SEAL UNIVERSAL IN JAPAN
Law Requires That Each Individual
Have His Device Registered In
Government Office.

Since Japanese law requires that
each individual should send In an
impression of his seal as a specimen
called Jitsu-in-to have It registered
and kept in government office, that
it may represent him in deed. 1t fol-
lows that every Japanese must have

These seals are of wood, stone or
metal, with signs engraved on the
face. They are used in addition to
a signature to represent an individ-
ual, legal person or a corporation.
The seals of the present emperor are
distinguished as privy and state seals.
They are each three inches square.
The state seal is used for the most
part upon documents relating TO for
eign countries and has Chinese char
acters engraved upon it; the privy
seals are stamped on imperial re
scripts, issued for proclamations at
home.
There are two ways Of engraving
characters on seal, relief and in
taglio. In the one the characters in
the impression are shown in color,
while in the other they are repre-,
scented in white on colored ground
The ink used for stamping is gen.
orally of vermilion red.
The cheapest of the Japanese seals
are made of lockwood, and are sold at
Ave cents each. Most seals are oval
in shape, but some are round and
others square. They rarely exceed
one-half inch in diameter.

CARGO NITRATE
Of SODA COMES
FINE AMERICAN STEAMSHIP
REACHES PORT WITH LARGE
SHIPMENT FROM THE COAST OF
CHILL - FORMERLY A BRITISH
VESSEL.

Arriving late yesterday afternoon.
and too late to be officially reported,
the big American steamship Craster
Hall, 2759 tons, was found to carry for
this place a very large consignment of
nitrate of soda, the first TO arrive since
the outbreak of the European war.
Immediately upon arrival, the big
vessel was boarded and ordered berthed
at the west side of Tarragona wharf,
where the greater portion of her cargo
will be discharged into cars and the
warehouse.
The Craster Hall, one of the Hall
liners, was formerly a British vessel,
flying the British coIors when she went
to the west coast of Chill. Her registry
was changed, however, and when she
returned to the states yesterday a new,
bright, stars and stripes futtered from
the stern.
While it was not stated yesterday, 1t
is understood that the steamer will
discharge the entire consignment Of
about $500 tons at Pensa cola, and a
ruInor which gained pretty wide circu-
Iation during the afternoon was that.
the steamer would fill out with cotton
here after the discharge of the soda
cargo.

JEWISH FEAST
OF DEDICATION
IT BEGINS SATURDAY EVENING
AND WILL BE CELEBRATED
SUNDAY AT TEMPLE BETHEL
BY APPROPRIATE EXERCISES
CHILDREN WILL CONDUCT THE
PROGRAM.

One Of the most interesting half
holidays in the Jewish calendar be-
gins this year on Saturday evening,
December IL, and lasts for eight days.
1t is known as Chanukkah, the Feast
Of Dedication, and eagerly looked for
ward to by the children of the Jewish
household, for It has in large measure
come to be q children's festival.
The historical background Of the
celebration is found in the fact that
in the year 1875 B. c. Judas Maccabeus,
one of the few martial heroes in Jewish
history, re-dedicated to the service Of
the One God, the Temple at Jerusalem
after it's pollution by Antiochus Epi-
phanes, who had set up in place OF
Gods altar, a shrine to his heather
god. Just three years after this pol
luton, on the twenty-fifth day of the
month of Kisiev, the Temple was re-
claimed and re-dedicated to the service
Of God.
Around the festival cluster many
beautiful legends, which have helped
to shape the character of the celebra-
ton. One such legend is to the effect
that when the Temple was re-dedi-
Gated only a single cruise Of oil was
AOuIlu uupOIAulSU, Oul through the NIL
raculous Intervention of God, this oil
proved to be sufficient for burning for
eight successive nights, and until other
oil fit for the service might be pre-
pared. For this reason, to this day,
Jews light candles in their homes in
celebration of Chanukkah for eight
successive nights, one on the first
night, two on the second, and so on.
There is a theory that even before
the historical event which Chanukkah
celebrates the feast had been observed
by Jews as the beginning OF the win
ter solstice, and that it's origin is
with that of the Christian
Christmas and the Roman Saturnalia
which occur at about the same sea-
son, and which are likewise celebrated /
by the lighting Of lights and the inter !
change Of gifts
Among the Jews, Chanukkah is a |
time for rejoicing not only on the |
part of the children, but as well on the i
part of the poor, who are always
literally remembered.
This feast will be observed with ap-
oropriate exercises by the children of
Temple Bethel Sabbath school at the
emple auditorium on Sunday morning
1t 0:30 O'Clock.
The service and musical selections.
'ecitations and addresses will be rem
Tered by the children of the Sabbath
school. Prof. B. B. Lane, principal
# the Pensacola High School, will ad-
Iress the assembly. The public is cor
Tally invited to attend these extreme
Y interesting exercises.
