— Japan is' singular among thft nations in having no' native Jews. It has, however a couple or hundred Hobrew families, who have emigrated from other countries, but at "tho present time Micro are no. organised Jewish communities, except at Nagasaki, whoro quite a romantic talc is attached to tho synagogue. Somo years ago a wealthy Gorman Jew of tho congregation married a native lady, who embraced the religion of her husband. The couple'lived h&ppily together until death, parted them; and then the sorrowing widow perpetuated , he:' husband's memory by contributing' tlio greater part of the funds for a handsome synagogue for tho Jews of the place. It is probable that within a few years Japan will have a,very larpo Jewish population. Every year the emigration returns from Russia, whoro there, are so many Jews, grows larger, and.in.tho future Japan may become the attraction instead of America. CLEMENT-GAHHAIID MOTOR AGENCY.
