QUEER JAPAN.
a Land Where Laughter Has No Re-
lRtion to Pleasure.

- AeRMU WherS Laugnter Has NO ESe-i
lRtion to Pleasure.
In .'More Queer Things About Japan"
Douglas Sladen says: !. p rhaps one OF
the seVerest of etiquettes in Japan is
that of smiles. When you have lived in
that land OF smiles you will learn in
time that when you can understand a
Japanese smile you may hope to under
stand the people. A daughter-in law
must always present a smiling face to
her mother-in-law; the servant must
smile when his mistress dismisses him
But the news Of a death must be told
with laughter. Laughter is reserved
for very special occasions and has no
relation to JOY. Smiles are used on
every occasion to conceal real feelings.
They are not always significant Of
I pleasure. 8|s
No wants has the Japanese the
same writer continues. He can live
+ in his clothes without tent, he can
live on rice or offal of the sea, and he
is SO accustomed to carrying heavy
weights and running long distances
that he can be his own commissariat
and even his own horse"
If the japanese are somewhat lax
I as regards their religion, they are at
any rate believers in cleanliness. The
writer says: Personal cleanliness is a
virtue which all ] Japanese servants pos
sess. It is no unusual thing for Jap
anese servant to apologize to a mistress
for not having had time to battle more
than three times that day
