A JAPANESE LEGEND.
ORIGIN OF a strange Insect Found
Only In HimeIi.

ORIGIN OF a strange insect Found
Only In HimeJi.
LafcadiO Hearn gives curious ira
dition about a strange insect which Is
found only in Himeji. pretty little
town near the center of Japan. 1t
seems there once lived a rich noble In
q castle on the outskirts of the town
who was famous for the magniicence
OF his dishes, among which were ten
priceless bowls of solid gold. In his
employ was a maidservant OF good
family, whose name was O-Kiku, to
whom was intrusted the care of the
precious plate. but to her great despair
one day one of the gold dishes was
missing. She searched diligently in
vain, and, not knowing how to prove
her innocence. in her despair drowned
herself In a well, but her ghost returned
nightly to the spot and could be heard
co1nting the dishes slowly, with sobs,
-L.hi-mai, ni-mai, san-mai, yo-mai, GO
mai, rOku-mai, shichi-mai, hachi-mai,
ku-mai," mp to nine, when there would
follow loud, wailing cry, and the I'M
canny count began over again. At last
the uneasy spirit passed into the body
OF an insect whose head somewhat re-
sembles a ghost with long, tousled
hair. and in that part OF Japan it is
considered unlucky to cultivate the
chrysanthemum, as the girls name,
O-Kiku. means chrysanthemum.
