friends are called in to witness
the first head shave
The looms of the home are decorated
for this occasion with green branches
Of either fir, cedar or spruce. to insure
fueng-suey. or good luck. to the house.
Other concentrations in honor of the
baby are long silk threads. bearing lit
tie circles. squares and hearts of gold
and scarlet paper. These are festooned
from the walls and are, hung from the
ceiling. A few feet away the threads
are invisible and the gay scraps Of pa
per appear to be floating in the air.
For the head shaving the guests are
seated in q semicircie before the joss.
The mother Is carried to seat Of
honor to the right Of the joss. and the
baby. swathed in yards Of scarlet and
purple silk. is brought in on an elabo-
rate pillow. The eldest child or near
est relative carries green branch,
crossed with threads Of scarlet paper.
and waves it slowly over the head Of
the baby. This wards off evil intiu-
ences and insnres good health. After
a quaint ceremony by the father be-
fore the joss the tiny forehead Of the
baby is shaved by the mother and a
christening similar to that of the
Christian religion-except that the
prayer is made to the ancestors and
the water used to sprinkle the baby is
perfumed with sandalwood-is a part
Of the ceremony.
The name by which the child Is aft
| erward known is also bestowed by the
mother. After the shaving Of the head
a cap Of scarlet silk. with decorations
of gold and jewels and with tiny
, round hole in the top. is placed upon
the baby's head. and the christening
is completed. In every Chinese family,
however poor, at least one banquet is
given in honor Of the birth Of boy.
The banquet viands may be only rice
and bit Of salt fish. and there may
be only half dozen or so present.
Nevertheless the feast is given. for it
is baby's right, and the rights Of babies
are respected by oriental parents.-Les-

RAW FISH AND WASABI.

An Appealing Dish That 10 a Favor
lite In Japan.
Not so we'll known among the occi-
dentals as soy sauce, but of equal
merit as an appetizer. is wasabi. Its
use is universal in Japan. 1t serves
the same purpose that horseradish
does on occidental tables. but is less
acrid.
My own Introduction to wasabi was
unique. count among my most pleas
ing experiences in this sunrise land
my meeting with Tumio Yano, novel
list and diplomat. And not the least
item in my debt of gratitude to him
Is that he taught me to appreciate my
raw fish and wasabi. Mr.. Yano has
been the mikado's ambassador to
China and other lands. One night at
the Nippon club he led up to delicate
subject on the menu with much diplo-
macy. He finally got my assent to the
statement that cosmopolitan appe-
title is one of the distinguishing marks
Of cultivated travel. Then he passed
me raw fish!
I confessed that was willing to he
stick in the mud or any other variety
Of silurian rather than take place with
the international elect by eating such
dish. My host, however, was pain
fully insistent, finally adding that with
raw fish they, of course, ate wasabi
Now, l did not have even vague
notion of what this might be, but with
that raw proposition before me it was
comforting to know that at least it
was to be diluted with something.
conjured up an experience in taking
castor oil ambushed under sherry and
sarsaparilla, which, while not bever-
age one would grow to crave. might
have been worse. l figured out also
that with my gaucheries with chop
sticks might manage without ex-
citing suspicion to drop the fish before
the fatal moment, and eat only the
mysterious wasabi. But whether
through cowardice or courage l can
not say, fish and relish made quick
and simultaneous journey to my re-
luctant palate. and in the never to be
forgotten instant there flashed into my
consciousness the undeniable truth
that in all my occidental years l had
been denied one of the most savory
dishes in the world. Charles Lambs
Chinaman had jubilant delight over his
first taste of roast pig, but that is a
degraded passion compared with an
Anglo-Saxon's initial ecstasy over an
oriental morsel of raw namdsu gar
nished with the appetizing roots of
Eutrema wasabi. All honor to tri-
umphant agricultural Japan, and may
this far eastern member Of the mus
tard family take deep root and spread
and flourish in my native land!-Har.

PlTH AND POINT.

As you become older. accustom your
self to neglect.
In promises for the future your
friends are all good to you.
Listen sister: if you marry money or
a title, that is all you ought to expect
to get out Of it.
When a man is sick and thinks he
is going to die he is so badly scared
that he is not cross.
If you want to please the hostess
don't accept all the invitations extend
ed by the host and the children.
If husband doesn't like to have his
wife save the old love letters he wrote
her let him write her new ones.
A man has many advantages over a
woman. A man can stop on the street
and watch other men work and make
suggestions. but woman can't do it
without being talked about.-Atchison

in his best Italian to make haste, as he
was trying to catch train.

A writer on famingoes, which he
has studied in their haunts in the Ba-

ably as near to the geese as to any
other order of birds, having similar
structure of bill and feet and some
what similar feather character. They
are unique. however, in their curiously
bent bill. which, though gooselike in
general economy, is constructed in
every detail upside down, as the bird
