AN ARCHERY TEA.
Revival of the Sylvan Sport With
Bow and Arrows.

One Of the favorite entertainments this
summer with the society girl is going to
be the archery tea and sport with bow aud
arrows.
This classical and aristccratic game is
being revived, and with great enthusiasm,
perhaps net so much Gu its own account
as Il pastime, as for the picturesque oppor-
tunities 1t offers for festive outdoor froiic.
Fer the archery tea, which is modelled
some what upon the lines OF ii garden party,
invitationsare sent out for rourof the after
neon, and u moderate degree Of promptness
is desirable upon the part OF the guests,
that the games, which preCede tea, may
have sUme show.

She also finds ether gifts, second, third,

pleasure OF giving to the other victorious
archeresses.
The prizes for the men are distributed

"a pair, and not to speak of them as their

A CLIMATIC CHATAUUQUA
Prof. II. ID. A. COckerell Proposes the
Establishment Of a New Mexico
Biological station.

Prof. T. ID. A. Cockerell, we'll ard favor
ably known in Santa Fe, sends out the
following announcement from Las Cru
ces:
The undersigned has it in view to found
in New Mexico biological station, and
health and holiday resort for scientific
persons, teachers and kindred spirits. No
loafers would be admitted, nor persons
whose health was so poor as to prevent
them from working.
Practically no funds are at present avail
able, but it is hoped that, if very modest
start is made, the means may in time be
found to put the institution on secure
and permanent basis.
In such an establishment, scientific
work may be carried on without any fear
of interference by politicians and other
self-interested or ignorant persons; while
the station might also come to be recog-
nized as an independent educational CEN
ter, helping to promote the best interests
of education in the broadcast sense, as we'll
as those of pure science.
The promoter hopes to be able, sooner

great advantage.
A beginning will be made this summer if
students can be found. The undersigned
will be glad to hear from any who are in

from those who might be inclined to work
