FRANCE AND GER MANY.

Each Country Thinks the Other In
significant, But
The population of Germony is 81,
500, GOO and it has increased by H.
500, 600 since 1870. The figures are
:, ..o'tainly very striking. 1T must be
,.en,a cred, of course, that the odd
/ Zoo GOO ought to be deducted as
representing the population OF
Alsace-Lorraine. But even taking
this into account, the fact remains
that whereas Germany, with a
population to-day of 81, 800, 600,
against Frances 38, 343, 1872, has put
O,OO0, 600 on her population in
twenty-four years. her neighbor in
same period is not more than e.
900, 600 souls to the good. The
figures are even more suggestive
than they look at first sight, when
it is borne in mind that while only
$500 Frenchmen emigrated in 1892
(the latest year for which statistics
are availa ble), as many as 116, $50
Germans left the fatherland to settle
in foreign lands. Moreover, against
mere half million of foreigners in
the German empire there are l.
$50, 600 scattered through France.
All of which bears out completely
what the Westminster has said
again and again, namely, that if by
any chance our neighbors did take
to colonizing in Tunis, madagascar
and Tonquin, the places which they
left vacant in France would have TO
be filed up by Belgians, Italians
! and Germans.

SAFETY IN CLEANLINESS.
Japanese Gods Protect Only Nice,
Clean People.

The reason why this idea of I'M
cleanliness was associated with the
idea of dangerousness was in my
opinion because uncleanness was
thought to be the enemy Of the gods,
and the gods cannot be where any
uncleanness exists The gods are
clean and pure, and those who are
not clean and pure cannot but forfeit
the protection of the gods. Those
who are not protected by the gods
can easily be attacked and injured
by the evil and nnclean spirits. and
hence the idea of danger came to be
associated with the idea of unclean-
ness. This is perhaps made palmer
by some concrete case. When I was
a young boy the custom of eating
bee began to spread. As blood was
regarded as unclean, and also as
Japan had been very strong agri-
cultural country, there was a very
deep-rooted disinclination to eat
beef. In this, of course, one has to
rec ognize the influence of the vege-
tartan 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 religious scruple.
My father was one of those who
kne W its taste, and so now and then
we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did we eat itP We did
not eat it inside of the house. We
cooked and ate it in the open air,
and in cooking and eating we did not
use the ordinary utensils but used
the special ones kept for that pur-
pose. 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 uten-
sis, which might be used in making
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, as he did usually,
for he knew he was unclean and could
not approach the gods. Then my
mother, who did not and could not
eat beef until very recently, did
these things, and I, who used to par
take of the new dainty dish, often
went to bed feeling as if I were IN
clean and subject to dangers. -From
