ArChers

Archery has been practlced in the
United States at intervals, in a desul-
tory way. and on two or three occa-
sions has seemed on the point of be-
coming popular. About 1880 it must
have been practiced here to. con-
siderable extent, Judging from the
trade catalogues and manuals pub
lished about that time by the dealers
In archery goods. Again about 1875
there was revival Of the sport in
this country, and in 1870 there was
formed National Association, which
has held its annual contests since.

CANNED PINEAPPLE.

Select for this purpose the sugar
loaf pineapple, which is longer than
the strawberry and remains green even
when nearly ripe. 1t is a pure white
fruit with shallow eye that can be
easily peeled of. To test its ripeness
pull one of the little spines sharply.
Ii 1t comes out easily the fruit is in
good condition for preserving. 1t is
best to put up pineapples in moder-
ately heavy syrup. A good proportion
is three-quarters of pound of sugar
to a pound Of the fruit, measured after
1t has been peeled ana cut into little
cubes or torn into shreds with d fork.
The choice Singapore pines that come
canned in heavy syrup are cut in slices
about quarter Of an inch thick, with
the core cut out in circle shape. but
this is not easily done in the ordinary
canning. AS fast as the fruit is pre-
pared put into large stone jar, layer
by layer, with three-quarters of its
weight In sugar between. each layer.
When all the pineapples are prepared
put cover on the jar and let it stand
in the cellar or any cool place until
the next morning. BY that time the
juice will have completely dissolved
the sugar and clear syrup will cover
the fruit, Put the fruit and syrup in

cooking may vary from FIVE to thirty
minutes, according to the ripeness of
the fruit.

NEW IRONING BOARD.

A woman has invented and had pat
ented an ironing table that possesses
some new features.
The thing is made in two sections,
one Of them being portable standard
and the other the table proper, with d
sleeve to fit down over the standard
and hold it in place when the process
Of ironing is to be undertaken 1t is
easy to handle for the reason that the
two parts can be moved separately,
and special feature is the fact that
the height Of the table may be adj

THE GENIUS OF THE LAMP.

The title Of 1.-THE Sultan Of Sulu' has
a comic opera sound which, writer in
Everybody's Magazine declares, is car
Tied out by the appearance and behav-
Tor of this Oriental potentate. The Sui
tan and his suite were once entertained
at luncheon on board United States
transport. None of them had ever
been on board large vessel before.
The visit was full Of surprise and ex-
element for them.
They looked the ship over at first
with stolid interest. and the Sultan
himself set off the six-pounder without
Ticking an eyelid. But at last, in the
saloon, some one attempted to explain
the mystery of the incandescent lamps.
and there the natives were surprised
out of their reserve.
Even the Sultan's face showed
amazement when an army officer
reached up and turned a lamp on and
off repeatedly. His Highness ordered
one Of his suite to do it. The fellows
face went greenish for moment, but,
nevertheless. he reached up and trem-
blingly touched it as he would have a
hot brand. When he found that it did
not hurt him, and that the light actu-
ally obeyed the impulse Of his finger
lips, ne was the most excited Moro in
the archipelago His excitement was
contagious. Nearly every one in the
suite started for lamp on his own ac-
count, and the cabin was a bewilder-
ment of flashing lamps.
Presently Oriental cunning got the
better of amazement. and one or two
Of them tried to fool the lamps. A fell
low would steal quietly up to bulb,
and, reaching forward, suddenly turn II
on, evidently with the intention Of
catching it mapping. Or he would turn
# off and jump away. apparently with
the same intention. But the lamps re-
fused to be fooled. and the facial ex-
preston that followed each failure
was ludicrous to behold.
OF course, they wanted to know what
made the light. 1t was impossible to
give them history Of electrical devel-
opment, but. an officer present thought
Of giving them an object lesson that
would prove short cut to knowledge.
He directed four or five of them to
Stand in line holding hands. Then the
lmen on the ends of the line were told
to each grasp the brass part of lamp.
They did So and instantly the entire
line sustained an electric shock. They
were ito astonished to speak, and not
knowing CROUCH to let so, they just
stood there, with wonder and fear surg
ing from face to face
The officers broke them apart at last
and took them in to luncheon, but they

sense of the power Of the British EN-
pire. No more remarkable Illustration
of his muscular force can be given
than the feat which led Queen Victoria
to bestow on him the Albert medal,
granted to civilians for acts Of extra
ordinary gallantry, which in the army
and navy would have won the Victoria
Cross. In fact, the Albert medal
which Sir William is the only Colonial
Governor to wear, may be looked OH
as the civilian counterpart OF the VIC
toria Cross,
1t took place while he was High Com
missioner and Administrator of Eng
lands possessions III the Pacific. with
headquarters at Suva, the capital Of
Fiji. The Syria, with a shipload Of
Indian coolies on board, had struck on
a rock at some distance from Suva.
The only way by which the vessel,
which was stuck on reef at the foot
Of precipice, and being pounded to
pieces by the surf, could be reached,
was by means Of ropes and broken
mast, which had fallen against the side
of the cliff. Again and again Sir Will
lam made the perilous journey to and
from the wreck, either with man or
woman on his back, and sometimes
with child held, by its clothes be-
tween his teeth in addition thereto.
The greatest tax on his strength
was. however, in connection with the
rescue from the wreck Of white wo-
man, who had got at the spirits, was
mad with drink and had fallen over
board. The captain Of the ship and
police officer, who had gone after her,
were being swept out to sea. Sir Will
lam caused himself to be let down by a
rope, caught the knot of the woman's
hair in his teeth, and with his hands
seized the two men and dragged them
all three to safety. Then he wrote his
report of the disaster and of the res
cue. Several of those who had taken
part in the latter received the Royal
Humane Society medal But as there
was no mention in Sir Williams re-
port Of his own services, or, in fact, of
his having been upon tie scene at all.
it was not until much later that the
matter was brought to the attention
Of the Government and by the latter
to that of the Queen, who, as stated
above, conferred on him the Albert
medal. Sir William is a Scotch ply
sician hail;ng from Glasgow.
