neArNsss OF THE CHINESE.
Their Personal Habits Contrast With
Their Usual Surroundings.

Their Personal Habits Contrast With
Their Usual Surroundings.
Next time you are in Chinatown, no
tice the finger nails of the Inhabitants.
You will be surprised. possibly, TO
find that they are generally as clean
and brilliant as though they had just
come from the manicure.
AS are his finger nails, so is the
rest of the Chinaman body. II is one
of the queer contradictions about THIS
contradictory people that although
their houses are usually surrounded
by fringe of dirt and although they
don't take to modern sanitation bit,
they are very clearly in their per-
sonal habits
The daily bath is an institution,
bathtub is not necessary. Your emma
man manages very we'll with few
cupfuls of water and a washrag.
He completes his toilet by polishing
his long nails, and every day-or SO he
visits the barber. who shaves not only
the scanty hair on his face, but also
his head and the inside of his ears
If he can afford it the Chinaman puts
on a clean blouse every day or Two.
1t is no accident that these people are
a nation of laundrymen. 1t comes TO
them naturally.
Last summer a bunch of university
students took summer job on big
California ranch. The regular hands
had good deal of fun over their
habits of personal cleanliness.
They're regular damn Cinnamon,
said the hands Always washing
themselves"
