THE JAPANESE RELIGION.
Its Peculiar Bearings on IL Diet of
Meat.

The reason why the idea of unclean.
liness was associated with the idea ol
dangerousness was, in my opinion
because uncleanness was thought to be
the enemy of the gods. and the gods
can not be where any uncleanness ex.
lists. The gods are clean and pure.
and those who are not clean and pure
can not but forfeit the protection ol
/ the gods. Those who are not protect
ed by the gods can easily be attacked
and injured by the evil and unclean
spirits. and hence the idea of danger
came to be associated with the idea OF
uncleanness. This is, perhaps. made
palmer by some concrete case.
When | was young boy the custom
of eating beef began to spread. As
blood was regarded as unclean. and
also as Japan had been a strong
agricultural country. there was a very
deep-rooted disinclination to eat beef.
in this. OF course. one has also to
recognize the influence of the yegeta-
rian principle of Buddhism. But to
anybody who had ever tasted beef. it
was SO delicious that he could hardly
control his natural appetite by his re-
ligiOus scruple. Ny father was one OF
those who knew its taste. and so now
and then we used to treat ourselves TO
beef. But where did we eat it? We
did not eat it inside of the house. We
cooked and ate it i'll the opeu air. and
in cooking and eating it wee did not use
the ordinary utensils, but used the
special ones kept for the purpose.
Why all these things? Because beef
was unclean, and we did not like to
spread this uncleannesS into our house
wherein the 'gods-shelf" is kept. and
into our ordinary utensilswhich might
be used inmaking offerings to the gods.
The day when we ate beef my father
did not offer lights to the gods nor
say evening prayers TO them. rs he
did usually, for he knew he was un-
clean and could notapproach the gods.
Then my mother. who did not and
could not eat beef till very recently,
did these things. andI. who used to
pertake of the new dainty dish, often
went TO bed feeling as if | was unclean
and subjecttO dangers.-S. KishimOto

The Book of Jobs.

a strange man came within the land
of US and dwelt among his people, and
he waxed mighty in power and in
wealth.
And he was feared by the multitude.
and they looked upon him with awe,
for they saw that their leaders bowed
before him and paid him homage.
And the stranger took unto him a
wife, and his family prospered exceed
ing. for they lived upon the fat of the
land: he and his sons and his daugh-
ter's husbands and theirsons and their
uncles and nephews.
Whereat the people marvelled and
said unto one another:
Verify. this is a pantata. for, look,
he feedeth upon the public crib: he
spinneth not, nor doth he labor, yet
he doth grow fat. he and his,'
And the people counselled and went
unto their leader. he that dwelleth by
the Po To Mac and is known as the
Prophet.
And they said unto him:
20 Prophet, tell us that We may
know who this stranger is.''
And the Prophet said naught and
remained silent. and the people ex-
claimed:
''Alas. weknownewwho this stranger
is. for our Gro Yer, hath not spoken
he is an obnoxious excrudescence."
Andwhen they asked the scribes what
that meant. the scribes answered and
said:
Verify, ye are stupid: it means a
Pothousepolitician.'
And the people wept and wore sack
cloth, for the plague was upon them.-

lie Got a Move On.

was on the retreat, threw his musket or
the ground, seated himself by the road.

mence:
I'm be dashed if l walk another

And he sat there the picture of despair.
''Git up, man. exclaimed the Cap
tain: don't you know the Yankees

Cant do it," he replied. 'I'm
done for. I'll not walk another step!''
The Confederates passed along over
the crest of hill, and lost sight of
their poor, detected comrade.
In moment there was fresh rattle
of musketry and renewed crash of
shells. Suddenly he appeared on the
crest of the hill moving along like a
hurricane and followed by a cloud of
dust. AS ne dashed past his Captain.

After Forty Year

Several months ago Gen. McCooa
paid visit to Santa Fe with some
railroad officials. On arrivingat Santa
Fe his first inquiry was for Que Lucian
Stewart. He was told that Stewart
was in the hospital, awaiting death
from old age.
Then he may die tonight, and l
will see him first, the General quietly
remarked. And then. with his aid, he
went directly to the hospital, and was
quickly by the cot OF the old man.
Stewart, don't you know me-; he
inquired in tender way, at the same
time extending his hand.
Stewart did not reply for fully one
minute, all the time holding the Cen
erals hand and scanning his features.
At last a ray of light broke over his
countenance, and with smile be said.
"Yes, l remember you. You are the
young Lieutenant who never smoked
before breakfast.
Here the two broke into IA laugh,
the heartiest laugh. perhaps, the old
invalid had enjoyed for a decade.
Stewart had been the chief of scouts,
when forty years ago McCook was
lighting Apaches on the frontier. The
General had not seen him since the war.
but showed his deep regard for his old
friends by remembering so humble a
comrade The remark ofthe old scout
referred to time when McCook. then
Lieutenant, and detail under Col.
St. Vrain, were chasing the Apaches.
They had struck hot trail. aud
had been on it thirty-six hours without
food. Fearing to wait to prepare
meal. for every minute was then pre-
cious, SO close was the trail. Col. ST.
Vrain determined to keep on the march.
Realizing the condition of his men and
officers, he had given permission for
the men to partake of such rations as
they could in the saddle. and turning
to his Lieutenant. ne remarked:
''McCook, have cigar?''
mo, thank You sir, was the quick
response. Il never smoke befor |
breakfast. San Francisco Post.

Enclosures in Letters.

How many people know how TO send
stamp in letter: Nine people out
of ten stick it so carefully down that
the recipient always loses his temper
and generally the stamp. in the effort
to release it. 1t is really more exas-
perating than when the sender forgets
altogether the stamp he should have
inclosed, for then. at least. it is not
wasted. Even the mostextravagant of
us seldom have souls above saving a
stamp, for it is, strangely. far dearer
to us than the &c it represents. The
tenth person sends it loose, which is
we'll enough, providingit does not slip
out, unseen, and vanish, as these
totally depraved small things have a
trick of doing. The proper way is a
very simple one. Cut with a sharp
penknife two parallel Sits at the top
of your letter, and slip in yourstamps,
which will thus travel as safely as if
in special paper case.
Perhaps you have been in country
village where money orders and postal
notes are unknown. and, for some rea-
son, it becomes necessary to change in
a letter. Cut piece of light card
board the size of the envelope, and
from this cut circular pieces the size
of your coins. Insert the coins. and
paste a strip of paper across one or
both sides.-Demorest's Magazine.
