HOW TO KEEP cool AT NIGHT

THE SERVANT QUESTION IN THE ORIENT
Naturally one punkah wallah is not sufficient
20 keep the punkah going uninterruptedly
throughout the twenty four hours Relays are
required. and this brings one down L. the ques-
ton Of the multiplicity of servants, which is one
Of the drawbacks Of life IN the Orient Where
three or four servants would suffice On tho
United States or IL Europe a couple of dozen
are deemed Indispensable throughout the East
there being practically one for each different
phase Of household work. Thus. for instance.
the man who is employed TO trim light and.
clean the lamps would sooner forfeit ms place
than lend a hand 10 any other kind Of work.
while in the same way any Of the numerous al
tendants at table would consider it a breach Of
caste to brush a speck OF dust off the clothes
oe his master or Of any Of the latters guests.
The trouble with these domestics is that no mat

Another feature Of life in the Orient is the
midday siesta. The sun is at its fercest during
the early part Of the afternoon. The result is
that all the work there is to be done is
accomplished between o'clock in the morning
and tffin time. which may be described as the
office hours Of the Orient After tifin every
body goes to sleep. business Of every kind be

IN church when they are attending divine wor-

are travelling. Many mechanical devices have
been attempted to furnish a motive power other
than human 10 these punkahs But none Of
them have succeeded. For there is a knack

styled. which no machine can ever hope 10

DINNER N THE FAR EAST.
After the sesta comes the sponge bath. and
then either driving riding visiting polo play

by means Of which the white folk endeavor 10
while away the ennui Of Asiatic life, and 70
keep their bodies in sound condition. Dinner
follows in the cool Of the evening rice and
curry figuring again the table as at t.ffin.
Soup is frequently served after the roast and
FISH instead OF at the beginning OF the dinner.
ard ! can recommend the practice For soup
al the beginning of the meal destroys the point
Of the appetite and swanps the stomach. where
as il some highly seasoned and piquant soup IS
taken after the roast. il stimulates and revives
the appetite. and, moreover assists the ciGes-

had been with the family for ten and fifteen
years who led the onslaught on their employers.
and who were the first TO point out to the plum
derers the hiding places in which the family
valuables had been concealed.
Another drawback Of those Oriental servants
is one % a physical character They are one
and al saturated with a smell the reverse ~
sweet. which seems 20 contaminate and to give
a taste and odor 10 everything they touch
This IL especially the case with the Chinese

it is hardly surprising hat the perfume Of their

There is another defect Of these Oriental ser
