ferent character, though children's
parties and picnics are not omitted.
At every house where dwells young
boy, bamboo pole is seen, suspended
from the pole great hollow paper
carp, symbol of success in surmount-
ing life's difficulties. The boys may
not have dolls, but they have very
good substitutes; figures representing
Wrestlers, heroes, generals, gods of
strength; and these figures are fur
nished with the weapons of the brave.
What games do the little people of
Japan play? We recognize not a few.
There is our old friend, "prisoner's
base;" and something very like "fox-
and-geese;" and, of course tag" is
seen, that simple yet exhilarating
pastime favorite with the babies of
the world. 1t goes without saying
that the Nipponese indulge in kite
flying, for everyone has heard of their
wonderful kites. The girls may be
seen hunting fireflies with circular
fans, and in summer time a favorije
sport is sharing the semi (cicadaS).
They capture these by means Of rod
and bird-lime, and carry home noisy
grasshoppers in little bamboo cages
brought along for the purpose. They
hang up the semi, and take great de.
light in the chirp of the Gagged insect.
But life is not all play for the baby
Japs. AS soon as the square baby girl
can toddle, she learns by means of her
strapped-on doll how to carry an in
FAINT on her back safely and with COM
parative comfort-for the infant-and
as soon as she herself has graduated
from babyhood, is expected to be a
mother to the babies that~have sup
planted her. And she proves a very
gentle, thoroughly adorable little
mother. One longs to pick her and her
burden up and give both a hearty
western embrace; but this would as
tonish and offend both dignified east
erners, and we forbear.
Lady Lawson says of Nippon:-''a
land which is truly, as Sir Rutherford
Alcock calls it, The Paradise of b.
bies.' They swarm everywhere in the
most crowded thoroughfares, never re-
buked never ill-treated, never In the
way, with grave formal manners, look.
ing like dignifed burlesques as they
toddle along in their long flowing
gowns and long sleeves"
The children really are more SOL
~emn in appearance than their elders,
the latter great chatterers and given
to much laughter. But the, solemn
babies of Japan are very happy, per-
haps are the .happiest children of any
land. ..~" :.s III: = ~ - s.; :,
