AFRAID OF WATER.

Cleanliness Is Next to Goodness.

Chinamen Evidently Do Not Believe That
cleanliness Is Next to Goodness.
Inc Chinese, themselves, have none
OF the fastidious cleanliness about them
OF the people of Japan. They are salts
ned with baths during the summer, and
their winter additions are confined to
the rubbing off of the face and neck
with flannel rag dipped in warm water.
Ihey sleep at night in the same clothes
which they have used during the day
time, and the water they drink is be-
touled with the sewerage. 1t is Won
der that the whole of the Chinese cap
ital Is not periodically cleaned out by
typhoid fever. Such drains as there are
are usually open, and the Stops of the
household are often sprinkled over the
streets in front of the home in order to
lay the dust. This makes the dust of
Peklng the vilest dust that can be con-
celved, and it fills the air in the sum-
mer with foulness. The town has no
water-works, and clean water is sold at
the rate of about a quarter of cent a
bucket.
Coming from Japan, as did, was
forcibly struck by this attribute of the
Chinese. The Japanese are, without
doubt, the cleanest people of the world.
They battle all over two or three times
aday, and their baths are always taken
in the hottest of hot water. They wash
their teeth and rinse out their mouths
! after every meal, and both their houses
Agd thir person are as clean as Dutch
foOsSoiaE, Sunday morning. The Chinese
pay littA attention to keeping their
homes Glen, and you will find the best
OF mansions greasy and dirty. If one
could get Inside the palace itself doubt
not that he w,uld have to pick his way
in going through the streets going to
the various buildings, and in the houses
of the common PEOPLE you will find dirt
in every corne. of the room, and at
meals the floor about the table will
be covered with scraps of food and
grease-spots. Thu Japanese clothing is
as clean as the skins of the people who
wear it. That of the Chinese is just the
reverse. You will zee costly silk gowns
in the most delicate colors of blue and
light yellows with great long grease
spots running from the nape of the neck
half way down the back, which have
been made by oily cues resting against
them. When l called on Hi Hung
Chang I noticed that the collar of his
silk gown was greasy, and his long silk
sleeves looked like those of butcher
1t was the same with other Chinese
mandarins whom l saw, and the common
people were even worse than the man

Tribune.
