The Thrifty Japanese.

What is the reason that Japan
has no poverty problem? One rea-
son is probably to be found in the
land system, which has given to
every worker a holding and encour-
aged him to supply his wants by
his own labor. Effort has thus been
developed and wants are limited.
Another reason lies in the National
taste for country beauty. Nowhere
else are parties formed to visit the
blossom trees, and nowhere else are
pilgrimages simply for the sake of
natural beauty. A country life
has, therefore, its own interest, and
men do not crowd the cities for the
sake of excitement. There is, too,
in Japan q curious absence of osten-
tatious luxury.
The habits of living are in all
classes much the same, and the
rich do not outshine the poor by
carriages, palaces and jewelry.
The rich spend their money on
curios, which, if costly, are limited,
and the most popular agitation is
that against the big European
houses which ministers build for
themselves. Wealth is thus not
absorbed, and is more ready for
investment in remunerative labor.
The last reason which occurs to
the mind Of a traveller with COM
paratively few opportunities for
forming opinions is the equality of
manners in all classes. Rich and
poor are alike courteous. 1t is not
possible to distinguish employer
from laborer by their behavior all
are clean, all are easy, all are
restrained.
The governor lets his child go to
the common school and sit next to
the child of the casual laborer, GER
tain that his child will pick up no
bad manners and get no contamin-
alton in thought or in person. This
equality enables rich and poor to
meet as friends, and gifts can pass
without degradation. The rich
mobiles in the country, just as the
university men whom we met in
Toxic, are thus able to give to
those whom they know to be in
need, and friendship becomes the
channel of charity. The question
is will this survive the introduction
of the industrial system? 1t is pos
sible that some of it may and that
Japan may teach the west how to
to deal with the poor.-Fortnightly
Review.
