In the DAVIS when the buffalo was
found In vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an arrow
through q buffalo's body. Remarkable
as this archery was, yet 1t did not
equal that reached by the archers OF
ancient times. 1t Is of record that the
MacRaes of Gairlock, Scotland, were
such skillful archers that they could
hit man at the distance Of 800 yards.
In 1874 the Turkish ambassador at
London shot an arrow. In a field near
that capital, AIS yards against the
wind and 4so yards with the wind.
The secretary of the ambassador. on
hearing the expressions of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,
said the sultan had shot 800 yards.
This was the greatest performance OF
modern days, but pillar, standing
on a plain near Constantinople, record
ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslie, British ambassador to
the sublime port, records that In 11os
he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 9T2 yards.-New York Press.

ty and town may be tested at stated
periods, and in order that the cities
and town sealers may. in turn, inspect
and certify to the correctness of or
correct the weights and measures of
the merchants The State of Maine
hasn't performed its part of the work
for so many years that nobody re-
members when it was done last What
appeared to be a finely wrought set of
standards gathered dust in the base
ment of the State House for nearly 60
years. The counties gradually drop
ped the practice of testing until only
few sets of hay scales remain aud
many of the towns haven't had any
standards for years and some towns
never owned a set.

of meat in the presence of four coyet-
GUS crows. They evidently said great
deal to one another on the subject, and
now and then one of them tried to pull
the meat away from the dog, which
he naturally resented. AT last a big,
strong crow succeeded in tearing off a
piece, with which he returned to the
tree where the others congregated. a
long powwow now ensued, which end
ed In all four crows flying down to the
dog, the leading crow dexterously drop
ping the small piece of meat within
reach of his mouth. The dog immedi-
ately snapped at it, unwisely letting go
the big piece, which was seized by two
crows and carried TO the tree. where 1t
was devoured with much tlutterfng
and hiarity. while the cheated dog
walked away with every appearance
