tree, the log, a great piece Of tough
wood, six feet four inches in girth, is
placed firmly in the ground, as though
it were a growing tree.
Five minutes before the beginning
of the heat the referees whistle sum-
mons the contestants into the inclos-
ure. They are all splendid specimens
of physical prowess-thick set, deep
chested, iron muscled and bronzed
from exposure. Each carries his ia.
vorite ak, the fullest latitude being al
lowed in the matter Of selection. 1t is
a significant fact that several Of the
saws and axes used this year were the
product of. American firms. When all
is ready the pistol shot sounds and the
contest is en-.
Scarcely less exciting is the saving
contest. The log used is the same size
as that employed in the chopping con.
test, but the time made is much more
rapid, for the great saw cuts through
the wood much more quickly than the
axe can so.
This year for the first time the AZ
mems and sawyers' championships
were won by the same man-Thomas
Pettitt, of Sprint, Tasmania. Not only
did he win both events, but he also
broke the record for each.

Clover and the Victoria Cross.

She kissed the clover. He returned
1t to its place and laid morocco case
on her lap.
She opened 1t, finding no golden
gaud, no jeweled female trinket with
in, only a metal cross, "For valor."
She thought of the price given for 1t,
and recognized that it was the best he
had to give; then, looking into the
grave, dark eyes, sweet with tender
ness and deep with intellect, realized
that she had won no common nature
and no ignoble love. The clover visi-
bly, dyed with his blood was invisibly
stepped in that Of her own deep and
silent suffering; his feeling for her,
however slight in its origin, had grown
and thriven and become rooted and
unshakable in the great suffering,
moral and physical, through which he
had passed. The love Of both had been
exalted and purified by pain strong
enough to bring each down to the val
ley Of the shadow Of death; such love
could neither change nor die. His love
gift was nothing less than the Victoria
Cross, bought at the price English
soldiers know so well how to pay. and
pay so often without buying it."-Ma1-

The Love Story of Two Giraffes.

"In the Cincinnat%Zoo dwelt two
giraffes," writes Clifford Howard, in
telling some Love Stories of the Zoo,'
in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Gi-
raffes are not noted for their affection.
yet these two exhibited every evidence
of true devotion to each other. The
male never seemed to tire Of caressing
the long, slender neck of his partner,
and, what was most unusual, would
frequently leave for her the softest
and choicest bits of food. On one oc-
casion, when she was removed from
the pen for a short time and quartered
near by, he seemed to find consolation
in some bits of cloth that had been
used to bind her throat; always lying
down beside them, no matter where
they happened to be placed. And DUR
ing this temporary separation the two
would spend hours gazing longingly at
each other across the space that d.
vided them. When they were again
united they made manifest their su.
preme happiness by frolicking. about
like frisk colts, blissfully unmindful
of the fact that such behavior was
anything but picturesque in creatures

struction that those interested in the
yacht expect she will make her great
gains. In model there is very little
difference between her and the Colum-
bia. The slight differences made are
expected to enable her to carry ten
Der cent. more canvas than the cham

her very much faster than the older
yacht, but with the great gains made
in the construction of the hull these
gains will be much more than they

Ceaseless Growth of the Ears,

The systematic examination of more
than forty thousand parts Of human
ears in England and France has re-
suited in some interesting conclusions.
For one thing, it is ascertained that
the ear continues to grow in the later
decades of life; in fact, it appears neV-
er to stop growing until death. A
woman who has small, shell-like ears
at twenty years of age will be very
apt to possess medium-sized ears at
forty years and large ears at sixty
