BDL9031230 Codex Selden (Codex Añute): Mixtec pictorial manuscript ( ñee ñuhu ), 1556 × 1560s. MS. Arch. Selden. A.2, p. 7. Starting at bottom (continuation of p. 6). Band I (left to right). Rest of the offerings brought by F 6 Monkey and her husband 10 Wind to the goddess 9 Grass 'Death': second necklace made of gold beads in the form of hooks, a red chili with a heart and two plates of gold, two checkered objects, apparently made of cloth, but adorned with jade, a 'Death Serpent' with two bone awls, and a complete dress made up of a huipil, skirt, and quechquemitl. The letter is adorned with a fringe of white Xonecuillis on a black ground, the same as the one worn by the goddess 9 Grass, which is a characteristic symbol of her (see her depiction on p. 6-IV). After the offerings comes a date: day 10 Wind of the year 10 Reed (1035), which might refer to a day in the past. Three women and four men , and a fifth man playing the tepoznatli (in the centre), participate in a dance which takes place on this date. Among the dancers, we can recognise: F 9 Grass 'Death', M 11 Wind 'Bloody Tiger', F 6 Monkey 'Serpent Quechquemitl', an old man and an old woman, and a man wearing the mask and beard of Ehecatl, the wind god. The other male is not identifiable. They all carry flowers in their hands and, in general, a woman alternates with a man. After the dance, M 11 Wind and F 6 Monkey get married by bathing together in the River of Corn, on the day 7 Flower of the year 12 House (1037). Band II (right to left). A number of objects is presented to the couple: a white huipil with undulating lines, red dots, and snail symbol; two small cloths similarly decorated with red lines; other black dotted cloths with red border and fringe, one of them having a red bow and the other what appears to be a knotted feather; a xicolli or red tunic, with featherd fringe and cords to tie it, ending in pearls; a similar xicolli, decorated besides with an ear of corn, which seeCodex Selden (Codex Añute): Mixtec pictorial manuscript ( ñee ñuhu ), 1556 × 1560s. MS to be a symbol of royal power, as respresented in other codices; and finally two feathered headdresses. One of these has a ball of down, an eagle feather, and three quetzal feathers (which is the plumage of the warrior), and the other is set in gold, with three dark feathers and three of the quetzal. The year following the ceremonial bath and the offerings, the elder from Belching Mountain, M 10 Lizard 'Ruffled Hair-Jade Axe-Eagle Down-Flaming Mirror-Arrow', calls two ambassadors named M 2 Flower 'Xiuhcoatl Eye' and M 3 Alligator 'Jade Pheasant'. 2 Flower and 3 Alligator are consecutive days in the tonalpohualli; they both belong to the seventh 13-day week, which starts with 1 Rain dedicated to Tlaloc. These men might also be twins. The elder hires them to take the princess 6 Monkey 'Serpent Quechquemitl' to the place which can be called Xipe Bundle, the town of his wife 11 Wind. Band III (left to right). The ambassadors leave on the day 9 Serpent of the year 13 Rabbit (1038). M 3 Alligator 'Jade Pheasant', who is in front, carries a staff decorated with jades and quetzal plumes; the part where he grasps it is covered with cloth or paper decorated with red stripes. He is carrying some branches with leaves and flowers. M 2 Flower 'Xiuhcoatl Eye' follows behind him; his staff is decorated with a solar half disk and topped with an adornment of quetzal plumes and a flint knife. He carries the princess 6 Monkey on his back (her head is visible). As they pass through the towns called Hill of the Moon and Hill of the Bumble-bee, the lords of these places M 6 Lizard 'Twisted Hill-Cotton(?)' and M 2 Alligator 'Cacaxtli-Cotton (?)' speak insultingly to them, that is, as sharply as flint knives (note flint knives added to the shapes symbolising their speech, which come out of their mouths). Band IV (right to left). The princess 6 Monkey 'Serpent Quechquemitl' arrives at the town of Skull and complains before the goddess 9 Grass 'Jawbone' of the treatment she has received.

LLM11720825 Street in Tokio, Japan. Tokio (formerly called Yedo) is the capital of Japan, and is an hour's ride by rail from Yokohama. It was thrown open to foreign travel only as recently as 1869, but it has made up for lost time by assuming many European characteristics. It now has numerous buildings constructed on the European style. Foreign dress and the European mode of arranging the hair have also been very extensively adopted. Electric lights and telephones no longer excite wonder here. Tram-cars and omnibusses may be also seen, althong! the vehicle most used is the Jinrikisha, specimens of which are visible at the left of this illustration. In these a man places himself between the shafts and plays the part of a horse for as many hours and for as long a distance as the traveller can bear to be drawn by him. The size of Tokio is enormous, almost equalling that of London, and its population is nearly one and a half millions. The "sights" of such a city, as may be easily imagined, can not be exhausted so soon as the sight-seer himself. Numerous and interesting temples, the Mikado's Palace, the Imperial University, the Arsenal, the famous Ueno Park, the admirable Museum of Japanese Antiquities, these together with the fascinating shops of Curios, Lacquer Work and Bronzes, furnish material for many days of constant pleasure and employment. There are few sidewalks in Tokio, the streets themselves being used freely, and not without danger, by foot-passengers and vehicles. Every omnibus and coaches of all descriptions carry horns, which the drivers blow to warn people to clear the way. Extensive conflagrations frequently take place here, for most of the buildings are made of wood. Earthquakes are of common occurrence, and have occasioned at times enormous loss of life.
