wall, in his recently published work.
"A Journey in Japan" describes the
following queer specimin of native
simplicity:
There were two tanks or baths in the
chamber. made of white mrable, and
both supplied with warm water in
recess, the buckets for holding cold
water were suspended from a copper
rail running across it. Ny host
was quickly divested of his gar
ments, followed his example, and
very soon we were dabbling and plum
ging about in five feet of water. l
was in the act of emerging again from
the bath, when the fair Sondore -
yes, reader, Mrs Notkotoska, made
her appearance, and-oh, clouds and
sunshine-with her lady friend by
her side; There was no mistake about
it, they had seen us go into the bath
house. They did not blush nor turn
back. no. that was not to expected
from Japanese ladies. What was the
thing TO be done? The lovely crea-
lures were asking me how l liked the
bath. | was almost disposed to be
vulgar. and say, none the better for
seeing you," but its rudeness shocked
my delicacy as much as did the pres
ence of my hosts wife and virgin
friend, for the teeth of lattar were as
white as polished ivory. So much tie
worse for me, Il thought Nevertheless.
1 mustered that quiet courage SO neces
sary in positions of the kind. and COM
posed myself. Why should l trouble
myself about it, thought 1, if they did
not? They were the intruders, not l,
What delightful consolation.
Just then Noskotoska stepped out of
the bath and standing on a grating
in the middle of the floor, ordered
couple of buckets of cold water to be
thrown over him by the attendant.
The water, through which a constant
current had been maintained, was
now allowed to run Oft was but
the work of a moment. Just then the
idea struck me that the ladies, who
were conversing together in ore corr
ner ofthe room, had come to immerse
themselves. and the longer l re-
NAMED where was, the longer one
of them would have to wait. They
would rather see me out Of the bath
than nit, l began to thiuk, so out l
stepped, in a manner as sprightly as
Noskotoska. l narrowly escaped hav-
ing two buckets of cold water dashed
over me as passed the attendant and
proceeded to the drying ground, a
small but open division at the upper
extremity of the room. By this time
the water from both tanks had been
emptied, and they were being filled
again with fresh supply from the
the pipes leading into them, and, to
my additional dismay the ladies COM
menced undressing. They were di-
vested of their apparel almost as
quickly as was Noskotoska-their en-
tire habiliments descending at drop,
on the sash, ETC.. being unbound.
The ladies shortly afterwards fol-
lowed Mr.. CORVALLIS into the library.
There was no blushing on either side
1t is interesting to know, after such
sketch, that the author is six feet
