RIDING IN A IlNRlKIsHA
Sensation Not Altogether Pleasant.
Though Almost Every One Seeks
the Experience.

When the European or American
tourist first lands In Japan he at once
demands a jinrikisha. Having read Of
IL and heard so much of 1t he wants
an immediate experience of 1t as soon
as he finds himself in the land of its
birth. Almost any day one may see a
procession of men and women, ashore
for day or two from steamer In
port, making their way up the crowded
thoroughfares Of Tokyo, sitting rather
awkwardly in their jinrikishas, trem
bling unbalanced over the axle. not
knowing whether the thing is going to
tip backward or fall forward, so loose
ly does the puller seem to hold the
shafts. The first time one gets into o
jinrikisha he always feels like a baby,
and this gawkish sensation coupled
with that Of the uncertainty of ones
position in balancing 1t, renders the
experience not quite so pleasant as
anticipated. But the only way for
comfort is to sit back at ones ease
and leave the responsibility to the man
who pulls it.-Japan Magazine.

The wonderful caves OF Ballamar,

scending into the earth. however. a
picture unfolds itself. Then come
many passages and at last the great

Bella was to be buried at four. AS

A peculiar headdress Is worn by the

over century ago. the natives we're
subjected TO much persecution. Their
religion was attacked. churches were
rified and the women and children mo.
Tested. This state of affairs so
grieved those deeply religious people
that they made solemn vow to wear
a hood of shame" for hundred
years. This period has now elapsed.
which perhaps accounts for the grad.

and the increasing numbers of women
who wear the --latest from Paris" and
generally follow European fashions.

No, he did not know what he should

they presented picture which, for
some reason to be found in the mystic

The prisoner continues to deny his
guilt The story he gives out 10 to

leaned II against tree.
He crossed the bridge and took

not often suffered from it herself, for

eulogy Of the victim.
THE sudden death OF Algernon Eth.

sense great shock to the community.
Though man of passive. rather than
active qualities. his scholarly figure,
long, lean and bowed, has been seen
too often in our streets not to be

why he should have become the
target of Fate is one of the mysteries
of life. His watch, which. aside from
his books, was his most valuable pos

any way with the tragic circumstances
OF his death is source of the deepest
regret to the unhappy donor"
