SHOPS IN JAPAN. and Tbe Floors Are the Coaatera Baaattlat; Places of Bayera. To start a Japanese shop Is the sim plest thing in the world. You take the front off your house and arrange your worldly possessions on the floor. Japanese' floors 'are rained off the troot though nothing is raised off thorn.' The transient customer sits on the edge of the floor sidesaddle. A real shopper who means to do the thing properly climbs up on the floor, which Is also the counter, and squats ou'hls heeli. ' ' '-" ' ' " Real Japanese shops have no doors or windows or counters. Shop windows In England do net leave much wall lu the frontage, but even an English shop window does not take the whole frout of the house. . ... 'The Jupaatse have not many regular hops.' There are very few streets of shops even In Tokyo, which is as large as Berlin." Foreigners never buy any thing but curiosv if they are foors, they deal with 'shops kept by Eurw- peons; If they want bargains, they deal with Chinamen. Turn are many Chinese shops in treaty porta. The Chinaman Is cheaper and more reliable than' the Japanese. European shopkeepf rs do not sot up lh Japan for philanthrope reasons. Jap anese shopkeepers are the lowest class of population except the outcasts. Servants and laborers take precedence of them tu society, and precedence is the hobby of the Japanese. You have a different bow and a dif ferent salutation for a man who Is be low yon or your eiual, and several for the people above you. Yon have even a different language for each, and Jap anese writing wriggles like can ing on their temples. Loudon Standard. , Aa Exoeea ot Geaeroalty.
