BIG BIRDS OF THE DESERT.
HTOTOfO THAT COMBINES PROFIT
WITH PLEASURE.
How the Arab* Capture Ostriches—
A Singular Bird Possessed of a
Remarkable Appetite.
With the Arabs of the desert the chase
aiid capture of the ostrich is the most at
tractive and aristocratic of the many
diversions in which they indulge. The
first thing attended to whon a hunt is con
templated is the preparation of the horses.
They are entirely deprived of grass, and
fed on barley for seven or eight days be
fore the intended hunt. They are allowed
to drink only once a day, and that at sun
set; at that time they are also washed.
They take long exercises, and great at
tention is given to the arrangement of the
harness. The Arab says that after seven
or eight davs the stomach of the horse dis
appears, while the chest, the breast and
croup remain in flesh. The animal is
then in condition to endure fatigue. This
training is called teehaha. The harness
used in this hunting is much lighter than
that in ordinary use, especially the saddle
and the stirrups, and the martingale is
dispensed with. Tho bridle also under
goes many changes, the mounting and
earflaps being taken away,os they are con
sidered too heavy. The bit and frontlet
are made of rope, without throatband, and
the reins, though very strong,are extreme
ly light. The time most favorablo for
ostrich hunting is when there is the great
est heat. The higher the temperature the
less is the ostrich able to defend itself.
The Arab says that when a man stands
upright,and his shadow is only the length
of his foot, that is the exact tune to hunt.
Each horseman is accompanied by a ser
vant, called zemmal. He is mounted on
a camel carrying four goat skins filled
with water, and barley for the horses,
wheat flour for the nder, some dates,
a kettle in which to cook the food, and
everything which can possibly be required
for the repairing of the*harness in case of
aecident. The norsemaa wears a linen
vest and trousers,and covers his neck and
ears with a light material called havuli,
which is tied with a strap of camel’s hide.
His feet are protected by sandals and his
legs by light gaiters, called -teabag. He
has neither gun nor pistol, his. only
weapon being a wild olive or tamarind
stick, five or six feet long, with a heavy
knob at o.ne end.
Before-starting off, the hunters ascer
tain where a large number of ostriches
are to be found. They are generally met
with in places where there £ a great deal
of grass, and rain has recently fallen. The
hpntcrs generally commence their - jour
ney early in the morning. After one or
two days traveling, when they have
arrived near the desired spot, and they
begin to see traces of .their game, they
halt and camp. After settling, two in
telligent slaves are sent out to reconnoit
er. They carry a goat-skin at their side
and a little bread. They walk on until
they find the ostriches, which are gener
ally on level places. As soon as the samo
is m view, one lies down to watch, and
the other returns to convey the informa
tion to the camp.
The birds are found in troops, consist
ing often of as many as sixty. The horse
men, guided bytheßCOut, travel cautious
ly toward the game. The nearer they ap
proach the spot the greater is their cau
tion, and when they reach the last ridge
which hides them from the ostriches, they
dismount and creep forward to ascertain
whether the birds are still there. If such
is the case, a moderate quantity of water
is given to the horses, and each man
mounts again and proceeds. The servants
and camels follow a little distance be
hind, carrying with them corn and
water.
The horsemen divide and form a circle
round the ostriches at such a distance as
not to be noticed by them. The servants
halt when the horsemen separate, and as
coon as they sec their masters in position,
they walk right before their prey. The
ostriches flee, hut are met by the hunters,
who at first only drive them back into
the circle. They are made to run around in
the ring, and in this way their strength
is exhausted. At the firsf sign of fatigue
in the birds the horeemen dash in
and the exhausted birds open their
wings, which is a sign of great
exhaustion, and the hunter, now
feeling sure of his prey, selects his bird
and runs it down and finishes it by a blow
on the head with the olive stick. The
moment the bird falls,the man quickly
dismounts and cuts its throat, taking
care to hold the head at some distance
from the body, so as not to soil the plum
age It is said the male bird utters loud
moans while dying, but the female lies in
eilence. ,XVhen 'the ostrich is on the
point of being taken by the hunter, if he
does nOtVwish to kill it, he can easily
drive it with the stick to. where the camel
is, it is in such an exhausted condition.
After the birds are hied to death they are
' carefully' skinned, so that the feathers
may not become injured, -end the skin is
stretched tenon a tree or a horse, andealt
ie well rubbed into it. Then a fire is
built and-the fat sis thp bird is boiled for
a long time. When if,"is very liquid it is.
-poured into bottles made, of the skin of
the thigh and leg; and strongly fastened
,a i the bottom. The fat of the bird is
generally sufficient iq fill]'two pf these
< sees, and’it is said the fat' would 6poii'
in any oth'er vessel. .After the.frying-out
process the flesh is prepared, and eaten by
the hunters, who drees it well with pep
pafkbd flour.
.While all this is going on the horses
are* carefully tended, watered and well
fed with corn, and the party remain quiet
for forty-eight hours to rest the animals.
After that they return to the comp or
egek more game.
To the Arab the chase of tHe ostrich
. has a.double attraction—.that of pleasure
and of profit. The pric«.obti»lnsafor the
•kin-well compensates for tba-..qgiiensc.
£ot fitly do the rich enjoy -theeffMsu/t',

for it a* well. The usual fora

Blahe* the remaining third, and the re
sult of the chase is divided in the same
proportion.
t)r Shaw-says that while these birejs
. appear tame, and tractable to persons well
'known to .them, they Are often, very
fierce to strangers, whom they will try to
push down by running fiercely at them,
and will peck at them and strike with
- -y .
their feet. The Doctor says he once saw
a man whose abdomen had been torn
open by a stroke from -the claw of an
ostrich, so -violent a blow can be given by
them. The natural food of the ostrich
consists ordinarily of vegetable sub
stances, especially grain, and the ostrich
is a great enemy to the African farmer.
But its sense of taste is so obtuse that
leather, old nails, buttons, bits of tin,
keys, coins and pebbles are devoured
with apparent equal relish. Nothing
comes amiss. But the bird doubtless
follows an instinct, for these hard sub
stances assist in grinding down and pre
paring for digestion its ordinary food,
like the gravel in the crops of our do
mestic poultry. Cuvier found in tho
stomach of an ostrich that died in Paris
a pound of stones, bits of iron and copper
and pieces of money worn down by con
stant attrition. In another stomach, be
sides several large cabbage stalks, there
were pieces of brick the size of a man's
fist. Prof. Span-man relates that he has
seen ostriches so tame that they went to
and fro on tho farm where they were
raised, but so voracious that they would
swallow chickens whole and trample hens
to death, and then tear them in pieces to
devour. “And one terrible great bird
had to be killed on account of an awk
ward habit he had acquired of trampling
sheep to death.”
But the most wonderful thing, per
haps, showing the capacity of an ostrich's
stomach is that afforded by Dr. Shaw,
who saw one swallow bullet aftor bullet
as they were pitched scorching hot from
the mold. It has become a proverbial
in alluding to a person whose
digestion ts perfect, to say, “He has the
stomach of an ostrich.” —Boston Herald.
St. Pancake’s Day.
In France says a contribution to the
Boston Transcript, tire Shrove-Tuesday
pancake is a sort of griddle cake, very
thin and as large round as a breakfast
plate. Sometimes it is well-sugared and
rolled up like an omelette sucree, and
sometimes three or four are piled up
together, with layers of sugar or honey in
between.
On Shrove-Tuesday afternoon, the
young ladies of the household invite a
clozen or more friends to “toss pancakes. ”
The kitchen is put in apple-pie order, the
range beautifully polished and blacked,
with a bright charcoal fire burning and a
large bowl of batter standing ready. The
voung men and girls tie on huge white
linen aprons and put dainty paper cape
on their heads, the cook places a largo
griddle, well greased, on the fire and then
Die fun begins. Two spoonfuls of batter
are poured on the griddle and spread
themselves into two round cakes; each of
the company is provided with a small tin
shovel, and as soon as the cook announces
that the critical moment has arrived they
take their turn, two at a time, at tossing
the pancakes. They slide the shovel un
perneath, give a vigorous toss, and what
the pancake ought to do is to turn half
over once in the air and come down on
the other side, and this is to be repeated
(hree or four times till each cake is nicely
and evenly browned on both sides. Tho
cakes, however, are not always tractable
to an inexperienced shovel. They have a
vray of making several gyrations in tho
air, and of coming down cither on the
wrong side or else all doubled up. Tho
higher they can be tossed without mak
ing but one turn the greater the art.
There is much rivalry among the amateur
cooks, many failures and great laughter.
When the fun has been kept up about an
hour the serious business is left to the
real cook, the young people divest them
selves of their aprons and caps and retire
to the drawing-room for a little dance—
the last of the season. Later a pretty
supper is served, at which pancakes are
the chief diet—a fresh addition, needless
to nay, and not the ones on which the
young amateurs have beeD exercising an
unpracticed hand. Such little traditional
festivities form the picttiest features of
French social life.
A Physician’s Experience in Persia.
At last, in a remote suburb, we came to
the house of thp Synd. A ragged fellow,
tho door-keeper, looked at- us super
ciliously. I followed the guide, though
he had "failed to givo the usual invitation
to enter. Through the vast house wo
went—bare enough for a caravanserai,
and big enough too. At last we reached
an empty room. There was no carpet, no
sign of choir or seat. I flung myself upon
the raised window ledge, astonished and
indignant; for discourtesy is rare indeed
in Persia. The guide disappeared; there
sv?s a dead silence, only broken by the
hum of a wasp or a blue-bottle. Time
passed on; and at length I became im
patient, and began to shout at the full
pitch of my voice. Thereupon the guide
returned precipitately. - “You musn’t do
that,” said he, “you’ll-wake the lord!"
“Please heaven I 6hall. Hoy! hoy I” The
servant’s manner changed, and he pro
ceeded to conduct me to the holy man’s
apartment,' a plain room and almost
sordid. The saint was polite enough in
j his speech; but he did not rise on his
visitor's entrance, nor did he even offer a
cushion-to the infidel doctor. Now, to
stand would be to put myself in the po
sition of a servant or a suppliant; so I
flung myself at full length upon the car
pets. Hereupon the holy man pretended
that his want of civility had been unin
tentional: Then the doctor saw his pa
tient-athat is, a piece of her. A young
lfdy thrust a plump, arm out from under
a large veil. Then, taking care that
nought hut her lips should be visible, she
’put out her tongue. A prescription was
written and I retired, having been well
laughed at by a crowd of veiled women
who formed the hadji's seraglio.— St.
