says: Tom Oorwin asserted one day in his
committee room that it was never safe to
interfere between husband and wife, and
in support of his declaration narrated an
instance which occurred when he was

rural district he came upon cabin from
behind which he heard the angry voice OF

woman, and at regular intervals hickory
singing through the air as if we'll laid on.
He rode round to get sight of the cause
of!all this clamor, when he saw burly

During the performance every one eats,
drinks and smokes. Criticisms are very
audibly expressed. Conversation and
"chaH" are very general, and people
enter and leave when they like. IL the
actor is not word perfect, the prompter
follows him about with his book, without
the slightest attempt at disguise. II the
stage carpenter wishes light for his pipe
he does not hesitate 10 crawl in front of
the actors and get it from the footlights.
A man killed during the play is allowed to
walk of behind the scenes. The theatres
of Yokohama, on the main street of the
Japanese town, remind one of the Bowery
in New York city. In front of each one ,ex
tending from the roof to the ground, are
wide streamers, of very CANDY appearance
with all kinds of symbols painted on
them, signifying the scenes and characters
of the play. On entering the first thing
both native and foreigner must do is to
remove his or her shoes. which are
checked and taken care of until the owner
leaves the building. Fancy one CARRYING
a narrow strip of wood, at least one foot
in length, for check Once inside, the
usher directs you to your place, and
provides mat, on which Won are ex-
pected to squat. In cold weather each
spectator is furnished with small box of
charcoal fire, with which to keep warm.
The programmes are bought and in Il
variety theatre there is always master
of ceremonies, who introduces the per-
formers, especially when difficult act is
to be performed. From the time the show
begins until the end, the orchestra m
keeps up an incessant noise with gonos
and sort of banjo. However good the
performance or difficult the feat there is
an entire absence of applause.
The gesha, or dancing girls, are On
order of society in themselves. The
Japanese dances nll consist of postnriDR,
and to an unframed eye all would look
exa1tly alike, If II were not that in some
fans are used, while in others wells. The
dances, with the exception of one, called
Ton Kino-said to have been taught them
by the old Dutch settlers--are ali strictly
proper, and such as the modest maiden
could witness without blush. The last
named dance is, however, as indecent as
