All wanderers are lovers of the

into Europe until the crusaders
brought back falcons with them from
their eastern wanderings. But i'm.

fly their birds at wolves and foxes
instead of at quails and partridges!
Not content with hunting game birds
with small falcons, the Kirghiz cap

eagles. with which they hunt such
game as gazelles, foxes and even
wolves.
A we'll mounted Kirghiz falconer.
carrying on his wrist one OF these
magnificent birds, Is fine sight. The
weight of the eagle Is such that the
owner requires support for his
wrist. and the hunters are usually to
be seen with little wooden bracket
that supports the arm against the
hip. The eagles are hooded, as all
falcons are. but can be used only In
winter, when they are hungry and
keen. In summer they are fed on
marmots and live a restful life. sit,

When gazelles or wolves are the

How an Englishman Was Politely

A paean OF rejoicings has gone up

stated-rather previously, fear-that
the great secret society OF Italy has

How polite the Camorrists can be a
true tale of how an Englishman sub

Englishman In question. married
man, took house in one OF the sea-
port towns of Italy. not Naples. and
brought his English furniture with
him. A month or two after he had
taken up residence. a very polite ltal-
ian gentleman called on him and pre-
scented him with bill for 5000 for
furniture bought from an Italian Arm.
The Englishman said that there must
be some mistake, for he had bought
no furniture in Italy. and his visitor
then explained that the bill was the
means by which he might subscribe to
the local branch OF the Camorra. and
thus obtain it's protection. There was
no hurry about the matter. said the
polite Italian, and II the Englishman
did not care to pay at once the matter
might stand over for six months.
The Englishman went to his consul,
who referred him TO the local head OF
the police. The local head Of the po-
lice, talking as an Official. promised
him every protection II he did not In

Fact About the Mushroom.

A well-known botanist says that
mushrooms might properly be caiied
vegetable meat and used an substi-
tute for animal food. 1T Is doubtful,
however, II this is true says the
American Medical association. The
more we learn OF mushrooms, the more
II becomes apparent that they are
scarcely different as regards dietary
virtues from the general run OF the
green vegetables which have never
achieved the distinction Of any unique
or superior nutritive properties. They
belong rather to that large group OF
food materials which we consume for
reasons quite apart from the yield OF
nourishment which they have to onsr
to the body"
