Archers were formidable part of all
ancient armies, and the use of the bow
seems to have been known to all nations
when first discovered. The Scythians
were the best ancient archers, and the
English among the moderns. The vic
tories of Cressy, Poictiers and Agincourt
we're chiefly gained by the English
archers. The Scythian bow was of horn.
The English long bow was five feet six,
and they were made Of steel and brass.
Arrows were from three to five feet.
Ash was used by the English, and goose
feathered, two of the fedges white and
one black. The heads were iron or
brass, with light steel points and small
barbs. The strings were Of gut or hide
or hemp. A sheaf of arrows was twenty
four, and the archer was armed with a
maui and dagger. The English archer
drew to the ear steadily. A furlong was
the distance of the butt in shooting at
marks. The Parthians and other nations
had horse archers.

Missouri recently lost $500, 900 by the
failure of a weak bank in which, for the
sake of high interest, the State treas

of United States bonds, and pays only
two and a half per cent. interest, and
the interest is to go to the State, instead
