Some Rules for Archery.

From the Detroit Free Press
Hundreds and thousands OF young
ladies in Detroit have set up a target
and drawn the bow. and dozens and
scores OF doctors have pulled down
their signs and moved to Toledo
since this healthy outdoor amuse-
ment was inaugurated. Here and
there an archer or archeress obtains
printed rules and instructions to guide
the game, but the great majority
string up the bow, hang up the tar
get, and whang away without any IN
telllgence. The following rules will
apply to all, and in any locality:
Don't attempt to hold your bow
in both hands when you shoot.
If you shoot over the target lower
it. If you shoot under it have it ele-
waited.
When you miss the target and
plow a furrow along a boys scalp
tally two-one for the scalp and one
for the boy.
Either close both eyes or keep
both open when you shoot. Some
favor one method and some the other,
but odds are the difference, as long as
your father employs glazier by the
month.
Don't attempt curve shot. The
arrow is as apt to come down on the
baby's head as elsewhere.
Some girls squint up one eye and
hang out their tongue when they pull
the bow. This is absolutely neces-
sary to a line shot, though it does
look romantic.
There is no peculiar distance TO be
observed, but the nearer the target
you stand the more chance you have
Of hitting some one across the street
in the eye.
A centre shot is called "dufer -
missing the target is called "lone
hand;" biting the horse barn is
known to be ''phoopee;" missing
the barn and shooting your aunts
spectacles off her nose is called a
"tom-tom;" shooting across ayoung
mans shoulder is known as "shuffles; :
sitting down and shooting backwards
over your own head is known as''blut:
ing the game !" and holding spyglass
up to get a line shotis called missing
! the mark"

The Little Folks.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
A never-failing source OF amuse-
ment to the little folks of all ages, is
the making of scrap books. The ma
terials are almost always on hand.
Volumes of Patent Office reports, or
even small phamplets which have be-
come useless numbered in SO many
houses. can be made use Of in this
way. Cat out as many leaves as
seem necessary, perhaps every other
one, and you have foundation.
Provide the little ones with pair
OF blunt pointed scissors and let them
cut out and trim neatly the pictures
from papers you do not care to pre-
serve, circulars of farm machinery or
anything they fancy, and then, armed
with cup OF boiled starch and an
old tooth brush (if you have one), let
them exercise their ingenuity in fill
ing the book with their collections.
Quite small children find enchant-
ment in this kind of work. A large
picture may be put in the centre OF
the page, and the space filed up with
small ones, or short pieces OF prose
or poetry. l have seen very pretty
ornaments for these juvenile scrap
books cut out OF the illustrated books
for children, which had become badly
tattered with use so that the pictures
were all that was worth preserving,
When two pages are full the book
should be lett open until dry before
going on. This amusement need
not make much litter about the house,
and the little workers can easily learn
to pick up the scattering scraps attel
themselves, and wash up the starch
cup and brush after using it, SO that
it will be ready for the next rainy
day.

Kind Words.

They never blister the tongue or
lips, and we have never heard Of one
mental trouble arising from this
quarter. Though they do not cost
much, yet they accomplish much.
They help ones good nature and
good will. Soft words soften our
souls; angry words are fuel to the
flame of wrath, and make the blaze
more fierce. Kidd words make other
people good-natured; cold words
freeze people, and hot words scorch
them, and bitter words make them
wrathful. There is such a rush Of
all other kinds OF words in our days,
that it seems desirable to give kind
words chance among them. There
are vain words, and idle words, and
hasty words, and spiteful words, and
silly words, and empty words, and
warllke words. Kind words also
produce their own image on mems
souls, and beautiful image 1t is.
They soothe, and quiet, and comfort
the nearer. They shame him out OF
his sour, morose. unkind feelings.
We have not yet begun to use kind
words in such abundance as they
ought to be used.-PdscGI

from the home-nest, pause moment
and remember that this is so. 1t is
right that the hour should come
when you, in your turn, should be-
come wife and mother and give the
best love to others; but that will be
just it. Nobody-not a lover, not a
husband-will ever be so tender or
SO true as Your mother and father.
Never again, after strangers have
broken the beautiful bond, will there
be anything so sweet as the little Cir
Gle OF mother, father and children,
where you were cherished, pro-
tected, praised and kept from harm.
You may not know it now, but you
will know it some day. Whomso-
ever you marry, true and good though
he may be, will, after the love days are
over and the honeymoon has waned,
give you only what you deserve OF
love or sympauhy-and usually much
less, never more. You must watch
and be wary, lest you lose that love
which came in through the eyes be-
cause the one who looked thought
you beautiful. But those who bore
you, who loved you when you were
that dreadful little object, small
baby, and thought you exquisitely
beautiful and wonderfully brilliant
they do not care for faces that are

full than yours, You are their very
own, and so better to them always

A Few Declines.

l had an improved back yard. ]
went through a seed-store, and
bought a sample of everything that
would grow in this climate. The re-
suit was perfect tangle of flowers
and things, from an over-grown sun
flower to torget-me-not.
Mrs. Bricktop is very proud Of our
garden, and while gushing over it the
other morning, a happy thought
worked its way under her back hair.
What a delightful thing it would be
to have hive of bees and raise our
own honey, as well as everything
else.
1 have always thought that woman
inspired ever since she convinced me
that couldn't do better than marry
her. This was original bold idea !;
happy thought; glorious idea. l
promised her a hive of bees right
away and went to business with a
lighter heart and a frmer belief in
the genuineness of home comforts and
amusements.
bought hive of honey-bees and
brought it home with me that very
night. 1t was one of those patent
hydrostatic, back action, litt-cure
hives, in which the bees have pecu-
liar accommodations and all the mod
ern improvements. 1t was nice lit.

look out and see what was going on
and enjoy themselves.
Both myself and Mrs. B. were de-
lighted, and before dark l arranged
a stand for the hive in the garden and
opened the bay windows SO that the
bees could take an early start, and
get to business by sunrise the next
morning. Mrs. B. called me "honey"
several times during the evening, and
such sweet dreams as we had.
We intended to be up early the
next morning to see how our little
birds took to our flowers, but a
good half-hour before we probably
should have done SO. we were awak-
ened by the unearthly yells of cat
Mrs. B. leaped from her downy couch
exclaiming:
"What can be the matter with our
yellow Billy"
The yells of anguish convinced us
both that something more than ordi-
nary was the matter with him, and
so we hurried into our toilets with
out waiting to do much buttoning.
We rushed out into our back yard and,
oh! what a sight met our astonished
gaze!
The sight consisted of a yellow cat
that appeared to be doing its best to
make a pin-wheel Of itself He was
rolling over and over in the grass,
bounding up and down, anon darling
through the bushes and foliage, stand
ing on its head land then trying to drive
its tail into the ground, and all the
while keeping up the most contounded
yowling that was ever heard.
"The cat is mad" said Mrs. B.
affrightened.
"Why shouldn't he be ? The bees
are singing him." said comprehend
ing the trouble.
Mrs. B. flew to the rescue of her
cat and the cat flew at her. So did
the bees. One of them drove his
drill into her nose, another vaccinated
her on the chin, while another began
to lay out his work near her eye.
Then she howled and began to act al
most as bad as the cat. 1t was quite
an animated scene. She cried
murder, aud the neighbors looked
out Of their back windows and cried
out for the police, and asked where
the fire was. This being trife too
much. | threw a towel over my head

and rushed to her rescue. In doing
so, / ran over and knocked her down,
trod upon the cat, and made matters
no better right away.
Mrs. B. is no child on a wrestIe,
and she soon had me under her, and
was tenderlv tamping down the
garden walk with my head,
using my ears as handles. Then
l yelled, and some more bees
came to her assistance, and stung me
all over the face. She was still Civ
ing me darby, under the impression
that was the cause Of all her pain.
1t was love among the roses, or some
thing of that nature.
In the meantime, the neighbors
were shouting and getting awfully
excited over the show, while our SER
want supposing US fighting opened the
basement door and admitted a police
man, who at once proceeded to go
between man and wife.
The bees hadn't got at Mrs. BIS
tongue yet, and she proceeded to
show the policeman that l had
abused her in the most shameful
manner, and that had bought hive
OF bees on purpose to torment her
into the grave. tried to explain,
but just then a bee stung the officer
on the nose, and he understood it all
in less than a minute. He got mad
and actually lost his temper. He
rubbed his nose and did some official
cussing.
But as this didn't help matters any,
he drew his club and proceeded to
demolish that patent beehive. The
bees failed to notice his badge of
Office, and just swarmed on him.
They stung him wherever he had
no clothing, and some places
where he did have it. Then he
howled and commenced acting after
the manner OF the cat and its mistress.
He rolled on the ground for mo,
ment, and then got up and made a
Decline for the street, shouting fire.
Then the bees turned to the people
who had climbed upon the fence to
see the fun. Then they had some
fun, and cried shoo.fy some. Win
dows went down and some OF the
neighbors acted as though they
thought a twenty-inch shell was
about to explode.
By this time fire engine had ar
rived, and a line of hose was taken
through the house into the back yard.
One OF the hosemen asked where the
fire was, but just then one OF those
hit leliaa, the
eal, and he knew right away. they
turned stream upon the halt-wrecked
beehive, and began to ''play away"
with one hand and fight bees with
the other.
But the water had the desired eff
feet, and those bees were soon among
the things that were. A terrible
crowd had gathered in the meantime
in front Of the house, but large por-
ton of it followed the flying police
man, who was rubbing his affected
parts and making tracks for the sta
ton house and a surgeon.
This little adventure somehow
dampened our enthusiasm regarding
the felicity of making our own honey.
During the next week we wore bread
and-milk poultices pretty ardently,
but not a word was said about honey,
and now Mrs. B. has gone to stay a
week with her mother, leaving me
and the couvalescent tom-cat and the
tickled neighbors to enjoy our own
felicity, but not with bees-oh, no
