The rhinoceros Is the stupidest old fellow in all Africa, according to Carl Akeley, the distinguished naturalist and chief taxidermist of the American Museum of Natural History- In hit autobiography, "In Brightest Africa." Mr. Akeley tells how he discovered, quite by accident, that a rhino's charge is not necessarily fatal. I was going along the bank of the of the way of doing things was all his own. He scraped earth and plaster out of a corner and sat down to make a little model of the landscape on the table, following the contours of the map. He did it extraordinarily neatly, for, like all great hunters, he was as deft as a weaver-bird. He puzzled over it for a long time, and conned the map till he must have got it by heart. Then he took his field-glasses a very good| single Zeiss which was part of the spoils from Rasta's motor-car and and pray for the rent of their days at Tana Rlver one day wltn my came ra.' his shrine.

About this time of year mothers and aunts of growing girls are searching their brains for new ideas that will bring pleasure on Christmas I>y ; Perhaps one of the c^'ef puzzles Is to find a book th*'.. the teen-age girl will pronounce "the beet ever." Last year .an.anusually fine story, "Judy of York Hill," came from the pen of a Canadian writer, Ethel Hume Bennett Thou- sands of girls will this year welcome a book by the same author, "Camp Ken-Jockety" (which means "Far from the madding crowd") is a whole- some tale of a summer spent near Georgian Bay in the far-famed High- lands of Ontario. Our old friend Judy Benson appears in this story, but the chief interest centres around Joyce Hamilton, an American girl, and her novel experiences as the guest of that delightful Canadian family, the David- sons. Joyce learns all the Joys of out- door life, and finds beauty in Can- adian poetry and romance in Can- adian history. This attractive story is well worthy of a place on your daughter's bookshelf.

Pity me, Dick, for I have seen honesty and virtue put to the shambles and have abetted the deed when it was done. It will haunt me till my dying day." I did not stop to console him, for my mind was on fire with his news. "Then the prophet is gone, er, I cried. and the I were left to our reflections. Peter must have found something uncommon interesting, for he stayed on the roof the better part of the day. It was a dull job for us, since there was no light, and Blenkiron had not even the consolation of a game of Pa- tience.

We often hear the expression, "he has no more idea of how to spend money than a child." It is unfortun- ately true that a great many people have no sense of money value, and this is even more true of children, which is also unfortunate. Very young chil- dren cannot be taught to estimate money properly, of course, but after a child has reached school age and is studying enough arithmetic to enable him to compute sums and do addition and subtraction, he can be taught money values in both very important senses of the word. People are coming more and more to the idea of an allowance for the child who has no way of earning money. They are delegating certain purchases to the child himnelf, increasing these with his age and increase in allowance, and feel that when he does reach the age that he can become a real wage- earner or own a farm or run a busi- ness for himself, he will be much more capable of the proper distribution and saving of his funds. The reason a great many people have no sense of money values is be- cause they never had money until they earned it themselves upon reaching maturity. Childhood lessons make much deeper impressions than those that have to be learned later in life. The child who must save his money to j The sleeve may "be finished in wrist buy a coveted toy will also be more | length with a band cuff or in elbow careful of the toy when he geU it, and i length with a turned back cuff.
