japanese Eat Ice

The japanese are probably the only
civilized people in the world who eat
ice in the way they do. Blocks of small
cakes of ice smashed into tiny pebbly
pieces are eaten with sugar. and lemon
or any other mixture one may fancy.
But by far the commonest way of eat
ing ice is to shave it into snowy flakes
by means Of a plane and swallow it
with sweetened water into which va
rious appetizers may be thrown, such
as fruit juice or sweetmeats. Ice
cream, milk and eggs shaken with ice,
and other kinds of cooling beverages
are sold in an ever-increasing guam
tity, but the old style of eating ice
that is, in the above described "kori-
midzu" fashions still in the great
est vogue. Every summer finds the
number Of kori shops swelling at an
enormous ratio.-Japan Advertiser
