| OCR Text | Jap&iniese Jnirairnlkislhias TjORSES and draft animals of any kind are very scarce in Japan, and people In poor or even modorato circumstances muBt walk when they travel, or elso use a "JInriklsha." This Is u curious namo for a very simple contrivance con-trivance a two-wheeled gig, with very largo wheels, and rnado very light. Tho motive power is a native Japanese, who gets into tho shafts and pulls tho vehicle along at a lively rato. Thirty years ago tho Japanese had two ways of traveling. Ono was by bull-carts nnd tho other was by chair3 or baskets suspended between be-tween two poles and carried on tho shoulders of two men, and this mothod Is still In U3e where the roads ore very steep. Tho jinrlkisha was practically Introduced by tho first English settlers In Japan, w'ho brought out two-wheeled carriages with them, and the Jlnrlksha is simply a copy of theso on a small scale. p On good roads, a Jlnriklsha will keep up a rate of seven or eight miles ail hpur for several hours. "When tho loads are bad it Is customary to have two men, ono of whom pulls with a cord In front. Tho chargd for one man Is 10 sen an hour, which Is about 10 cents. If a person wishes to keep his carriage in Japan, he can do 60 very cheaply, tho rato for a Jlnriklsha and a man by the Teek being only about 52. In the country, tho rate is genoially charged according to the distance, and cost3 about a cent a mile. |
