Port Innis. Mauritius.

From the sea Port Louis has a pictur- esquc and oriental aspect, but the streets are less so than one imaSines. They are wide and resemble those of Cape Town. Numerous European shops also line their fronts.
 Lying behind the town is the Champ de Mars. It iS used as n place of amuse- ment, and opening into it are the streets of Burbon and COrderie, while to the left of the quays is the bazaar or market place. It is surrounded by an iron rail ing, has several gates leading to the principal streets and is divided into two equal parts by Farquar street.
 A broad avenue also traverses its en- tire length, lined on either side by GOV cred sheds, where the wares arc exposed. Fruit stalls occupy the upper end. and here is exhibited a marvellous variety, a collection that would make the fruit sellers of the west mad with envy. Plantains in great yellow heaps are side by side with custard apples, alligator pears, mangocS, pineapples and others too numerous 10 mention. Mangoes are the most esteemed by Europeans. The lower market contains the butchers shops. where fowl. fish. and kid are conspicuous.-All the Year Round.

FAMOUS ARcHERS.
Stories of Wonderful skill With Bow and
 Arrow.

stories ut W onufrtui SNlll W ith HOW anu
 Arrow.
 The expression drawing long bow" does not of necessity mean tho telling of falsehood. It sometimes refers to a wonderful story, which may be true enough, but which is so marvellous as to require u firm trust in the veracity of the narrator to enable the nearer to believe it. Some of the longest bows of this sort have been drawn about bows and arrows.
 These stories began long ago. Virgil, in the "Encid, tells of four archers who were shooting for prize, the mark being pigeon tied by cord to the mast of ship. Tine first man hit the mast, the second cut tho cord, and the third shot the pigeon as it flew away. The fourth archer, having nothing left to shoot, drew his bow and sent his ar TOW flying toward the sky with such speed that the friction of the air set the feathers oa fire, and il swept on. like a meteor, to disappear in the clouds.
 The stories told of Robin Hood s archery, illustrated by his wonderful performance as Locksley in Scott $ "Ivanhoe, are also decided strain upon a sensible persons credulity. The famous story of William Tell. doubted by many persons, is believed by others to have n foundation of fact. There was Dane named Foke of whom the same story is told. and William of Cloudes- ley, an Englishman, is said to have shot an apple from his sons head merely to show his expertnesS.
 Most stories of bows and arrows re late to the accurate aim of the archers, but Frenchman, Blaise de Vigenere, tells one that shows the tremendous force with which an arrow may be pro. pelled if the bow be strong and long enough. According to his own account of the matter, he saw Barbarossa, q Turk, admiral of ship called the Grand SOlyman, send an arrow from his bow right through cannon ball. Philadelphia Times.

S1,ooo A SHOT.
It Is Economical. After All, if Considered
 Properly.

It Is Economical. After All. if Considered
 Properly.
 One thousand dollars shot is rather expensive shooting. but when you come to figure it out you will find that it is not quite as much i'll proportion as Sl00 a shot under certain conditions. The old smooth bore cannon, short in barrel and short in the breach, had to be trained with the greatest patience and care on the object aimed at, and if the 100 pound ball didn't land exactly where il was intended it did very little harm.
 With the big pneumatic gun at Sandy Hook it is impossible to make a miss Iou just touch her of at $l, 900 per touch, and if the prOjectile drops within one-sixth of mile of where it was in tended to drop there is immediate and serious trouble and in all probability no necessity for the expenditure of another dollar on that particular target. It costs more to fire the big Krupp gun than il does our dynamite gun, but the eNecu- tion bears no comparison. One hundred gatling guns, fired at short intervals for one hour, would cost Sl0, 900. Even if the object shot at was within range the shooting would not be one-tenth as ef- fcctive as the shooting of the Sandy Hook tcrror-New York Mail and Ex' press.

A KINGLY TREASURE
And One Which is of Priceless
 Value.
It is Within the Reach of Everyone
 Who Wants It,
A Subject Which is Intsrestpg People
 All Over This Wide Land.

The greatest treasures are those which bring the most good. which do the most towards benefting mankind. Everywhere we go, we see sickness and suffering. un- til 1t seems as though there was not per- fectly healthy person in existence. And such is about the case. for there are very few who are not troubled in some way.
 The most common complaint IS nervous ness. There are thousands who would not acknowledge they were nervous. and yet they feel weak and tired, and their ac- tions show their nerves are weak and irri- table. This is A dangerous condition to neglect. for it often leads to nervous pros tration or other serious disease.
 All kinds of nervous and chronic dis eases are fearfully common, and the rem edy that will cure them may we'll be called c kingly treasure. Such a medicine exists, and it is constantly curing these diseases. Read what Mrs W. H. Smith of "A Sutton street, Providence. R. | has to say abou, 1t:
 Il was taken sick five years ago with the grippe. It left my whole system and es- pecially my nerves in terribly weak con- oition. I was dreadfully nervous. and lost almost complete control of myself. was all discouraged and did not know what should do.
 My limbs were swollen. my feet ached and had pains all over my body. l got scarcely any sleep. and what little did get did me no good I took many reme. dies; but without benefit. Finally hearing l Dr Greene's nervura blood and nerve rem. edy highly recommended. I determined to l use it
 After taking one bottle l was almost entirely cured of all my troubles. My nerves were strong. the pains left me, the swelling disappeared and I could sleeI we'll. Thants to this wonderful medicine I am cured. I wish every sufferer might use it ''
 The reason why you should take Dl Greene's nervura blood and nerve remedy is, because it is the surest and quickes medicine in its action known, It posi- lively and permanently cures all forms o nervous weakness and exhaustion. lnvigor ates the blood and gives health anC strength. Take it now, for Dr Greene nervura blood and nerve remedy will dC more for you than any other remedy.

 In the earliest times of purchase Q woman was bartered for useful goods or for services rendered to her father. In the latter way Jacob purchased Rachel and her sister Leah. This was Beena marriage, whero a man. us in Genesis. leaves his faxher and his mother and cleaves unto his wife, and they become one flesh or kip-the woman's. The price of bride in British Columbia and Vancouver island varies from e2o to e40 worth of articles. In Oregon an h. dian gives for wife horses, blankets or buffalo robes; in California, shell money or horses; in Africa, cattle.
 A poor Damara will sell a daughter for one COW. A richer Kaffir expects from s to 30. With the Banyai, if noth- ing be given, her family claim her chil- dren. In Uganda, where no marriage recently existed, she may be obtained for half a dozen needles, or a coat, or a pair of shoes. An ordinary price is a box of percussion caps. In other parts a goat or n couple of buckskins will buy girl. Passing to Asia, we find heI price is sometimes to 90 rubles, or al others a cartload of wood or hay. 4 princess may be purchased for 5000 rubles.
 In Tartary a woman can be obtained for few pounds of butter, or where 6 rich man gives 20 small oxen a pool man may succeed with n pig. In Fiji hel equivalent is whales tooth or a mus ket. These and similar prices elsewher' are eloquent testimony to the little value a savage sets on his wife.-New Yorl Advertiser
