NAMING A JAPANESE BABY.
Sometimes It Is a Rite as Solemn as a
Bishop’s Election.
Often the naming of a Japanese
baby is a simple matter, for the father
or grandfather speaking before the
company the name of some famous
man. if the child is a boy. or of some
favorite flower, if it is a girl. For
girls, liana, flower; Yuki. snow; Ai.
love, are the favorites of parents with
a poetical strain.
The sterner country folk choose for
their daughters Matsu, pine; Take,
bamboo (if the bamboo joints are ex
act. hence the exactness of virtue);
Fine, plum, since the plum bears both
cold and snow bravely. For boys,
Icbiro, first boy; Toshio, smart; Iwao.
strong, and Isamu, brave, are very
popular.
Where belief is strong in the power
of a name the family in holiday dress
often assembles in a large room. Each
writes a name upon a slip of paper
and lays it reverently before the house
shrine. From the group a very young
child is chosen and led before this
shrine, and the fate of the name is de
cided by the small hand which reach
es out for a slip. Though it is a fes
tive occasion, the selection of a name
is made with a seriousness worthy of
the election of a bishop. Many be
liove devoutly that this rite influences
the baby’s entire future, and therefore
the one whose slip is chosen incurs
from the moment of choice great re
sponsibility for the child’s welfare.—
Frances Little in Century Magazine.
rspeaking of epitaphs, there is in an
old Kentucky cemetery a tombstone in
scribed to tlie memory of one Sarah
Cole, long known to her husband and
the other citizens of her community a9
“Aunt Sally.” During her life there
were floating rumors to the effect that
she kept “Uncle John." her husband, in
that somewhat circumscribed space
known to the knowing as “under her
thumb.” fti any event his fellow
townsmen like to tell that it was on
the 31st of May that Uncle John’s mar
ble memorial was erected, bearing the
inscription. “Sleep on. Aunt Sally, till
the resurrection morn!" and that it
was on the 1st of June that Uncle
John was married to Miss Vi Daris,
the village dressmaker.—Exchange.
