THE LONG BOW.

Two East Indians Who Were Experts ut
Pulling 1t.
Our story-tellers sre credited with a
good faculty for exaggeration. The
exercise of this gift has acquired the
name of ''pulling the long bow" per-
haps because it has been used 80 large
ly by sportsmen when recounting their
exploits. From what is related of the
professional story-ellers of India, it
seems that we are not alone in the en-
joyment of this distinction. An English
writer tells with what result he raj
lied one of these upon his facility in
lying.
why, sahib,' he answered. with a
grin, 1--WE are all more or less liars in
my country. and if one tells story,
another Immediately caps it There
were two young men of my country
who had Boosting match, and one
said:
:. My father is so rich and has so
many horses that his stable is OF such
extent as to take horse eleven months
to 60 from one end stall to the other
:Shabash, brother, replied the Sec
ond boaster, that is very good. My
father has bamboo so long that he
can sweep the clouds away with it
when they obscure the sun in harvest
time
- Hi hi!' exclaimed the first. That
is very wonderful; but pray, brother,
where does your father Keep such
long bamboo
Why, you stupid!' was the answer.
I'm your fathers stable, to be sure!'"

A Curious Crab.

There are great many kinds Of
crabs, and you have seen some of them,
no doubt l do not believe you have
ever seen the one 1 am going to tell you
about-the famous Robber or Cocoa
nut Crab. A great crab he is, too. and
walks upon the tips of his toes, foot
high above the ground.
He is cocoa-nut eater, because
where he lives they arc the best things
he can find. But you would not guess
how he gets at the meat in them.
When he finds fallen cocoa-nut he
begins tearing away the thick husk
and fiber with his strong claws. He
knows very well which end to tear it
from, too,-the end where the three
'eye-hOles are, which we call the ''mon-
keys face" Out of one of these the
young cocoa-nut tree would grow.
When he has found 1t he just hammers
through one of them with the point of
his heavy claw.
But how do you think he gets the
meat'out He can not put his claw in.
because he has ne proboscis. like a
butterfly. But he turns himself round
and puts in a PAIR of hind pincers,
which are very thin. With them he
scoops.the meat out of the cocoa-nut,
and so puts his dinRer into his mouth
with his hind feet
He does not waste the husk either.
He lives in deep burrow, like rab-
hit. and likes to sleep softly. So he
lines the burrow with this fiber, picked
clean and fine. just as if he were going
to make eoeoa-nut mating of it. After
taking bath every night he sleeps
soundly upon it. He gets so fat in his
old age that he carries about on his
body more than quar- of pure oil -

Teddie dropred the brush With
which he was decorating the goat stall
and sat with Percy under the manger

'tAnd leave the goats?" asked Ted
dy opening his eyes wide with sur

..E-s'' answered Percy. slowly.

jumped TO his feet, took the harness
from the nails, and began Harvesting
Trot and Frisk. lou go and ask
Mary for some crackers and ere is lots
of berries on the road. and ell ask the
cooks in the houses for tea, ere won't
be any mammas to say-'ou must dink
milk, Percy and Teddy'-'e'll dink tea
from bowl like at man yesterday"
BY this time the goats were harnessed,
and the two little boys, with q few
crackers in the bottom of the cart,
drove away. The goats trotted along
briskly. There was long stretch of
road without any houses, and no one
missed the little boys, whose mammas
had gone to the city for the day.
Percy and Ted felt very big rs they
drove along with their hats on the
backs of their heads. They came to
lane, and thought they would drive
through it to the end, and stay there
all night-for they had heard their
papas say that tramps did not keep on
the main road. they had not driven
far into the lane when a voice called
out: Good afternoon; wait minute"
The boys started with surprise. There
was the very man that drank the bowl
of tea.
where are you going?"
ITO Tamford," answered Percy, in .
trembling voice.
''This is not the way" said the man.
''Drive in here to these woods. I'll
show YOU"
Lets 90 home, Percy" whispered
Ted; Il don't want to run away"
Come" said the man, and he
turned the goats through the bars into
the woods The boys were too fright
ened to speak. After taking the boys
some distance into the woods, he told
them to get out of the wagon. He
then embarrassed the goats. and, with
out speaking. led them deeper in the
woods by rope.
Ted's and Percy's' mammas and
papas were driving up from the boat
in the early dusk when Ted's mamma
called out: ''Why, that looks like Trot
and Frisk," as two goats were led by
the wagon.
At the sound of their names both
goats answered by prolonged cry
Ba-a. Ted's papa sprang out of the
carriage, the man dropped the rope
with which the goats were tied, and
ran away with all his might The
goats were tied to the back axle of the
carriage and they all started for home.
Great was the surprise and terror when
it was found that the boys, the car
riage and harness were gone.
A vigorous search showed which way
the wagon was driven. The tracks
were closely followed, and the two lit
tie boys, very frightened and tired, an
swered to the calls given by the search
ers.
Ted and Percy decided that mammas
knew better than little boys what was
best for them They stayed two months
longer in the country, but the goats
were fastened in the stalls with pad
locked chains, and the harness hung in
a locked closet Ted and Percy were
not allowed to harness the goats again.

"A gentleman described a. 80
prominent Boston Theosophist, " says:
Nothing could be more erroneous
than to declare that Theosophy holds
the religious faiths held by the great
masses of mankind to be 'pious frauds.
On the contrary, it recognizes the
truths inherent in those faiths, and
only denies the claim of any one creed
to contain the whole truth, or to be the
only vehicle of truth. 1t is the pur-
pose of Theosophy to look for the good
residing in every thing and in all
