Chinese Salutations.

The salutation between two Cinnamon
when they meet, consists in each clasping
aud shaking his own hands, instead Of
each others, and bowing very profoundly,
almost to the ground, several times. A
question more common than "How do you
do!" is, "Have you eaten rice?" This
being the great article of food throughout
the empire, and forming the chief and in-
dispensable part Of every meai, it is ia
ken for granted that if you have "eaten
rice" you are well. Etiquette requires
that in conversation each should ccmpli.
ment the other and everything belonging
TO him, in the mos. lauda.ory style; and
deprecate himself with all pertaining to
him, to the lowest possible point. The
following is no exsggeraiion, though not
the precise words:
"What is your honorable name?"
"My insignifcan, appella,iou isWrong."
"Where is your magnificent palace p
"My contemplate hut is at Suchau."
"How many are your illustriOus child
ren"'
any vile, worthless bra's are FIVE"
Chow is the health Of your distinguish
ed spouse!"
