How Cloves GpoW.

The small evergreen tree from which cloves are taken was originally na- tive of the Spice islands, but it is now cultivated in warm climates in all parts of the world. The clove of com merce is the unopened flower of the tree. They are quite small, but grow in large clusters among the branches. After gathering, the buds are smoked by wood fire and dried in the sun. Both the taste and smell of the cloves depend on the quantity of oil they con tain Sometimes the oil is separated from the cloves before they are sold, and the odor and taste are in conse- quence much weakened. If yoa de sire to know something of the form od the bud in the natural state soak a few cloves for a short time in hot water The petals of the flower will softer and readily unroll.

BOW AND ARROW.
The Alleged Feats of the Ancient Archers
 -Mahmoud Efendis Shot.

From their perishable- nature the bow and arrow shaft have utterly dis appeared, but the arrowhead has come down to us by thousands in the river drift and cave deposits which experts place at hundred thousand years ago, says the London News. With this our very remote ancestors used to slay the mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros, and the reindeer-animals whose like our sportsmen of to-day pursue with ex- press rifles and explosive bullets. In due time the bow became a finished weapon, and savage men grew to use &t with great skill, both in hunting and in war The bowman's prowess, however, was not so great as 1t has been represented by writers of fiction, and there is little doubt that just as the runner or the boxer of to-day could beat the athlete of antiquity, so the bowman even of these days, when shooting is but pastime, could easily beat the redsl1in or the African in feats of skill. It is at the target, however, that he would excel, not in the forest, for his woodcraft would not enable him to get the opportunity of drawing his bow.
 Neither savage nor modern toX- ophilite, however, can hope to come up to the record of Mahmoud Effendi, sec retary to the Turkish ambassador in England in 1795, who, with Turkish bow, shot an arrow four hundred and eighty-two yards in the presence of three members of the Toxophilite so ciety. Before such range as this it is not so surprising to be told of an arrow that pierced two inches of brass, or of another that, being shot by a Welsh archer at an armed man on horseback, struck him on the thigh, pierced his armor, his leg, his leather saddle, and killed his horse.
 The bow and arrow was at its height at the battle of Flodden in 1513, when the Scots yielded before the shower of shafts which the bovmen poured upon them, but already the knell of the fine old arms had sounded. In 1511 Lord Hubert, of Cherbury, in discussing a war with France, speaks of the change of weapons, and when once the hand gunners" and ''gunpowder" came into use the craft of bowyer and the valor ot bowmen became obsolete.
