WILD ASS IN HIS DESERT HOME.
High Spirited and untamable, OF.
fIcuIt to Capture.

The rare and beautiful leather made
from the skin OF the wild ass is never
likely to become vulgar, since the sup
ply is so small and the difficulties Of
tapping the animals so great The
wild ass is almost the anithesie OF
domestic species. High spirited and
untamable, one is as remarkable for
its speed as the other for its slow
ness.
The wild ass 10 of creamy white.
shading to fawn on the back with
darker stripe running from wither to
tail and corresponding marking on
the forehead. The eyes are as bright
as gazelle's and the legs shapely
and as long as deer's, while the head
is finely moulded. the ears being short
er than those of the domestic donkey.
1t inhabits great salt marsh In
which stretches for miles in dry sea-
sons sheet Of glaring sand, with
here and there a scattered oasis OF
priekly thorn and bitter grasses. In
this wilderness of salt and sand
roams one of the most beautiful Of
animals not to be surpassed In speed
by the fieetest horses.
1t Is almost impossible to get with
in rife range of a wild ass. They
are extraordinarily shy and make for
the centre of the marsh at the ap-
proach of man. The only way to pro-
cure specimen is In the spring, wnen
the young are only few months old
Then the dam separates from the herd
and brings her foal to the edge Of
the salt desert adjoining more fertile
land for the sake of food for her pro-
geny and for shelter in time OF dam
ger. Then the Kathiawaris, mounted
on their feetest horses, lay their plans
to trap these beautiful animals. Re-
lays of horsemen are placed at con-
venient spots, and one or two Of their
number make determined dash for
the dam, who. to divert attention
from her little one, runs OF Ia an
opposite direction. The rest OF the
party ride swiftly but cautiously to
the spot where the chase began. The
young one, seeing the enemy In pufs
suit Of its mother, emerges from the
thicket where it has been hiding and
is at once pursued. The huntsmen,
Joined and aided by their companions,
succeed in turning and sometimes In
running down the foal to a standstill.
A cloth is then thrown over the head
of the animal, which, timid and be-
wildered, allows itself to be captured,
but not until 1t has exhausted many
Of its pursuers, for even at q tender
age its fieetness is amazing.
Wild asses have been held in semi
captivity on the edge of this desert,
but have never been known TO allow
any one to mount them. One pecu-
iiarity about these animals is the rare
ness Of males, There is. never more
than one to herd. and 1t Ia rare to
find male among the young onss
captured.

Prince Whan,s Spirit Parrot.

Min Yung Whan, the Corean prince
who killed himself as protest against
the Japanese protectorate. lived in
magnificent palace of his own, which
came down to him by hereditary
right, and was surrounded with an
army of retainers. lighting men, slaves
and women He had a table of beaten
silver. crusted with the most precious
sapphires, and his state dress was SO
heavy with gorgeous jewels that It
took two men to lift it over his head.
He carried with him on his travels
a great white parrot. with rose-colored
lining on his wings. The parrots beak
was perforated and on either side was
set with priceless sapphires.
The ignorant natives believed that
the great white parrot was Min Yung
whan's familiar spirit. and that when
he died, Min Yung would die, too.
When Min Yum Whan's body was
found lying on the purple cushions OF
his couch. the great white parrot few
screaming out of the window and dis
appeared in the palm trees.

Modern Miniature Painting.

Character, and freedom from con-
vention In pose and costume, distin-
guishad the modern mode. Present
workers aim to set forth the same
breadth Of feeling In the confines or
their ivory surfaces that oil painters
place on their wider canvas. The de-
sire to eliminate detail without bru-
tally, and to hold lasting qualities
with personality and dignity. has sup
planted the search for affected odds
and ends.
The miniature painters of today
learn caution in their guest for novel;
tN though modern, yet by no means
cheap animation inspires their SINGERS
purpose and creative ability. They
believe that their art should not de-
velop. into a matching of eyesight and
magnifying glasses, nor should techni-
que become finical when meant to be
delicate To their understanding OF
the problem, grace includes dignity
in conception Of form and color
A ''pretty' miniature need not be
thing OF beauty, yet the new school
realizes that ''prettiness" in its best
sense should be regarded, and coase-
quentIy the results never deliberately
appear severe. The contracted field
camands care of composition with COT
ors that are simple and orderly in ar
iangement-
To replace ingenious eighteenth
century cloudy effects the present art
lists substitute ordinary garments and
definite backgrounds. Though 1t may
reasonably be believed that many
more difficulties stand in the way ofsre-
producing texture with water colors
on ivory than with oils on canvas, yet
today the miniaturists have succeed
ed so we'll in their efforts in the FOR
mer dirsctson as to have their results
pass without comment
When all is said and done. how
