J|NRIKISHA COOLIES
IMPORTANT PART THEY PLAYIN JAPANESE WAR PROGRAMME.
Every Regiment Provided with Corps of These Strong, Nimble Men for Packing and Haul
 ing and Heavy Work.

The Japanese army is unique in it's possession of a corps of workers which lessens the demands upon the fighting men of the army and makes their bur dens lighter, thus giving them greater mobility and swifter movement, and saves their strength for the actual con dict on the battlefield. No other mili- tary organization in the world has a similar service, and this is probably due to the fact that no other nation has it's jinrikisha men from which to form such valuable army adjunct. For centuries the method of travel in the little island kingdom of Japan has been by means of man power. Before the inventive genius of an American gave to the Japanese the convenient and easy carriage on wheels called jim rikisha, the kago, or basket car, was used. These were carried by two or four men. -.
 Thus there came to exist in the na- tion class of coorie labor which was innured to carrying heavy burdens and trained at covering long distances in incredibly short space of time. There are between 50,000 and 100000 of these men in Japan, Tokio alone being cred ited with having 10000. The opening of an electric road in that city has worked considerable hardship to the jinrikisha men, who up to the intro duction of the modern method of trans portation had been the sole means of conveyance. ~ . al.-
 The outbreak of the war has come just in the nick of time. While the jim rikisha men were mournfully watch ing the trolley cars go whizzing by, carrying many a fare which they had been wont to receive; while they were standing idly by and wondering where the undermining of Japan would land them, the call from the army came. And they are eager to go. The spirit of patriotism burns deep in Japan. From the lowliest subject of the mika- do up to the royalty which surrounds his person there is love of country and devotion which makes the little nation

PRIMITIVE FARMING ]
SPAIN HOPEFULLY OUT OF DATE IN AGRICULTURAL METHODS.
Labor Is Far Too Cheap in That Coun- try to Justify the Purchase of Labor-Saving Ma
 chinery.

Spain continues to disregard her nat ural advantages in agriculture as we'll as in other directions. Agriculture is too often left to the poor to eke out per- carious existence, unsupported by those who ought to be the first to devote their capital to the improvement of the soil. Irrigation. too, is neglected, and prac- tically the only irrigation works are those constructed by the Moors during their occupation of the country, which have brought such prosperity to the dis tricts of Valencia and Granada.
 The cost of hand labor in all parts of Spain is very cheap and does not seem to justify the farmer owning very small farms using even the modern blow. How ever, on some of the larger farms agri- culturists not only can but do use labor saving machinery of the most recent types. r.

aces its big and formidable

unit as it faces it's big and formidable foe, Russia
 The jinrikisha corps is regular part ot every Japanese regiment, and these men go for two reasons: First, because they are true patriots, end second, be- cause the service which is asked of them is exactly what they are fitted for. Generation after generation has followed the same line of business and 8 race of strong, 1.-the men has been the result. And the presence of these men iii the army is an addition which would prove invaluable to any army.
 With his blanket and his lantern the jinrikisha man joins his regiment, and attends to the packing and the haul- ing of the accoutreme ents and baggage of the soldiers, and he>does the heavy work which would lessen the fighting powers of the soldiers. The remark able mobility of the Japanese army is recognized by all the powers whose armies operated alongside the Japan csc troops. Not even the soldiers of the United States. who excell those of any other nation but Japan. could keep up with the Japanese troops in the march upon Peking, during the receh eht troubles in China, when all the princi- pal powers had a fighting force in the Celestial kingdom.
 The reports of the campaign tell of how the American soldier, loaded down like a pack horse, broke down or threw away his load as was the case at San tiago, while the nimble soldier of the Japland scampered here and there and came up at the end of each march as fresh and smiling as their tireless lead CT, Gen. Fukushima. The secret of it was that the Japanese coolie, or jim rikisha man, did the coolie work, and formed the transport corps which was mobile and swift as compared with the American four-mule army wagon trains or the British India tonga cart service The human pony could look after himself, and when there was a stream to cross or mud slough to argue with two coolies could take the jinrikisha on their shoulders and with cat-like tread pass over and leave the irate teamsters hours behind.
 And this is the adjunct to the Jap anese which is going to help fight the battles with the slower moving Rus sian troops. The Japanese army will he able to strike blow and get away before the Russians can bring their guns to bear upon them, and when the Russians get into action, the Japs, like the proverbial flea, will be in some other place of safety.

TYPICAL FLOWING SCENE IN SPAIN

TYPICAL FLOWING SCENE IN SPAIN. small and labor extremely cheap, the sale of labor-saving agricultural ma chinery would be almost impossible Labor is so cheap that there is not much inducement to lay out money on what is looked upon as costly machinery.
 The daily wage of a laborer in the fields varies from 1.50 to pesetas (12 to 70 ce9ts), according to the locality and the season of the year. The landed pro prietors also take little interest in their estates, which are parcelled out and sub let to small farmers in return for pay ment in kind. These farmers are, as a rule, entirely dependent on the result of the crops for their Livelihood and have no capital to spend on Improvements. The country, too, is mountainous, and there is no wide extent of arabic land
 In the province of Almeria the farms are small and the area suitable for cul- tivation is extremely limited. The single vega is small in acreage and can only be used for the production of gar den truck Again, a great deal of the available soil which might possibly be employed for the raising of wheat and barley is given over to grapes, and these form the great source of income to the farmers.
 Most of the wheat and barely used in this province comes from the district of Granada and Jaen. Even with more attention paid to legitimate farming, modern implements would be of no use, owing. to the mountainous conditions and the entire absence of any large farms. In the interior of the province the mountain sides are spotted here and there with small cultivated spots, usu- ally barley or wheat, where it would

seem as if man or beast had hard time in working
 The land in Asturias is divided into small holdings and farmed by the own CTS and their families, outside help be- ing very seldom required. In cases where help is needed laborers are hired at 2.50 to pesetas (37.5 to 60 cents) per day. Modern agricultural implements are in this province coming into use, and the primitive methods which have pre- vailed are gradually giving way before the newer and better methods.
 In 1868 8 law was promulgated with a view to inducing capitalists to found agricultural colonies in different parts of the country for developing it's natural resources. This law allows all imple- ments used by these colonies in cultivat- ing the soil, harvesting the crops, and preparing the fruit to be imported at the nominal duty of one peseta (1e.3 cents) per 100 kilograms (220.4 pounds)., Tn spite of the inducement thus offered, the scheme for establishing these farming colonies has not met with the response that was expected.
 Until 1900 modern agricultural ma chinery was practically unknown in this country, and reports from all parts of the agricultural districts show the larger farmers and experimental farms are all commencing to use modern machinery.

An old farmer, says the St. James Budget, once took tea with a for mer Duke and Duchess of Buc- cleuch at Drumlanrig castle, his grace's Drumfriesshire estate.
 His first cup of tea was gone al- most before the duchess had poured it out. Again and again his cup was passed along to the head of the table. At the sixteenth cup the duchess became uneasy about the supply on hand. 'sHow many cups do you take, John ?" she asked.
