QUEER JAPAN.

In More Queer Things about Japan"
Douglas Sladcn says: perhaps one Of
the scyerest Of etiquctteS in Japan is
that Of smiles When you have lived in
that land If smiles you will learn in
time that when you can understand Il
Japanese smile You may hope to under
stand the people. \ daughterin-l
must always present Il smiling face to
her mothcr-in-la law; the servant must
smile when his mistress dismisses him.
But the news of 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
pleasure.

weights and running long distances

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

THE DANCE IN SPAIN.
II Is nm Essential Part of the Life of
the People.

II Is nm Essential Part of the Life of
the People.
Dancing is n universal instinct with
Spanish women. The great annual ferla
at Seville is largely an orgy of dancing.
AS evening approaches everywhere one
begins to hear the sound of castanets
and to see the gracious movements of
the seguidlla. the universal Andalu-
sian dance.
But the fundamental instincts of the
Spanard for dancing and the serious
and profound way i'll which 1t express
es the temperament of the people are
perhaps shown by nothing else SO
much as by the existence of religious
dancing In Spain. At the time Of St
Thomas Of Vilaneuya. bishop of Va
lencia, 1t was customary to dance be
fore the sacred elements in the church
es of Seville. Toledo, Jerez and Nalen
ella. Religious dancing continued to be
common in Catalonia and in Rousslll0n
(thc most Spanish of the French prov
inces) up To the seventeenth century.
But real and unique survival of re
ligious dancing is the dance of the
seises in Seville cathedral. when the
chorlsters, wearing the same costume
as they We're 100 years ago, perform II
dance TO the accompaniment of casta-
nets In the space between the high al
tar and the choir.
Dancing is something more than an
amusement In Spain. 1t is part of that
solemn ritual which enters into the
whole life of the pcope.-Twentieth
