A Japanese hotel is one of the noisiest places

A japanese hotel is one of the noisiest places
outside of Bedlam. The walls are of paper,
and you can hear all the talk of your next
room neighbor. Many of these walls are
pushed back at times, and as you pass through
the corridors you see the various occupations of
the guests. The sleeping, dressing and eating
goes on before your eyes. The guests eat in
their own rooms, and their food is served to
them on little tables about foot high. Each
man has his own table, and in the cases of fam
lilies each member squats on his heels or knees
before one Of these little tables which is not
over two feet square New chOp-sticks are
furnished to every guest. They come wrapped
up in paper, and with these the guest can eat
every thing from rice to fish. 1t is wonderful
how well they separate the bones from the fish
with them, and how they Pre- able to pick up
beans and peas between two sticks and eat
them The food is brought in in little bowls
and there are no plates, knives, forks or spoons.
The rice comes last, and this is brought to the
room in a wooden box hOOped with brass aud
looking very much like an American sugar
box. The japanese eat very fast, and man
is considered lazy if he eats slowly. 1t is rather
a compliment than otherwise to make a noise
in eating, and the smacking of the lips shows
your host that you appreciate his food. If you
grunt aud regurgitate it will not be out of the
way and when you close your dinner with
rice you will do we'll if you will pour your rice
bowl half-full of tea and mix this with the
rice. As you get near the bottom it will be the
approved Japanese fashion to lift the rice-bowl
to your lips aud shovel the contents in with
your ehopstcks. You may eat as much rice as
you please, and you will be expected at the
close of meal to carefully wrap up the dain-
ties remaining and to drop them into the long
pocket of the sleeves of your gown. You will
find no sign in these Japanese hotels indicating
that food taken from the table will be charged
extra for" and if you are dining with Japan
ese you will probably have from two to six
geishas to keep you company.

/ visited at Nagoya one of the largest feudal
castles of Japan. 1t was built nearly 300 years
ago to serve as the residence of the son of a
noted Shotgun, aud tits kept in about the same
condition as it was then. The water, however
has run out of the meats, and the grass grows
green on its battlements. Passing through
several moats with walls which rise 40 feet
above you, through great iron plated doors with
massive hinges, you come to the interior gar
den Of the castle, now filed with the barracks
of soldiers. On the corner of each wall there
is a fve-storied tower, built in the shape of a
Chinese pagOda, and on the top of the castle
proper stand a pair of golden dolphins, each
of which is nearly nine feet high, and each
of which is worth about 100000. These are
of solid gold and they shine under the blaze
of this Asatic sun. One of them was taken
to the Exhibition at Vienna and on its
way back was wrecked aud lost in the
sea. 1t was finally recovered and again
brought here, and it now stands on its nose in
its old place on the top of the CASTLE | have
visited the feudal castles of the Rhine and the
Danube, which belong to an era not much fur
ther back than this, and this Japanese castle
will compare very favorably with them for
comfort Its woodwork is better made, and
the masonry is far superior to that of the Rhine
castles. During the Middle Ages, I judge that
the Japanese had advanced in many things far
beyond the civilizations of the Nations of
Christendom, and the lodgng-rooms of the
palace connected with the castle contained
carvings which would have done honor to the
noted artists of Europe. Many of them were
by the noted left-handed artist, Jingoro, who
was born in 1894, and who made representa-
! tions of birds and animals so accurately that,
| according to the japanese, they actually moved
and walked. He was simple carpenter, but
became early noted for his artistic carving, and
there is carved cat of his in the great temple
at Nikko which almost purs as you look at
