''One day while travelling in a rail-
way carriage" said a gentleman,
speaking of his recent japanese trip,
1--WE had just pulled out our cigars to
commence smoking when the door
opened, and a Jap and his wife came
in. We forgot for the time being
our smoke and were lost in the con-
temptation of the queer couple. The
woman was carrying on her back a
baby, which was strapped on in a pc
culiar fashion. The poor little thing
had fallen asleep, and its head bob
bed from side to side with the mo-
ton of the car We found out after
ward that the women We're taught to
carry children upon their backs from
babyhood up. We saw infants not
more than month old with dolls
strapped to their backs to educate
them to the method of carrying.
Then, when they got older, their
younger brothers and sisters We're
strapped upon them 10 strengthen
their backs for their duty in life.
Il found that the Japanese women
considered the carrying of an infant
no inconvenience. as the education
which they go through fits them for
it just as much as walking Well,
having exhausted the peculiarities of
our fellow travele ;, our thoughts
turned 10 our cigp 5, which we held
In our hanGs. W. We're in predic-

the country. We did not know
whether smoking in lady's presence
was considered Lad form or not. The
more we thought about it the more
we wanted to smoke. For 50 miles
We rode in misery, when finally the
woman herself put Us at ease by
drawing small pipe from her clothes
and filling 1t with tobacco, lighting it
and beginning to smoke. You should
have seen how eagerly we grasped
our cigars and lit them.
The Japs smoke in a peculiar man
ner. The pipes have very small metal
bowls, with bamboo stems and metal
mouthpleces, ana only hold enough
tobacco for three or four whitis.
They Use a tobacco which l. cut ex-
tremely fine and looks more like
light blond hair than anything else.
IL Is of a very good quality. however.
The Japs take a Whit Of smoke and
inhale 1t, letting IL pass out through
the nostTils. They rarely smoke
more than one plpeful at Il time, but
If they do smoke a second they dump
the little ball Of ashes out of their
pipe, which they refill, then light it
with the ashes taken from the bowl.
This small pipeful seems Just as SAT
