nails pointing the same way on both
poles. Get a thin hath 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 bough
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 1t,
pull yourself up the rope as high as you
can, feet first, if you know how to do the
trick, and swing yourself yer the cross
piece as the picture shows.
1t is easy enough, as you will find
when you try it, but to make a 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
c~rosspiece pull on the rope, lifting your
whole body. You can pass over the
crosspiece at astonishing heights by his

rope vaulting an exciting and healthful
sport.-Chicago Inter Oceon.

ing the hole up with dirt, tree-gum and
everything else that will hold together
tenaciously. He does not cease till he
has absc .tely walled his mate in, leav-
Ing only her big bill exposed.
This, of course, makes her absolutely
safe, ven against such huge reptiles as
pythons and the mighty tree-climbing
monitor lizards, which live on birds al
most entirely. None of these, however
large, can achieve much against the saw
age beak 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 1t 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, butthat he will always select choice
particles for her out of his own food

''Why, now l see a little boy who's eating

BIRD WITH STRANGE BILL.
Rhinoceros HornbilI 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
a 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 a 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
ages to hold its own against the many
%serpents, tree-climbing cats and mon
keys of Borneo. But they have so many
enemies THAT they are driven to great
straits to preserve their nests and eggs
from these marauders.
The way. in which they do this is a
fine example of unselfishness among an
finals.
AS soon as the female has laid her
eggs in the hollow of a tree, the male
bird sets to word to seal her in, by clos

The Toilet of an, Elephant.

In an interesting little paper upon
the grooming of wild animals it a y
that from every point of view the
toilet of the elephant is by far the
most interesting performance of the
menagerie. 1t requires four weeks to
complete the toilet of a single eIe-
plant. The operation is very expen-
sive. The assistance of the elephants
valet de chambre must be engaged by
the day or week, while an experienced
valet-he is known by another name
must be engaged to superintend the
work, usually at a 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.

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

We are a railroad-riding people, and
are SO familiar with this mode Of
travel that it hardly ever occurs tc
any one-how much our safety depends
on the vigilance of many, but particu.
larly OF n 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
a 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 a train sheet,
forces his mind, when other men are
asleep, to visualize the long, winding
miles of his division-its trains, it's
passing tracks and curves, it's towers
and stations, its 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
n meets in the street car or in the
crowd. He cannot choose hia 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
with strong cigars for the strain Of
one night, because he must meet tho
conditions on the next night and
every night. No one marvels con-
corning him; nc one coddles him; no
one pays any attention whatever to
him. until, after perhaps, 1000 or 5000
such nights successfully passed, he
makes n night a mistake, a fatal
mistake. and from those people who
never forget anything q
cry for vengeance goes up. Other men
may make mistakes; not the Dispatch
er. His nerves must be iron and must |
never flag. never wear. Sitting In his |

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor a
large one) goes wrong. nothing is SO
important Eas the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.

old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no o n had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being SO weak, he was frequently

Il decided a change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for a visic.
When We got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When I reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I
had never used the food, We got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowiHe and, when later on my girl
came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph / send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now, but

DUT in spite of the overwhelming testi-
- mony of Scripture and of those to-
day who have proved again and again
the power and efficacy of prayer, how
prayerless are the lives of many of Gods
children. I heard the story, a true story.
Of a little boy Christian and his joy in
receiving answer to prayer. He was
t~rudging along with a heavy basket on
his arm. 1t was a lonely country road
and darkness was falling fast. Home
was yet a long way ahead. He tugged
at the basket and struggled on until
it seemed to him as though he would
drop. What could he do? Well, he
might have done a good many things.
He might have sat down and cried. He
might have grown cross and impatient.
All, how many of us would under like
circumstances? But he did not. He was
a little Christian who prayed, and when
he got into a place where he did not
know what to do he would talk to Jesus
about it. So he set his basket down by
the roadside, and kneeling behind some
bushes, asked help to get home. He was
30 absorbed In his little prayer that he
did not hear the carriage on the soft turf
road draw near the spot and then STOP
His prayer ended he came out to begin
again his weary tramp homeward, and
there before him was a carriage waiting.
The driver had seen the basket and
stopped in wonder. And as he saw the
little boy come from the bushes he in
vited him to ride with his basket into
town. And the prayer was answered.
1t is in just such little experiences of life
where God wants us to talk with Him
and ask His guidance and help. And He
will never fail us. Form the prayer
habit, and your life will be filled with
peace and joy which>c come from a sense
Of the fellowship of God and His over
ruling care and p~rovidences. Will
David let us say: Evening, and morn
ing, and at DON will I pray, and cry
aloud, and He shall hear my voice"
