AMONG THE JAPANESE.
Street Scenes in One of the Large Citlc

Street Scenes I'm One of the Large Cltlc1
of the Mikado's Empire.
The streets Of the great cities OF
Japan present at all hours of the day,
and especially at night, flashing
Kaleidoscope pictures. The houses,
open to the gaze of passers-by, are
hung with innumerable lamps OF every
size, form and color; and ever and
anon the daintily-fainted panels slide to
and fro, revealing charming glimpses
Of Japanese home life; a father telling
fairy stories to group of boys and
girls, a mother rocking her babe, Jap
anese ladies and gentlemen intent on
some game or puzzle, children study
ing their lessons for the morrow The
shops are full OF every variety OF
| goods; the streets filled with musicians,
dancers, jugglers, athletes, beggars
and priests; while yonder many-storied
temple with its myriad lamps and
countless bells tinkling in the night
breeze. is thrown wide open and in-
vites the passer to enter and worship.
There in the dusk and silence OF its in
most shrine are seated immense images
of the Buddha, while below, yellow
robed priests are chanting the I'M
broken service of the Buddhist liturgy.
The people stop moment to pray
and to bestow TN Offering, and then
return to the light and air of the
street. Now there come rolling by jin-
riki-shas or man-power carriages, with
happy families seated Within the chill
dren, armed with long whips, amuse
themselves by touching up the men as
II they were veritable horses, and they
trot away with their fellow-men for
burdens. Magnifcently dressed
Princes and high-born ladies are borne
past in Japanese sedans on mems
shoulders amid crowds as free, joyous
and orderly as are no other crowds in
the world, save in the great free cities
of the United States.
Hot and cold baths are held indis-
pensable in the poorest household.
The tub often stands outside near the
front door; it is huge wooden vessel
having small earthen furnace con-
nected with it, and lid covering the
whole excepting a hole just large
enough for the head of the bather &c
