For hringing into play all the mus
cles of the body there is scarcely any.
outdoor sport equal to archery. Then,
too.there.is a fascination about it which
few persons, after having once learned
to shoot accurately with the bow and.
arrow, can resist. If blunt arrows are
used there is little or no danger of per
sonal Injury, while for hunting if the
bow is used with pointed shafts, it is,
at close range, fully as effective and al
most as accurate as the rifle.
Bows are of various "weights." By,
this Is meant the number of pounds
in stieugth required to bend One not
the weight of the bow literally. A
thirty-pound bow is about ripht for
boy of ten or twelve. "irls should use
one somewhat lighter. A lad of six
teen or eighteen will find a tifty-pound.
bow quite heavy enough.
There are higher weights, runninj'
up to eighty and one hundred pounds.
These are powerful weapons sutlicicnt
ptish firmly with the left hancl until
the arrow-head rests on the left fore
finger. Look straight and hard at the
center of the target, but do not try to
sight along the arrow. Direct It entire
ly by the sense of feeling. Let go.
The first few shots will probably fly
wild, but very little practice ie neces
sary toMearn to shoot, and shoot well.
WheaJthrough shooting, even for an
hour, unstring the bow. Allow It to
rest. Never put it away strung.
After each day's shooting rub and
polish it with oil, or. better still. Avith
a mixture of oil and wax. A good bow
requires even more attention than a
rifle. It will do better service if kept
wrapped in oil-skin or green baize.
The object is to prevent all moisture
entering the grain and libre of the
wood.

to bring down a deer, a bear, or other
large game, and entirely too heavy for
target use. The old English rule that
a bow's length should equal the height
i of the person using it is a good one to
i follow.
) Arrows vary in length to suit the bow.
J from sixteen inches to three feet. The
point or head is called the "pile; tne
shaft is termed the "stede:" the notch
at the feathered end the "neck."
Not only the bow. but arrows, quiv
er and entire outfit may be made at
home. For the bow choose a straight,
well-seasoned springy piece .of wood
free from knots.
It is not necessary to use any one
particular kind. Mulberry, hickory and
red oak are all suitable, and good bows
have been made from hazel, white ma
ple, and even poplar. The writer once
got an excellent one out of the broken
tongue of a mowing machine, which
was of tough white ash; another from
an old sleigh shaft, which was either
oak or hickory, so old and brown it was
hard to determine which.
Trim down the stick selected, mak
ing the back of the bow flat and the
inside round, taking care of the wood.
The ends should taper a little. Test
the bow occasionally, until it bends
with sufficient ease. The tips should be
made flat on both sides, with a notch
for the string. Around the middle glue
a hand-piece of felt or velvet.
The string must be about six inches
shorter than the bow. Strong thread,
like that used by shoeinakers.doubled
and twisted several times, makes a
very good bow-string. Make a loop in
the ends, fastening them with a "fig
ure 8." or similar knot which will not
slip. The bow. however, should never
be strung except when in use.
An Indian bow is made broad and
flat instead of rounded, except where
the hand rests. This portion must be
whittled round and left rather large.
The bow should be about two inches
wide above and below the hand-space,
and narrow gradually towards tbe
ends. The back! may be ornamented
with .red, black and 'yelloir palnt with,
the heads of brass tacks or with any
other appropriate decoration.
The most difficult thing In making
arrows Is to get them perfectly
straight. Rolling hem over a flat sur
face will generally show any imper
fection in this respect. After whittling
them to the desired thickness, scrape
and sand paper well, liuishing off with
emery paper until smooth. Lead
points may be moulded on after first
cutting a notch around the end of the
shaft. A better plau. however, is to
use an empty cartridge shell weighted
with af ew drops of lead. For sharp
points use a nail. After driving it into
place, tile off the head. This gives
weight enough without adding lead.
To make an arrow fly straight it
must be flattened. Select the largest
quills obtainable and carefully pare
off the feathered portion. At equal
distances around the shaft glue the
strips of feathers and trim off until
een. Hair cloth or stiff paper may be
used if feathers are not to be had.
A quiver or case for holding the ar
rows, may be made of a cylinder. An

I'olHeiiesa Won the Day.
A gentleman from the West told a
good story the other day of a meeting
between his dog and an organ-grinder's
monkey that will bear repeating:
One day an Italian organ-griixler,
accompanied by a trained monkey,
wandered into our town, and the man
stopped before my house to play. The
monkey was an intelligent little fellow
aud was attired in a jacket and cap.
While his master was grinding out the
music the monkey hopped down from
the organ where he had been sitting,
and jumping the fence, eame up Into
my yard. He was at once spied by a
foxterrier of mine, and the dog made
a rush at him. The monkey awaited
the onset with such undisturbed tran
quility that the dog halted within a
few feet of hiin to reconnoitre. Both
animals took a long, steady stare at
each other, when suddenly the monkey
raised his paw and gracefully saluted
his enemy by raising his hat. The ef
fect was magical. The dog's head aud
tail dropped, and he sneaked off into
the house, and would not leave it un
til satisfied that his polite but myster
ious guest had departed."
The .lumping- Merrythought.
Here is an interesting suggestion.
When the turkey has b. eu duly s?rved
and nothing is left but a pile of bones,
pick out the "merrythought," the bone
which is shap"d like the one shown in
the illustration.
Stretch across the bone a double
string, aud twist the String around a
piece of stick which just reaches to the
top of the bone. On this point place a
bit of soft pitch, or any very sticky
substance strong enough to grip the
end of the sdck; then place the "mer
rythought" on the table, and when the
twisted string has overcome the resist
ance of the pitch the bone will jump
high into the air. On this principle
"jumping frogs" are made.

open and roll back slightly on the
edges.
Then a circular ring appears, sur
rounding a deep cup. in the center of
which is the ovary. Below the edges
is a kind of gallery, wherein are numer

pollen.
The remarkable feature of the flower
is its colossal si.e. the largest species
being thirty-nine inches in diameter.
The central cup holds six quarts of
liquid, and the total weight of the
flower is over fifteen pounds.
An Actor Wlio I'nwiieit Jliiut-lf.
A curious story Is told of Gustarus
Hronke. th- celebrated tragedian. Al
ways fond of a frolic, ami often Ij.-ing
without money, he '-onee'ived the notion
of "raising the wind" on one occasion
by piwning himself. His bi netit was 1
aiiiiouueid. and a big gathering was
expected at the theater at whi -h he
was engaged. He knew that Kichard
HI. could not be p'ayel with "Kichaid" ;
on ihe -helves of a pa wnhop. and so he
walked into a pawnbroker's shop, ex
plained who he wa. and pi dged him
self for C2.
The pawnbroker ticketed the trage
dian, and deposited him in a corner
of his sh p. P. 'for. he "retired" th
actor wrote a note to his manager, in
forming him of the circumsram e. and j
itiMrucled the pawnbroker to deliver it !
at the theater an hou after the per
formance should have commenced. 1
The manager was in a state, of great !
consternation. The tragedian could not
be found in any of his :re ustoncd
haunts, and he wa obliged to apolo
gize to tin' audience and start the even
ing with a fare ins cad of a tragedy.
.lust as the farce was enuring to an
end the manager received Uiooke's
note. and. taking a cab. found the at tor
at the pawnbroker's munching bread
and cheese. he manager at once re
deemed ill,-' human pledge and returne 1
to the theater. London Answers.
