TRAINED TO CIVILITY. 1 The Japanese are trained to civility from babyhood. Before a can speak, it is taught to lift the hand to the forehead on receiving a gift. Should & child fail to make this signal of respect snd gratitude it would be reproved by some' bystander. A recent traveller, who rambled through Japan without a. guide, says that while strolling about a town he stopped to see the children coming from school. They walked sedately a-nd quietly, with books and slates under their arms. The sight of a bearded foreigner startled the first to come, 1 gt they J nu!de a respectful bow and passed on. The next group repeated this civility, and then as fast as the pupIls; came they made a profound reverence. The innate gentleness of the people im- pressed the rambler, lie records that he never saw a single instance among boys of that tyrannical spirit so often observed in other countries, that delights in inflicting pain on weaker companions. Japanese chil- dren are well-behaved, even toward each other.
