Habits of Peculiar Bird Found in
India.

Habits of n Peculiar Bird Found in
India.
Among the winter migrants to India the
Houbara bustard is probably one OF the
largest, but as it confines its visits only t.
the northwest frontier, it is not 50 well
known. Having its home in the mountain
Gus regions of Afghanist an, or, as S m
suppose, in the Transformers Il is
driven down by the severely OF the white
to the low countries bordering the Persian
gulf, southern Beluchistan and nd
where avoiding all fertile tracks, it selects
the dreary sand plains that are do ed
over with clumps of mimosa scrub AID
notified patches of thorny buSh. Of a
saLdy gray color marked with black the
HoubaTa, when full grown, Taresy exceeds
inches in leng th, and from end to end Of
wing about fifty-four to fifty-siX incaes
In spite of this eXpanse of wing it is a
very poor performer in the ar, but, pos
sessing cursorial feet and very keen sight,
it easily evades a pursuer.
The female is easily distinguished by a
small crest, composed OF fine gray feath-
ers tipped with black, and also by The
large black and white feathers on either
side of the neck, which extend down to
its breast. 1t feeds on leaves and shrubs,
flowers and small wild berries during the
night, but after sunrise it seeks some &C.
Guided spot, generally near an open plain,
ard there, hiding behind a small bush or
shrub rests till sunset. Water it is not
out throughout its period of migration. In
Sind and Beluchistan, where the ra mall
is so small and uncertain, water is rarely
ever met with out in the jungles. and the
native shikariS (Tpen hired TO track out
game) there say that they have rare Y
come across Eoubara footprints near a
pool of water. Quitting its feeding ground
in the cool of the morning, it iuva' ia aIy
rms for its day shelter and this fact Is
n ade Of service 10 the trappers in thu
north of Sind. Around any field where
footprints are plentiful they build up a
small fence of dry bushes leaving two
Of three openings, over which they spre ID
their nets suspended by thin twigs The
Boubara flies on to its feeding ground in
the evening, but when the sun rises it at
tempts to run out, but on meeting an OBJ
stacle it runs along the fence to the open
ing. and there knocking against tn .
further end Of the net, brings the IVY gs
down, and the net on top of 1t.
The Afghans and Persians hawk the

The writer was in the front car of a fast

and, as he had grown rather tired o.
reading the morning paper, he began to
amuse himself by studying his fellow pas
sengers- Just in front Of him sat two
men. One wore a wide-brimmed stir
straw hat, and his Observation-Disclosures
seemed to indicate that he had just finish
ed his junior year at college. The other.
who was much older, the writer recoe niz-

They were talking about the wonders
Of this wonderful land.

History Repeats Itself.

Humanity moves like the little
dog chasing his tail, in a circle
Here is an extract from an old letter
written by a business mar to a friend
once upon a time from New York:
MY DEAR--: There is moth
ing here but bankruptcy. Pretty
much every merchant has failed
Banks are all broken, or will be.
Affairs are absolutely stopped, Peo-
pie neither buy nor sell. nor give
credit; above all, none pay their
debts. Such universal ruin l nevor
witnessed. You can't get any
money. 1 had 1925 paid to my
account at Cincinnati eight days
ago, but there is no means of get
ting it to New York, Workmcn
are discharged everywhere, aud God
knows what suffering aud crime will
be the consequence"
That letter fits this year so patty
that no one will be surprised to
learn that it was written during the
last purely Democratic administru-
ton before the present, thirty six
years ago. under the rule of james
Buchanan and a congress Democratic
in both branches.

Dangers of the Season.

The sudden changes IN weather in the
latter part of the winter and early spring
are "A source of colds and coughs. This
season is II particularly dangerous one
for persons with weak lungs or delicate
constitution. A slight cold Is likely to
become a serious one and the cough that
follows is the one great cause of the
many deaths from consumption in the
early spring. Never neglect n cold or
cough. Keep a reliable remedy on hand
and check the first cough, that " lead
to consumption. AS such a rem ,ly the
medicine called Kemp's llsam Is
