When . Jap GIrI la JIIted.

A Japanese woman. when abandoned by her lover. takes a peculiar and pie turesaue revenge When she no longer has any doubt as to his faithlessness she gets up in the middle of the night and puts on pleasing dress and wood en sandals. Attached to her headdrees she carries three lighted candles, and suspended to her neck hangs a small mirror. She takes in her left hand small straw effigy of the faithless one, and in her right hand a hammer and nails. Walking gravely to the sanctuary, she selects one of the sac red trees and nails the effigy 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, ad- ding one or two nails, and repeatlne her prayers, persuaded that the god win not hesitate to sacrifice the man to have the tree.
