RflM lr* a, the rendered Vnsn- bonds Exist Side by Side and Ply Tli.lt Trieks ot InJilsIlr In Com. 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.

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.
