De Guine saw a mandarin whose nails were nearly six inches in length, and a physician who had brought them to ten or twelve inches. The nails are thus kept extremely clear and trans parent, and at night are carefully en closed in bamboo cases. There is another peculiarity of custom among
the Chinese, w hich is said to be uni vcrsal ; they use their left hand in preference to the light.
