Efficiency of Japanese Servants.

Japanese servants are moro and
more in demand every year in New
York City, as their efficiency has been
proved and they are looked upon as
more capable than any other kind of
domestic help. There is one serious
objection to them which cannot al
ways be overcome. They lavish their
politcnoss and courtesy on the mascu-
line members of the household in
which they are employed and cannot
be induced to treat the women with
respect. One gentleman who had a
Japanese butler said the other day
that he was compelled to part with
him solely because he conld not in
duce him to say good morning to his
vile. "He was always obsequiously
polite to me-" said his former en-
ployer, 'and greater respect could
not have been demanded, but it was
impossible to make him realize that it
was his duty to treat the women of
my household in the same way. ex-
postulated with him on this ground
aud told him that IN this country it
was more important to be polite to
women than to men. That made no
impression, and after he had repeat
edly refused to give my wife any more
than q sullen nod after greeting me
eifusively, ] was compelled to part
with him. His explanation when he
left was ingenious. He told me he
was very sorry he could not get along
and added that it would be very diff
ficult matter for mo ever to find but
Ter any more polite to the WON en-, as
the training of lifetime was not to
be overcome is few years, and all
Japanese would probably act just as
he had done when the time came to
say good morning TO the mistress of
the house. New York Sun.
