The Peacock at Home.

The real home of the peacock or pea
fowl is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and the flesh is used for
food. AS these birds live in the same
region as the tiger, peacock-hunting is
a very dangerous sport. The long train
of the peacock is not it's tail, as many
suppose, but is composed of feathers
which grow out just above the tail,
and are called the tail-coverts. Pea
cocks have been known for many hun
dred years. They are mentioned in the
Bible. Job mentions them. and they are
mentioned too in Kings, 10. Hundreds
Of years ago in Rome many thousand
peacockswere killed for the great feasts
which the emperors made. The brains
of the peacock were considered a great
treat, and many had to be killed for a
single feast.--Et. Nicholas.
