Chinese CnsIoms at TABLE.

The Chinese consider the stomach
the source of intellectual life, and,
therefore, the latest man goes for the
wisest one. They effect to believe that
foreigners come TO China to eat be-
cause they have not enough to cat at
home. II is considered mark of re-
fined politeness to treat guest or a
visitor to meal at any time of the
day.
Only those Cinnamon who have
families take their meals at home; the
rest eat at hotels. They usually have
two substantial meals a day-one an
hour after getting up in the morning,
the other between and 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. The well-to-dO class
take three or four meals day. Often
the father alone eats meat, while
the rest of the family have to be
satisfied with rice. Poor families us
ually get their meals from street ven
ders. The well-to.do ones employ
cooks, the latter getting their degrees
and diplomas like men of science.
The Celestials use no tablecloths,
napkins, knives, forks, spoons, dishes,
plates or glassware. Instead of nap.
kins they use packages of thin, soft
paper, which also serves them for
handkerch efs. After using, they
throw them away. Each guest has =
saucer, pair of sticks, package of
paper and minute cup, with salt
saucer. The Chinese women never
dine with the men. Everybody smokes
