A LAND WITHOUT DOMESTIC
AMIN AIS.

Japan is a land without the domestic
animals. IL is this lack which strikes
the stranger so forcibly in looking upon
Japanese landscapes There are no
cows; the Japanese neither drink milk
nor eat meat. There are but few horses,
and these are imported mainly for the
use of the foreigners. The freight CARS
in the city streets are pulled and pushed
by coolies, and the pleasure carriages
are drawn by men. There are but
few dogs; and these are neither used as
watch dogs, beasts of burden, nor in
hunting, except by foreigners.
There are no sheep in Japan; and
wool is not used in clothing, silk and
Gotten being the staples. There are no
pigs; pork is an unknown article of
diet. and lard is not used in cooking.
There are no goats or mules or donkeys.
Wild animals there are, however, and,
in particular, bears Of an enormous
size. Popular Science News.
