Col. Smith Of the First California
tells a story of one Of the recruits at
the Preside. This is an Irishman and
he was doing guard duty. DO you

BOWS.

The Romans carried the bow to Silt
ain where it at Cnce obtained laFor'
and during the 11,SIle ages was eN-
tensivc,y used forming an in Iortant
element Of the armies Of that period.
While uni. ersaliy used by the an

different nations. The ScEthian bow
was in the form OF the letter Q and

of the Scytalans-still keeps that
shape.
The English archers were said to
be the finest in the world and their
skill decided the battles Of Crecy,
Poitiers and AGincourt. The bows
used were Of two kinds, the long bow
and the arbalest or cross bow. The
arbalest Yves made of steel or horn
and was OF such strength and stiffness
that it was necessary to use some me-
chanical appliance to bend it and adj
lust the string The arbalestiers car
ried a culver with fifty arrows and
were placed in the van of the battle
The Greek bow was not more than
three or four feet in length, but so
stout and stiff that it required ccnsid-
cradle strength and skill to use it,
says Lippincott's Magazine. 1t is said
that the first Greek bows were made
from the horns of a species of goat,
the bases being united by means of q
metallic band. Afterward other mate
rial was used in their manufacture,
but they still retained their original
shape. These bows were too short to
be Of much use, and, comparatively
speaking, but a small portion of the
troops were armed with them.

WISE AND OTHERWISE.

Love, like ice, is awfully slippery
and it soon thaws.
Time may be money, but some men
spend lots of money in trying to have
a good time.
Low living and high thinking will
produce better men than high living

Some people are so given to incon-

must be inconsistent.
When a young man is sowing his
wild oats he always hopes that some
thing will happen to destroy the crop.
During courtship lovers overlook
each others faults, but after marriage
they spend most OF their lives looking
for them.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-There is every pros

cif1c and the other transcontinental roads
over the rates to the Pacific coast for
those intending to go to Alaska.
When the matter of rates to Alaska
first came up, the Canadian Pacific said
that 1t would demand on this business
the same differential that II had been al
lowed on California business. The South
ern routes said that the Canadian Pacific
had as good route as any for those In
tending to 60 to Alaska, and that Il
should not have any differential.
This mattered nothing to the Canadian
Pacific. and 1t took the differential. which
II said was It's due
Now all the transcontinentaI roads and
those of the Western Passenger AssocIa-
ton have determined that they will not
allow the Canadian Pacific to have any
advantage over them on this business. and
say that they will meet any rate which II
may make.
