JAPANESE MONKEYS. My cousin has a parasol stick on which three monkeys are carved. One has his paws covering his eyes ; those of the second stop his ears ; whilst the third places them over his mouth. This has been stated to mean that these animals can neither see, hear, nor speak evil, and I am told that there is a legend about this. For the legend, or for a statement where it can be found, I shall be much obliged. FRANK REDE FOWKE. 24, Netherton Grove, Chelsea, S.W.
