Eeats of Archery.

In the days 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 a buffalo's body. Remarkable
as this archery was. yet it 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 q man at the distance Of 500 yards.
In 1894 the Turkish ambassador at
London shot an arrow, in field near
that capital, 415 yards against the
wind and 4S2 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 500 yards.
This was the greatest performance of
modern days, but pillar, standing
on plain near Constantinople. record
ed shots ranging up to 800 yards. Sir
Robert Ainslie. British ambassador to
the sublime port. records that in 1893
he was present when the sultan shot
an arrow 072 yards.-New York Press.

Mark 1wain,s German Coffee.

German coffee must have given
Mark Twain a pain, Judging from the
following recipe which he gave for its
eoncoction:
Take barrel of water and bring it
to bon; rub chicory berry against
a coffee berry, then convey the former
into the water. Continue the boiling
and evaporation until the intensity of
the flavor and aroma Of the coffee and
chicory have been diminished to a
proper degree; then set aside to cool.
Now unharness the remains of a once
cow from the plow. insert them in a
hydraulic press, and. when you shall
have acquired a teaspoonful of that
pale blue juice which German super
stition regards as milk, modify the
malignity of it's strength in bucket
of tepid water and bring up the break
fast Mix the beverage in a cold
cup, partake with modeEtion, and
keep a wet rag around your head to

GERMANY SURRENDERs CHINA
Secret Arran ement to Annex 1t to
California Disclosed
JAPAN STIRRED
Minister Wu-Wine-Tu Won Over
by Imperial Valley Envoy,
Barbara Ware

German secret State circles
will undoubtedly be reused to
know that full publicity has
been made of the diplomatic
fact that, acting merely in a
clerical capacity for the au-
thor, we had the privilege last
= spring of forwarding to the pub
fishers the final manuscript of
"The Winning of Barbara
WORTH Having an abiding
faith in the merit and influence
of the book to-be, and rejecting
that pictorial presentation was
potent factor with the public
today, the thought arose that
truthful and artistic delineation
of actual development of Bar
bara's desert would be of value
both at home and for sending
abroad.
We therefore placed an order
in Germany for the manufacture,
for us exclusively, of a line of
fine China, both thin and medi-
um, to be decorated in highest
art from subjects furnished by
us, photographs of actual nat
ural scenes of this desert"
The commission was entrust-
ed to a German artisan whose
name is little known in this
country. But where it is famil-
lar, it is one of those names pro-
nounced, by not sounding any of
the latters in it, Yonrote. Cruel
as is the name, it nevertheless
is recognized in Germany as
that of an exceptionally accurate
and delicate delineator. The
beauty of his blendings and his
rich and softened colorings are
exceedingly rare, yet never false
or discordant.
Our hopes were high, our ex-
pectations confident. In the fin
ished product both have been
more than fulfilled; and we take
pardonable pride in present
ing to this valley worthy ware,
originated here and christened
for it's typical heroine, Barbara.
The subjects are hand-painted
scenes, painted by the hand of
the Almighty.
HencefOrth Barbara ware will
be souvenir of this valley, rich,
glowing and growing, and it's
W rthy exponent wherever seen.
ITS tuff to be pore; but it's
porer not to be at ALL And so,
while we have all the Barbara
ware that exists, we have not
very large stock. 1t will be ad-
visable for you, therefore, to
make your selections from it
early, remembering that every
piece you obtain is of the orig
inal creation of beautiful truth
ful and artistic BARBARA ware.
