birds that have just begun to build
their rough nests in the chalky crev.

sued this perilous calling for many
years, is known locally as 'the king
of the egg hunters" He is a bluff,
weather SCARED man of the sea, with
as much nerve and agility as are pos
.sessed by the most daring steeplejack.
Wilkinson wears an old helmet to
protect his head from the pieces of
rock dislodged by the rope by which
he is suspended in midair Around
his body he buckles a kind of leather
hammock, in which he is able to sit.
On his arms he wears leather protect

Lower away, boys he cries, as he
swings himself over the brink in an
almost horizontal position and presses
each foot firmly against sthe chalk
surface. Three of the tnen seize the
rope, and foot by foot the intrepid
climber is lowered till his CHEEKY
voice is lost amid the furtering sounds
of the disturbed birds. He swings
from nest to nest rotting each egg
carefully in bag slung over his
shoulder. As soon as his bag is full he
gives the hoist up signal on the
guide rope and the men haul him up.
Wilkinson makes several descents
and at the end of the day shares the
spoil with his assistants, who sell the
eggs for eating purposes to the IN

SOLDIERS AND FOOTBALL.

Army and Navy Journaal.-To face
death in battle when duty demands
it is one thing, but to face it in sport
is simply criminal folly. One hears
the same arguments in support oflthis
dangerous sport that in my ybuth
were, urged in favor of the duel and
reading of Lecky's European Nor
ais shows that the same arguments
were put forth in favor Of the bloody
contests of the arena.
The English are a race thoroughly
imbued with the true spirit of sport,
for they do not sit around and fhol-
ler'' while a few picked men do all
the work, but indulge in game;I yet
they do not countenance our dan
gerous form of the game.
The prize fighter, Jim Jeffries, made
some very sensible remarks on the
subject, bringing out the point that
any game in which several men can
attack one is, ipso facto, brutal and
coWardly.
The fact that the civil war was
fought, and pretty well fought, by
10th parties to the contest in lpro-
found ignorance of the game of foot
ball, it seems to me, is a sufficient
answer to the claim that this game
Is necessary to develop true soldieriy
instincts.
To court danger needlessly IN
game or battle is not to be in accord
with the professional business OF
army and navy officers" it is to vio-
late the fundamental principle of mill
tary training. Enlisted men have
dinned into their ears from the time
they pass the recruiting officer the
necessity of keeping themselves in
the best physical condition, as they
cannot tell at what moment they may
be called upon to undertake some
arduous duty that will demand all
