Polite Japanese Boys and Girls.

“In Japan I visited several schools,” says a writer in the Cincinnati Tribune, “and I must admit I never-saw such a nice lot of chlldpen. politeness is wonderful and gains for them the admiration of all the strangers who visit them. As soon as I entered tlip E'oliool the little boys and girls stood ug and inclined their heads Japanese fashion to salute me. In answer to various questions they replied without basllfttbness, but with an air showing how they appreciated the honor of being visited." In many nations it has been believed that an individual bitten by a dog may cure himself by placing three of the dog’s hairs on the vycniml. The idea is expressed in the English proverb: “The hair of the dog is good for the bile.”
