The Japanese have many quaint cus- toms handed down from generation ta generation. One of the stirangest is that of their naming ceiemony. When one month old a Japanese child gets its firdt name with ceremonial. Trumpets are blown, and the €hild is borne in great state to the family temple, and behind the procession march the house- hold servants carrying the infant's wordrobe. The servant in the rear of the procession bears a huge box, iu which is the priest's fee, together with three slips of paper; on which three names are written. On reaching the temple the names are thrown into the air, and the first that touches the ground is the one which the child re ceives. i When three years old the child is~ w again named, accompanied by elaborate religious rites. At the age of fifteen his education is supposed to be fin ished, and. as he then enters manhood (according to Japanese law) he is again named. : vhen he takes to business he re ceives his ‘business’ name, by which he is known in the commercial world. and upon every upward step in life he ceceives a new name. If his master: happens to have®the same name he must at once change it, as it detracts from his superior’s dignity. At hig marriage his name is altered again, and his last and only permanent one is that given him after death, which is written on his tomb.—London Answers. - The Furtive Look.
