THE CRONNOF THE HOOPOE
A VERY PRETTY LEGEND OF ITS
ORIGIN.
Said to Have Been a Gift From King
Solomon in Recognition of Kindness
to Him.

The hoopoe is Iounu in Europe, A STA
and Africa. 1t continually utters in soft,
rapid tones peculiar note resembling
"hoop, hoop, hoop" whence it's name
hoopoe.
1t is really a harmless, useful bird, but
1t is the subject Of many superstitions, be-
ing regarded us ominous of evil. 1t is
about the size of "A thrush, is very elegant
in appearance and is greatly admired be-
cause of it's handsome crown or crest.
This crown is composed of gold colOred
feathers of unequal lengths, having Il
white bar and black tips which it can ox-
pand and depress at pleasure.
According to Il pretty legend, the hoOpoe
received its crown us II reward for "a kindly
service One very hot day, the story runs,
King Solomon was journeying from one
part of his vast domain to another. He
had no covering over his bead, and the
suns scorching rays became unbearable.
At length he came up with a flock of vul
lures and said to them:
"Vultures, do me kindness. Fly very
close together above my head and shield
me from the sun for time as | journey
The vultures refused outright to thus
favor the king, and he then said to them
"Nultures, because of your seliishness
! your heads and necks, and the heads and
necks of all your descendants, shall from
this time to the end of time be bare OF
feathers, and thus you will DO exposed &c
both heat and cold.
Solomon went "a little farther and over
took IA flock of hoopoes, and thus addressed
them:
Little noopoes, my head aches from
having been exposed to the suns fierce
rays for several hours Won't you hover
above my head in "a body to shield mt
from the sun, and fly along with me tC
the end of my journey"
The hoopoes readily consented, and sc
they lowered above the kings head dove
tailed themselves together and made ar
| admirable sun shield. Thus they flew
along until the end of the Journey wa:
reached, and then the king said to them:
Little hoopoes, what favor may con
fer upon you for your great kindness tC
me9"
One hoopoe, acting as a spokesman fol
| the Others, answered
IF you wish to favor us, o King Solo
mon, ornament our nccks with circlet Of
beautiful golden feathers.
Would you not rather have your heads
ornamented with a beautiful COLDER
CROWN the king asked
Much rather, much ratherl'' exclaimed
! the hoopoes in chorus
