Eats 600 POunds Daily.
Since the elephant's' digestive
functions are very rapid, it requires
a lerge amount of fodder daily -
about 600 pounds in most ewes. In
its wild Oates the elephant feeds
heartily but wastefully. It is care-
ful in selecting the few forest trees
that it like's for their bark 'in. 'foli-
age, but it will tear down branches
and leave hail of them untouched.
It will strip off ,the batk from other
trees and throw away a large per -
tion.
Good Habits.
Rules for good work fail without
good habits-. Good habits are the
physical basis of good work. 'Rus-

this is not true. No man can be at
his best whose brain is inflamed by
drinkor whose nerves are shaken
by narcotics. And we must be at
our best. More and more other
men ere determined to be at their
best. If every man is not at his
best it is his ownlault.

•, Necessity of Rest. „ •
Ye▪ ars ago I discovered it -was a
spiritual as well as a physical ne-
cessity to have intervals, of rest
throughout ' the day --rest 'even
• from the companionship of those
loved the most dearly, writes a mo-
ther. My body 'So often became,
overtired -from pressure sof work
that falls to the lot of every mo-
ther; ney nerves sympathized as
every good neighbor should, and
my spirits ran at low ebb. But that
ambitious brairi-not' always • as
wise a neighbor as my nerves --
said: "Go on 1. Go on I There are
O dozen things to be done yet
and robeyed my poor, feolishbrain
until my whole body and nerveS
became slaves to an imperious
master. At last they revolted.
They made ' my -brain understand
that its servants, -wore not doing as
good work, nor as much, tinder the
whiplash of injustice, and it wise -
lit changed its method, "Rest every
little while," it now said. "You
will work -with new zeal. You will
do more, and you will love your
work. Your children will catch
your' happy mood just as before they
caught your weary fretfulness."
'Since ,then I make , it a part of
ray religion to lie dewnon my- babk
in a quiet room when I ?mean to
feel tired,- and ' to relax every
reusele and clese my eyes (and my
inind if possible') to all eutward
things. It is a wonderful topic! It
never.fails to give me a new spiri-
tual unlift. My loved ones seem
incl.° lovely to me, my home more
attractive and I ani always glad
of life and the blessed privilege of
work. IJntil I began this practice
I had never realized how closely

cal bodies are, cm that Dred -out

"TIP" WAS 011‘r*-----IGINALLY
Interesting Account .of ,the Origin
of the Tipping System.
Jest when the custom of' tipping
started is rather &Smart to deter-
mine, but men ofeneans have prob-
ably been in the habit of giving
small -sums or small presenta to
those who served them ever since
the tinae freed servants WA the
plate of slava. But wluttever this
fee was called at the beginning„,it
has bee,n. known as "tipping" for
hundreds of years.
It is true that eervants at inns
were paid- by their employers to
wait upon the gueete, and there-
fore, there 130835, apparently, no
need of paying them ke something
they were already paid for. But in
the inns in England, which were
moatly emall housea there were
frequently time -s when many tra-
vellers gathered •at one inn, and as
there- were few servants, some of
tbe guests had to await their turn
to be served, Naturally- some of
these guests would 11131)41 a servant

vant to wait apen him and his party

tilethere is no doubt that this
is how tipping' started, in England
et ,-least, he manner in which, this
custom came to be called by that
name is very simple', To make mat-
ter) easier, te urge the servants to

Ring Alfonso is Patella.
King Alfonso of Spain is said to
be a fatalist, and being of this tem-
per he is able to derive enjoyment
from occurrences that would
affright more ordinary mortals. A
knife that he knotaked out of the
hands of an assassin is hung up in
his den. On his wedding -day an
attempt was made on his Iife end
the next day he calmly visited the
spot in an automobile anti genially
pointed out to his .young wife -the
epot where the 'assassin stood, Al -
tense's fataling may have a founda-
tion in the feet that he is the thir-
teenth Alfonso.
The Great Ocean Depths.
The greatest known ocean depth

is approximately the same as the
greatest land height, but the aver-
age depth of the ocean bed is about
12,000 feet, as against the average
land height above sea level of 2,300
feet. The oceans, including the in-
land seas connected with them, co-
ver about 144,600,000 equate miles,
or 73.39 per cent, of the total sur-
face of the earth, and the volume of
water estimated to be contained in
them is 323,800,000 cubic utiles.
Weird TVedding Ceremony.
When two Negaitoe,,a people of
the Philippine Islande, are united,
the whele tri36 is anembled, and
the affianced pair °limb two trees
growing near „easali other. The el-
ders then bend the branches until
the heads of the couple meet. When
the heads have thus come into con-
tact, the marriage is legally accom-
plished, and great rejoicings take
place, a fantastic dance completing
the ceremony.
