Aa soon aa the new little brother or eUter arrives, a apecial uien-eDgiT is scut to notify relatives and friends who expected new-ootner into the world. The women welcome a new lit tle nephew or niece, by bringing with them, as is tlie custom in Japan, some present, which must always be accoui paioed by dried Ssh or eggs, for good luck. Tbe baby, if it be the first ooe iu the family, receives many presents iu the first few weeks of its life, which must all be acknowledged at lhe proper time by its parents When it is a week old it re ceives its name, but to call a child after a person would not, as with us, be consid ered an honor. Names of beautiful ob jects in nature are oommonly used for girls, such as Snow, Sunshine, Gold, while boys of tbe lower classes are often called Stone, Bear, or Tiger. The important event in the baby's life is on the thirtieth day after its birth when il is taken for its first visit to the teviple. For this occasion great prepare lions are made, and the baby ia dressed in garincois of finest silk or crepe, made i-piria ly for the festival. Accompanied by member- of I lie family, it is carried to oueuf the Shinto temples, and theie placed uoder the protection ol the patron deilyof the temple. Offerings aremadi the god and to the priest,' a blessii.g is obtained, aud the god thus chosen is sup posed to become the special guardian ol the child llirouiih lile. You know thai in heathen Japan the people have mil been taught towonhip the true Ood, uud so these poor, deluded people have a great number of what they call Shiolo deil lea. Alter the ceremony is over, there is ually uu entertainment of some kind at e ti.uie ofthe pareuls, especially if the auiily be one of high rauk. Vrienda, or any who have mil yet given the baby a present, usually give it at this liuie A eertaiu k iu J ul' riee, cooked with red beans, making a festival driuk, deooliug good lortuoe, is one of the things (re pared for this occasion. Alt. r this lestivul a quiet life begius 'or the baby, as the babies in Japan are reuied somewhat differently from those n this country. They are not rocked or trotted to sleep, and as their dress is very simple, liillc time is spent in dressing or undressing them. The Japanese baby's Iress consists of a wide-sleeved, straight ifaruif nt made of silk, ootton, or Annuel, he number ol ihese garments worn be- no iii-ierui!iieil by the season ol tneyeur. hey are all made after one pattern, be nt precisely the same as the dress worn by their sisters and mothers, which is Cillid the kimono, lhe method ul put ting these dresses on the babies is lather peeuli ir The little garments are fitted one inside of the other before they are put on; then tbey are laid down on the floor aud the baby is laid into them; a soft belt attached to the outside dress is tied around the waist, aud the baby U dressed wiihout any crying or screaming. rii.se little kimonos are made long enough to cover up the little bure feet, aud the sleeves also cover the hands, which must raiher annoying to active babies who wish to use their little fists. The baby's first lessons in walking are taken under favorable circumstances, as iu Japan there is no furniture to fall against, and babies can tumble about they like upon tbe soft matted floors of the dwelliug-houses, their little feet shod in a soli lit'en-like sock. After learning to walk in the house, baby's first attempt out ul'dours is hampered by a sltaw aan dal, called a geta, attached to the foot by a strap passing between the toes; but the little thiugs soon become accustomed to the new foot covering, and babies of two or three years trot about uile oomforla bl) in geta that seem to us to give lb most iusecuie footing. The kci even of a young baby may be koowu by the color of ita clothing, for iu J apau boys arc dressed in sober iolot. grays and browns, while the little girls wear the brightest and most gorgeous gaimenis, which correspond often very lit uugly iih pritly names which are givi n to J ipaiii selittle girls Edith Uibbard in (jood Cheer.
