I do not know of anything simpler and more delightful than housekeeping
 n Japan--if you live Ia Japonaise. myself determined to try it, and having found a suitable spot to settle in, on the highest hill in Tollio, I proceeded to engage a native servant, who was also to be my adviser as to how to furnish my establishment in strictly Japanese fashion. The furnishing was compile ted in less than ten minutes and here are some of the principal items of which 1t consisted; Two foutangs or thin mattresses, between which one lies at night, and makura, a wooden pll-
 low, or rather an instrument of torture
 or the first few nights, furnished my bedroom; a hibachi or brass brazier, with chop-sticks to stir the fire with, and water-kettle, made the hall cozy; and little lacquer table, foot square and about six inches high, with a cou- pie of tiny little plates and bowl, made the dining room quite complete, and replete with every comfort. Two silk cushions were placed in the sitting room for distinguished guests to sit on.
 "Ah," said to my servant; "but do you not think that l shall need some thing ?"--as, to my European mind, what had purchased seemed somewhat insufficient to furnish a twelve-roomed house.
 "No sir" said he. in his broken Eng fish; real Japan gentleman has no fur niture" Upon which I began to feel rather sorry to have emulated the "Ja- pan gentleman" Still I thought would go on for the fun of the thing, and though I must confess as I went round my new abode my rooms did not look over-furnished, I decided to make the best of what I had got. It Is as- tonishing with how little one can do if one tries, and how much better penury is than profusion. When couple of days had elapsed, almost began to feel that I had furnished my house too richly! I could certainly have done with a deal less.-The Fortnightly Re view.
