HEDGEHOG and Viper.

A resident of Versailles. Nj. Guignet,
sends to Nature vivid account of Il
duel he saw between a hedgehog and
a viper. The two enemies knew very
we'll at first sight who was who, and
eyed each other as if they knew
moments inattention would be fatal.
The viper was the first to get tired of
gazing, and it began to glide away.
Just then the hedgehog rushed for the
yiper's tail, and, having nailed it fast
with it's teeth, it rolled itself up. The
hedgehog was very careful, however,
not to cut the tail off. The viper
curled back and delivered furious as
saults on its aggressor, wrestling and
rolling with the curled up hedgehog all
over the place. At length the snake,
wounded in a hundred places, died.
The hedgehog began it's repast on the
tail of it's victim and was careful not
to eat the head.

pictures In Japanese Temples.

The votive pictures (yema) of Japa-
nese temples are All outgrowth of an
old custom. In ancient times departed
warriors were honored by offerings of
sake and rice placed before their tab
let's and tombs. AS the idea gained
ground that their spirits lowered
around their graves besides food GER
tain number of spotless white horses
were provided with which these spir-
itual worthless might take recreation.
So it became the custom in wealthy
Shinto temples to keep one of these
sacred animals. There were many
shrines that could not afford to buy a
white horse, so the next best thing was
to get picture of one: hence the name
yema picture horse, from We "a pic
ture) and una Ga horse).
The use Of the yema was first con-
fined to the Shinto religion, but the
Buddhists took kindly to the custom.
The word yema has long lost it's prim-
tive meaning and has Eecome a ge-
neric name for every picture hung up
in Shinto shrines or Buddhistic tenn
pies.
