HAT ETIQUETTE IN GERMANY.

The etiquette of hat raising in Ger
many is one of those things which
may betray the foreigner into unin-
territorial rudeness through sheer ig-
norance. A correspondent of the
London Chronicle knows of a German
lady who was puzzled and hurt be-
cause some Englishmen whom she
had met before did not raise their
hats to her in the street, until the ex-
PLANTATION came that she expected them
to do it of their own accord by the
German rule instead of waiting for
her to recognize them first by the
English. These differences of nation
al etiquette are great pitfalls. A con-
verse case was that of an Englishman
staying in d German town who accom-
panied his hosts wife to concert
Walking home. he gave her the inside
Of the pavement, according to English
manners; but the host who happened
to see this, was rendered painfully
suspicious by this unfamiliar attention

mix at all in politics.
When once a department has been
selected the student is rigidly bound
TO certain courses and has almost
none Of the freedom to choose his own
work that he does in American uni
versities.
In contrast to the Japanese notion
the students are generally athletic
and devoted TO the more skillful forms
OF sport. Baseball has come to be
the greatest game and football which
was formerly played, is regarded as
brutal and has fallen into disuse.
In Japan, just as in the United
States, there is a tendency to practi-
cal education, and the increase in the
departments of engineering ana agri-
culture are very rapid. And in the
imperial university OF Toxic there is a
department called the science OF
earthquakes, gunpowder making ana
Shipbuilding.

Embroidered Letters,

These are practical for the busy
housekeeper, for they can be applied
in much less time than it would take
to embroider them on the cloth. They
come in two sizes suitable for table
cloths, napkins, towels, sheets and
pillow cases. The Letter, which comes
on small square Of paper, is basted
on the right side of the material, the
paper is torn away, and then the in
itiaI is whipped on the material from
the wrong side. Unless closely ex-
amined the initials look as if they
were embroidered directly on the ar
ticle. Bith sizes are the same price
ten cents apiece and ST a dozen.
