Telephone In A Flower Bed.

Looking out Of the windows OF Uei-

German soldier bending over flower
bed on the grounds of the railway station
He seemed TO be attertively examining
the flowers. As he knelt there ne ire
ouently moved his hands gently among
the blossoms as ifhe were caressing them.
"See." said TO one OF my cempan-
ions. "there is that beautiful German love
Of flowers again. With the ruins of whole

An Elephant Woodehopper.

In the Undertaking department Of
the forest service of India, the elephant
has proved himself an eminently useful
workman. His combination of enormous
strength and high intelligence is very
valuable when he has to cope with the
giant trees OF the dense Jungle. Ana or
all the elephants in the service, hlrs. Nj.
A. Handley says, in "Roughing II in
Southern India" none was so wise as
Rama.
Rama was the one the men always
chose for any special task that needed
great judgment. often saw him thus
engaged when huge tree had TO be
feled. On one occasion, remember, it
was OF such height and girh that itwould
have been risky TO: the men to be any
where near at the last. in case il should
give way too suddenly, or lurch over
sidewise. But it could not fall backward,
so Rama's business was to push it over,
when the two axemen had hewn deeply
enough to make that possible; and when
that moment had come he was TO be the
Judge.
A space was first cleared for the fall OF
the giant tree, where ii could do no harm.
Rama was evidently the brain OF the
partnership, for when the men were
pretty we'll through the trunk, they con-
suited him by stopping and looking at
him. That meant that he was TO test it
to see whether they should go on cutting
any longer. He knew by trying with his
forehead how much resistance the tree
still offered how he knew is the marvel.
for no one could teach him that; but
know he did. 1t was supremacy inter-
esting to watch him stand, with his grand
head pressed against the trunk, every
mnscle in his body taut. but only for a
feN seconds in order not to waste his
strength. Then, if his judgment declined
the task, he would step aside torthe axe
men to put in another ringing stroke or
two; and again il WAS their turn 10 stand
by while Rama made another trial. He
knew, without having been taught, the
importance ofattacking the weakest point,
and brought all his strength to bear on
that AS soon as he was satisfied, the
men were, nor would they have dared to
give a single extra blow. Not having his
intutive knowledge, they left everything
to him, their own safety included.
When Rama's instinct told him he could
fell the tree, he did not move aside, but
lifted his head and looked all round, in
way that said plainly enough that the
time had come for all TO keep clear, that
he was now going to pit himself against
the tree, and that the tree would have 10
60. Not until everyone was at a safe dis
lance would he begin. Then, again
lowering his head, he pressed and press
ed, with forehead and bent knee, while
the tree creaked and groaned, and at last
fell over just where it was meant to fall.
The men and the elephant were trembling,
for it had been task OF strength and
nerve for all of them. Then the axe
men did pretty thing; they went up to
old Rama, and rubbing their faces against
his, kissed him
