THE BOW IN WAR.
How It Was Made and Used by thu
 Asiatfc Trlbesmen.

How It Was Made and Used by the
 Asiatfc Trlbesmen.
 Th.' bow as used by Asiatic horsemen assumes a curious shape. They were made of horn, generally buffalo horn, in two pieces, joined by a wooden cen ter, and when unstrung had the form of a capital c, which enabled them to be hung over the arm on horseback. When strung, difficult feat to those unused to them, they took the double curve of the antique bow as seen in the representation of Cupid. This was the '"Tartars bow," used by the Scythians, Parthians and Persians and up to quite recent times in India. It was drawn by the thumb alone, on which the arch CT wore a broad, thick ring of horn, ivory or comedian, on whose edge the bowstring rested.
 The long bow was also much in use among Indian infantry of the middle ages, but neither they nor any other Asiatics appear to have done such exc cution as t..e English archers of the same period. Bernier says, describing a battle between Aurangzeb and his brother Dara: "They draw their ar rows with a marvellous swiftness, one man being able to draw six of them before musketeer can discharge twice; but, to say truth, their arrows do but little execution. More of them are lost in the air or broken on the ground than hit" l. The bow, in fact, requires more than any other weapon constant practice from childhood, and strong English men of the present day are quite una- ble to use the bows of the half human Mincopies of the Andamans.-Cham- bers' Journal.

Had Enough of Law.

A gentleman who is now general su- perintendent of railroad began life by trying to practice law in Missouri village. One of his first cases was be- fore his father, who was a justice of the peace. After a stormy wrangle be- tween the young attorney and his ad- versary, the old gentleman decided the case against his sons client. The young man gave vent to some expressions of indignation, gathered up his books and started to leave the room. His father pushed his specs on to his forehead and began mildly to lecture him, saying:
 Young man. do you expect to make your living practicing law?"
 The son, who had by this time reached the door, shouted back as he retired from the field:
 Not before such blamed fool court as this.'
 He abandoned the law and engaged in railroading with great success Green Bag.

How the sprinsboks Travel.

The springboks of South Africa mi grate in vast herds, moving in com pact body and carrying everything be- fore them. If a flock of sheep be in the line of march, as sometimes hap pens, it is surrounded, enveloped and becomes, willingly or unwillingly, part of the springbok army. An African hunter tells the strange story of seeing a lion in the midst of the antelOpes, forced to join the march. It Is sup posed that the lion had sprung too far for his prey. that those upon whom he alIghted recoiled sufficiently to allow him to reach the ground, and then the pressure from both Hanks and the rear prevented him from escaping from his strange captivity.
 If the springbok travels in such armies, how can those in the middle and in the rear find food? In this wise: Those in the front ranks, after they have eaten greedily of the pasture, gradually fall out of the ranks to rest and chew the cud, while the hungry ones in the rear come up. and so the columns are all the while changing.

saved Captain Lawton's immaculate garb, and in that instant a huge, swift moving form went by them, dropped into the water with tremendous splash and swan with strong, assured strokes toward the dots in the water.
 It was all over in minute, and Mrs Browne, all regardless of soft silk dra- peries and floating laces, had Bobby in her arms, and Lieutenant Charteris, who had come running up, was saying:
 "'Pon my word, BObs, you and Kitch- ener''-
 Then his eye fell upon the rescuer, and he broke his sentence off in the middle to grab the hand of the big. his travelling bag to take an impromptu swim. There were introductions and handshakings and tears. When Bobby heard the name of Wharton. he stared round eyed. and when Wharton heard the name of Bobby he, too, said, "Up- on my word!' to himself.
 Perhaps all this had something to do with the fact that when on the follow ing evening Captain Lawton came for his final answer to his suit the pretty widow knew her own mind and an swered him with gentle but decided "No."
 At about the same time Wharton was confessing frankly to his friend Charteris that he was bowled over for the first time ill his life, and would there be any chance for him? That naval officer, you know
 Charteris grinned. "I don't think you need worry about him." said he. "Go in, old chap, and here's luck"
 The rapidity of WhartOn's courtship shocked the whole place. It was not more than six weeks after his first ap- pearance that he was walking in the twilight with charming, gay gOwned dame, and she was saying in that delicious soft voice of hers:
 "But it wasn't all what you did that first day, Edward, though I'd have been friends forever with any one who had saved Bobby's life. It was just that you were you, and-don't you think it was fate"
 q think" said Wharton, with a twinkle in his eye, 'that 1t was the machinatio of Bobs."
 And then he told her.

The Fragrant Heliotrope.

You may give heliotrope, and not a very large plant, as much water as you give a geranium and think you are giv- ing all that is required. Your plant will fail to make a vigorous and healthy growth because it is not moist enough at the roots. Examine it, and you will find that the tiny roots have extracted the moisture almost wholly. If not given more water at once. some of the young and delicate roots are injured, and the plant takes on a diseased con- dition, from which it often never re- covers. Do not get the idea that the soil in which heliotropes are grown ought to be kept wet. Not at all. But because it requires more moisture than many plants. because it extracts more rapidly from the soil, water should be given oftener to keep the soil in the proper condition.

Too GREAT RIsK.-In almost every neighborhoOd someone has died from an attack of collie or cholery mOrbus, often before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. A,reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk Is too great for anyone to take. Chamherlaln's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy has undoubtedly saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medi- cine in use.
