Naming Bnbloo In Japan.
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.
