mon—Larceny For the I.QV© of It.
It Is quite impossible for any one
who. has not sojourned In the “Land
of Regrets” to Appreciate the Impor
tant part played by crows in tbe dally
life of tbie Anglo-Indian. India with
out ltn crows Is unthinkable; It coaid
only be likened to London without its
fogs. Wherever hntaan beings have
their abodes there are raultltudea of
corvidae to be found, for the Indian
crew Is an Inseparable appendage of
town, and village. Two species exist
side by side In India, tbe great black
bird known to Anglo-Indians as tbe
corby and the smaller gray necked spe
cies. Both birds lead lives of almleaa
vagabondage; both are scoundrels of
tbo most pronounced typo; both are
stnnera beyond redemption: Did tbo
black crow exist alono it would be
held up as tbo emblem of all that la
evil and mlscblovous. As things are, Its
Iniquities pale into Insignificance be-
sldo those of Its gray .necked
Tlw very norao of the latter bird Is
sufficient to raise tbo Ire of the right
eous, man.. To call tbo arch villain of
tbe bird world “tbe splendid” is men
mockery of words. Jerdon, tbo famous
Indian naturalist, "often regrets that
such an Inappropriate spcclflc name
should have been applied to thU spe
cies, for It tends to bring Into ridicule
among tbo unscientific the system of
nomenclature.”
Tbo Indian crow Is able- to utUIxo
moat things. A Calcutta bird baa
made Itself famous- for all time by
constructing a nest at tbo wires used
to secure the corks of soda water bot
tles. Bombay Is very teutons of Cal
cutta, and tbe crows, of coarse, ape
thnlr betters. The Bombay blfids de
termined not to bo outdone .by tbe
Calcutta corvldnc. Accordingly one of
tho former promptly built her nest of
gold and sllven spectacle frames stol
en from Messrs. Lawrence ft Mayo’s
factory. Tho valuo of tbo materials
used to the construction of this nest
was estimated at £20. But crows will
appropriate things for which they can
have no possible use. They commit
larceny for tbe love ot tbe thing. Tbe
Indian crow Is tbo Incarnate spirit of
mischief. Tbe bird will wantonly tear
a leaf out of a book lying open ou
the tablo. My gardener, adds Mr. De-
war, puts every morning fresh flowers
In tbe vases. This operation Is per
formed on tbe veranda. One day tho
man was called away from his work
Cor a couplo of minutes. During bis
absence a crow swooped down nisi suc
ceeded to faking a beukfnl of flowers
and breaking tbe vnse in which they
were, placed. A retired colonel of my
acquaintance who Uvea In tbo Hima
layas Is a very entbUBlnStlc gardener,
and tbo crows are tbo bane of Ills lira.
They root up bis choicest seedlings,
sever tbe heeds of his most superb
flowers from tbs stalk and fly away
with,tbo Httlo pieces of pnper which
be places In cleft sticks to mark where
seed have been sown.
But It ts la towns that tbo Iniquity
of tho crows reaches Its maximum.

os when annoying tbo inmates. They
know at once when n person is too ill
to move. Tho consequence is that it
has been found necessary to havo rnndo
tor gill tbe tables wire covers which
protect articles placed at the bedside
from tbo ravages ot tbo "treblo Anted
birds." I have seen a Madras crow
quietly helping Itself to tbo contents of
basket which an ok! woman was
carrying on ber bond. Tho bird was
possessed of sufficient intelligence to
refrain from alighting on tbe basket,
nod It dono so Its presence would prob
ably hnvo been detected. It flapped
along Just above tbe top of tbe basket
keeping pace with tbe woffiau, and so,
unpercelred by her, made a-meal oil
tbo contents. Tbe knavish tricks of
crows are by no means conflucd to hu
man brings. Aa Colonel Cunningham
truly says, "Any animal pots arc, of
course', even more than inanimate ob
jects, subject to their attentions, and
unless In wholly Inaccessible places nre
constantly liable to havo tbelr food
purloined and tbelr Uvea rendered a
burden by persistent and Ingenious per
secution.” I ones possessed a grey
hound which used to be fed in tbo gar
den. A man bad to stand over tbo dog
while it wot feeding; otherwise the
crows would devour flic greater portion
tbe meal. Their plan of campaign
wgs simple and effective. Tbea soon
learned the dag’s feeding hour and as
drew near would take up a position
any convenient tree. Tbe moment
tbe greyhound began to eat a crow
would swoop down and peck viciously
Its tall. Tbe dog- would, of coureo,
turn on tbe bird, and tho others would
tbls opportunity to snatch away
some of the food. Tbo process would
repeated until the meal was over.
