BAMBOOS FOR AMERICA

The natives of the Pacific islands
would be at a loss without bamboo.
They use it for building material, they
make their kitchen utensils from it,
they fashion it into weapons, they
build bridges with it, and it supplies
them with material for ropes, mating,
water pipes, fish nets and traps, RATS.
masts and even vessels.
If the bamboo were grown here ex-
tensively, the United States would
prove even more admirable for the
American small boy than they are
now; for he could go into the woods
then and cut the very realest thing"
in fish poles that there is.
Japan exports 100000 poles every
year for fishing purposes exclusively,
and most of them go 10 this country.
Bamboo sometimes reach heights of
one hundred feet. 1t grows even more
rapidly than ordinary grass, and 1t IS
not rare TO find a shoot twenty feet
high within fifty days after appearing
above the ground.
\ foot day is not an unusual rate
of growth, and rate of three feet a
day has been recorded.
There are hundreds of different
species. Some make only little plants
suitable for growing in pots. Others
have trunks six and seven inches in
diameter.
Some are so small that they creep
over the ground and form a rank
green sward; others make immense
forests.

dog. When il settles over his head,
jerk on the end of the thread that is

pull in your catch.
Contests can be arranged with any

No player may touch the moose ex-
cept to pull it down so that it will

rule demanding that the players ac-
tually jerk the dog away from the
paper and haul it up, or the dog may
be considered as landed" if the moose
has been frightened around him so
firmly that it is evident he could not
slip out. This latter method will pre-
serve the picture for games indef-
nitcly.

AIN OLD HUNTERS ADVICE

Here Is the advice an old hunter
gives to those who may come into
unexpected contact with bad animals
eff you are cornered by a snake.
stand motionless and he will never
bite
If vicious dog attacks you, show
him a knife or some similar instru-
ment and he will keep out of reach
A dog can never learn the deadliness
of revolver or a gun, but unless he
has the rabies, he knows how to re-
spcct a knife.
IF a swarm of wild bees attacks
you, stand motionlcss and let out all
your breath. Then only few of the
swarm will sting"
This advice should be reversed at
sea. A man who is swimming in
shark-infested waters is safe as long
as he kicks about and makes a great
deal of noise. The shark is too timid
to approach anything that looks as if
1T meant to fight
What would you do in case you
were corncred by a cinnamon bear?'
some one asked the old hunter.
Say my prayers" he answered
laconcally.

- 10 WHO pldy
MI football think that only two
lV1 nations-England and Amer
ica-are devoted to that
game. But, as a matter of fact, there
is no other sport so generally favored
the wide world over.
Wherever the English and the
Americans have gone-and they have
gone everywhere white men can 60
they have carried football with them.
The negroes among whom they have
dwe1t, in all parts of the tropics, have
picked up the game from them, and
become just as enthusiastic over it as
any American college boy.
The Maories of New Zealand pre-
fer football to any of their own ma
tional games, and many of them have
become frst-class players. They easily
defeat all the white clubs in New Zca-
land. Some years ago they sent
team over to England which was able
to hold its own with some OF the best
English and Scottish clubs.
The negro boys of the British West
Indian Islands play football with en-
ergy and pleasure in temperature OF
90 degrees-as hot as the hottest days
of summer in this country. The
grounds on which they play, being
baked day after day by the tropical
sun. are as hard as rock. When boy
IS Knocked over he is very likely to
break his arm or his leg; but no such
accidents as those can spoil the West
Indians pleasure in the king of games.
The Chinese residents of George
town, Demerara, got up team about
three years ago to play negro club
at football The game did not last
long. The Chinese objected to being
knocked about, and wanted to stop
PLAYING every few minutes to argue
with the umpire in ''pidgin English.
The game ended in free fight, and
half of the players were held by the
police for assault.
In India, III West and South Africa,
and in the South Sea Islands, football
is favorite pastime OF the native as
we'll as of the white residents, and
very often the latter will beat the
former at their own game.

TVERYBODY knows that the
~ Japs are great soldiers, but
- few know who is the greatest
of them. The General Miles
and Lord Roberts of Japan is Gen
eral Viscount Katsura, who became
Prime Minister of the country two
years ago.
He began his fighting career in
1867, during the civil war which re-
suited in the overthrow of the old or
der of things in Japan and the adop-
ton of Western civilization. He was
only a lieutenant then, but he be-
came famous for his extraordinary
courage He was always in the
thickest of the fight, always the first

He seemed. to bear charmed life.
escaping without a scratch, while his
comrades fell thickly all around him.
After the civil war was over, the
new Government sent him to Ger
many to study military matters. When
he returned to Japan he took leading
part in recognizing the Japanese
soldiery on the European model.

modern Japanese army.
During the Chino-Japanese War he
had the opportunity of leading his
men to battle and discovering that the
trouble he had taken to train them
had not been thrown away He
marched his army through Korea TO
Manchuria. winning dozens of vic.
tories on the way. He was never once
defeated The Chinese called his
army "the Ever-Victorious Army" as
they had called Gordon's during the
TAPPING War His name became a
terror throughout Manchuria.
When he got back TO Japan moth
ing was good enough for him. He
was the idol of the people, and all
kinds of honors and Offices were show
cred upon him.
General Katsura believes that the
japanese soldiers are the best in the
world, and says that he would not
fear the result if he had TO lead them
against any white troops. If Japan
went to war with Russia, which many
people think is very likely to happen,
he would almost certainly be given
command OF the Japanese armies in
the field. There is little doubt that he
would give good account of himself.

that zebras could not be broken to the

Army, broke in a wild zebra in half
an hours time so thoroughly that il
could be ridden by a little girl. AT
Tring Park, in England. Walter
