So, 200, 10, made up of Is, 598, 99S males
and Is, 101. 112 females. The number of
Inhabited houses is 7,611, 40, being an
average of about five persons to house.
The. populations of a few of the best
known cities are rs follows: Osaka, l.
772, 1873, living in 500, $50 houses; Hioge,
l,4lS,521, living in 319, $40 houses; Ma
gasaki, 1,204,62 living in 257,915
houses; Toxic, 9S7. 1897, living in 277, 655
houses; Kioto, 835, 2i5, living in 1876, 500
houses. The rate of population to
houses, however, seems uncertain in the
various towns, as, for instance, in Nj
agata. where a population of 1861, 16S
inhabit S05, 1889 houses. 1t is unusual
to find in the census of different coun-
tries such an equality in numbers of the
sexes, though there are few towns in
Japan where the women outnumber the
men, such as Saitaina, where there are
4S4, O58 women to 49, men; Aitchi,
500, 235 to 662,S15; Yamanashi, 205, 534
to 204,315; Yamagata, 34O,505 to 252,-
655. A return published at the same
date states that the japanese army con-
sists of 80 Generals, 1885 officers of all
ranks, 100, 496 non-commissioned officers
and men, 253 officers of administration,
81 military workmen, and 617 appren-
tees, of whom y are studying military
routine in foreign countries. London
