From the Type Metal Magazin,

from the type Metal Magazine.
When / first went to Japan"
longtime American resident of that
country is reported as saying, they
seemed to do everything the wrong
way. They sawed wood by drawing
the saw toward them. They backed
their horses into the stalls. When our
clocks were striking one theirs would
strike. eleven. Their blacksmiths
worked sitting down and when they
wanted to rest they stood up. But
gradually l learned that there was a
logical eason for each Of these SEEM
ingly queer habits.
pulling the saw prevented buc-
king When are you in a hurry
when you put your horse in the stall
or when you take him out? was the
answer of the man who was ques-
toned about the horse. AS to the
clock, it seems that the Japanese pre-
fer to know how many hours are left
in the day rather than how many have
passed. And the blacksmith who sits
down works with his feet as well as
his hands - literally, he has four
hands. and he rests all these when he
gets up
