George Buchanan was a scholar, his
torian. cOntroversiallst and the best
Latin poet OF his age. Buchanan was
tutor to Mary, queen OF Scots, and to
her son James, afterward James 1. OF
England One day he caused himself
to be made king of Scotland, and this
was the way of 1t: Having observed In
James tendency to too ready acqui-
escence, he drew up a paper for the
royal pupil to sign. James did 40 at
once without having rend 1t. The doc
ument happened to be transfer of the
royal authority to Buchanan for fifteen
days, and no sooner had the poet got 1t
into his possession than he began to
play the monarch, even before the king
himself. james thought the man a lu-
matte until the instrument was pro
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This Incident was
used by the worthy preceptOr to illus
trate the Days lesson on the response
bilities OF monarchs.

A throwing Stick Throwing
board" or spear thrower." as 1t Is
sometimes called, is contrivance for
casting javelin or harpoon, which is
employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos, among whom its use is al
most universal Roughly speaking, It
is a narrow grOoved board a foot or SO
long, with one end cut into a handle
and the other provided with stud or
spur for the butt OF the spear to rest
against. 1t is used thus: Grnsping the
handle as he would sword, the man
FITS the shaft of the spear Into the
groove, with the butt resting against
the stud, stendyIng the spear with the
finger. Then, extending his arm and
bending back his hand tin the spear
lies horizontal, he aims at the mark
and propels the weapon by a quick
forward jerk of the stick. In this way
have seen Eskimo boys casting their
forlzed javelIns ut wounded waterfowl

A circus without clowns would be
in such a way as to keep the audi
ance is interpreted would pail up
on the audience, no matter low dar-
ing or death-defying if the tension
was not relieved, at intervals, by
the merry antics of the Grimaldis.
The management of the Barnum &
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth,
which exhibits in this city, Friday.
Sept. IA, has recognized this fact
by organizing for the current sea-
son company of forty clowns, each
one Of whom is said to e special

appeared alone, and depended to a
great extent upon his individual eff
forts to create merriment for the
audience. Owing to the enormous
size of the Barnum & Bailey tents
individual performances have to q
great extent disappeared, and the
leading clowns either have assist
