The Force OF an indian Arrow.

The Indian bows are made Of ex-
fremely rigid wood, but the power to
bend them effectually comes more from
practice than mere physical strength.
General Brisbin says
1 ihave seen slight and small white
man bend with ease the strongest bow
when he had once acquired the art. A
white man, too, can send an arrow as
far and as deep as an Indian. ! once
had an officer named Belden with me,
who had lived twelve years with the
Indians, and he could shoot an arrow
into n buffalo while running so that the
point would come out on the opposite
side. He would also plunge an arrow
into q beast so that it disappeared, and
not even the notch remained visible.
The power of an Indian bow can be bet
ter understood when it is known that
the most powerful ulrevolver will not send
ball through buffalo. Belden sad
he had seen n bow throw an arrow five
hundred yards, and |, myself, have seen
one discharged entirely through board
IN inch thick. A mans skull was found
IN the West transfxed to a tleo by an
arrow, which had gone entirely through
The bones, and fastened itself so deep in
the wood as to sustain the weight of the
head. The man most likely had been
tied TO the tree, and then shot.

A letter from Montreal to the Toronto
Globe describes the terrible adventul e
of the crew of q raft in descending the
Lachine Rapids. The pilot was DIille-
bout, the Indian lacrosse player. He
mistook the channel, and instead of go
ing over the smoother course got into
the sault," or jump, as the channel
part of the rapids is called. There were
thirteen of the crew, and the raft had
hardly touched the rough water before
it began breaking up. There was more
than half mile yet for the raft to 60
before the fate Of the crew could be as
certained; and seen from the other raft,
which took the correct course, tue spec
tacle was terrible one. Long logs of
timber would lift high into the air, and
human beings would be seen clinging to
them, the next moment to be dashed
down and buried in the seething waters.
Other logs continually upheaved with
their living freight looking like bun
dies of weeds. Some timbers while up.
heaved would touch bottom at one end,
and the fearful velocity of the raft
would shoot them bodily into the air, TO
fall among the men who were strug-
Cling for their lives, and to add new
terror to those which already faced
them. AS the rat, or all that was left
oft, reached Clear and smooth water,
the half smothered remnant of the crew
managed to bring their raft to the
shore to repair damages; for three Of
the crew rafting on the st. Lawrence
rapids was over.

Anecdote OF John BrOugham.

A New York paper tells this story oil
lie late John Brougham, dramatic
author and actor: Since his death any
number of gentle incidents in his life
have been recalled. One OF these is
noteworthy Alter he had played here
some time lie became n marked favorite
On the stage, particularly with women,
who were captivated by his handsome
ness, his grace, and his vivacity. He
received, of course, many letters, flow
ers and mementoes Of the romantiaally.
silly sort, to which he paid no attention.
One of these dreamy adorers signed her
own name to her billets, and wrote re.
peatcdly, despite the discouragemcnt Of
silence. She was very desirous to meet
the comedian, beseeching again and
again the privilege of an interview.
Finally, Brougham named n time and
place for their meeting. She came
promptly, and proved to be very young,
pretty, and of good social position. She
was well educated and clever, too; but
her judgment and common sense had
been warped by the morbid sentiment
that belongs to such IN age. Instead OF
making ,ove to her lie read her n moral
lecture; talked to her literally ike a
father; pointed out the great danger Of
her conduct, and told her that most men
would take advantage Of her innocence
1T sounds very cgotistic," he added,
for me to say it, my child, but all
actors are not John Broughams." She
was moved to tears and TO the deepest
gratitude by his kind counsel; declared
that he had opened her eyes to her folly
and that she wou d not be guilty of it
again. She kissed his hand at parting,
and went away, it is said, completely
changed. A year or two after she was
married. She invited the comedian, MS
the story runs, to her wedding, but he
die not go. He had been much attracted
to her, and he knew enough of hnmau
nature 10 know that, under the circum-
stances, prudence, irnot safety, consisted
in his keeping away, John Brougham
was man of the world, but he was also
man of heart, and, above all, a man oI
honor,

Cooking on q Large Scale.

Harvard college owns building fit
ted with all the conveniences to cool
for several hundred hungry young men
and there are now boarding in 1t mum
Der which must keep the cooks busy
Here is short &C count ofthe establish
ment, from the Golden Rule:
The Harvard Dining association bai
ninety employees bCsides its steward
A ten horsepower engine, burning two
tons of coal per day, h2ais the building
and supplies steam for the cooking anC
baking; but when Sanders theater i:
heated, a third ton of coal is required
The cooking apparatus is on n vas
scale. The great soup kettle holds 22G
gallons, and 1t is said ID be the largest
Kettle ever cast in this country. Only
10 gallons of soup, however, are re-
quired for the daily dinner. The oat.
meal kettle holds tifty-fve gallons, and
that for cracked VIII eat twenty gallons
but not quite, though very nearly, this
amount IL consumed daily.
The great range, twenty-five feet long
contains four ovens, and does all the
frying and heating plates, etc. There
are seven kettles for boiling meats and
rive for vegetables, and none of them OF
very small size, while the great char.
coal CRATE will easily broil STEAK for $50
men. But the most astounding parts Of
the culinary arrangements are the two
great ovens, enc for baking meats, and
one for bread and pies. The first will
cook 1000 pounds of meat, the other
$50 pics. They are not b7 any means
too large, however, since from 500 to
1000 pounds of meat are consumed
daily, and some ninety loaves of graham
and sevenly-iive Of white bread. The
heat never leaves the pastry oven from
one month to another.
"IIow much flour do you use per
dly?" asked.
1--WE average at least a barrel and a
half" was the reply.
"And how many pies at one lunchP"
"A hundred and twenty five, for
which three barrels of apples are
needed"
Some delicio u.s. looking butter was
unpacking from huge box, and
earned that seventy-ive pounds are
here daily used for the tables, and about
the same amount for cooking. That
the students had not gone hungry on
that day, was conclusively shown from
the fact that at breakfast 45O pounds
lump steak and sixty.five pounds of
fish had been consumed; that the lardcr
contained for the dinner 800 pounds Of
turkey and 500 pounds of beef; that 100
gallons Of milk (the daily allowance).
ard forty puddings of large size, were
in store, while twelve immense pans of
gingerbread were being prepared for
the oven.

And so the servant was sent to usher
