Dr. FOXwOrthy was asked which of the
numerous Japanese customs appealed to
him as being the most unique.

the bones of their dead ancestors and pa

their dead relatives an outing, and 1t Is

held. While il is going all kinds of
jovial times are had, and the streets are
thronged with people OF course, all OF
the decorations were in gaudy cOlors and

THE TRAVELLERS LUNCH.
I'm travelling they seldom serve lunch,
or tiffin. as it is called At each of the
railway stations boys appear when the
train stops. and they have lunch boxes
for sale which cost or s cents apiece.
These boxes made of white pine and
contain about three-fourths rice and one
fourth dried fish and very sweet paste
which an American cannot eat. There is one
redeemfng thing about the Japanese cook
ing. which is that it is exceptionally Clean
as is everything else in that country"
The cleanliness of the Japanese is con-
splcuouS in every respect, is it not he

day the whole family takes a bath-the
Oldest member of the family bathing first
and the rest following according to their
ages. They all battle in the same water
so il is little rough on the baby.
The Japanese, though. impress every
body alike who has ever visited them in
their own country. Commercialism is their
god, and their whole purpose is to get on
in this line. They initiate very closely in
everything. Their greatest fault is that
not given the status they deserve. They
are invariably kept in the background and
the women of the lower classes are COM

Nagasaki all the ships are coaled by hand,
and the laborers who do this women.
In the hotels the 'bellhoppers' are all girls,
and because women are so numerous il is
often necessary for them to perform work
that is ordinarily done by men: In the
field the greater part OF the work is done
by the women. and Ii Is a common. sight
to see one OF them yoked up with horse
hauling quite large burdens
1T must also be said of the Japs that
they are great readers of newspapers, and
as an instance illustrative of this in Osaka
there two daily newspapers each or
which has a circulation of 10000. In the
larger cities, of course. the circulations are
in proportion. The newspapers there are
conducted very much as they are in this
country. and the better ones have their
daily cartoons.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The house de-

SCHOOL LIFE IN THE EAST.
Children of the Orient End 1t Some
thing More Than a Holiday Season.

The beginning of school days is
critical period in the life of a boy or
girl in oriental countries. In the first
place, the priest CT astrologer must be
consulted to choose a lucky day. Every
precaution must be taken to avert the
jealousy of the gods, whose malice is
especially directed against a fine boy.
The Chinese father, who adores his
son, will take the utmost pains to con-
vince the powers of the air that the
boy is of no account. The child may
be given a despicable name, like flea,
or Chu-tze, a pig, or more insulting
still, he may be given a girls name.
The boy may be started off to school
wearing a girls dress and enc earring
and if the deception is complete this
will be the most effectual of all. for
even the gods do not care for girls in
China.
The Japanese schoclboy wears hang
ing from his belt little red bag. con-
tanning brass tag, with his name and
his parents name and address upon it.
He must have his paper umbrella and
his fan, and, in a gay bag upon his
arm, is jar of rice for his luncheon.
This quaint little fellow has probably
made his Offering at his own private
shrine to Tenjinsen, the god of pen
manship.
When the Hindoo boy has found an
suspicious day to begin school he is
taken to the god of learning, Saras1
vati. Here the little supplicant pre-
sents his offerings of rice and
nuts and repeats the letters of b
phabet after the priest Thus is
tered into the ways of knowI
the very presence of the god.

more convincing than a statement like
Mr.. Barber's. There are thousands of
