Chinese Customs.

The Chinese, geographically our
antipodes, are as opposite to us in
manners and customs,
Our night is their day. Our morn
ing color is black, theirs is white.
Their boats are drawn by men, their
carriages are moved by means OF
sails.
Old men fly kites, while little boys
look on; with them the seats. OF honor
is at the left hand, and to keep ones
hat on is a sign Of respect. We drink
tea hot and wine cold; they drink wine
hot and tea cold.
the family name comes first in
stead oflast; thus. John Smith would
be Smith John. The needle of their
compass points to the south, ours to
the north. They say "westnorth" in.
stead OF northwest" s.eastsouth" in
stead OF southeast" Their soldiers
wear quilted pet+icoats, satin boots
and bead necklaces, carry umbrellas
and fans, and GO to a night attack
with lanterns, being more afraid of
the dark than OF the enemy.
They mount their horses on the
right side. The children in school sit
with their backs to the teacher and
study their lessons aloud.
A married woman when young and
pretty is a slave; when she is old and
withered she is the most respected
and beloved member OF the family.
Their most valued piece OF furniture
is a handsome camphor-wood coffin,
which they keep in the best room.
They are very fond OF fireworks, but
always display them in the daytime.
If you offend a Chinaman, instead of
killing you he will kill himself on your
doorstep.
