When two dry surfaces are rubbed

ways, such as the hard work required
to cause the motion, and also as heat

OF the surfaces.

IN FOODS.

~Succulence is a term applied to
foods which contain q certain ropOr
ton of water. Milk is "a per cent
water. In summer cattle get all the
succulence they require. In winter
s~ucculent foods have to be furnished
If we expect to keep up the milk flow.
1t is the water which the cow gets
IN her food rather than the water
which she drinks hat goes into the
milk. Much of the water which she
drinks, IS used by nature to carry off
certain chemicals in the system for
which she has no longer any use. The
excess of nitrogen is carried off in this
way and gives this expelled water an
ammonia odor.
All grains contain some water but
not enough. SilO n roots are rich
IN water content. When her ration
IS made up of a share of succulence
IN winter the COW keeps up her nor

principle that an improperly winter
fed COW, Increases her milk TOW when
she is returned to pasture in the

ures, at last comes to a close. On the second day
Of the year the duty Of work is celebrated. In the
home the children strive to show to their parents
the best they can do in penmanship or in memory
Of things to be learned. Girls try their first orna-
mental needlework or piece OF music; merchants
open their shops with q show of receiving their
first goods for the year. On the street many pro-
cessions Of coolies are seen bearing beautifully or
namented specimens Of the trades Of their masters.
Heavily loaded wagons, brilliantly decorated with
lanterns, nags and advertisements. drawn by oxen
covered with many colored cloths. pass from dis
trict to district, accompanied by singing and dane
ing workmen.
Toward the evening of the second day street
peddlers, crying Treasure ships for sale!" go
about among the crowds. They sell rough draw
ings of the Seven Gods OF Happiness" anoat in
a boat. Multitudes buy these caricatures Of an
ancient sacred group. much as we might buy a
pictured Santa Claus. That night the treasure

that come then mean much for the rest Of the
opening year.
On the third day Of the New Year the nremen

the fifteenth day. however, the instruments Of tor
ture In hell begin to work again. On this day 1t
is that the temples consecrated to Emma o, the
king Of Hades, are crammed with devctees and
gather large sums of offerings from fearful sin
ners. II Is a wonderful sight. a temple OF Emma o
in mid-January, In one Of the great cities. A Ro-
man carnival could not be more ~jostling, jolly or
absurdly funny. Japanese fun making Is at its
freest there, and al that Is done seems to be for
given the worshipers. II their contributions to the
treasure boxes OF his majesty, the regent Of the
inferno, are generous. With the festival Of this
god the new year on earth and under the earth
has for the Japanese passed away as q feast. and
life's duties fairly begun again.
OF course the Japanese New Year is today fast
losing some Of It's ola-time Characteristic fascina-
tons, but enough Of its unique quaintness and
charm remain to give 1t distinctiveness among the
festivals OF the nations. and to keep 1t an object
