In Japan a curious custom is in vogue with respect to the naming o f babies. The newborn is taken to the temple when it has attained the age o f two weeks, and to the priest who receives him the father o f the little one suggests three names deemed to be appropriate. The priest writes these three names on slips of paper. He holds these slips o f paper for a few minutes and then throws them over his shoul der, sending them as high in the air as possible. The slip that reach- the 'ground last contains the name that is conferred on the wait ing baby. The next step in the process is for the priest to copy the name on a e of silk or fine paper, which is ded to the proud parent with these words: “ So shall the child be named.” — Harper’s Weekly.
