The Toilet Of a Mandarin.

A recent book on China contains the
following account Of a mandarin's
toilet: "A Chinaman always sleeps
with his clothes on-that is, he re-
moves the outer garments and, having
undone the waistband. anklets, collar
and so on, retires to rest in his linen.
The first thing on getting up is to
clean his teeth. which is usually a long
and noisy operation. In order to do
this he takes a large mug, a silver
tongue scraper. brush and often a bit
of willow twig and goes out into the
courtyard to complete this part of his
toilet One of the landmarks has al
ready filed the copper basin with
warm water and brought the rag
often and often have I enjoyed the
luxury of the hotel rag at Chinese
inns. This rag is a purely Chinese
Institution and consists of an old dish
cloth dipped in boiling water. The
mandarin rubs his head. face, neck
and hands with the family rag. ties
his drawers at the ankles, bitches him
sell up generally. puts on q pair OF
silk leggiugs and a long robe and his
undress toilet is complete"

"A large bottle of carbolic acid had

feared to carry it farther, as the burn

everything they touched. We dared not

must appear, we had to deposit the

smashed"
