A BANQUET IN JAPAN.
Talking and Amusements Are More
Important Than the Eating.

Dining is not in Japan serious busi-
ness. The Japanese do not meet to eat
but eat because they have met, and
conversation and amusements form the
principal part Of a banquet Converse.
ton need not be held only with your
neighbors, for if man wishes to speak
to friend in another part Of the roon
he quietly slips the paper panel behind
him, passes into the veranda, enters
the room again and sits down on the
floor before his friend. Exchanging
cups is the chief ceremony at Japa-
nese dinner. Sake, a spirit made from
rice resembling dry sherry, is drunk
hot out of tiny lacquer and gold cups
throughout dinner, and the MUSINGS,
who sit on their heels in the open space
of the floor, patiently watch for every
opportunity to fill your cup with sake.
When a gentleman would exchange
cups, which is equivalent to drinking
your health, he sits down in front of
you and begs the honor. You empty
your cup into bowl Of water, have it
filled with sake, drink, wash it again
and hand it to your friend. He raises it
to his forehead, bows, has it filed and
drinks. AS this ceremony has to be
gone through a great many times
drinking is often a mere pretense. Eat
ing is, however, but small part Of the
entertainment. We must be amused,
and to amuse is the business Of the
geishas, the licensed singing and dane
ing girls who are attached to every tea
house.
But the singers at a japanese dinner
only take the part Of the chorus in a
Greek play, and they sing the story
which dancing girls represent or sug-
gest by a series Of gestures or pos
lures. The dancers are splendidly
dressed, and their movements are 50
interesting, SO unlike anything seen in
Europe, that we watch them with Q
curious sense Of pleasure.

The Family Marketing.

A clever woman who has reduced her
housekeeping to a science and magni,
fed it into an art comes out strongly
against allowing the man Of the family
to do the daily catering. "Women
should always do the family market
ing" she says. They are less eXtrava-
giant than men. a man hates to be
thought stingy, while woman doesn't
care. If a man sees handsome joint,
he orders it without rejecting that it
is too large, perhaps, for his family
and that after the first Gay it will drag
out a painful existence through vari-
Gus hashes and stews or else be thro WI
away. Then, again, if man orders the
dinner he knows just what he is going
to have, and there is no room for those
pleasant little surprises that are one Of
the wife's delights"

Talking Through the Body.

To talk through human body, or a
row of human bodies, for the matter Of
that, Is one of the weirdest Of the cleo
trician's feats. If telephone wire be
severed and the two ends be held by a
person. one in each hand, but far
apart, it is quite possible for two indi-
viduals to carry on conversation
through the body of the medium as
readily and as distinctly as if the line
had been properly connected.
