nails pointing the same way on both
poles. Get thin lath or slender stick,
long enough to reach between the posts
and light enough to rest on the nails
Now climb up to the limb Of the tree
and tie your rope in place on the Dough,
just over the center of the posts. The
rope should reach to within two feet Of
the ground.
Now stand a few feet away from the
crosspiece, swing yourself toward it,
pull yourself up the rope as high as you
can, feet first, if you know how to do the
trick, and swing yourself over the cross
piece as the picture shows.
1t is easy enough, as you will find
when you try it, but to make vault
seven of eight feet high-well, that is
another matter.
The secret of high rope vaulting is to
grasp the rope as far from the ground as
possible, throw your BODY backward,
raise your feet till they point nearly
straight up, and as you swing toward the
crosspiece pull on the rope, lifting your
whole body. You can pass over the
crosspiece at astonishing heights by his
means and you and your friends will find
rope vaulting an exciting and health1ul
sport-Chicago Inter Oceon.

TABLE MANNERS.

The bluejay is greedy bird; often watch
him eat, ..
When crumbs are scattered from our door
he snatches all the treat,
He drives the smaller birds away, his man
ners are SO rude
It's quite a shocking thing to see him COB
bic down his food
And sometimes when I'm not polite, I hear
my mother say:
why, now see little boy who's eating
b1uejay way!'
The sparrows are noisy set and very
quarrelsOme,
Because each hungry little bird desires the
biggest crumb,
They scold and fight about the food, all
chirping me! Me! Me'
And sometimes when We children are in
clined to disagree
About the sharing of treat, my mother
says: "Why, you
Are acting now the very way the silly SPAR
rows do!''
The jolly little chickadees are perfectly po-
lite,
They never snatch, they never bolt, they
never, never fight,
They hold the crumbs down daintily with
both their little feet,
And peck off, tiny little bites-we love to
watch them eat!
AND when my sisters good at meals, my
mother says: II see
A attic girl who's eating like a darling
chickadee!'

SPORT OF ROPE vAULTlNG.
An Exciting and Healthful Exercise
for Boys Used to Ordinary
Athletic Sports. Il

OF course, most Of our boys know all
about high jumping and pole vaulting,
but have you ever heard of rope vault
ing?
All you really need is a good stout
rope, a tree limb to hang it to, and some
thing to jump over, but it is very much
more fun to do it exactly right.
Get two boards or strips of boards,
about eight feet high. On one side
of each of these drive small nails little
way into the wood, about an inch apart,
leaving the head and about half the nail
sticking out. Leave two feet of one end
Of your pole or strip of wood free from
nails.
With a sharp stake make two holes
in the ground beneath the tree limb that
is to hold your rope. Make these holes
about six feet apart and about Is inches
deep. Now put your posts into the holes
and drive them firmly in place with the

ing the hole up with dirt, tree-gum and
every thing else that will hold together
tenaciously. He does not cease till he
has absc- ~,sely walled his mate in, leav-
ing only her big bill exposed.
This, of course, makes her absolutely
safe, even against such huge reptiles as
pythons and the mighty tree-climbins
monitor lizards, which live on birds al
most entirely. None Of these, however
large, can achieve much against the say
age bealz of the rhinocerous hornbill.
OF course. the penned-in bird cannot
feed herself, so the male is kept busy
throughout the brooding season in car
rying food to her; and it has been OBJ
served by naturalists that the faithful
and unselfish husband will not only feed
his mate before he satisfies his own hun
ger, but that he will always select choice
particles for her out of his own food

BIRD WITH STRANGE BILL.
Dhinoceros Hornbill of Borneo Is a
Creature That Is Equally Gu
rious and Unselfsh.

One Of the most remarkable and least
known birds in the world is the wonder
full rhinocerous hornbill.
1t lives in the high fruit FORESTS Of
Borneo, and, although it occurs there in
flocks so great that their wings make
e sound like thunder when they are dis
turbed, yet few travellers see them, be-
cause their dwelling places are so diff
cult to reach.
The natives call them sungungs, but.
as will be seen from the picture, the
name of rhinocerous hornbill is about as
descriptive one as could be devised.
A fine pair of them is to be seen in the
bird cases of the national museum in
Washington.
Despite its enormous bill, the bird is
an excellent and swift flyer, and man.

serpents, tree-climbing cats and mon

enemies that they are driven to great
straits to preserve their nests and eggs
from these marauders.

fine example of unselfshness among an
imals

DISPATCHER RUNS TRAINS.
Although One Rarely Hears About
Him, he Is the Real Railroad
Nerve Center.

We are railroad-riding people, and
are so familiar with this mode OF
travel that it hardly ever occurs to
any one how much our safety depends
on the vigilance of many, but particu-
larly of one who may be termed the
nerve-center of the road. He is the
train dispatcher and of him and his
work Frank H. Spearman thus speaks
in the Outlook:
The work of this marvel, fixing for
moment the attention of the world,
is only the work of the train dispatch
er, who, sitting under his night lamp,
blindfolded by four white walls, his
right hand on the key and his eye
fastened on the figures of train sheet,
forces his mind, when other men are
asleep, to visualize the long, winding
miles of his division-its trains, its
passing tracks and curves, it's towers
and stations, it's semaphores and
switches. AT 20 points in the darkness
of his night, and depending for safety
on the clear, instant working of his
mind, are swiftly moving trains of
Pullman cars loaded with sleeping men
and women whose waking rests with
him alone. This man is no genius; he
is the plain, everyday American that
one meets in the street car or in the
crowd. He cannot choose his days for
playing his games; he plays every day
from eight a. m. till four p. M, or from
four till midnight; or he takes his
transfer at midnight and sits in his
chair through the last watches Of the
night. He cannot play 20 games and
rest; he must for eight hours be ready
steadily for every game that comes
over the wires against him, whether of
of storms, blockades, breakdowns or
wrecks. He cannot load up with coffee
or with strong cigars for the strain Of
one night, because he must meet the
same conditions on the neat night and
on every night. No one marvels con-
corning him; no one coddles him; no
one pays any attention whatever to
him. until, after perhaps, 1000 or 5000
such nights successfully passed, he
makes one night a mistake, a fatal
mistake, and from those people who
themselves never forget anything .
cry for vengeance goes up. Other men
may make mistakes; not the dispatch
er. His nerves must be iron and must
never fag, never wear. Sitting in his
den he directs his train moveme ITS
every day and his life, burned out like
the electric current at his key, is one
OF the little sacrifices we exact as the
price OF our living in the country and
doing business in the city, of crossing
continent in days instead of weeks,
of getting our letters with the speed of
kilograms and our papers and maya
zines wet from the distant press.

majah an the general both stood pat,
raisin' one another till all the chips
were in the pot.
1.-THE majah looked at his hand re-
gretful like, an said he hated to stop,
but he had no mo- moneh.
&c All, beg of you,' said the general,
not to let a small mattah like that in
terfere with your pokah.'
Gentlemen, All could see what the
majah was thinkin'-he was sayin' to
himself: All have $4,000 life insur-
ance that will go to nah daughter, an
All have hand that cahn't be beat;
an then he said:
All raise you $4,000, general
All call you with low straight
flush, majah,' replied the general.
1.-THE majah tossed TO- kings an an
ace into the discard an we all sat ST.
lent.
Then the general spoke:
" The wah is avah, gentlemen he
said, an we are together heah aftah a
long time. There amt any mo- con-
federate states except in our own
hearts. There amt much pleasure left
TO- any of us, but All would like to con-
sidah this evenin' as being one back
in the old times an undah the old con-
ditions. Majah, will you go to that
chest an bring me $4,000 in ouah
moneh?'
"The majah nevah said a word, just
went and brought II 81 900 confederate
bills to the general.
"Then, somehow, we found ourselves
standin' an drinkin' silent toast, not
to the confederacy, but to somethin
the end of the wah had not taken from
the south"
And then the colonel stopped shor
and looked solemn, and then, says thu

man that broke the silence.

The Toilet Of an Elephant.

In an interesting little paper upon
the grooming of wild animals it says
that from every point of view the
toilet of the elephant Is by far the
most interesting performance of the
menagerie. It requires four weeks to
complete the toilet of a single ele-
rphant. The operation is very expen-
sive. The assistance of the elephant
valet de chambre must be engaged by
the day or week, while an experienced
valet-he is known by another name
must he engaged to superintend the
WORK, usually at large salary. Then
again the soap used in the process
must be purchased by the hundred
weight, the sandpaper by the gross
and the oil, an important ingredient
is used by the barrel. The toilet of A
single elephant will not infrequently
cost as much as $500.
