In course of the State House eXcur-
sion of Wednesday, there were many
amusing features, but none of them
more so than when Mayor Robertson
was "hooked," Yes, the mayor was
actually hooked. 1t was while the
mayor was standing talking with a
friend, when along came two little
chaps, who had been fishing. One of
them had bit of line attached to a
short stick. Evidently forgetting that
there was fish hook at the free end of
the line. the boy was switching it
around like a whip. OF course, the
hook had TO catch in the mayors trous-
ers. Then there was a muchly fright
ened boy and two highly amused men,
the mayor being the most pleased of all.
AS soon as the hook had been cleared
the boy made express train time for
other parts of the Island.

In tuesdays of great achievements it
may be that the remark which a small
Augusta lad made a few days ago may
come true. He was playing about the
room, while mama was reading letter
from her dearest friend. She was
reading aloud. so that the youngster
could hear it. When she got down to
where the kisses were sent. in the
usual way, several crosses of varied
size being used to indicate the delight
full things, he was interested and want
ed to see the kisses, so mama showed
them to him. With distainful grimace
he said Them hain't kisses, their
multiplied ton signs; why didn't she
preserve the kisses in a glass jar and
send 'em along?" And mama couldnt
explain it at all to his satisfaction.

NURSERY NOTES.

Don't encourage little children to
drink tea or coffee. 1t is very Injurious
to the nerves.
Don't use fear as compelling agent
toward little children. Threats Of the
bogy man and ghost stories make a
child cowarGly.
Don't forget to dry the hands and
feet of the child we'll. DampnesS be-
tween the toes may cause soreness or
even a corn, which may be troublesome
to get rid Of.
Don't neglect to keep the feeding bot
tie properly clean. A very little secre-
ton in the bottle may cause serious
trouble and perhaps result in the death
of the child.
Don't use artificial means to send a
child to sleep. Walking about with it,
rocking it and jogging 1t are also bad
habits. 4 child should be taught to go
direct to its rest.
Don't take an infant into great
crowds or public noisy meetings or
amusements. To expose child to sud-
den noises and starts in no way I'M
proves its nerves.
Don't let everybody take baby up and
kiss him. The latter is most injurious
and the former dangerous. He may be
strained in lifting by unaccustomed
hands, and he certainly will not like it.

FOR AID OF WRECK VICTIMS
Mrs. BalIington Booth Suggests That
Trains Carry AnRsthetses.

Mrs. Ballinston Booth Suggests That
Trains Carry Anesthet;es.
Moved by descriptions Of the suffer
ings endured by victims Of recent rail-
road wrecks, Mrs. Maude Ballington
Booth has sent letters to the presidents
of leading railroads in the United
States recommending that trains be
equipped with anasthetics, to be used
In rendering unconscious the dying or
injured passengers pinned underneath
the wreckage Of cars.
This plan, Mrs. Booth says, is not the
idle suggestion of a moment, but comes
from one who travels great deal and
who has frequently seen unfortunate
men and women imprisoned in wreck
age while MANNED or burning to death.
She advises that every train be fitted
out with ether, chloroform and stimu-
lants, for use in emergencies, or that
q case filled with them should be in the
possession Of every train conductor.
"In view of the serious accidents
which have been agitating the public"
writes Mrs. Booth, "and the painful
details which have aroused so much
humane sympathy, trust the Gugges-
ton contained in this letter will re-
ceiye some consideration and, If found
practical, may be adopted by your road.
I am a very extensive traveller, spend
ing many days and nights of every
month upon the road, and therefore
any question which affects the life or
comfort of passengers or Of the brave
men ahead comes very closely home to
me-"
Mrs. Booth goes on to say that re-
Gently and in the past many survivors
of wrecks have had to witness the az
ony of injured victims whom they could
not aid. If dumb animal we've seen
in similar circumstances, she says, its
life would be ended by swift blow or
q merciful shot.
"Why not" continues Mrs. Booth,
equip every train, or, better still, the
conductor Of each train, with a small
case containing chloroform, ether, slim.
ulants, bandages. lotions for bruises
and antiseptic solutions for the wash
ing of wounds? These could be packed
in q very small case and would repre-
sent no very costly outlay"

THE BOW IN WAR.
How II Was Made and Used by the
AsiNtlc Tribcsmen.


The bow as used by Asiatic horsemen
assumes a curious shape. They were
made Of horn, generally buffalo horn.
In two pieces, Joined by wooden cen.
ter, and when unstrung had the form
of capital c, which enabled them to
be hung over the arm on horseback.
When strung, q 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 ScythiaRs,
Parthians and Persians and, up to quite
recent times in India. 1t WAS drawn
by the thumb alone, on which the arch
er wore q broad, thick ring Of horn,
ivory or cornclian, 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 the English archers Of the
same period. Bcrnier says, describing
n battle between Aurangzeb and his
brother Dara: They draw their ar
rows with n marvellous swiftncSs, one
man being able to draw six Of them
before a 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"
The bow, in fact, requires more thar
any other weapon constant practice
from childhood, and strong English
men Of the present day are quite una
BILE to use the bows Of the half humar
