NO MORE TEMPERATE CLASS CAN EXIST.
At the end of a long run a cup of pale tea, a whiff at the little brass pipe, and perhaps a slice of bread dipped in treaole, start them off again, fresh and lively, for another stiff stretch. The men who took us to Nikko from Utsunomiya ran the entire 25 miles in four hours with ease, though much of it was up-hill, and would have returned, had we desired it, on the same day. A " jinrikisha " man, in good case, and fairly paid, is not at all afraid of 40 or 60 miles day after day. — Sib Edwin Abnold, in Scribner for January.
