ODDITIES IN JAPAN
Natives Have a Topsy Turvy
Way of Doing Many Things.
BATHING IS A SACRED RITE.
And Whsnsvsr a Natlvo Haa a Mo
ment to Spare Ha Reeorte to the Tub,
With Ita Peculiar Code of Ethioe.
Houaea Without Windows.
I Just can't get used to Uow turned
around, upside down, Inside out, topsy
turvy, tilings ore In Jnpan. A Japa
nese carpentor draws the plane toward
himself, and a blacksmith sits down to
work.
A Japanese blacksmith never knows
the Joys of getting tickets to the circus,
for ho hasn't nny placo for tho advance
man to paste up his three slutets. The
whole front of a Japanese hjOcksmlth
shop Is open, with other hulliMngit Jam
med up so closo on each side I hut the
circus man couldn’t get a poster In.
A Japanese hook begins on our last
page and finishes on our first para
graph. And their' sentences begin at
the top of the page and read down, like
long columns of figure*. They wear
white to funerals and Judge poetry by
tho beauty of the hundwrltlng.
Japnncso houses haven't any chim
neys, so you mny see a whole plateau
of bouses with not a single curl of
smoke ns far as the bye can reach. The
Japanese cooking Is dfino outside the
house In a little Charcokt stove. They
have no* stovos to keep themselves
warm, only little hlbncfils, gallon Jars
with charcoal in thorn covered with
tlno ashes. There Isn't enough heat la
one to slngo a miller, niul whenever
they get too cold r they take a warm
bath.
Bathing 1h a sacred rite. Whenever
they have a spare moment they run
and take a bath. When business In dull
they hurry to a public bathhouse and
Jump In. If they iiiIhb ope train they
tako a bath while whiting for tho nett.
They take hot baths—steaming. Biz
sling hot And the strangO thing Is they
don't do tho bathing In a tub. Tboy
bhvo little foot baths about the slzo of
crocks that they use for washing them
selves, and wltou thoy are thoroughly
clean thoy climb Into the tub.
If you should get Into tho tub first
the proprietor would break Into tears
hnd tell you that you were bankrupting
him, for the same water Is used all
■evening, no difference how many guests
the hotel 1ms.
After soaking awhile they crag-1 out,
steaming all over, gently blot them
selves, get into kimonos ami sit around
bare nnklcd. One would think that be
fore the evening was over a licet foot
ed runner would have to ho dispatched
for medical assistance, but Instead of
that they never catch cold!
When I got here and was Invited Into
n Japanese homo 1 found that they
hadn't any chairs. In fact, there Isn't
a stick of furniture a Jopt high In a
Japanese house. Yqu have to s|l on tho
floor. A person of my bdlld was never
meant for sitting 6n the floor. When 1
get down on the floor and try to draw
up to u Japnnoso table my feet are so
In tho way thut I can’t got up to where
there Is anything <%b>g. Tho waitress
bag to walk around kiiy feet to bring mo
tha viands. By tho Unto the meal Is
over she Is pretty well fagged out
A Japanese house hasn't a sluglo
window. Anil It's only the most stylish
of bouses that have a pane of glass.
A person who has a thine of glass
fiomowboro in Ills house sets the social
pneo In that neighborhood. Instead of
glasB they have paper pasted ou sliding
frames, and through tl)o paper tho
light filters. Naturally one wonders
how they keep the raltr out. This Is
little trouble, for outside tho paper
trails are a serlos of woodon doors,
1 which also slide back and forth.
When time comes to retire you look
around for tho bed, but there Isn't btio
In sight It Is rolled up In, a drawer,
hnd tho Japanese wouldn't know a
dstead from a qutrtlng'tranie." Mfi-
ons of people In-Japan have grown

To make the bed ready the servant
opens tho drawer and luarolla the qullta

Then she Bhuta all the paper windows
and pulla to all tho wooden slides so
that not a breath of air can get In and

Sharing One’s Joy.
Au stuata Herald.
Not sharing one’s joy is as short,
sighted as to play Greedy Peter and
hoard the cake until too stale to oat, or
e Ise cat it up so fast the doctor comes
flying. Having no one to sympatbizo, a
surfeit of joy results.
A quaint old woman, noted for doing
many kindnesses out of proportion to
her tiny income, never would ac
cept praise for her unselfishness.
"Hoardin’ one’s blessin’a,” she would
say, "it is jest about as much sense as
hoardin’ one’s best black silk—afore ye
k nows it it rots from not usin' and no
one gits the good o’ it. ”
The girl who does not hoard her joy,
who asks others to share her good
times, is the girl whose capcity for joy
knows no limit. Because she shares her
happiness with others and is nnt selfish
with the pleasures that come her way,
people like to have her around and her
popularity does not quickly wane.
No one lasts so badly as a selfish girl.
She may be a beauty, a wit, full of ex
ternal charm, but if she has not the
charm of usefulness it doea not take
long for her friends to pity her lack.
The girl who helps other girls is the
one who is loved by both sexes. Men
like her better for her thoughtfulness,
and the plainer girls, those who would
otherwise be wounded by being I if tout,
adore her openly and do not envy her
social success.
How many girls think of sharing their
joys with old people at home? If they
have been off for a good-time, instead
of tailing the family about it they are
dumb as a mummy, or if questioned,
answer in monosyllables. Yet half the
joy of an outing to the right kind of a-
girl lies in talking it over at home; joy
for the girl to recall her good times,
and joy for the loving liatehers in hear
ing about them.
But those who would win joy must
share it.
It was the first time that the polite
little girl had been on a visit alone, and
papa had carefully instructed her as to
how she should behave.
“Now," he bad said, “if they ask
you to dine with them, you must say:
‘No, thank you, I have already dined.’ "
It turned out just as papa had antic
ipated.
“Come, Marjorie,” ber little friend’s
father had said, "you must stay and
have a bite with us."
‘No, thank you,” said the small miss
with dignity, "I have already bitten.”

Herring, great quantities of which

The rich old uncle from whom much
was hoped for was visiting his niece,
who had been telling him how dearly
his little namesake loved his school and
how well he was getting on with his
etadies.
"Well, Teddy,” said uncle, jovially,
upon the return of the little boy, "what
did you do in school all day?”
Teddy pondered. "Well," he said
gravely, "moetly I wait until it’s time
to go home.”

During the trial of a case in a Phila

"What do you do?” asked the law

“I am very well,” was the unex

”1 am not asking you as to your
health. I want to know what you do. ”
"I work.” > ,
“Where do you work?”
"In a factory.”
“What kind of a factory.”
"It is a rather large factory.”
“May I venture to inquire what you
make in the factory?”
"You want to know what I make in
the factory?”
“Precisely. Answer without further
circumlocution. Tell ub what you
make." ,

After suffering a long time with
toothache the colored girl got up her
courage enough to go to the dentist.
The moment he touched the tooth she
began to scream.
“Look here,” he said, “you mustn't
yell like that. Don’t you know I’m a
‘painless dentist?’ ”
"Well, mebbe yo' is painless, sab,”
she said, “but I isn’t.”
She is indeed a wise woman who
knows when to stop talking and turn
on the flow of tears. . , . i
