The Seaforth News, 1926-02-18, Page 3CELEBRATE; ALTHOUGH INFANT A GIRL. Giving'Fitting: Cognomen to Imperial Child Made Occa- sion for Great Ceremony. When the stork hovered over the palace of the Prince Regent and ,Crown Princess of Japan on December 7,Aaan entire _nation was 'expectantly awaiting to learn Whether an imperial • bejl?,woul,d be born or only a -girl baby. Although the arrival of a baby prin- cess was 'announced by the booming of two cannon shots in Tokio and by a twenty-one gun 'elute in Kobe„ the event was not nearly as auspicious nor the rejoicing -so spontaneous as would have been :the case had the chidrcd beer a boy birth. of a male child is always••a much more important event hi any family than the arrival ce a mere girl and especially so- in the case of an lin- - perial in--perial birth, when a boy .child means en heir to the imperial throne. ITad the child born to Prince Hiro- hito and Princess Nagako been a -boy, a three-day general holiday wound have signalized the event, and the sentences of all prisoners in the En1r pire would have been reduced True, there were phbltc and -private oele- Ations tllroughouttthe land on the official naming day, seven days after tll'e -infant's birth, but no holiday was • declared and the prisoners, were doom- ed to disappointment. Weeks before the princess• was born the newspapers ' were giving great prominence to news about the ap- proaching confinement of the Crown Princess.' -Emperor Sends Gift. As soon as the news was flashed to' the palace of the Emperor announcing that a granddaughter had been born, an imperial mese•nger was sent to the palace of the Crown Princess with the Emperor's first gift to the child, wh4ch, according 'toancient custom, was 'a short sword with a blade about nine inches in length. The most important ceremonies in- cident to an imperial birth are those -held en the naming day. The child rejoices• in the name Teru .no Miya Shigeko Nal-Shinno, which means "the enduring lustre of the sun and moon." The name was selected by the Elm - press from three names submitted by the Minister of the Imperial House-. hold after profound consideration. The -.name day ceremonies, started early in the morning when the infant was bathed by alma. Shimazu, head lady of the court, assisted by two mid- wives and Dr. Mikami, of Imperial University. During the battling rites selections were read from the Nihon - she'd, one cf the oldest of Japanese backs. Selected by Empress. Later the name selected by the Em- press was conveyed by Count Toku- gawa, grand chamberlain td the. Em- peror, and to the palace of the Prince Regent and Crown Princss, Count Chlnda, stward to. the Prince Regent, receival the imperial messenger in the Crimson Hall, and Count °hinds pre- sented his tname, written on a sheet of -lino paper and inclosed in a lacquer 'box, to the Prince Regent in the audi- , mice hall. The 'naming ceremony was performed to the, accompaniment of the twanging of ancient bowstrings. A bulletin announcing the name • of the child and the origin of the name was Issued shortly before noon, and the Prince Regent dispatched messen- gers to inform the Emperor and Em- press of the name and also to apprise the imperial ancestors at the Imperial Sanctuary. Throughout the morning school children carrying special name -day fins thronged in front of the palace of the Prince Regent, and a procession' of 5,000 members of the young men's societies of Tokio marched from the imperial palace to Hibiya Park, where a military band played in honor of the occasion. - Flags were displayed from private, homes and office buildings for seven days after the imperial birth, and the palace was deluged with official and private messages of congratulation, No Fame After Death Motion'pioture producers at Holly- wood are perplexed by the faot that while the public will pay ,money to read a dead man's music, see a dead man's plays,. or hear a (lead man's music,, it invariably epurne the acting of a i1101 star who has. died. When one. of the most popular come- dians of early "movie" days died dur- ing the height of his fame, it was ac- cepted as a foregone conclusion by officials of the company that had "fea- tured" ,>)l that his death was ah op- portunity to demonstrate a great "movie"rinlracle—.the power in the alms to make a men live on beyond the grave, as lifelike to the spectators as if he never bad died. But the public dropped him, The company found his pictures- were' a da+ng on the market. He was, dead; end film enthnedasts deol`ined to pay money to see the shadow of a man scarcely any of them bad ever seen in the fleslm;, That was an earlj' instance of a truth. which Later experience has eau. firmed over andover again. Fortune gives too much to many, but to none enough. PI` SALT . DURING, . !ER Colds, Influenza and Like Trou- bies Can be Avoided.

Whatever your sex, at some time or other iiou have probably written a let- ter and put'some "crosses" in it—for kisses. But have you ever wondered why a cross should be used as the written symbol of a kiss? - This story is interesting and takes us back to the times when few could. read, and still fewer could write•. In' that reepectthe nobility were no bet- ter than those of a lower station of life; bat'tipeds transferring, property, wills, and other documelitshad -to be signed somehow., So those who could not write names "made their mark," and this, in an age when religious synlbolisan was very much in evidence, usually took the farm of a cross, From motives of reverence the shape used was not that of the cross.of Calvary, but the St Andrew crosses, which re- sembles the letter "X. Having duly made their mark, the signatories• of a document kissed it partly as a' pledge of good faith and partly as ah act' of reverence, And so a cross marked on: Paper became.as- sociated with a kiss.
