grave crisis" IL easily discovered

the microscope of ambition. IL is like

Tour years as well as eight years
hence.
The history OF France Affords a
striking example OF the folly OF a ma
ton placing too much confidence in
one man. No man ever strove harder
TO make the world believe that he was
an unselhsh patriot than did Napoleon
Bonaparte, and after he had over
thrown the first republic and had as
cended the imperial throne. he still
posed as the champion OF human
liberty.
But there is n rule upon which
We may safely depend to prevent such
conditions as formerly prevailed in
Mexico or which befell France, and
thai Is to serve notice 10 every poll
tcian. great or small. that the prece-
dent established by Washington shall
be forever honored. II Is far easier
to thwart the efforts OF an ambitious

than after the machinery has been
placed in his hands by means OF which
he may readily dominate politics and
may retain his grip as long as he may
desire.

enjoys the experience Whoever the
ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode of crossing river
he probably came from the jungles of
Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by means of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which is ap-
plicable to the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents, of eastern Tibet
and far western China. The obvious
way for natives to cross a river is by
canoe, but, unfortunately, neither the
Salween nor the Mekong. big as they
are, are navigable even for canoes in
Tibet. The single-way rope bridge
0vercomes every difficulty. Two small
platforms are made, one on either side
Of the river, one high up, the other 20
or 30 feet lower down; stout posts are
dri zen into the rock and the bamboo
rope is slung across from post to post,
and frightened SO that 1t slopes steeply
from one bank to the other. The
slider consists of half-cylinder OF
wood, about three inches In diameter,
having two slots cut in it's upper sur
face, one at either end, through which
pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man, baggage or animal is
tied, so that he hangs just beneath the
rope, and, being pushed off the plat
form, the slider carries him safely
over the river. 1t will be seen, there
fore. that two ropes are necessary at
each crossing, one for going each way.
The advantages of such system are
obvious. The rope is cheap to make
1t is quickly put in place and, though
1t will not stand the wear and tear OF
constant use for very long, it can be
replaced ina few hours. 1t can be
suspended so high above the river that
It is completely out of reach of sum-
mer floods, but very often 1t is only
few feet above the water at its lowest
point, and such ropes are under water
and impossible during the summer.
On the other hand, have seen ropes
as much as a hundred feet above the
river; they look rather alarming, but,
as matter Of fact, it would make no
difference whether one fell one hun
dred feet or Ave feet into such
river as the Mekong In Tibet. After a
few weeks use the rope begins to sag
at the lower end and may require
tightening UP, especially If animals are
being slung across; man can pull
himself up the last few feet, hand over
hand, or haul up box which has got
stuck, but an animal is helpless unless
he lands right on the opposite bank.
Hundreds of these single-way rope
bridges are in use on the Mekong and
Salween rivers alone, and they occur
a long way east of this on the La-lung
and Li-tang rivers, and many others.
But I have never seen one on the
Yangtze, which is too big river.-F.

sAILoW FACES
Often Caused by Tea and Coffee
Drinking.

How many persons realize that tea
and coffee so disturb digestion that
they produce a muddy, yellow COM
plexion?
A ten days trial of Postum has
proven a means, in thousands of cases,
OF clearing up a bad complexion.
A Washn young lady tells her ex-
perience:
All of us-father, mother sister and
hrother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
stomach troubles, more or less.
We all were sallow and troubled
with pimples, bad breath. disagreeable
taste in the mouth, and all of us simply
so many bundles of nerves.
We didn't realize that tea and COT
fee caused the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to bor-
row some from neighbor. She gave
us some Postum and told us to try
that.
Although We started to make X.
We all felt sure that we would be sick
If we missed our st~ong coffee, but we
tried Postum ana were surprised to
Ind it delicious.
