The Malays and other Polynesians ga
lutte by smelling. This is performed by
rubbing noses: A former resident Of New
Zealand says that on meeting after an ab-
sence Of some time two Maories seize
hands and rub noses violently, ct tho
same time loudly weeping, presumably
from the pleasure OF seeing each other, or
perhaps from the pain Of friction. In In.
dis the Bnddhists salute by lowering the
palm OF the right hapd and bringing Il up
toward the fe6e, ct the same time saying:
Ram, ram CHAIR" The MahometAns do
is only done In either case by members Of
the same faith. The salutation q alwsys
made, too, with the right hand. to use the
left being considered an insult,
Tho Chinese have Q regular code of
salutations, eight in number, which do
fine the proper amount Of respect to b
paid to different individuals. The one
which is perhaps most familiar to San
Ffanciscans is that when at tho new year
the Chinaman clasps his hands together,
and, gently bowling wishes his friend the
compliments Of the season. Two curious
greetings which these people have among
themselves are those Of asking each other:
Have you eaten ricef" and els your
stomach in good order9" The Japanese
show respect on meeting by bending the
knee. though in the street they only make

salute. "

charge: His fears might perhaps be in.
creased when this horseman, when almost
close. to his opparent victim, suddenly
refined up and discharged u pistol over his
head. Recovering from his establishment,
however, he would find that this is
the Moorish way Of welcoming Q
stranger. Natives Of the Gold Coast
have still another mode of s~alutation.

The military salute required in nearly
All civilized countries is nearly the same.
Perhaps in Germany, however, the reQu.
lations are somewhat more stringent. A
soldier, on meeting the emperor, has to
stand still, face about. and remain with
hand raised for from twelve to twenty
PAGES before his majesty approaches to
In Belgium an officer has to do the
same for the king, and subalterns for
generals. though ten PAGES only are Ne.
quired for the latter case. Soldiers car
rying anything, so that their hands are
occupied, salute with their eyes-that is.
they turn their heads in the direction Of
the person coming and going. French
officers raise their. caps to each other, but
the Privates do as the privates in other
armies do.-London Globe.
