timely topic with contrete Illustrations. Let
us isKe a year, month, day and hour by
the western calendar, which is practically
International In its use. for examule 11:30
a. m. of Friday, November 38, 1H09. of the
Christian era. But. according to the na
tional calendar, which reckons from Jimmu
lenno, who is reputed to hava founded
the empire of Japan In m B. C. It Is the
year 2569 of the Japanese era. And, accord
ing to another style of reckoning by spe
cial epochs, it is the forty-second year of
the Meijl era, or Era of Enlightened Rule,
which began In IStiS. and corresponds prac
tically, though not precisely, t6 the en
lightened reign of his Imperial majesty the
present emperor of Japan. Again. If the
calendar of the mighty neighbor, China, be
borrowed, as It Is often necessary to use
If for reference, it la the first year of the
new Hsuan Tung era. and the second year
of the reign of the new Emepror Fuyl.
Moreover. In the Sexagenary "Cycle of
Cathay." It Is the forty-sixth ear of the
current cycle, which began in 1SS4. and,
according to the aodiacal menagerie of that
cycle. It Is called tsuchl no to tori no
toahl, or wrought earth, cock v.r
according to tha lunar calendar, the year
aia not realty Begin till January a. 190
and It will continue for SS4 days, till Febnf
ary 10, 1910, Therefore it Is leap year and
contains thirteen months by repeating the
lunar second month. The regular second
month contained thirty days, from Febru
ary SO to March 21, inclusive; while the
Intercalary, or extra second month,' con
tained twenty-nine days, from March 22 to
April 19, Inclusive.
Tha Sexagenary Cycle mentioned above
waa formed by combining tha twelve signs
of tha sodlao with the ten "celestial
terns," obtained by dividing Into two parts
each of the five elements (wood, fire,
earth, mental, water). This process gives
just sixty combinations. The names of the
oriental signs of the zodiao are. In order,
as follows:

The month of November la In tho lunar
calendar tha tenth month of the year. That
month, moreover, used bo given more poet
ical appellations, auch aa Ko-haru (Little
Spring), known aa Indian summer In tha
weat and Kan-na-sukl (Godless month);
for tha Hhlnto dletlea, except Ebiau (god of

other parts of the country, and to assemble
in "annual conference" In their ancestral
home In Iiumo. Therefore, the month was
called Kamtnaki-tmikl, or Kaml-na-sukl,
or Kan-na-xukl (Qod-not-month); and It
was considered useless to offer prayers
and sacrifices, except to Eblsti, whose great
festival was on the twentieth day of the
tenth month.
Day antes.
This day is called In English by the
name of Friday, or Frlgga's day, but In
Japan It Is Kinyobi, or Metal day, or the
day of the planet Venua. The present ar
rangement Is as fallows: Qetsuyobl
Moon day Monday; Nlchlyobl Sun day
Sunday; Kwayobl Mars day Tuesday;
Kuyyobl Mercury day Wednesday ; Mo
Juyobl Jupiter day Thursday ; Klnyobl
Venus day Friday ; Doyobl Saturn day
Saturday. This Is apparently an adapta-;
tton of the western arrangement of the
week, which was entirely unknown, as the
days of each month had numerical names.
For Instance, the twenty-alxth day, of the
month, according to the occidental calendar
becomes In the oriental calendar the four
teenth day of the tenth month.
The hours, too, In Old Japan had a spe
cial schedule of their own, quit different
from the present one. And, while it is com
paratively rare to hear the old style used,
It la so common In literature that aom
explanation Is neceseary her. In the first
place. It should be stated that the common
Interval of tima waa 120 minutes In length,
so that flier wera only twelve hours
in a day, so six hours counted twice,
schedule was as follows:
The
Kokonotsti-dokl (ninth
hour)
(eighth
11 p. m. 1 a. m. and
11 a. m. 1 p. m.
, 1-1 a. m. and p. m.
. 3-5 a. m. and p. m.
. 5-7 a. m. and p. m.
. T-9 a. m. and p. m.
.9-11 a. m. and p. m.
Tatsu-dokl
hour) ....
Nanatnu-doki (seventh
hour)
Mutmi-dokl (sixth
nour)
ItNutsu-doki Jfifth
hour)
Totsu-doki (fourth
hour)
We may add that this style of computa
tion Is based on multiples of "nine" and
that In each case the "tall" figore of the
product was taken as the name of the
hour. An hour was subdivided sometimes
Into upper and lower koku. each of which
waa Just sixty minutes long. Thus 11:30
a. m. becomes the upper koku of the ninth
hour.
Hoar Names.
Moreover, the hours of the day were also
named according to tha heavenly menag
erie In the following way:
Hour of tha Rat-ll:00 p. m. to 1:00 a m.;
Ox 1-1 a. m.; Tlger-3-5 a. m.; Hare-5-7
a. nvi Dragon 7-9 a. m.; Serpent 9-11 a.
m.; Horse, 11 a. m. 1 p. m.; Ooat 1-2 p.
m.; Monkey i-i p. m.; Cock 6-7 p. m.;
Dog-7-9 p. nv; Boar 9-11 p. m.
Thua 11:30 a. m. Is also In the upper
koku of the Hour of the Horse. The
Hour- of the Ox. by-the-way, being the
time of sound sleep, was sacred to women
kfrossed In love for taking vengeance upon
a straw Image of the recent lover at the
shrine of Fudo.
It haa already been slated that last year
was "Cock year"; and It may only be ad
ded that, since "a cock on a drum" be
came symbolical of peace, and prosperity,
a "cock year" Is considered lucky. And,
as one contemplates the events of the past
year, and reads the reports of extraordi
nary good crops, he cannot deny that peace
and prosperity appeared to Japan last
cock year. ,
The year 1910 would be called Ka-no-e,
Inu no toahl, or natural metal, dog year,
by the old calendar, In Which, however,
It does not really begin until February 10.
and will run over into January, 1911. The
dog 'has been Immortalised In Japanese
atory by his connection with the fsmou
Momotaro In the successful expedition
against tha devils. He has also a prom
inent place In Japanese literature through
Bakln's famous novel, entitled "Hakken
den," or "Story of Eight Dogs." "This
enormous work," as Aston style it "nar
rates the adventurea and exploits of eight
heroes of seml-canlne parentage, who
represent the eight cardinal virtues. The
dog also figure extensively In Japanese
folk-lore, where his better side predom
inates and ha renders valuable assistance
to mankind. Especlally the papier-mache
dog Is the perpetual , protector of little
children, and, when hang above their
heads, makes them stop crying."
If any one thinks that these old styles
of reckoning are absolete, let him exam
ine one of the daily vernacular newspapers
of Tokyo. He will find many of them
used; and, as If to emphasize the contrasts
between the old and tho new, he will find,
cheek by' Jowl with them, notice of such ,
modern tlrne-savlng devices as telephones!

When Man Takes llest I'boioavrapa.
"Men who need a shuve take a better
picture than those who are freshly shaven,'
said a local photographer one diiy last
week. "The short hairs not ten. the line
cf the face and altogether give a less
harsh and more even catt of expression,
while all signs of unKhaveiiiiess can ba
eliminated by a few strokes of the re
toucher's brush. The sensitive plate of
the photographer does not mis a atngle
wrinkle on a man's face. Home of these
run be painted out. but If too much re
touching I done the result la to take away
all expression from the face.
. "Two or three daya' growth of beard
Just nicely conceals the worst of these
wrinkles and reduces the r toucher's Work
to a minimum, fiy this means all harsh
ness Is ellmlnsted. but at the same time
the normal expression of the face la re
tained. Very few men realise this fact
and 'nine out of every ten carefully shave
before going down to the photographer,
and a a result huve poorer pic tures for
their trouble." Philadelphia Record.
