Next to being able to understand n yawn,
the most important social accomplishment
is to be able to stifle one. This Can be done
only after long practice. Where this art
has not been attained the best thing to do
is not to apologize. Such an explain alton
is an insult to the intelligence OF the person
spoken to. A real, soul-felt yawn must be
lived down, it cannot be explained away.

The Koreans are by no means particuIar
as to the manner in which their fish and
meats are served. The entrails are sold and
eaten, as well as the rest OF the meat and a
common dish at big dinner is a chicken,
baked feathers, entraiis and all served
whole upon the table
The Korean Is the greatest eater iu the
world, and more than any other man

man the country over eats everything

Egyptians and the Greeks were simple fiat

at the side a little projection with hole
