The Mongolian and Caucasian.

The differences between the Chinese and the
Caucasian race are so great that assimilation
between the two can never take place. The
following are few of the contrasts i'll customs
and character: We uncover the head rs a mark
of respect; Cinnamon take off their shoes. We
shake hands; Cinnamon stand facing each 9th
er. and each shakes his own hand. We begin
dinner with soup and close with desert; they
begin with sweetmeats and close with soup.
With US the right hand is the place of honor;
with them the left. We mount horse from
the left side; they from the right We say
whoa when we want the horse to stop, they
say the same to make him start.
We launch ships bow towards the water;
they launch sideways. We strike bells on the
insidc they on the outside. We turn screw
to the right their screws turn to the left. We
say ''northeast" and ''southwest;" they say
eastnorth and westsouth. We use a soft pillow
for our heads; they use wooden blocks. We
usually sleep on the side of the body; they lie
OH their backs. We cut our finger nails; they
leave theirs to grow. We blacken our shoes;
they whiten theirs. Our boys fly kites and play
marbles; but in China old men monopolizc
these amusements, besides playing at shuttle
cock with their feet while we play the game
with our hands and bat We use horses to
draw boats on canals; they use men. We Use

line; they get most of theirs by training
morants to dive for them.
