The rich and powerful Duke of Hoaso kawa onoe invited a celebrated bronze-worker to his ooiftt and asked him to make sword-guard of the finest ahakudo (gold-bronze) to be ornamented with an autumn landscape aud an ox in the foreground It waa juat after the usual new -year's festival of nine days when no one does any thing Ilka labor of any kind that the artist arrived He went to work with a will mixed his metals made his design a passed on to the engraving and Inlaying and In three or fear months had hla sword-guard nearly completed In fact with the exception of the figure of the ox to be inlaid it was done to tho full satisfaction of the Duke who whenever he Inspected it was more than pleased- But 'here all at onoe the artist waa seized with a fit of laziness Instead of completing his task ha took hla book hla pipe and tobacco and day after day want out Into a green lane leading Into tha oountry and sitting down in the grass ly tha roadside amused himself smoking leading and looking at the countrymen coming Into town with their horses end cattle Month after month passed by the artist drawing hla allowanoa with tha moat praiseworthy regularity spending his days in such idleness and hla evenings in drinking wine with hie colleagues as waa the custom Tha summer had thus passed by and the yoar had well gone Into September when at last tha patience was-slightly raffled Ordering the artist to be called into his presence he asked him why for nearly five months he had not even made a pretense of completing the order intrnst-odtohlm "I could not your Highness" wae the reply "And why could you nott" 'was the query Highness asked me to make An autumn landscape with an ox In the foreground I had never made such a combination before When it came to making tha animal knew not whether the expression of its face in autumn might not be different from what it is at other sea-eons of the year I have been out to where the herds of cattle come in watching them through the late spring through summer and now when autumn was begun and it waa necessary that I should do so I am nearly ready now and in a short time will complete your order" Shintaro Shosho Duke of Bizen tent Hanabusa Itcho the celebrated artist of Yeddo a request fora picture the subject to be a flight of hototogiau winging their way across the face of the full moon The request was accompanied by purse of five hundred gold rio (dollars) 8uch a commission at that time could be considered folly equal to a Vanderbilt or an Aster nowadays sending a request for a picture to a Meissonler or a Hunkacsy accompanied by a preliminary check for twenty-five thousand dollars The Duke waited a full year for his picture and when no picture and no reply came as a gentlo hint that he waa still waiting he sent the artist another purse of five hundred gold rio This time the answer was not delayed It came at once and with it were returned the one thousand gold rio The artist replied that ever since receiving hie command he had watched at the period of every fall moon for a good opportunity 1 to make the requisite study from nature but had not yet snccoeded in bring fortunate enough to do so It was Impossible to say when he would be able to do it it might take him five ten or fifteen years It might bo that he would never see a flight of such birds in such a way as to be able to reproduce them correctly aud he therefore returned the magnificent present Hq would make it his business to diligently watch for such an opportunity and if it came would make the drawing at once and send it to the Duke who could then remunerate him as he chose For many years I lived la the outskirts of Yokohama in the Japaneao portion of tho town on a hill where the official residences are located At the foot of It was a large Government coal-yard where hundreds of coolies worked twelve hours a day carrying baskets of coal on their backs from the yard to the boats in tho canal opposite- Their wages were from twenty-two to twenty-eight cento a day paid every day When they quit work a number of itinerant peddlers were waiting for them on the street to get a part of their earnings And what had they for salat Fruit of course and sweetmeats etc but a full third of them probably offered flowers bite of painted pottery -(often badly 'cracked and broken) illustrated 'books pictures and sketches Hundreds of times have I seen a group of two or three coal-begrimed coolies discuss the merits of a sketch ooeting two or three cents or of a painted broken pot costing half aa much MIMICRY IN SNAKESl A llarmlsM African Reptile WhleA Looks Precisely like the Berg-Adder Cape Town Cor Natural A carious fact has been latoly brought to my notice by a friend of mine Mr Oakley In connection with the JkuypAUt seotsr Ita or egg-eating snako the eter" of the Dutch which if not already rell known may prove of interest to some of your readers The specimen obtained by Mr Oakley was eanght at Hout bay some twenty' miles from Cape Town and la about three feet in length aud its size marking and color bear sufficient resemblance to those of the berg adder (Clot Am atropo Lb in) to be easily mistaken for that snake It also has keeled scales generally characteristic at the Cepe of venomous species Its head has however the long lacertlne shape distinctive here of harmless snakes but when aroused and alarmed or Irritated it flattens out until it assumes the usual vfpariue shape of the "dub" in a playing card It then coils as for a spring erects its bead with every appearance of anger produoea a hissing noise with its scales not unlike the hiss of a puff adder or cobra and darts forward as if to strike its fangs into its foe and in every way exactly simulates the motions of an irritated berg adder 1 This snake haa However neither fangs nor teeth (which indeed would not bo required for egg-swallowing) and is not poisonous a fact which was placed beyond doubt by Mr Oakley repeatedly placing hie finger in the mouth This seems a dear instance of mimicry of another aperies for de fonslve purposes but I am not aware of another instance among ophidians Saadrlaads -Little

About aa Abused Family' of Birds I Ipdlaaa Where Oudredt ef ids of Them Coo(M(sU Klsht Hew They Assist the Farmer Oevernsaeah lladlaaapolls JooraaL 1 said Prof John Collett Mthe moot abused bird Is the crow at least among farmers He Is not a specially attractive bird In bin somber funeral-director drees nor la ha to be admired either in hla walk or conversation His rolling low-comedy gait as be mores along the corn rows does not at all comport with his anit of conventional black aud it may be that this also assists In bringing him Into bad reputeL Every farmer aud every boy hates the crow and all ornithological crimes are charged against him careful student of ornithology publishes aa matter for wonder the statement that the crow can count as high as nine and that is ns high as he can get In mathematics 1 think the crow can do better than that 1 believe him to be' a Mrd of usefulness and great sagacity At the same time I am aware that It requires a man with some of the stuff In him of which martyrs are made to make that assertion About Indianapolis there is only an oecti aional specimen of this bird They are more abundant in Southern Indiana and near the larger watercourses During the day time they aro scattered about the country solitary in pain or In small flocks At night their congregation al instincts gather them in large flocks Upon the Wabash latitude forty degrees every man and child knows that the crows come from tho west in the morning and following Horace advice go Weak in the evening Following a column of fifty 100 1000 or 100000 crown in their westward Journey they may be traced to A point near Newman Station oa the Ik ft railroad where aa nightfall comas on the sky seems filled with them The trees and ground are covered with them until they can only be ineuured in eighty-acre lota An inspection will satisfy the observer that there are millions there You will find that from an area of at least 130 miles square the crows havo come to this point It might almost be called a national assembly of crowdom By their associated notion by their bravery at times in defense of each other and especially by their noisy communing together it will be seen that these birds have au intelligent intercourse with each other and work together for the common good An examination of the surrounding country shows that the crows come not only from the east but from all points of the compass to this control point In getting to this congress when 4 strong west wind prevails the tact of this awkward flyer la worth noticing It ii some- times very laughable Ho trill fly dose to the ground taking ad vantage of the clumps of bushes and other 'protection from the wind In the morning at daybreak the rookery dissolves and scarcely an individual will be left in the vicinity of tho great assembling place Tho younger and more! active crows go to a greater distance from the rookery than tho older ones for their daily food The people who live neighboring to the great rookery find that the crows do no harm and do not disturb them Farmers' occasionally claim that crows pull up corn If a crow knows thore IS a grub-worm under a hill or stalk of corn and his keen eyes are quick to taka in afi the Indications he may destroy the hill to get the worm but without the removal of this worm the stalk would produce no grain Instead of a peat and injury to the farmer the crow' Is the agriculturist's benefactor and pro tec tor The crow has but one bad habit Be la fond of eggs and will pick open that hells to eat them He always particular about their marketable quality how-1 over Sometimes tho grab-worm la so abun- daat as to present millions to the acre and to destroy crops of corn and other tender rooted vegetation The grub will cut the roots of blue and other grasses at a depth! of two or two and a half inebes below the surf aco so that it la totally separated from! below and the injury is one that may lut for more than one year When this la tho case not only animals such aa the opossum and the pole-cat will travel for miles to: this grub-infested area but crows will1 come in great flocks for the grub le a great delicacy to him Onoe the portion ef Edgar County HL known as Ashmore's Grove' was visited with grub-worms In overs whelming numbers The crow family camel when the feast was ready- Rev Ashmore! assured me that a oount as far aa practice bis of a certain space on the column of flight and computation for time for foe re-' malnder Indicated the number of crows to be between £30000 and SOOOUOl The neigh-' bor boys thought It fine sport to drive the crows away and took much delight In do-! Ing aa Ths crows left and the grub-' worms increased In number until the pro-' Auction of this rich prairie- was- reduced from fifty bushels of earn to the acre down to eight or ten bushels It was resolved to Invite the crows back and to protect them Food waa plaeed out for the sable foragers They came beck aad remained for years et this' point until tho grabs and other Insects da-' tractive to vegetation almost disappeared The absence of tho crows cost that neighborhood nearly half a million dollars Now that region produces corn at the rate of from fifty to sixty bushels to the sera and' it would be difficult to persuade the farmer of twenty yean ago that the crow 1a hot hla friend There is evidently a form of government among crows and soma have plaeea of authority In a flock thenars always some on guard ready to give signal of approach ing danger and in flying their flight appears to be directed by command I recollect onoe seeing a fleck ef crows homeward bound lata in ths afternoon They wan on an airdlne to their place of rest when suddenly the sun became eclipsed by the Interposition of the moon It soon became a total eclipse Then wen strange cries by the leader as the darkness spread and as It became total the command was querulous' Instantly each crow chose a limb To me the actions of the birds wen even non intonating than the oclipse Not toss ridiculous wen tho movements of tho crows as tho oclipse rolled away They wen voluble in their expressions of astonishment probably declaring it the shortest night they ever experienced After shaking out their feathers greatly bewildered' they took up their flight westward and disappeared Seng that TreveataO a Bltr ikoaver Neva Thomas Bait the artist visiting Denver vu talking the other day about the night
