A Japanese Peculiarity.
"When a Japanese servant is rebuk
ed or scolded." says a traveler, "he
must smile like a Cheshire cat. Tbe
etiquette in smiles is very misleading
at first I often used to think that
Taki, my riksha 'boy, meant to be im
pertinent when be insisted on smiling
when I was angry at him. But when
he told me of tbe death of his little
child with a burst of laughter I knew
that this was only one of the curious
details of etiquette in this topsy turvy
land."

we'll give tbem to yon for one
third off, in exobapge, for cash to
