An Indian Game,

Flying the arrow is a game that In
dian boys like to play, and they are
very skillful at 1t. A clever player
sometimes has ten in the air at time,
but you can be glad II you have three
arrows up at once. Provide yourself
with bow and several arrows. Shoot
up in the air. and the aim Of the game
is to have as many arrows as possible
up in the air before the first arrow falls
to the ground. Alertness in fitting the
arrow to the string Is the most i'm
portant part, and the sending Of the
first arrow way up high is the other
necessary achievement.

They believed, however, that he was

their Joy. One vizier remained silent
and on being asked by his master why
he did not share In the general Joy re
piled that he did not believe in this
easy victory and offered to prove that
the enemy's army was even then
marching toward them.
"How wilt thou do this?" said the
sultan.

The camel was brought and well

Next morning the vizier caused the
bowl to be brought to him and found
the milk quite black. So he went to

Plants and Frost.

A swedish botanist has propounded
a new theory to explain the killing

fact that certain plants escape dam
age when others are destroyed. He
observed that such plants as ceras-

we're waters Of Sweden, have the
starch I'm their leaves replaced during
the cold season by sugar. He then
found that In plants which do not pos
