kind of caste feeling similar to that pre-
vailing among the Hindoos 1t takes
the form of a fear Of contamination

cannot afford to keep servants in sufli-

always wash their hands at a tap from
which the water runs into a marble
basin. They will turn on the tap when
/ they are just going to wash, but when
they have finished they let the water
run tin somebody shuts it of, as to do
il themselves would make them un-
clean They cannot open or shut a

who had just received a present Of 8
beautiful doll from Paris. The chile
presently laid the doll on the lady's

child to take it away As the little cir
would not move it. and no servant was

In the Century, under the title Of

the japanese. the white crowns OF
their caps make so many bull's-eyes
as the little fellows bend to the

so cleanly that, unlike the Russians
they never allow their white to be
soiled and become natural khaki.

every man except the fusileer was a
