Hints As To Shaving.
■
Never fail to wem wash vourj beard
with soap and cold water and to rub it
drv immediately before you apply the
lather, of which the more you use, and
the thicker it is, the easier you will
shave.
Never use warm water which makes
the face (of shavers) tender.
In cold weather place your razor (clos¬
ed of course) in your pocket, or undei
your arm, to warm it.
The moment you leave your bed (or
bath) is the best time to shave.
Always wipe your razor clean, anil
strop it before putting it away; aud al¬
ways put your shaving brush away with
the lather on it.
The razor, being only a tiny saw,
should be moved in a sloj big or sawing
direction, and held nearly Hat to your
face, cave being taken to draw the skin
as tight as possible with the left hand,
so as to present an even surface, and to
throw out the beard.
The practice of pressing oil the edge
of the razor in stropping it soon rounds
it; the pressure should be directed tc
the back, which should never be raised
from the strop. If you shave from heel
to point of razor, strop it from point to
heel; but if you begin with the point in
shaving, then strop it from heel to
point.
If yon only once put away your razor
without stropping it, or otherwise per¬
fectly eb aning the edge, you must no
longer expect to shave well and easy—
the soap and damp so soon rust the tine
teetli and edge.
A piece of soft plate-leather siiould
always l.e kept with razors, to wipe

NUMBER 52-
A JAPANESE DINING ROOM
It Looks Like a Toy House—Tho
Japs at Their Meal.
The common dining set in Japan looks
like an equipment for a toy house. The
table is about eight inches bigli and iU
top is a tray about eight inches square.
Every person lias his own table. J1 h
sits on liia cushion, and the servant,;
neatly dressed Japanese girl, brings him
not liis dinner only but his dinner
table. There is no common dining
room in a Japanese house or hotel. The
dinner is served wherever the guest
wants it. When be comes into tho
house lie is served with tea. The tea is
kept lmnily in a metal canister, and a
kettle for hot water is placed on the
hibuehi. The servant uses much cere’
mony in serving the tea. After pouring
tbt' hot water upon the lenvt's and till¬
ing the cup, she places it upon a little
metallic holder, and with a bow pushes'
it within reach of the guest. Then next
she provides a tobacco set, so the guest
can smoke if he wishes. Dinner is then
served on the little table or tray. Oh
this tray will be several little covered
vessels or dishes, in fact about all it
will hold. In front nearest the guest,
in the riglit-band corner, is a lacquer
bowl filled with miso soup. At the left
is a porcelain bowl for rice. On the
other side of tile tray is a lacquer bowl
in which soup, vegetables slew or a tisb
stew will be served. Beside this is a
porcelain plate on which probably tish #
will be served either broiled or raw.
In the middle is a little cup for Soy or
Slioyu, a dark colored sauce, like AVor
center sauce in appearance. Salmon,
trout and other kinds of lish are served
ish. raw frequently The with little strips of md
diner takes up with his chop
sticks u slice of fish and radish and dip^
them in the sauce before carrying- them
to his mouth. Toward the eliil of his
meal he will remove the saucer-shaped
top from his rice bowl mid pass it to
the attendant, who will place on it u.su
ally four slices of some kind of preserved
or j tickled vegetable. This he will eat
as a relish with his rice. The odor
is strong and objections! to foreigners,
but one soon acquires a taste for it, and
it becomes an inilispensible table article
with rice. The chopsticks are usually
of wood and about ten inches long. In¬
cased in a little paper sheath, they are
placed on tho table or tray with tho
dinner. The cheaper and commoner
chopsticks given to a guest at n hotel
are supposed to bo use I only at one
meal. They are merely cedar sticks.
Some of the chopsticks, however, a’c
lacquered, eating and when the guest 1ms fin¬
ished with such a pair ho wipes
them on a napkin. Chopsticks like
xiiose, when used, are loft in the guest’s
room, to be used by him whenever he
has a meal served. Thc chopsticks are
g-spoil o AluG’c thumb and
o-dex finger. 'Die midd’e huger is
thrust between them to forth a fulcrum,
and then the chopsticks are used like a
tiny pair of tongs, with which morsels
of food are picked np. The Japanese
food is all so prepared and served that a
knife is not needed. Meats are goner
a ly hashed.
All through the meal the daintv
Japanese serving girl sits close at hand,
to be of service if she is needed. Hl.i:
has with her a rice bowl, from which b>
replenish the supply of rice in the Ltt'e
lacquer bowl on the table. It the guest
passes his bowl to be replenished ih<
girl always takes two dips at the vice
with her flat ladle, even if the guest is
satisfied with but one ladleful. The
second dip in such case is a ceremonial
dip and only a few grains of rice may bo
taken, but the custom of making tv.r,
dips has been firmly established forages,
and lation anything table less etiquette would bo a hospitality. grave vio¬
