only done in either case by members of the same faith. The salutstion is always made too with the right hand, to use the left being considered an insult.
 The Chinese have a regular code of saluta- tions, eight in number, which defns the proper amount of respect to be Peid 10 oi1- ferent individuals. The one which Is per haps most familiar to San Franciscans IS that when at the new year the Cnlnaman clasps his hands together and, gently DOW ing, wishes his friend the compliments of the season. Two curious greetings which these people have among themselves are enose oi asking each other, stHavs you eaten riceT and 'ls your stomach in good orderF Ine Japanese show respect on meeting 6y peno- ing the knee, though in the street they only make feint of so doing. This is the gene ral salute.
 A stranger coming among the Moors for the first time would perhaps be astonished
 and little frightened by seeing one of them riding at full gallop toward him, as II ne 1n- tended to execute 8 cavalry charge. 9!s fears might perhaps be increased when tnls horseman, when almost close to his apparent
 victim, suddenly refined up and discharged g
 pistol over his head. Recovering from his
 astsnishment, however, he would ind that
 this is the Moorish way of welcoming
 stranger. Natives of the gold coast nave still another mode of salutation. They loWe CT their robe from the left shoulder with the h0ASeA anu kENSsAAA1y oSu ia great man they salute, and if they wish
 to be particularly respectful the whole robe is removed, exposing the breast. Egyptians
 greet one another with remark peculiar to
 their country: "How goes the perspirs- tion!n
 The military salute required in nearly all civilized countries is nearly the same. Per
 haps in Germany, however. the regulations 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 paees before his majesty approaches to the same distance after he has passed. In Belgium the officer has to do the same for the king and subalterns for gene
 rals, though ten paces only are required tor the latter case. Soldiers carrying anything 30 that their hands are occupied salute with their eyes-that is they turn their heads in the direction of the person coming and go- ing. French officers raise their caps to each other, but the privates do as the privates in other armies do.

D1FrRRENr ADAPTATIONS.

HoW People of Various NasioRaAities
 Greet Each other When They Meet.
 In walking down busy thoroughfare an observer cannot help remarking the differ ent manners in which the various travellers, pedestrians or otherwise, greet one another, says the the London Globe. gentleman approaching q lady watches her closely to see whether she will bow to him. If 50, of goes his hat. Hardly two men, however, do this simple act in the same way. One fourishes it at arms length, another hardly raises it from his head: third exposes the side as if he were asking charity; while . fourth seems frightened lest by some misohance he should disarrange his hair. The fair lady, too, does not always return the salute in the same way. Cross the channel, however, and one is in land where hat-lfting is the recognized ealutation. It appears at first curious to @ native of American or English soil to see Q not too clean coal-heaver or peddler solemn ly raise his head covering-it does not always amount to as much az hat--to an equally dirty brother workman, with an air many dudes might envy; but in time one fails to notice such things. On entering and leaving Q shop, no matter how small, the polite man again uncoYers his head, while each of these actions is always accompanied by an appro- priate word of greeting.
 
 meeting a stranger offer him, as salutation, a portion of the bread they always carry with them. Of course, it is refused with thanks and great would be the astonishment of the wouid-be donor if it were accepted. In Ger many-in fact, pretty we'll all over the con- tinent--to pass man or woman on country road without saying friendly greeting is looked upon as very impolite, and the person doing so would certainly be regardeded as stranger. Among the French and Belgians, especially, the habit of men embracing one another is quite common, father and son or two intimate friends thinking nothing of fall ing into each others arms and kissing in pub lie. Cold-tempered nations consider such efusions unnecessary and believed there is inst ss much feeling in the warm grip of the hand and few words of welcome.

A former resident of New Zealand eays that on meeting after an absence of some time two Maori's seize hands and rub noses violently, at the same time londly weeping, presumably from the pleasure of seeing each other, or perhaps from the pain of friction.
