Bows and Arrows.

For beginners the best bows for use are
 what are known as self bows-that is, bows made from single stick. Of this class the majority are lemonwood and lancewood. A good, serviceable bow to start with can be had for S4 or S5; half dozen arrows, say as much more; arm guard, inger-tips and quiv- CT, say $3, so that the total of $12 or $15 will fit out the intending archer ready for the range. A straw target, thoroughly made, with regulation painted facing, will cost say $6 but can be bought by club or 8 few friends joining together for common use. Once the probationary period is passed the archer will become ambitious and desire a better bow-and here his taste can be grati- fled with large variety to select from. What are known as backed bows, made usu- ally from two different woods Occasionally three) abound in styles and numbers, at from $7 to 1925 in price, according to quality,
 through the various grades. Snakewood, beefwood, partridgewood, lemonwood, lance
 wood, yew and so forth, joined with ash or hickory for the back, are in common use
 here and can be seen on any archery range.
 Perhaps the handsomest in appearance are
 the snakewood and hickory, the beautifully
 mottled dark wood contrasting well with the white. The more expensive bows of this class are marvels of finish and workmanship. Every part is wrought out to a certain scale so delicately graduated as to secure the best results in accuracy of shooting, elasticity and strength.
 The yew, however, is the bow par excel 1ence, and is unequalled in smoothness and elasticity of pull, quickness and lack of ten dency to 'kick, y noticeable in all other bows. The archer desirous of doing the handsome thing by himself can get a fine yew bow fo1 $25O. Should that frighten the intending purchaser, perhaps a statement that a yeW can be secured for $15 or $2O may be reas suring.
 r,1o vied among archers less favored, but at the same time has little extra care on his hands ! in giving it proper attention, although that 1 should be done with every bow, whatever the quality. A frequent rubbing with an oil ed rag is to the bow what careful grooming is to the race horses and the better taken care of the better the results in every way il either case.

The Chinese Royal Family.


 The present ruling house of China, if we estimate it in the way we estimate European royal families, is, as Charles Dickens observ- ed, tremendous family'' to provide for, as it embraces the trif1ing number of some 4O,- 900 souls. Of course, this is easily accounted for, if it be recollected that most Chinese emperors have wives by the score, and con- sequently the number of aunts, uncles cous- ins, and cousins ever so many times remov- ed, owned by each emperor, makes up rath- CT startling figure. But, of course, nobody could be expected to love 40, ,OOO cousins; so by Chinese law Cor custom) all claim on the emperor's attention closes somewhere about the existing generation of first cousins. Still as the odd 39 760 are undoubtedly of royal blood, large proportion of them receive about dollar month from the public treas- ury, and if within Q certain degree of relation ship, are entitled to wear yellow girdle This, however, does not in the least interfere with their honestly earning their bread, and the mess cooly in the British legation at Pe- kin in 1863 was yellow-g -girdled, cousin D entitled, moreover, to wear I don't know what button the top of his very dilapida- ted old hat. All members of this imperial clan, however, if they get very little in the way of pension, have one great advantage they cannot be tried before an ordinary court. A special tribunal exists to try them, and it was stated, in tolerably recent Pekin Gazette, that it's members got terrible wig ging for letting off some of the emperors re- lations for some offence they had committed. So much for royal cousins in China. But the ladies of the palace afford the most curious paradox to foreigners, who forget that the Chinese are not the only people who make a great distinction between profession and prac- tice. An ordinary Chinaman, in China prop er will tell you that women arc decidedly in ferior beings and as to their having souls, pooh poohs the idea outright. But if you remark that the whole government of the country has for the last eighteen years (with short intervaD been carried on by two la dies-the emperor's mother and empress dowager, two of the cleverest women now alive in China any other country-he calmly remarks that perhaps they are differ ent from other folks, and he will not at all ad- init that the average Chinawoman can possi- ply possess brains sense. It is of no use pointing out to him that Chinese history abounds with heroines, and that cases of fe- male pluck, ability and virtue are constantly recorded in imperial documents even at the ! present day. He incontinently changes the subject.

 In the early days of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence railroad it became necessary to &C., quire more land on the northeasterly side of their India street property. The next adjoin- ing property, wharf and flats, was that of Captain Daniel and James Mountfort, the &C., cess to which vas by a passage;way from Fore street. On the southeasterly side of the roadway was a high, rocky ledge, the former site of the ancient Fort Loyal, cele- brated in our early history as the scene of many contests and attacks from the Indians Upon the top of the high ledge was perched an old one-story house occupied by Hannah Fagundas and her daughter Betsey Jenkins, the use of which for life had been given by Captain Daniel, in concurrence with James, to this widow and daughter of one of his worn-out sailors. The price of the land was agreed upon between the railroad company and James Mountfort and the heirs of Cap tain Daniel But there still remained the encumbrance of old Hannahs house on the rock, the Mountfort's attorney refusing to sell the property unless the railroad company would provide another house for them for life or compensate them to their satisfaction saying that the judge must make his own trade with them. The railroad company wished to see the life lease. Mir. James strengthened up and said, My brother gave no written lease but gave his word for it as long as they lived, which was higher and stronger than any written lease could be-" It was suggest ed that when the property was sold the Mountforts would have no legal liability for it. He and the children of Daniel all said they knew that very well, but they would not sell the property on any terms that did not also stipulate to fulfill the parting word and obligations of his brother and their father for life shelter to the women.
 The company then tried to commute with old Hannah for sum of money. This she refused, declining to take anything but a house for life in some other location, its equivalent, yearly paid. It was finally set tied by the railroad company's giving them an annuity obligation of $40 year, payable quarterly, during her life and that of her daughter. This written obligation was made July 13, 1S47, and took effect July2S, 1847 It has been paid quarterly since that time until April 28, 1879, Mrs. Jenkins promptly calling for it on the day it was due. The obligation taken up by the treasurer is a curiosity with its 128 endorsements, crosswise and length wise of the paper, completely filling all space Both women being quite old and feeble in health, Judge Preble supposed that in the or dinary course of events the company would have but a few years of payments to make on this annuity.

AGarfield Anecdote.
Not Found in Democratic Journals. From the Cincinnati Gazette.1


 Years ago, when it was necessary to raise money to pay the interest on the war debt incurred by the Democratic rebellion, coal oil was taxed for revenue. It was very high tax. Coal oil, unlike whisky and tobacco, was an indispensable article, and the tax was burden to the poor and people of moderate means Gen Garfield introduced into Congress, and had passed, a bill reducing this tax to nominal sum. This, as Gen. Garfield expected and intended, was 8 great rolief to the mass of our population. It happened also to operate in favor of the princely merchants and spectators in oil of Pennsylvania and New York, who had literally their millions in it, "by lessening the amount of capital required to handle oil, and allowing better per cent. of profit. It was a very small matter for these dealers to make up purse of $10,ooO as present to Gen. Garfield, which they did, and asked him to accept it. The general replied that he could not accept the gift; he had done simply what he thought was his duty to consumers of oil, with no thought or reference to them or their interests. Incidentally, the act was benefit to them; he was gratifed, but he had no claim on them. Permission was then asked to present the purse to Mrs. Garfield and this was declin- toI

 l. That Catarrhal Colds become poi sonous infection, at first local, and hnaHy constitutiona1.
 g. That. being Constitutional the infection is beyond the reach of mere local rem edles.
 3. That impurities in the nostrils. arc necessarily swallowed into the stomach ana inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning tho Digestive. Respiratory and Genito-urlnary organs
 4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu- eous mem brane and causes Deafness, Dyspepsia. Chronic Diarrhoea, Bronchitis, Leueorrhos' and Consumption.
 5. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations, and Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove infectious inflammation from the organs named.
 6. That an antidote for Catarrh must pos sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
 of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous wherever located.
