Japan has proved an apt pupil since she
opened seven doors to the civilized world in
1854. It is but recently that the Emperor was
too sacred a person to be seen by his subjects,
even of the highest rank now he goes about
openly with but few attendants, and there is no
compulsion upon the people to kneel while he
is passing. The secret of the change-which
has resulted in remodelled judiciary system,
revolution in the mode of warfare, and the
organization of navy, construction of a rail-
road, laying Of telegraph, erection of light
houses, establishment of several daily news
papers and publication houses, with academies
or colleges for higher education, and with COM
mon schools all over the country, the introduce
tion of the decimal system of coinage and
postal system, with the abolition of caste-is
to be found in the fact that the japanese have
suppressed two-thirds of the Buddhist temples,
Buddhism or Sintooism, and promulgated
new creed, which is all that is required of the
people, viz, to fear God, honor the Emperor,
and love their country, obey the laws of nature,
and discharge the relative duties. The custom
houses and all public Offices are closed on the
Sabbath, and the edict against Christianity has
begun to be removed from many places where
il has long been in force. In a word, Japan is
now one of the most hopeful fields for Chris
tian efforts in the world.
As a'proof that idolatry is shaken to its foun-
dations, it is said that the beautiful temples,
which are thickly scattered over the land, are
little cared To., and ore rapidly going to decay.
A missionary remarks that, during his many
visits to these places of worship, he had seen
and heard much to make him believe that the
religion of Japan is fast losing its hold on the
hearts of the people, and that they are will
ling as soon as the government encourages the
step, to give up the old for a new and better
faith.
An educated japanese was lately admitted
to the Church at Yeddo, who bids fair to be a
useful laborer among his countrymen. Ten
were also added to the Church at Yokohama,
and the service on the occasion was one of
deep interest. Others applied, but their cases
were deferred. At Osaka, a daily Bible SER
vice is held every evening, at FIVE O'Clock, and
the average attendance in the hot season is
more than twenty. The native Christians con-
duct there services two evenings evesy week.
One, recent convert at Yeddo, only nineteen
years of age, is modest, wise, self-possessed,
and wonderfully capable as preacher. A
very interesting tour has lately bee1 made by
two Christian women, accompanied by native
female convert and male assistant. Their.
quarters were daily crowded with earnest list
eners, most of them mothers, to whom the sto-
ry of the Cross was told again and again.
This was the most interesting feature of the
tour.

"A Nevada woman recently knocked down
seven burglars, one after an other; Her hus-
band watched her from the top of the stairs,
and felt so brimful of battle that he couldn't
cool off until he had jerked his eight year
old boy out of bed and whaled him soundly
for not getting up and helping his mother,
when the odor of flowers is unusually
perceptible rain may be anticipated, as the
air, when damp, conveys the odor more effect
ivel than when dry. Damp air being also
a better conductor of sound than dry air, belis,
the sound of mills, and railways, are better
heard after rain.

Boston WOMEN SCANDALIZED.-Do Boston
women chew tobacco? That's the question.
Rev. Mr.. Lathrop has declared it a fact before
the Women's Temperance Union of that city.
lie not only makes this charge, but, generali-
zing little claims that he can get ten men to
leave off chewing where he can induce one wo-
man tc say she will never more use "ine cut"
or "sweet navy" Can such things be? The
use of the weed by women in certain sections
of the country is an old story. But to think
that q clergyman, whose opinions are entitled
to the utmost consideration, should feel 1t his
bounden duty to publicly demonstrate with the
female world of Boston for its indulgence in
the habit that has heretofore been deemed one
of the blessed vicious privileges of male human
ity exclusively. His statements seem to be
made il manner which indicates that he has
accurate knowledge Of certain cases. The
Globe says: 'In times past, Jealous New York,
fuming Chicago and ever quiet and demure
Philadelphia have limited that the average
Boston young lady affected eyeglasses as
gentle 'stimuant for her optics, and was trife
cool and high-toned as to style, and, not long
ago. Boston ladies were accused by some an
onymous correspondent of frequently indulglng
in too much wine; but We have never heard OF
any such awful charge as this before" 1t is
pretty rough, surely. If the thing were told
upon any other city than Boston it would not
so much matter. But the idea that, in the very
hub of the universe, the dreadful example
should be set the world at large, is narrowing
to husbands and lovers. Hereafter, young man,
mind your girls eye-teeth for nicotine discolor-
alton. They do say that Washington bellies
brighten their eyes and prevent their gayety
from tagging by champagne tippling, but that
is as nothing to this Boston scandal.-C1ur1er-

A MALTHUsIAN CALCULATIoN.-Aec econom-
ic journal enters into a curious calculation as
to the actual cost, in dollars and cents, which
q man or woman would be to the world and
society by the time he or she got old enough to
"pay expenses" or return back to the country
what thus far has been expended in rearing
the population.
Every baby, it is fair to assume, when prop
erly brought up, costs its parents at least fifty
dollars a year, an expense which increases
largely as food, clothing, the shelter Of warm
home, education and spending money, are re-
quired for the growing child. The actual cost
up to the fifteenth year, of each child in this
republic, is certainly not less than thousand
dollars. At that age its labor would be worth
its subsistence. Not till it reaches the age of
eighteen land a great many not even them
does it really begin to be productive. For
every 100000 children, the nation has to pro-
duce six or eig ght millions of dollars, consumed
without adding at all to production. To rear
that number of children to productive age
certainly costs hundred millions of dollars
without any profit, whatever, in return. Here
in is the great value of immigration. This
great republic receives into its broad and glo-
rious bosom every day not less than one thou
sand emigrants from the old world. Of course,
two-thirds, perhaps seven-eights, are adults,
already grown for US by Europe, at her cost, up
to the productive point, when they come to our
shores to give us the ben6t Of their toll. An
nually does Europe labor industriously to pro-
duce and raise for our republic, free of cost,
more than 100000 persons, who we could not
have furnished ourselves at an expense OF
$500, 100000. No wonder that we grow rich
and prosper, for the loss of the world is our
gain, and all countries are nursing mothers for
