POLICE RULES IN JAPAN.
Elaborate Courtesy to De Observed
In the Treatment OF All
Foreigners.

a pronunciamento recently issued
by Ikigami Shire, chief police in
spector in Kioga Sen, Japan, is a
unique document. The oriental Off
cial is evidently bent on bearing OF.
the idea that the people of his coun-
try are the most polite in the world.
The order conveyed instructions in
regard to the treatment Of foreign
ers, and is as follows:
l. 1t is the principle of internation-
al intercourse to treat visitors from
far-off lands kindly and politely, and
it is also the common spirit of civil
lied nations to live in harmony Of
feeling toward each other. Many for
eign residents understand the Japan
ese language, and it is better to try to
first address them in polite japanese.
Never us- any unpleasant words or
criticise the foreigners movements,
clothing or his business. Try to pre-
vent any unpleasantness toward for
eigners while they are shopping by
allowing crowd of bystanders
around them.
2 Foreigners treat dogs better than
we can think of, and diligent search
should be made and good protection
given when notice Of a missing dog
is given. When a house dog barks at
you you should tell the servant of the
house to paeify it. Don't treat it
roughly.
3. When you call on a foreigner
you should not go in the early morn
ing, at meal hours or late at night, /
if you can help it. The best hours for
calls are from nine a. m. to noon, and /
two p. m. to six p. m. You should
pay good attention to your clothing
prior TO your call and should be care
ful not to commit any blunders dur
ing your call Ion should ask for ad-
mittance by pushing a call bell or
striking a gong placed before the door
for the purpose. II there is no bell.

but never call out for admittance.
4. If the usher appears at the door
you should ask him II the foreigner
YOU want to see is in and deliver vour
card to be conveyed to him. Before
Fou enter the house you should clean
your boots on the shoemats placed At
he entrance.
5. Greetings to foreigners arc con
eyed by a simple bow. Don't shake
