These were carved and polished carnelian, jade, and onyx stones, with holes drilled in them and strung to- gether as necklaces and ornaments the jewelry of the ancient people of rank. In modern days, strange as it may seem, Japanese ladies wear no jewelry on their person, though hair ornaments are exceedingly gay and girdles surpass description. It was now time to get under the mosquito nets, for outdoors they heard the jingle of the iron rings on the staff of the night watchman on his first round, and his cry, " Hi no yo!" or "Look out for fire!"

THE DREAM-WORLD.<br />
HOW does the world look to a Japanese child?<br />
Who live in "it ? Who inhabit the strange<br />
corners, the woods, hills, valleys, roofs, high places,<br />
the air and the night, and dwell in the hazy dis-<br />
tance ? Who and what influence him in the visible<br />
and the invisible universe ?<br />
In a word, what is the Japanese child taught and<br />
told to believe ? How is he charmed or frightened ?<br />
What are his own fancies ? How does he dream ?<br />
In the Rai family the father made it a point to<br />
teach his children to know the difference between<br />
fact and fancy, between what was known and proved,<br />
and what was dreamed or imagined. The stories he<br />
told to his children were from history, or, if funny<br />
and only amusing, were of a good, healthy sort.<br />
Even Mrs. Rai was careful as to what entered the<br />
but neither she nor her husband<br />
children's minds ;<br />
could always control what Uhe'i, and Taka the<br />
cook, and O-gin (Miss Silver) the nursemaid, told<br />
the children. Neither were grandma and cousins<br />
and uncles and aunts so strict or careful as the<br />
parents. Besides, Echizen was an old land, full of<br />
relics underneath, and wonders above ground, and<br />
was rich in history, tradition, legend, and story. Air
