Wuis* Royalty i'uavkls ia jap/.k.-> There has existed in Japan for many centuries a curious law to the effect that whenever the Emperor ot Empress appeared ia Eublic no other person should occupy a igher place than this member of the Royal family, therefore, on such occasions, lire shutters of all upper storeys were drawn, and the upper parts oi t lie house through which the Royal party moved were seemingly deserted. This law is still in elfeci. Some time ago. when the Empress went into the country for a brief period, an elaborate announcement was Dusted iu conspicuous places along the line if her contemplated route commanding the public to observe strictly certain requirements of etiquette, to wit: When her Majesty shall pass along no one must loo!: at her from the frame built on houses tor the dry leg of clothes, or through cracks in doors, 01 from any position in the upper cart of their houses. If anyone wishes to see her Majesty he or she must sit down at the side of ihe road by which her Majesty will pass.> All children must be taken particular care of tnat they do not play in the road, and so obstruct the passage of her Majesty through the streets. No one must look at her Majesty without taking oft his hat, neckcloth, or turban, or whatever elso he may be wearing on his head. Moreover no one must be smoking while he or she is looking at her Majesty, nor must anyone carry a stick or a cane. Only women wearing the clothes of a foreigner will bo permitted to retain their head-covering v Although it may rain, no person will be allowed to put up an umbrella while her Majesty may be passing. .1 K>gs must not be allowed to wander on to the road by which her Majesty will pass.
