JAPANESE DISHES

Of all oriental countries Japan offers
us most Of interest in the way Of new
and appetizing dishes suited to semi
vegetarian diet. The Japanese has
mastered the art of feasting without
meat, and from the sitting in of occi-
dental ideas and modes Of living their
fare has become so much like ours that
it needs but the smallest changes to
adapt it to American uses.
For the lower and middle classes the
staple articles Of diet are first and all
important, rice; second, fish, fresh and
dried, and, third, pickles Of all sorts and
descriptions. OF rice, each person eats
on an average a good-sized bowlful at
each meal, and this, as is we'll known,
is cooked so that each kernel looks like
snowflake.
With the poorer classes Of people tho
food is served on a broad piece Of wood
indented with pockets Of different sizes.
In these pockets is placed the rice, the
various fish dishes and pickles, from
which each person seated about, the
board takes, with his chopsticks a
mouthful of rice, picking up at the same
time tiny bit Of fish and another tiny
dab Of the chopped peppers or cucum-
bers. Pretty bowls and dishes replace
the wooden board in the better homes
while the paper napkin 50 common here
is used by them instead of linen.
The wealthy families Of Japan, like
the rich in all countries, enjoy the good
things Of all nations, while the Ameri-
can travelling in Japan can find his regu-
lar meat fare quite as deliciously pre-
pared and served as In his own country.
In cleaning special recipes from the
Japanese diet the one noticeable feature
Of all Of them is the careful and very
general use Of herbs and seasonings of
all sorts. The housewife, therefore,
who would make success Of any Of the
dishes which are described here will dc
well to lay in a supply Of the little sea.
sonings which seem SO unimportant in
the old-fashioned way Of preparing vic.
tuals, but which are the key to the deli
cato and nourishing qualities Of the
orientals diet Of vegetables.

the First National bank, chairman of the
