graphic announcement that they in

north next Monday for the purpose of
submitting their views respecting un-
employment. They do not ask the
prime minister when he will or can
receive them; they simply give the
day and hour of their intended ap-
pearance for an interview. Their
| chief anxiety is that the cabinets un-
employment committee will try to
shift too large a portion of the bur-

mand that the burden shall be dis

cording to its ability to pay.
Trade Slightly Better.
There is slight Improvement in

ODD BELIEFS or JAPANESE
Popular superstItIons- Have Mostly
Sprung From Moral Precepts
and Are Quite Harmless.

There are many popular, as distin-
guished from religious, superstitions
In Japan. These originally sprang
from mostly moral precepts and are
quite harmless. They prevail more
widely among people in the rural and
mountain districts than among city
jewellers and among the older and ig-
norant classes than among the young
and educated groups, Some Of these
superstitions are:
At a marriage ceremony dress OF
purple color is taboo, lest the mutual
love of the bride and groom be soon
lost, as purple is a color most liable
to fade.
If while a person Is very i'll cup
of medicine be upset by accident, it
is a sure sign of his recovery; he
needs medicine no longer.
Fire is the spirit Of the god KOJlin.
It is supposed to have purifying eff
feet and must be respected. To step
on fire, to throw refuse in It. viii
cause the wrath Of the god and hence
a calamity. The bore is not unknown
In Japan, and the Japanese are pes
tered with visitors who sit their vel.
come out and drive their hosts into
a frenzy of eagerness to get rid OF
them. The Japanese recipe Of getting
rid of them is as follows: Go to the
kitchen, turn the broom upside down
put a towel over it and fan 1t Justify
Tho tadioua visitors will a0On danarf
Japanese babies and children arC
not allowed to look into mirrors. FOL
IL they do, when they grow up and
marry they viii have twins.
When measles, chickenpox or whoop
ing cough prevails in neighborhoOt
and parents do not wish to have theil
children become infected they put {
notice on the front door stating tina
their children are absent.
