SERVANTS IN JAPAN.
They Render Excellent Service If They
Are Treated With Consideration.
Japanese servants are excellent if you
choose them with discretion and treat
them with the established consideration
of the country. There is universal So
cial compact in Japan to make life
pleasant by politeness. Everybody is
more or less well bred and hates the
man or woman who is yakamashu--
noisy, uncivil or exigent.
People who lose their temper are al
ways in hurry, bang doors, swear and
swagger, find themselves out of place
in land where the lowest cody learns
and practices an ancient courtesy from
the time when he wabbIes about as a
baby upon his mothers back. Therefore
to be treated we'll in Japan-as perhaps,
indeed, elsewhere-yo must treat every
body, including your domestics, we'll,
and then you will enjoy the most pleas
ant and willing service.
Your cook will doubtless cheat you
little, your jinrikisha man will now
and then take too much sake, the mus
mu and the boys wife will gallop all
over the place about everything you do,
and the gardener and the coachman will
fight cocks in the back yard when your
back is turned, but if conscious of your
own you can forgive the little sins of
others. You can hardly fail to become
closely attached to the quiet, soft voiced,
pleasant people, who as soon as they
have learned your ways viii take real
pleasure in making life agreeable to you.
A present now and then of a kimono
to the maids, of toys and sweetmeats to
the children, days holiday now and
then granted to the theater or the wres-
tling match are richly rewarded by such
bright faces and unmistakable warmth
of welcome on arriving and of good
speed on going as repay you tenfold
Respectful as Japanese servants are
and they never speak except on their
knees and faces-they like to be taken
into the family conversation and to sit
sometimes in friendly abandon with the
master and mistress, admiring dresses
pictures or western novelties and listen
ing sometimes TO the samisen and koto
as children of the household. Edwin
Arnold in Scribner's.
