Japanese folk, says traveller in that
country, have six or eight pockets cum
ingly inserted in the cuffs of their
wide sleeves. These pockets are always
filed with lot of things that would
surprise anyone who took dip in one
of them. Among the things they carry
are the prayers which the priests com
pose, and which are written out on lit
tie squares of rice paper. They carry
plenty of these pocket prayers, for they
use them like medicine; if they feel
distressed in mind or body they whip
out prayer and swallow it, paper and
all, confident that they will feel better
at once Their handkerchiefs are Of
paper, too, small squares again of a
