Hawking in Persia.

a writer in the Cosmopolitan says
that in Persia the breeding and training
oil hawks is the business of & certain
class OF men who earn p-ecaricls liveli-
hood in that way. As ,tinerant trades
mon they wander through the streets of
TIE larger towns seeking whom they
Fay sell one of their falcons to. There
must be quite number of these men;
should guess about enc thousand in the
whole country. But when they make a
sale. they can afford to lire off the pro-
ceeds OF it for year at least; for, With
their frugal habits, fifty to one hun
dred toman (seventy-fpe dollars to one
hundred and fifty dollars) are enough to
keep large family on for that length
of time; and thai is WI at a we'll trai n ed
hawk costs. Birds are sold occasionally
as high as two hundred toman. These
hawkers will stand at the entrance to a
famous mosque or rear the Kings or
Governors palace, having their bird
for they rarely have more than
one to sell on their fist and
thus Offering him for sale to all
passers-by. They will thus often watch
and wait for weeks; and when they
finally become convinced that they can
not sell them there they will wander
of to some other town.
For any enc who pays them q email
gratuity, they will show off the skill of
their bird. Letting pigeon fly Up on
square OF in front of the city gates,
they will take the hood off from be
fore the hawks brilliant orbs, then,
animating himwith short. sharp CRY,
they viii Point upward, and tie hawk
will rise, rise, way above the poor little
pigeon Then, swooping down Upon
it, the hawk will bring the pigeon
back to bis master, holding his prey
tightly clutched in his taloua The
proceeds of these exhibitions pay the
hawker's expenses until he sells the
bird, when ,he"will go home contented-
ly to bis howell and train another hawk.

The Banana

The antiquity and wild character OF
the banana in Asia are incontestable
facts. There are several names for it in
Sanskrit and the Greeks, Latins and
Arabs carly mentioned it as an Indian
frui. tree. But the Hebrews and an
Gent Eyyptious knew nothing of it,
showing that it was more likely native
of the Malay Archipelago. There is an
immense number OF varieties in China
and India dates from time impossible
TO realize. The indication is that this
fruit had a primitive existence in Asia,
and that it had diffusion contemporary
with or even anterior to that of the hui
man races. De Candolle does not admit
that the banana existed in America
before the Spanish conquests; for, if it
did, it must have come by some un-
known communication with the islands
of the Pacific or the coast of Guinea.
The fruit was introduced into the West
Indies and Brazil by the Spaniarls aad
Portugese.-lGood Housekeeping.

Wild Charlie, who had been knocked
into the river at the beginning of the
encounter, floated to an island and was
rescued, having but few injuries.
The bear proved a whoppcr, weigh
ing about one thousand pounds, and
was one of the largest ever killed along
the Missouri.
The heroic bravery of the woman
alone prevented the bear from beir ?
victor in the contest and the saving of
the life Of her husband has csused the lat
terto regard his wife asr. great heroine.

Getting Justice.

Ise Meriwether relates very anus.
ing and yet annoying experience which
he had In Switzerland in attempting to
obtain justice. He says that, while he
evas taking stroll early one morning, he
stopped at one of the numerous small
inns and ordered /. glass of milk. "Cold,
sweet milk" he said twice to the waiter,
as otherwise thoy bring, as a matter of
course, either hot or sour milk-two
favorite ways of taking milk among
the Germans. To his surprise the
waiter brought pitcher of boiling hot
milk. He continues the story as follows:
l repeated my order for a glass of cold
milk. The waiter said he had none. l
arose to go.
"What !" he exclaimed. "You will
not payl" and without waiting for re-
ply he snatched my hat from my head,
and gave It to the proprietor, who at
that moment entered.
1 looked at thcm with a sort of ad-
miraticn. Never had l seen such pure
assurance; never men with so free and
easy a method OF collecting payment for
goods neither ordered nor used.
Gazing some moments at the good
natured host and his waiter, took down
his name and lumber, and repaired,
bareheadrd, to the police station. There
related nv story. The officers consult
ed, and finally decided the matter was
not within their jurisdiction.
Go" they said, "to the Friedens-
richter" (peaoe justice).
The Friedensrichter was & grave, bald
headed man As l was about to state nv
case, the learned man raised his hand
and babe me stop.

but, Sir, i have a charge of assault
to make. Must l pay Tor notifying an
officer OF breach of the peace?'
"You must. The fee is two and half
francs"
This Was paid. 1 wanted Tight on the
subject, and requested the address of q
lawyer. The Friedensrichter gave me
one. Half an hour later Knocked at
the door of the man of law, only TO learn
that he was way serving his annual three
weeks m the army. The maid, however,
told me of another lawyer, and he, upon
payment Of a fee for legal services, told
me the law was upon the milkman's side,
but that could go TO the "Gerichtprs-
sident' if i desired further imforma-
ton.
went to the Gerichtprasident. He,
too, said the law was with the hot-milk
man. Then went to, the rascally land
lord.
"Ipay you" 1 said, handing him the
money and taking my hat, II pay you,

not drink, but for information you have
