Writer Tells Of Tortures He Endured as
a Child.

At the age Of 6 found myself-in-
felix!-remOyed to town possessing
a bleak climate and many woOlen man
ufactories, says a writer in the Allan
tic Monthly. 1t was the custom of the
house mothers to buy flannel by the
piece, direct from the factory; red fan
mel, hot, thick, felled like Laplander,
and the invention Of Lucifer. Out Of
this flannel was cut a garment a con-
tinuous, all-embracing garment, Of neu-
ter gender, in which every child In that
town might have been observed fam
ing Mephstophelianlike after the
morning bath.
A pattern was given to our mother.
The hair shirt laugh when I read!
By definition the hair shirt must have
possessed geographical limits of at
tack, but my fannels left no pore un-
tickled, untortured; they heated the
flesh until scarlet fever paled into
mere pleasantly, and they soured the
milk of amiability within me forever.
Tho rotation Of the seasons reduced It.

Children Of the Flowery Kingdom Do

Among the many curious customs

which obtains throughout the nowery

Additions may play a large part In

In almost every home there Is a sort

that with which his western brother
takes his whipping, and sits before the
shrine Of his family divinity reading
aloud for the benefit of a number of
bystanders the long list of lies that has
brought him to this uncomfortable
pass.
The shrine before which this moral
water cure takes place resembles those
which are so common in the houses of
Catholic countries. The decoration of
flowers and numerous candles is much
like that with which the pious Italian
adorns the altar Of the Virgin or OF
his patron saint. Only the hideous lit
tie squatting figure Of the japanese
god shows that this is an infldel shrine.
In the morning the reverent head of
the house puts a cake, little heap of
rice and sprig Of green upon the al
tar, an offering intended to propitiate

upon the family. When darkness
