Paper Fishes In Japan.

Outside the houses of any town
in Japan you will see one or more
paper fishes dangling and blowing
in the wind On making inquiry
you are informed that the paper
fishes represent the boys of the
household. Every new boy means
another fish. These limitations of
the koi are decorated with colored
silk and are thought a great deal of.
The fish which the Japanese call
koi is noted for its courage and
tenacity and is therefore regarded
as a fitting representation Of the
coming man.

The Abscedarians.

The Abecedarians were sect Of
German Anabaptists who arose in
the sixteenth century. They despis-
ed all learning, regarding it as a
hindrance to religion and looking
even upon the "A b c" with con-

The feast of the dolls is the
quaintest of all the little Japanese
girls festivals. In the storehouse,
where are kept all the family treas
ures, there are boxes filled with
dolls which have come down from
the grandmothers and great-grand-
mothers. Each new bride takes her
dolls when she goes to her father
in-law's house, and she keeps the
feast each year till her eldest daugh-
ter is old enough to take it up.
