AT A JAPANESE HOTEL.
"Americans Make Too Much Effort
to Live"
From the Chicago Daily News.

From the Chicago Daily News.
While conducting a series of investiga-
lions into the industries and customs of
Japan, in the interest of the National AS
ISOLATION of Manufacturers of America,
Robert P. Porter made some interesting
discoveries about the personal expendi-
lures of japanese people as compared with
the expenditures of Americans, both at
home and abroad, says an exchange. Mr.
Porter was stopping at the Yaami hotel
in Kyoto, and was paying IS in silver coin
of Japan for his accommodations. Allow
ing for exchange, the cost was equivalent
to about 1915 per day in American money
In the japanese quarters of the same hotel
the charge was only Is sen per day, or
about 40 cents, American money.
A native of Japan, who had graduated
from Harvard College, spent three years
al Heidelberg and afterwards studied in
Paris, took Mr.. Porter to task for per
sonal extravaganza. You require so much
more TO keep you comfortable than we
do" said the japanese. Here. for exam
pie, you are paying So (silver) per day,
and 1, in the same hotel, am only paying
70 sen, or 40 cents of your money, and
am Just as comfortable and happy as you
are To be sure, you have tables and
chairs and washstands and pitchers and
a bedstead and sofa. j have nothing of
the sort. A nice clean tatami mat and
quilt is a good enough bed for me. Then
you give so much more trouble at your
meals, with your tables and chairs and
crockery, glassware, knives and forks,
spoons and mustard and pepper pots.
my meals" continued the Japanese
"are served on a tray in my room by a
pretty maid who kneels before me while L
eat and chats and makes herself interest
ing, looking after my every want at the
same time. Then you cart lot of unnec-
essary baggage around. The hotel fur
nishes me a fine silk dressing gown and
nice clean night-robe and 1 can buy a
tooth brush for sen or so. You Ameri-
cans make too much effort to live"
