MANNERS IN JAPAN.
Telit one- a. Practised In tLe Sunrise
Land— Description of the Japanese
Bow.
From Barptr'l Bator.
Visitor* to the Sunrise Land are always
Impressed with the graceful bows and
courtly ceremonies of its people. To see
••poetry of motion” you must go Into a
Japanese bouse and be weloomod in
Japanese fashion.
One writer describes the Japanese bow
thus; “seated on the mat in the ordinary
war, the bands are brought torward to a
natural distance in front of the knee, and
placed with the palms on the floor and
w ith a space between the hands of about
one foot. Thtu with an easy rocking mo
tion toe body is carried forward until the
face almost touches ihe floor, when, alter
a slight pause, tin- bead is ara;n lif'ed to
I's natural p> sitlon.” Great care should
be tak> n not : •> raise the hips when carry
ing ihe bodv f >rward.
fake and tea are invariably offered, no
matter bow sh rt or informal the call may
l>e. Tea is served m tiny cups withou*
saucer*. When no mors Is wanted the
cup may be turned over on the little stand
or cnadai on which it is passed. Japanese
g-ie-ts usually take home some of the
sweetmeats. They carry them in their
t .eve*, for tbe sleeves of their garments
invariably pud in a capacious pocket.
A real Japan tea party is a very cere
monious affair. Ibe apartment in which
the company assembles must be arranged
expressly for the purpose. The cups, the
straloer, the tea ladle, tne kama, or hot
water kettle—everything must be of a
prescribed pattern and in a prescribed
"place. Even the shape of tbe bits of char
coal with which the water is boiled is
regulated by rtile, and toe arrangement
of the charcoal is supposed to require
great skill. The utensils used at these
eba-no-yu parties, as they are called, have
usually a historic Interest, and at certain
etage* of tne tea-making the guests are
expected to show their appreciation by a
careful examination of them and by
graceful, well-worded eulogies.
Ordinarily the Japanese take tbeir
Jneals in silence. According to the old
codes, conversation 1* almost prohibited.
It is considered a mark of good breeding,
however, when eating and drinking, to
draw in the breath with considerable
noise. This is supposed to indicate that
tbe guest is enjoying his food. On taking
tip a residence in anew place, the stranger
makes the first calls. Going round to the
houses of the oldest residents, the new
comer formally announces that she has
recently moved into their honorable
neighborhood; that she will probably fie a
very troublesome neighbor, but hopes they
will be gracious.
During the first week after a death in a
family presents of cake, eggs, etc., are
sent to the bereaved to prevent tbe neces
sity of preparing food for the numerous
friends woo call on visits of condolence.
Gifts of money to help defray the funeral
ex[>enses are also sent.
When a child enters a school a present
la usually given to the teacher. Tin* is
sometime* a basket ot fruit, or a box of
eggs, or sponge-cake. I have even known
a paper bag of sugar to be presented un
der hucd circumstances, and on placing
a child at boarding-school it is not un
usual for the parents to bring presents of
confectionery for all the pupils. t j
Jspan has often been called the “para
dise of children,” but it is only tne fa- i
rored few who have leen gathered to-
Kgtbcr in Christian schools that know
anything of Cbrinnas tree* or Christmas
presents. Considerable attention is given
By adults, however, to the subject of New
Year’s present*. It is customary to give
a present at New Year’s to any outside
the circle of intimate friends who roav
have done you a special favor during the
year, and a present is sometimes given at
the beginning of the new year to indicate
tee desire to receive favors during the
year to come. New Year’s calls are far
more general In Japan than in America.
The old year closes with a general bouse- ’
c -aniug. Quantities of rice cakes ami
other good things are prepared, and the
first week of the new year is given up to
festivity. Everybody seems to visit every- ,
body else, and the streets are so thronged
with gayly-dressed people that one won
ders woo can be at home to receive the
guests. Congratulatory letters are sent to
friends at a distance. No one is over
looked at this season.
in schools for girls, teachers are em
ployed who give systematic instruction In
etiquette every week, if not every day. In
these classes girls are taught how to
walk, how to enter a room, how to sit, how
to stand, how to eat, how to receive a guest,
Low to carry a candlestick, bow to pre
sent a bunch of flowers, and many simi
lar things, and no matter what a young
lady’s attainments may be, If she cannot
pass a cup of tea in tno conventional mau
oer she is looked upon as a rustic.
The Japanese language abound* In hon
orific particles of expressions which seam
wholly unnecessary to us. and which are
most absurd when translated literally into
English, and vet the omission or the wrong
Use of one of the most insignificant of these
particles often changes politeness to rude
ness, and. were it not that tbs people arc
usually too courteous to laugh at our
blunders they would have mauy jokes at
ur expense.
Politeness In this respect, however, I*
often carried to suoh un extent thut it
cesses to be a virtue, for men and woman
regularly employed to instruct foreigners
in tbe vernacular are sometimes too po
lite to correot their errors, and allow
the same mistakes to lie made day
after day without once calling attention
to them.
The Aifo of Forest Tree*.
from tht A rnoriem Saturatint for A'*;/f*:A*e.
Eleven years ago I examined tho stumps
®f two whit*oaks *nd tfie grave of a third,
which told this singular siory by circum
stantial evldcnee so strong that it could
not lx* doubted. In the year 1502 an acorn
fell.about 1)4 miles from where I atn now
writing (Rock vine, Ind.,) and by a favor
able chance sprouted and grew Into an
Oak. In 17i!44 another acorn sprouted
about 20 feet distant Irom It. It mav have
grown on the tree before mentioned, as It
was then 02 year* old. In 1731 a tornado
from tbe northwest blew down a still
older oak, which in its fall struck against
and greatlv damaged the top of the one
born in 1&02. There I* to-day the well
marked grave of the fallen giant, Ihe dlt l
piled upon the southeast side of the hole,
and a long depression in the ground where
the trunk fell and rotted till not a vestige
of its wood can he seen 10-dav (though
some truce* of the hark of the roots can ).
This depression points to the stitmpof the
damaged oak. The tw •> younger had linen
Ireshly out down when ( examined them.
Their stump* were about 1 feet acres*,
and there was not an Inch difference ho
tween their diameters, though I*2 years
difference In their ages. The younger
bad a large, healthy top, no broket) or
dead limbs, ami it bail put on rings of
growth from the beginning of more than
average elite. The older one had been In
jured in It* brunches by the fail of the
*HI older oue bdore mentioned (In 1731)
and for 57 years had put on very small
rings of growth (about 25 to 30 years to
tho Inch instead o! 12 to 16 as It should),
Win n anew set n( branches developed to
lake Ihe pi see Of the damaged ones, and
the rmgs began to increase In ixe and
VrrtdUMlly MttHitinl t< 1 ox
amiued the r lops, which coincided with
wnat ha* gone before. There were the pe
eu iar knots in the top of tbe older one
wi ere dead Pines bad rotted off and were
h"al"d over. ( Any expert timberman will
revaily recognize them.) During tills de
lay tlio younger oak caught up with tbo
Older olio in size. The size of n tree is a
very unoertitiii Indie atlon of Its age.
In all th* ease* of the hundreds 1 have
examined of the oaks (tho oldest trees of
tbs forest 1 think j 1 never saw but ous
j that was here when Columbus discovered
I America. That one was by tar the largest
I ever saw, and was over 600 years old.
] about twice the age of tbe other largest
ones. 1 could not get its exact age. as it
! was so decayed near the heart I couid not
distinguish the rings. It was between 6
and T feet in diameter, and forked about
CC teet up, and each fork was as : arge a
the other largest trees, it vvas n*t sound
enough to make good lumber, being what
in this region is called “doughty,” - slate
between soundness and rottenness. It
had been down a year before I examined
it (being out of the county when It was
cut), so that it wis very difficult to exam
<ne it. I have mislaid my memorandum
of it, but it would be a iut as follows; At
tbe age of about 200 years it had some ill
fortuue which caused it to form about 100
small riDgs. it then regained Its health
and formed normal rings for about 140
years, when another mishap caused small
ring* till within the last 50 years, when it
was putting on fair growths again. This
tree w as ah ;utme and a-balf miles south
east of Rockville, Ind.. and was noted
among hunters and woodmen, it was a
disagreeable, showery day when I exam
ined it. and lor that reason 1 did not ex
am. ne its top to see If dead, and lost, and
heaied-over limbs coincided with tbe
small rings, but I have olten done so in
other cases, and found them to coincide.
J.ast May ! 18eM) 1 examined a sycamore
and water-e!rn in th<- Wabash river bot
tom. the former 6 f*et in diameter, and
the latter 6, each ISO years old. They
stood about 150 fet apart. They were
standing on the upper end ot a newly
made bottom I mean new as compared
with the higher and older bottoms a little
more inland from the river, sav 200 years
old). This was tbe largest sycamore 1
ever saw that was sound to the heart. I
have seen hollow uues nearly “feet in di
ameter. This tree seems never to have
met with any mishap till tbe log mau
came along, as the rings of growth were
all unusually large.
These trees very probably sprouted 12 to
15 feet below tbe present surface ot the
bottom. They generally begin life on the
lower end of river sandbars, and as sedi
mentation builds up the surface they put
out new surface roots at every two or
three feet of elevation, h itch trees with
tfieir several sets of surface mots are
often seen in drift piles, and also still
standing on the verge of a steep river
bank where one side is exposed by the
erosion of tbo river. Their roots are often
hollow like their trunks, the hollow (and
root, too,) decreasing in diameter down
ward till it terminates in a point like a
cone standing on it* point. In the south
west corner of this county is a hollow cot
tonwood stump on what is now a bign
bottom of the Wabash, in which the hol
low extends downwards 12 feet. Mr. Jo
seph J. Daniels, an Intelligent, observing
man, on whose land it stands, told me so.
Suoh silting up over the surface roots
would kill most of the upland trees, or
those that grow Irom the seed on the high
bottoms.
“Silas I.ai > 1 1 ;t tn" and (lie .Icwn.
From the A ene-in Hebrew, Sept. 4.
In the second chapter of “The Ilise of
Silas Lapham,*' as published in the < >n- ■
runj for November, 1 vf-f, occurred the I
following:
“There was something that Mrs. Tap- ;
ham especially submitted to her husband
when they got home; she asked him if it i
were true, and if it made any difference, i
'lt makes a difference in trie price of j
property," vepLtl the Colonel, promptly. 1
-But, as lose as we don t want to sell, it j
don’t matter.’
‘“Why, Silas Lapham,’ said his wife,
‘do you mean to tell me that this house is
worth leas than we cave lor it?’
•“It’s worth a good deal less. You see
they have got in—and pretty thick, t*>o —
it’s no use denying it. And when they
get in they send down the price ol prop
erty. Of course, there ain’t any sense in i
it. I think it’s all damn foolishness. It’s !
cruel, and folks ought to be ashamed.
But there it is. You lell folks that the
Saviour himself was one, and the twelve
apostles, and all the prophets, I don’t
know but Adam was—guess he was—and
it don’t make a bit of difference. They
send down the price of real estate.
Prices begin U) shade when the first one
gets in.’
“Mrs. Lapham thought the facts over a
few moments. ‘Well, what do we care,
so long as we’re comfortable in our home?
And they're just as nice and as good
neighbors as can be.’
“‘A Mr. l.lllengarten has bought the
Gordon house across the square,' she said,
thoughtfully.
“•Well, I’m agreeable. I suppose he's
got the money to pay for it.’
“‘Oh, yes; they’ve ull got money,’
sighed Mrs. Lapham.*’
The following correspondence between
one of the editors of the American Hebrew
and Mr W. 1). Howells requires no fur
ther explanation:
I.
“New York, July 12, IS!*5.
“Dkak Sin—As “The Rise of Silas Lap
ham” I* about approaching completion,

form, 1 beg to call to your notice a slur

tbe ignorant and uucuitureil of tbe Jews
that you reflect, for neither‘tho Saviour
bimsoir nor tho twelve apostles, nor the

the records show, of that class which de
preciated the value of pronerty when they
•got in.’
“Tue IntroduoUon of the lines iu ques

such end is accomplished. The sentiment

Several years ago a cancerous ulcer ma le
it a pertrance on my chin. Three years aco
it * oughed out, but )ant spring returned. Soon
after ihe cancer appeared, iny sk>n became
• ie i->ed—any slight w*und or brttiMe would
inflame, spread aud make an ugly sore. Rough
piaccsaud heavy black scales formed on my
hands and face La*t October I was attacked
with Rheumatism in my fed, nklt-, knees
and hips, winch became Vo s tifT. hwnl.cn and
sore and the muscles so much contracted that
it win impossible for me to straighten myself.
In tliis ternbie condition, flo medicine gave
me any relief—my appetite and strength fail
ed, and I became completely helpless. In this
almost hopeless condi’i n I determined to try
tit ins’h Pionkek liLOOb RknewKa. I pro
cured a supply and began the use of it. I used
it about one month, and I so much improved
that I began to walk about with the aid of
crutches. The cancer on my chin entirely
disappeared. The black heavy scales that had
formed on my face and hands fell off, and niv
skin leeame r ear, smooth and healthv. I
would also state that for several years I have
used this Medicine in my practice in the treat
ment of glandular and skin diseases, and I
have never known it to fail to cure any case
where it has been used according t.i directions,
