The Japanese Postman

THE Japanese postman is dressed in a suit of blue cloth with a wide hat and straw shoes. He carries the mail bag under his arm or in a little two-wheeled cart. He is always trotting or running. He carries the mail from station to station, never stopping till he meets another postman, who, in his turn, receives the mail and runs on. In this way the mail is carried to all parts of the empire and it is getting larger and larger as the people understand more and more the work that is being done for them.—Gospel in all Lands.
