ments of the United States and Ja- pan will in future render us the treat ment and privileges equal to other most favored nations.
 It is d WeH-knoWn fact that in the few years since 1907 the Japanese have rushed to the Pacific coast of the United States in great number, be- cause of inducement made by the number of fires sponsible immigration companies and industrial associations The most of the Japanese who came to this country at that period have re- sponded to the needs in railroad work
 The total number engaged in rail- road works around about 1908, is said to have been about 12.00O as accord ing to the report of credible au- thority. In recent years this number has been reduced to a comparatively small number, and in 1911, as the sta tistics show us. the number Of Japan csc engaged in railroad repairing and constructions is less than 5000 or about 65 per cent of the entire Japan csc population of 76,000 in the United States of America. These stepped out of this occupation. as according to the opinions of the Japanese editors of Jaanese. American and New world, the largest Japanese publications in the United States, and of many leading men both Americans and Japanese in rural districts of California, are said to have settled down to some agricul- tural occupations.
 The number of Japanese engaged in this occupation is reported to be about 4 GOO out of the entire population of 7G 900 in America or over 50 per cent Of the said fl 900, 5000 are operating the farming enterprises while 3G,000 are simply trained laborers. But the reports tell us that the former is in creasing from year to year. Tn 1911 the acreage of land possessed by Jap anese people in the United States, is indeed 31,S14 acres. This tendency in Japanese people to prefer to cultivate the land rather than other occupations is an esta blished fact and confirms the fact that We are the people having the ability to settle down and make an ultimate home in this country.
 Although our eligibility to become a citizen of the United States of Amer ica is still held in question, our child ren and their children born in this country are citizens of the United States of America. According to the statistics given by the Japanese American Daily. the number of the native sons in California alone is 2,- 329 and that of native daughters is in well balanced number of 2,202; or total of 4531 native children are now in that state. But in this state of .A,izona the history of the Japanese society is as yet so young and the mat ter of home making has commenced but in the most recent years. and in fact the number Of couples in tine en- tire state of Arizona is not exceeding forty Yet the increase in future of. this number seems now an un1eniable

The screw-eyes shown on one side of
strips A are provided so the stan
dards can be pegged TO the ground as
in Fig.
Figs. 4, 5 and show in detail how
to prepare the peg supports for the
cross-bar or rope. Cut the block q
Zig. 81 equal to the width and thick
ness of the standard uprights and Q
inches long, and cut the tin strip D
long enough so that when its ends
are tackled to the sides Of block G it
will form a sleeve large enough for
the upright to slide through Gig. o..
Drive a nail into one side OF the block
for the cross-bar or rope to rest on,
and screw a screw-eye into the face
Of the block for a set-screw. This
screw-eye must have long enough
screw to extend through the block
and into the upright.
Mark off the length of each up
right. on one edge, into feet and
inches, as suggested in Figs. and
4. The reading at the top edge OF the
tin sleeve should show the correct
height of the top of the cross-bar or
rope above the ground; so the point
at which the nail pin is driven into
the block will be determined by the
thickness of the bar or the rope.
After laying off the measurements
with a rule and pencil, go over the
marks with small brush and paint,
to make them permanent.
A piece of clothesline is more salts
factory than a cross-bar, for, the rea-
son that it can be weighted at the
ends and be kept taut. A stick is al
most certain to bend at its center,
making a correction necessary when
reading the heights on the uprights;
besides. it is too easily broken when
kicked off or jumped upon to be sat
isfactory. unless there is an unlimit-
ed supply of long sticks near at hand.
The weights upon the ends of the
rope should only be heavy enough TO
take up the slack; If too heavy, the
rope will not knock off easily and
NAV trip the jumper. Fig. Z shows
most satisfactory weight. The size
of the block will depend, of course,
upon whether it is made of soft or

FOR THE OUTDOOR GYMNASIUM.

A pair Of jump standards is one of
the most important pieces of appa-
Satus for a boys backyard or vacant
5ot gymnasium. Here is good
scheme for making pair; also the
working drawings for jump board,
or slightly raised platform used to
take off, from in jumping Al
Enough primarily intended for indoor
work, to supply the spring lacking in
the wooden floor, the use of the jump
board out of doors will eliminate the
wearing of hollows in the ground at
che point of taking off,

Cut four strips 10 inches long, 2
inches wide and 1 inch thick, and nail
two of these to each of two opposite
sides of each upright, at one end and

draw diagonal line from end to end
as shown. and rip it along this line.
The two triangular pieces thus OBJ

platform. Cut the platform boards
16 inches long and nail them to the
supports. Then drive a nail part way
in, near each end of the supports, on
the under side, as in Fig. 10; these
nail ends will sink into the ground
and prevent the board from shifting
out of position. The regulation jump
boards are covered with heavy rub

find an old bicycle tire-a single tub

two pieces from it equal to the length
of the jump-board and tack them side

is MOST HUMAN OF BIRDS
Not Only in Talking, But Eating, the
Parrot Initiates Man, in Its Cap
tive State.

1t is not only in initiating human
the birds. The parrot is alone among
birds in taking food in it's claws. With
these two characteristics it makes more
or less use of that which distinguishes
humanity from the rest of the animal
kingdom-the hand and the larynx
The monkey uses it's hands and the
elephant it's trunk in feeding. Various
animals have a habit of paving their
food Rodents nave serviceable toes.
Still, the parrot is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard. The secretary
bird is said to attack reptiles with it's
claws, and some observers have said
that owls make partial use of their re-
markably flexible perching toe some
what more than does hen in scratch
ing for food. However, there is no other
bird which, when given a piece of food,
will accept it in it's claws.
Parrots, of course, do not talk, as
we use the word, in their wild state,
and are not known to be initiative OF
neighboring sounds nor to possess the
repertory of the hooking bird. 1t Is,
therefore, a question whether or not
their use of the claws is largely imita-
tive also. The shape of the parrots
oeak would indicate that some assis
ance in eating has always been a part
of the birds characteristics.
Like man, the parrot makes its ap.
pearance in the world naked and help
less.-Harper's Weekly.

She Married Him.

In a well-known colored school in
the south the lesson in general his
tory one day was on the life of Queen
Elizabeth.
Thomas, did Queen Elizabeth ever
marry?" asked the teacher.
Yes, ma'am, thing she did" re-
piled Thomas.
Are you quite sure?"
Eyes, ma am, the book says she did. =
1T does? Will you please find it?''
Whereupon Thomas opened to the
lesson and to the great amusement of
the teacher read the statement that
Queen Elizabeth was married to her
realm
There" said he, triumphantly,
doesn't it say she was married? /
don't exactly know who the gentleman
was. but it certainly says she married
him.

ORIGIN Of the gIoodhound.

The bloodhound is commonly be-
lieved to be derived from the Talbot
{the ancestors of the true hounds),
and thus from the st. Hubert Of the
Ardennes.
The latter dates from very early
times. certainly from those OF the
Gauls. In the eighth century it was
called the Flemish hound, of which
there were two strains, known as
the black (black and tam and the
white. st. Huberts were brought to
England at the conquest and again
in the time of James /. They were
deep-voiced dogs with great powers
of scent.

 NEW YORK. Aug 2s.-A movement has been set afoot now to make Gay nor the republican candidate for the mayorailty. In . letter to the public John Purroy Mitchell has declined the nomination of the Independence league and In this way the light is being narrowed down to Gaynor md Mccall until some new man Is placed in the field. The belief is that the republi . cans vii give 0aynor the nomination for no other purpose than to unite the 0aynor and republican and other forces to defeat Tammany. for this Is the chief aim of all politicians fin the city at the present moment unless of those who are Tammanyites themsel- yes.
