Mankind sighs for novelty in the way of | amusement. In default of this there seems to be no better plan than that of reviving some old sport familiar to our an but new to | the present generation. The latest caprice of the English in the way of out-door sports ts falconry. The ancient custom of hunting birds by means of the hawk and peregrine has been revived by a few ardent spirits, and the aver- age Englishman, wno sees im a fine autuma morning only an inviting opportunity to “go | Out and kiil something,” has now a compara- | Uvely novel and exciting method of achieving the correct amount of slaughter. For some time past falconry has been growing in favor. Birds are bred and trained for the work, and | clubs bave been formed in London and’ else- where of gentlemen “hawkers,” who have Tegular meet days, the object being to “foster | hawking, and give it as high a piace among na- tional sports as it had in the days of yore.” Falconry {s a very old sport in Europe and Asia, In the middie = It was the iavorite Sport Of princes and nobles; and as ladies could engage in it, {t became very popular, particu- larly in France. In an oid on forest Sports, by the chaplain Gasse de la Bigne, cited by Curne de Sainte-Palaye, in bis work oa chivalry, in a comparison of hunting with fal- conry, it 1s mentioned a3 a particular advantage of falconry that queens, duchesses and count- esses are allowed by their husbands to carry the falcon on their wrists without offending pro- priety, and that they can enjoy ail the sporis of this kind of hunting, whilst in huntin, hounds they are only allowed to follow by the wide roads or over open fields {n order to see the dogs pass. The knight was anxious to pay his court to the ladies on such occasions by his attentions to the falcons. He was obliged to be careful to fy the bird at the proper moment, to follow her Immediately, never to lose sight of her, to encourage her by calls, to take the prey from her, to caress her, to put on the hood and to place her gracefully on tue wrist of his istress. | In falconry two distinct kinds of hawks are used—the long-winged or true falcons, and | sbort-winged. The tirst (noble bird of prey) are represented chiefly by the gyrfaicon and peregrine, the second by the gostawk and spar- | row-hawk; and though fo~ certain purposes the male fs superior, a3 a rule the females of each les are muuch more bighly esteemed for sporting purposes, from their being larger and more powerful. The gysfalcon fs the largest species, but from {ts extreme rarity in the | British'Islands is seldom used. Tne ‘ine falcon is the bird in greatest favor with falcon- ers, and if taken from the nest, asi3 usually the case, and carefully trained, affords better sport than any other British species, | _ The operation of training a falcon ts attended with no little care and difficulty. The village of Faleonswaerd, near Bols-le-Duc, in Holland, has for many years turnished falconers to the rest of Europe. “I have known,” writes Sir Jobn Sebright, “many falconers in England, and in | the service of different princes on the Conti- | nent, but I never met with one of them who Was not a native of Falconswacrd.” No hawk is tit for sporting purposes until it has under- sone a careful training. The young hawk is | more easily trained than that which has case & number of operations ‘require to be gone through before the sportsman ventures to take his falcon into the field. If t bird to be trained instead of being a nest- ling, happens to be a wild one, the difticulties of training are immeasurably increased, and can | only be overcome by days and nights of un- | wearying exertion, Taken from her nest on some high and dangerous cliff when nearly | fledged, the eyess, or soune falcon (with her companton iledgelings, usually two in number) is carefully conveyed to the falconer’s home. ‘There she ts kept {nan open shed in anest Straw. and fed several timesada7 upon fresh | beef, With an occasional change inthe way ot | birds or rabbits.

One of the first of the principal operations in training 1s hooding, which, if successfully per- formed by the trainer during his earlier efforts, wes the way for overcoming many subsequent aimiculties. It demands the greatest patience and the tenderest manipulation.

To teach how to taik well should be the constant aim of both home and school training.” The French Girl, (London Telegraph. } That the segregation of unmarried girls from generai society in France has been concurrently attended by very imperfect educational trata- Ing 1s undeniable. Were it not that the French are naturally witty, shrewd and seif-p people, a French girl of the upper middle classes might appear to an English or American young lady to be a lamentabiy ignorant specimen of “femininity.” She may have picked up a few scraps of English in her “pensionnat,” but she is never taught even the rudiments of Latin; she would think {it unpatriotic to speak Ger- man; her knowledge of the history and litera- ture of ber own country is limited, and that of the history and literature of other countries usually * ” A little linear drawing constitutes the sum of her ac- quaintance with mathematics, and she may be deemed fortunate if she had to gather a slight smattering of physical science, and that not of a very accurate kind, from the writings of M. Jules Verne. Nor are these edu- cational deficiencies to be wondered at. She may have had as schooling as an ordinary “Pensionnat de Demoiselles” could impart to ber, or she may have been brought up in a convent; but what Lord Jolin Manners would call “the kind pressure of the social chain” in the well-meant but mind-crushing des- potism of “La Familie” has not ceased to yall her throughout the whole of her school days, Whenever she has tried to read the a pages of an “Index Expurgatorious” ave met her view. if she has been edu- cated in a convert, the good nuns have prob- ably taught her that three-fourths of the things which she will enjoy with such eager vest when she is married and free are es- sentlally wicked, and It is not at all improbable that if She has been boas a up in a nunnery in the provinces her clerical instructors have In- stilled into her such Ideas on politics as to make her regard the existing government of her country with horror and aversion, An English school girl happily Knows much more about hardbake and almond rock than she does about conseTvatism or liberalism; and from the age of sixteen to twenty she Is too much occupied with matters of Gress and amusement and affairs of the heart to trouble herself about which political party 1s In office or which is in opposition. If she has any politics at all they are “papa’s;” unhaj Puy, as French society i3 at present constitu' the politics of a French young lady are in most cases directly the re- verse of those of her papa.

The Bi ESCs You will find very few Englishmen who have hot got an instinctive aversion for the ordinary native of India, the Madrasior Bengali. They have a sneaking, aioe? way about them which almost involuntarily excites contempt and disgust, and their talk Is ever of rupees, anbas and pie. The Burman, on the other ‘hand, is a universal favorite, well spoken of, equally by the freshest griff, ten days landed, and by the oldest Anglo-Burman,who has spent the best years of his life in the country. And yet, if you want a clerk to do your work, or a servant to attend on you, a Burman 1s the last man you would engage. You would ake OM a sopanoceous Bengali Ba- boo, or a servile, abject Madrasi ~ Rama- sammy. Therein Nes the great fault of the Burmans, aud the failing which will prevent them from ever taking a prominent place even among eastern nations. They have no capacity for sustained work. In tntellectual capacity they are probably superior to the plodding Madrasi, Dut they entirely lack perseverance. in the schools of Burmah, where the two races moingle together, the Burman usuaily beats his more swarthy competitor, and even gets the better of the half-breeds, but when it comes to the real work of life he drops behind, pumped out. Abdul Mahomed, or the trrepressible celestial, Ah Gwan, gets to be head of the clerks in the office, while Moung Hpo is thinking of applying for a new situation on the same terms aS he got when he first lett school. This want of Stamina. if 1 may call It so, is fatal, and seems mneradicable. It 13 the more to be regretted because most Englishmen can, and do, make companions of the Burmese, which Is possible with but very few natives of India. It you swear at a Burman or speak harshly to him, he will Hsten perfectly respectfully to you and make no answer, but he will ae up his things and be off forthwith, while his pride will hinder him from demanding any back pay that may be due to him. “A Madrasi, even if wrongfully abused, would simply call you his father, and lis’ mother, and his aunt, Gefender of the poor and epitome of wisdom, and would take his change out of you in the bazaar accounts, A Burinan will very rarely serve & a body servant, and when he does, must be trested more as'a friend ‘han any: thing else. If he likes you, he will do all your work and stick to you through thick and thin, but he will not endure being treated as a sim- le “boy.” In these respects the Burman com- pares unfavorably with the black Aryan; In all else he is his superior. Some one with a taste for comparison hus called the Burmese “the irish of the east.” In their love of fun and rol- licking they Certainiy resemble the finest peas- antry tn the world. A Burman is always ready to welcome a joke, and not seldom 1s able to cap it, while nothing is soremarkable about the vatives of India as thelr utter incapacity to SDprociste) wit or to recognize humor that is notot the broadest. The it similarities of sound In a tonic language like the Burmese give abundant opportunity for plays on words, and they are, therefore, very free in the use of the “basis of all wit,” and every dramatic ptece abounds in puns and plays on words.
