alarmed the world Constantinople, in
spite of the heroic resistance that for
months had excited the admiration OF
Europe, had fallen before the victorious
arms of Amurath, and swift ships flying

brought the dismal news TO Venice and
Genoa. The capital of the East was
the trading post for Eastern Europe and
Asia Minor, and thousands of merchants
in Genoa, Venice and. other ports of the
Mediterranean saw their business swept
away at one stroke. For long time
there had been talk of sending aid to
the beleagnred Constantine Pal@ologus,

Those were stirring times, for what
with the wars of Christendom against

going on by sea and land against the

worth 50 in trade. The bows differ in
length and strength, being gagged for
the arms of those who are to use them.
A white man would, until he learned
the sleight of it, find himself unable to.
bend even the weakest war bow. The
force of such an arrow may be imagined
when it is remembered that, while a

Bows are made of all kinds of wood.
The best are made of Usage orange, hic-

fit for war. There ale three bows the

The Sioux and Crows make the best
bows. The Sioux bow is generally four
feet long. When unstrung it is perfectly
straight. Some bows are covered and
strengthened and made more vitalIy elias
tic on the back by being strung with
sinews. In such instances the back of
the bow is fattened, then roughened
with file or stone, the sinew being af-
terward glued on. The sinew is then
Tapped at the middle or grasp of the bow
and at the ends. The string is attached
while green, twisted and left to dry on
the bow. The whole outside of the sin
ew is now covered with new solution
of glue and the bow is done These
bows are painted, beaded, velveted, and
leathered.
The Crows make jointed bows out of
elk horn. To do this they take a large
morn or prong ana saw slice OH eacn
side of it. These slices are then filled or
rubbed down until the fiat sides fit nicely
together, when they are glued and
wrapped at the ends. Four slices make
q bow, such fourfold bow being jointed.
Another piece of horn is laid on the
centre of the bow, at the grasp, where it
is glued fast The whole is then filed
down until it is perfectly proportioned,
when the white bone is ornamented,
carved and painted. Nothing can exceed
the beauty of these bows. 1t takes an
Indian about three months to make one.
They are very expensive. The Indians,
as a rule, do not sell them.
In travelling the arrows are sheathed
in a culver made generally of the skin of
the puma or mountain lion. The bow
sheath is generally of the same stuff

Childhood of Old Chris.

To realize how great have been the
changes since the boyhood OF the dis
coverer of the new world is matter of
no little difficulty to people OF the pres
ent time. Columbus was born in 1445,
four and half centuries ago, out since
that time the world has moved so fast
and gone so far that, in pc mt Of prog
ress, the time Of Percles is not further
removed from our own. The boyhood
OF the great navigator is, therefore, of
interest to us, since the scenes he daily
beheld, the topics he heard constantly
discussed, the events OF his period, the
customs of his contemporaries, are as
diverse as possible from those with
which we are familiar, and, by compar-
ison, the world of his youth is world
with which the general rea Ter is as
little acquainted as he is with the pres
emit state Of learning in Timbuctoo.
