their right hands that a stock of right

SHOPS IN JAPAN.
The Floors Are the Counters and
sduattinE Places of Buyers.

The Floors Are the Counters and
sauatting Places of Buyers.
TO start a Japanese shop is the sim
plest thing In the world. You take the
front OFF your house and arrange your
worldly possessions on the floor.
japanese floors are raised off the
street, though nothing is raised OF
them. The transient customer sits or
the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A
real shopper who means TO do the
thing properly climbs up on the floor,
which is also the counter, and squats
OH his heels.
Real Japanese shops have no doors
or windows or counters. Shop windows
in England do not leave much wall in
the frontage but even an English shop
window does not take the whole from
Of the house.
The Japanese have not many regular
shops. There are very few streets or
shops even in Tokyo. which is as large
as Berlin. Foreigners never buy any
thing but curios If they are fools,
they deal with shops kept by Euro
peans; If they want bargains, they deal
with Cinnamon.
There are many Chinese shops in
treaty ports. The Chinaman is cheaper
and more reliable than the Japanese.
European shopkeepers do not set up IL
Japan for philanthropic reasons. Jap
anese shoplleepers are the lowest class
of population except the outcasts.
Servants and laborers take precedence
of them in society, and precedence Is
the hobby of the Japanese.

ferent salutation for. a man who is be
