When the Empress Drives Out.

When Her majesty the Empress of Japan drives out no one is permitted to look at her from the windows or chinks in the doors or any part of the house, but must sit down by the side of the street through which she passes. Each person must doff hat or cap as she passes, except the women in European dress, whose heads may remain covered. No one may speak or foliow the carriage, and no noise of tmy kind is allowed on the streets through which she passes.—Brooklyn Eagle.
