Grooves In Indian Arrows.

In making the Indian arrow three
small undulating grooves are cut on the
shaft. running down to the head from til"
lower end o. the feathers. This has at
tracted the attention of some of the eth
nol0gistS who gave the matter consider
able study and wisely concluded that the
little lines ".c?C made for the blood TO
run through, or that they represented
lightning.
An old Omaha who had the reputation
Of being very skillful in cutting the
grooves in arrow shafts was called by
the chief to do that work for him or
some arrows he was making. The chi"f
himself was q fine arrow maker, but he
recognized the skill Of the old man in
this particular line While the work was
in progress the chiefs son, who had
reached the inqustive age, and Was
looking on with wide-eyed interest, sud
denly asked ''Vcnerablc man, why are
you making those crooked lines?'
The chief gave a hearty laugh and
said: Father, tell him, for lie will be
making arrows himself some day, and he
should know
Every sapling,' answered the old
man, out of which the arrow is mad"
has some defect, however faultless il
may appear 10 be. The good arrow
maker takes a great deal of pains to
smooth out and straighten the imperfec
lions by oiling and heating. But the
wood, in time, will spring back because
Of its inherent defects, unless these
grooves are cut in the shaft soon after

SUNDAY Is NOT BETTER.
Bob" Evans Says Monday Is as Much
the Lords Day, in Reference to
Navy Baseball.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-From the cor
respondence between Admiral Evans Of
the North Atlantic fleet, the Evangelical
alliance of Boston and one of the select
men of Proyincetown, Mass, it appears
that Fighting Bob" did not accept very
gra ciously the criticism of his men play
ing baseball on Sunday.
The men had bought land and laid out
a ball park at Provincetown, but now
this is to be sold and the fleet will rem
devious at Rockland, Me. One OF the
resolutions attacking the admiral said:
We discern in his action a singular dis
regard of the civic and religious sentiment
and laws, and that he has placed himself
in position unworthy of a servant of our
federal government If it be true that LAND
recreation fer the men of our navy is now
restricted to the Lords day, this body
would recommend that the navy department
consider such change of regulations as
would allow recreation upon land on some
other day of the week.
The admiral i'll his reply says he com
municated with the navy department i'll
regard to Sunday ball playing and that
it would be discontinued
He denied that the men of the navy
were restricted to Sunday for recreation
and concluded his communication with
the following tart paragraph:
In view of the above think that it would
De well if this Christian society Of which
you are the secretary would reconsider it,
resolutions, unanimously adopted" and in
future would charitably refrain from adopt
ing similar resolutions regarding myself
which may be based upon erroneous state
ments, such as seem to have been the
foundation for these.
In another letter to one of the select
men of Provincetown the admiral eX
planned his action and said he was be-
lleved that Monday is as much the
Lords day as Sunday and that every
day is one on which charity and good
will toward man. should be followed.
