COMPULSORY Archery.

Archery was once compulsory
exercise in every English parish aft
er Sunday church. ct is a worthy
game" preached Bishop Latimer, "a
wholesome kind of exercise and
much commended in physic." A
fine of halfpenny for abstaining
from archery practice on Sunday
was enforced in Edward Ills reign,
and Henry Wills crack regiment,
the yeomen of the guard, was COM
posed entirely of bowmen. Archery
flourished some time after the intro
duction of the hand gun, though
this had been used in England as
early as 1471. This developed, in
James LIS time, into the caliver, so
called from the English misconcep-
ton Of an order to supply English
soldiers with guns of the same Cali
ber' as the French pattern, and the
longbow was finally abandoned in

'Nl'ho sea robin, for instance. His
body is like IA catfsh's in shape. In
color it is speckled and ugly, frog

a pair of brown wings. Well, this

Birds Calls.

There are many birds of which
the male ard female have the same
call, such as the raven, the rock,
the New Zealand parson bird and
the gull, and to the highly cult
waited musical ear a difference in
pitch may be perceived which would
escape the ordinary observer. With
the true songsters there is little DIFF
ference in the vocal organs Ct the
two sexes, although the males Of
most species sing better and more
continuously than the females.

: A pisausted Shah.

When a shah of Persia was visit
ing'England lie frequently expressed
his contempt for the mildncss of
English law. So he was finally taken
to Newgate in order that he might
see a gallows. He at once manifested
great interest in it and, expressing
a desire to see how it worked, asked
the governor to hang a man. The
governor explained that he had not
at the time a man ready for the
experiment, whereupon the shah ex-
pressed his contempt. But he in
timated that that was of no conse-
quence. ''Hang one of these" said
he, pointing to his suit, each man
of which probably trembled in his
shoes. And very great indeed was
the shah's disgust when he found
that he could not prevail upon the
governor to do what he wanted.

of dynamite placed under the saloon Of
John DAILY at Detroit was exploded about
about o'clock this morning. with the
result that the building was blown to

was heard more than five miles. and
windows in all buildings within a radius
of two blocks were broken by the con.
cussion. II is said that there has been
q strong feeling against DAILY, who ran
the only saloon in Detroit, for some time
among persons opposed to the saloon
business, As yet there is no suspicion as
to the perpetrator.
