former or slow down to escape the
nuisance. Yet this is no uncommon
practice.
If a member of the club persists in
placing his feet upon the library table
it is not necessary to call police
man to make him behave like a gem
tleman. The example of his club
mates will effect the desired result,
or, at most, a hint will bring him to
his senses. No more should the hu-
initiating "holdup" of a country con-
stable be necessary to teach automo-
bilists how to act.
A gentlemanly Difference to the COM
fort and convenience of other road
users-to drivers of automobiles, to
drivers of horses. and to pedestrians
would bring about a mutual under
standing that soon would eliminate
the antipathy toward automobilists as
a class that is still prevalent in many
parts of the Countrywide Club Jour

the safety and comfort of others are
far from possessing the true spirit Of
road courtesy.
Every driver is aware that when he
exceeds speed limits he is liable to
arrest; if he sees a policeman he slack
ems his speed to avoid arrest; but
should the presence of an officer of the
law be necessary to enforce ordinary
courtesy in the use of thoroughfares
that belong to all citizens in common?
An automobilist, first of all, ought
to be a gentleman. But is 1t the act
of a gentleman to dash promiscuously
through crowded streets, frightening
women and children, and placing every
one along his course in peril of greater
or less degree?
Nor is 1t the act of a gentleman to
drive a car madly past another in the
road and then slow down in front so
that the occupants of the latter either
must swallow the dust stirred by the

couRTEslEs OF THE ROAD

What are the courtesies of the road?
No need to inquire what the cour-
tesies of the club. Every one knows
the courtesies of the home. But how
many know the courtesies of the road?
Automobiles are more or less ia
miliar with the rules of the road; the
zealousness of police officials has for
chilly impressed upon some of them
the laws of the road; but few, COM
paratively, know and practice the
courtesies of the road.
Yet an appreciation and exchange of
courtesies on public highways is more
essential to an amicable understanding
among all classes of road users than
mere observance of rules that are
backed by law. Automobiles who

THE GIRAFFE.
Africa's Second Story Worker With
the Long Distance Neck.

Afrioa's Second Story Worker With
the Long Distance Neck.
The giraffe is the second story work
er of the animal kingdom. 1t is a
merger Of the zebra and the camel and
IS also q distant relative Of the palm
tree The giraffe consists Of eight feet
Of neck equipped with a body at one
end and a head at the other. In the
matter Of neck If has all the rest Of
the animal kingdom beaten by a
length. The CRATES mouth is located
so far from its stomach that it has
to eat today to appease tomorrow's APP
petite Many a giraffe has starved to
death while the first meal it had eaten
for two weeks was slowly travelling its
transcontinental esophagus
The giraffe looks as if it had started
out to be a zebra. but. having reached
the shoulders, had kept on going. 1t is
very dark in color, marked by yellow
ish brown stripes in a handsome lin
oleum pattern. 1t lives on tree tops,
eagles nests and rainbows. During
the Boer war the British army had
some difficulty with CRATES, which
formed a great liking for war balloons
and frequently nibbled them during
their fight in order to inhale the gas.
Why does the giraffe have a long
distance neck2 Persons given to the
use Of common sense will realize that
Africa is rich in insect life as well as
animal life and that all African ami
mails carry innumerable parasites on
their hides The CRATES head is so
far from his body that a long neck is
absolutely necessary in order that he
may reach down and grab off tick
from his fetlock when necessary.
Even a child could see this.-Collier's

Ready Replies.

struse question Of which he knew
nothing. LET him alone" cried an
other derisively. Don't you see he's

said Lord Carmarthen with ready wit,
that it is high time for all babies to
be in bed" and so saying he gathered
up his papers and disappeared from
the platform.

Scottish Miners Wit.

An amusing comment was made by
a miner at an ambulance lecture in
Elphinstone. East Lothian. The lee
turer had stated that If suffocation
from choking was likely to ensue thu
simplest remedy to give relief till med
ical aid arrived was to take fine
pointed penknife and make a small In
cision in the throat. One Of the miners
then shouted: "Ye dinna ken Elphin-
stone folks. If was TO try that the
morn here's what wad happen: If that
man died his folk wad hae me prose
cuted for murder, and if he got better
he himself wad be the first TO prose
cute me for cutting his throat."-Dun-

Extracting Wood Oil.

Chinese wood oil is obtained from
the nut of the wood oil tree by press
ing or extracting. The color Of the oil
varies with the method Of extraction.
In China it is usually heated strongly
and is consequently very thick and
black Wood oil forms very durable
lacquer for wood, far surprising boiled
linseed oil in hardness and perma-
nence The oil possesses the peculiar
ity Of drying more quickly in damp
than in dry weather The residue of
the nuts left after the removal Of the
oil is a good fertilizer, which possess
es the valuable property Of destroying
insects which feed on the roots Of
plants.-Scientifc American.

A LION HUNT.

Usually a Case In Which Hunters
Goad the Game Into Combat
There is a distinction in Africa be
tween ordinary lions and imam eat
ers." saws T. r. MacMechen in Nc
Cures Magazine The ordinary lion
does not willfully attack man. The
presence Of lions roaming at night on
the veldt is not disturbing to any ma
tive nor to whites who have come to
understand the beast. Persons return
ing to their camps after nightfall do
not notice the roaring Of lions or the
cries Of leopards or hyenas.
It is seldom that people bent upon
domestic errands carry weapons in the
darkness, although at night the veldt
of British East Africa is alive with
roaming beasts. which may be heard
from the verandas Of the houses
Lions give the passing man a wide
berth, day or night, when it is appar-
ent that he means no mischief. An
ordinary lion, even when wounded,
will try fight before fight When its
escape is disputed it viii, especially if
wounded, try to maui its enemy with
teeth and claws.
A lion hunt is usually a chase in
which the hunters goad the game into
combat. Once lion has tasted human
blood, however, it is no more afraid Of
man. but learns that he is the weak
est of animals and the choicest of
meat. Such lion is known as man
eater because now be hunts man.
