A long ride oD aJapanesc pack horse is
an epoch in the life Of any traveller. AS
the animals are shod with straw. and as
the roads are very rough, they never at
tempt anything beyond a walk even with
the most violent inducement. The trav-
sller is perched high up in hard pillion,
in sort Of valley, the sides Of which are
composed Of his luggage, spare hats, shoes,
girths, and straps rolled into bundles; his
legs are doubled up so that his knees touch
his chin, and the sensation is like that Of
being on the back Of a camel. Thus
placed he must perform his journey, or as
an alternative he may be driven to the
kago, or litter. This may either be a
basket slang on pole, or regular box
with doors and sliding shutters. The lit
ters Of men Of rank, such as once were
frequent enough in the streets Of Yedo. but
which have gone the way Of 50 many rem
nants of old Japan, were often small rooms
gorgeoasly decorated and painted, and re-
quiring score Of coolies to carry them;
but the litters which the ordinary traveller
must Use arc ef the basket type, and as
proyocants Of suffering and misery are sec
ond only 10 the pack horse. To the na-
tive, whose normal position when not stand. !.
ing or sleeping, is squatting on the heels
OF his feet, confinement Of several hours
in Kago, with scarcely change Of posi-
tiou, is no hardship, but to the European
the agony of sitting cramped up in the
space Of an armchair, with legs curled up,
tucked in or huddled together, for an in
definite period, must be actually suffered
to be appreciated. Temporary relief may
be obtained by sitting with the legs hang
ing over the sides; but in this case they
either Craze the gronnd or come in contact
with the huge boulders with which the
road is Uttered; by stretching them out in

or by stopping altogether aud walking
which Means loss Of time, but which sths
only eihcacious method of escaping tht
pains Of cramp. The Kago is, however
much more rapid than the pack horse, ans
far more ecoBomical. The coolies are well
trained, sure-fooied, stalwart fellows--as .
rule, four to litter covering easily theil
five or six miles 40 hour, and resting bul
rarely. The motion, however, is very i'm
pleasant, and is apt, like that Of a swing
to make the occupant feel sick.
