owes her present position, sucn as 1t is,
and some cah it high one, to Christi
anity and the influence of the Teutonic
mind. Principal Donaldson says he used
to believe this himself. Then he investi-
gated it thoroughly and found that not
only christianity in the first three GEN.
turies did not free and elevate women,
but that. ION the contrary, it tended to
lower their character and contract their
range OF activity" - ~ ,.@E
This, coming from q man so learned
and so thoroughly CHRISTIAN as Principal
Donaldson, is remarkable statement.
The degradation Of woman. however,
does not come from anything Christ him
self taught. Paul is responsible forit
The Ebionites narrate that Paul was a
Greek of Tarsus; that he came up to Je-
rusalem and met and loved the high
priests daughter and became Jewish
proselyte. He then sought the high
priests daughter in marriage, but was
rejected This ranked in his soul ever
after, SO that he held a grudge at all
womankind. Principal Donaldson says;
Some have thought that there is bitterness
against women in the writings Of ST. Paul which
can 10 explained only by some such rejection as
that related by the Ebionites
AT any rate, tho writings of Paul gave
q trend to the woman question in the first
days of the Christian church that low
cred and degraded women unspeakably.

Great Columbia.

Retired United States Quartermaster
General Meigs has been dipping at once
into statistics and prophecy in a late
number of Science. He has figured out
of his head what the population of this
republic will be in 1890.
Our people have nearly tripled in num-
Der in the forty years since 1850. 1t is
to be considered that since the memory
of men only now in the bloom and prime
OF manhood we have grown from 49,
Ooo.O 900 to 81. $40, 900, that being the esti-
mate which Gen. Meigs makes for the
1890 census, which is the eleventh.
The year 1890 is the hundredth anni-
versary of the year when the first census
was taken. Then we had population
of not quito 100000 all told. With
what self complacency the Americans of
1850 must have looked back On the poor
little 4,000,0 900 that our country held in
1890. Just so, if all goes well, the Amer
leans of half a century hence will look
back on us and on our Insignificant 67,-
100000; for in 1910 the country will have
2ss 1929 SIT, and in 1890, at the same rate
of increase, the population Of the United
States will bo 1 1,2Os, ,562, ,24s. At present
the total population of the world is pop
ularly supposed to be 1,4OO,ooo,OOO.
Gen. Meigs estimates our growth dur
ing the next century at 1873 per cent
each decade. which is slightly less than
it has been during the past century.
Beyond doubt the United States will
he the head and home of the English
speaking people on the globe. Russia
might outstrip us in growth if she had a
liberal government and mild climate,
her population being already 1o3, ,912, $40.
But as it is we have nothing to fear
from Russia. We have only to stand
fast together and march on to glory.

Life I.en:theninS.

Human life is estimated to have
heightened 25 per cent. during the las
half century. "The average Of human
life in Rome, under Caesar, was eighteer
years, says DIR. Todd, of Georgia; "now
it is forty. The average in France fifty
years ago was twenty-eight; the near
duration in 1867 was forty-five and one
half years. In Geneva during the Thir
teenth century a generation played it
part upon the stage and disappeared il
fourteen years: now the drama requires
forty years before the curtain falls. Dur
ing the golden rel q 81 good Queen Bess
in London and all the large cities q
merry old Enghnd, fifty out of one thou
sand paid the hst debt to nature yearly
which means instead of three score and
ten. they averaged but one score. Now,
in the city of London, the average is
forty seven years. Herald Of Health.

Learning from the Jananese.

Rev. Arthur NJ. Knapp was sent by the
American Unitarian association to Japan.
He has returned, and, in sermon, re-
ported his experiences. He found the
japanese gentle, childlike and trustful,
with the faults of children.
Mr.. Knapp goes back this month to
Japan. He will remain there four years.
If he progresses as he has already done
among the Japs, he may return to Amer
lea full fedged in the Buddhist faith as
so many of his fellow-countrymen al
ready are. In Europe, too, it is a fad at
present to tske up Buddhism. Mr.. Knapp
made this remarkable statement:
i ha,h been sent to Japan" he said, mot as
MISSIONARY to teach and convert, but to learn
sohething OF the tendencies and nature of the
People and in the interest Of religious reciprocity
Icome back TO report that not only Is this faith
of yours practically identical with what the Japa-
nese have, but that we have well nigh as much to
learn from them rs to teach"
The preacher evidently agrees with
that Japanese nobleman who, having
travelled all over this country, was asked
II he would not like to live here His
reply was:
"What has America to offer to Japa,
nese gentleman?"
Morris tribune., 1889-09-25

Thibet is land invested with mystery
and romance. There are fastnesses in
its mountains that to this day have never
been explored; retreats believed by some
to be the home of Indian adopts who
have conquered the infrmities of the
flesh and of mortal mind, and who live
on for centuries, like Bulwer's Zanoni.
1t is interesting to know that a Siberian
traveller proposes to explore Thibet thor
oughly and find out all that he can
about it. He will be accompanied by q
Chinese escort and take the roRte along
by the Chinese wall. It is to be hoped
he will finally be a5ie to set at rest the
question whether there are people in
Thibet SOC years old.
