The Peacock at Home.

The real home Of the peacock or pea
fowl Is in India. There they were and
are hunted, and their flesh is used for
food. As the birds live in the same re-

very dangerous sport. The long train Of
the peacock is not its tail, AZ many sup

grow out just above the tail and are
called the tail coverts. Peaoocks have
been known for many hundred years.
They are mentioned In the Bible. Job
mentions them, and they are mentioned,
too, In ! Kings 4. Hundreds of years
ago In Rome many thousand peacosks
were killed for the great fehsts which
the emperors made. The brains of the
peacock were considered great treat,
and many had TO be killed for q single
