What Boys DO In Japan.

~ bright lad from Japan says that on his
fathers pace-which Is on a large plateau
! surrounded by high hills-is IN artificial
fish pond hi it are great many fish of
species he has not seen here, thut arc about
| foot long, and very beautiful in color and
form, They are as playful and as tame as
tho kittens on our hcarths. One of his ia
vorltc anluscments was going to this pond
and knocking OH the edge of the tank with
some hard substance to make noise, when
every head would be turned in the direction
of the sound, and every fin employed in
making for him, the fish expecting some
treat from bis hand. If, to tease them, he
threw nothing In at first, but put his empty
hand into the water with his fingers all
spread out, they would all gather round it
and seize his thumb and fingers in their
mouths, till he had as many fish rs lie had
thumbs and fingers. playfully swapping and
do. But this paradise Of the Japanesd fish
was often r,ldcly broken in upon, for 1t was
not kept expressly as plaything for boys,
but was the source which supplied the fish
for tho table. Whenever fish is wanted for
the dinner, the cook goes to the tank and
knocks, and when the poor unsispcclng
things swim up to her, she catches such of
them as please her. and before they know
where they arc going, she has them in the
pot or pan on the fire. '!'I H".
