The jinril1isha men in the Far East are invariably young, and although seldom more than 5 feet inches to 5 feet inches in height they are remarkably strong and possess great powers of endur- ance. On the paved roads they spin along at a rapid rate. A jlnrikisha man will think nothing of travelling forty miles a day over a tolerably level road at a rate of about four miles an hour.

EW DOCKSTADER, Thatcher and other modern minstrels may live en- L. shrined in the hearts of generations,
 but they probably will never be per petuated in sculpture in a church like the gentlemen here shown. Thls particular pillar is in St. Mary's Church, Beverley. Yorkshire, England, and is inscribed, ''Thys pyllor made by the menystyrls." and the capital is ornamented with the efligies of five minstrels. dressed in the fashion of the times, with short coats, red stockings and yellow girdles and socks. They formerly held musical instruments in their hands. but these are no more, like the winds that blew yesteryear. The pil- lars and arches were built by the differ ent families in the district. but this was built by the Minstrels' Guild. But now, alackaday! the minstrel has no guild. though he may own an automobile and have a fat bank account.

Animals That Will Not Drink.

X 1 1ATURALISTS have discovered many IN animals which seem to need no water | Sor which drink only at rare intervals.
 There is certain breed of gazelles which never drink, and the llamas of Patagonia live for years without taking water. There is a particular class of cat tie near Losere, in France that rarely touches water. but in spite of this fact these cattle give milk of a rich quality, from which excellent cheese is made Many naturalists have the theory that hares do not drink or that water is not a necessity for them and that the dew on the grass is sufficient for their needs.
