ANCIENT CUSTOM AT HARROW WILL BE

For nearly two centuries the fourth day Of August was celebrated by an Archery Contest at Harrow, England's famous old school This abolished. but it will be recalled to memory today by the annual ora toricaI contest. which the faculty sub stituted for the sboW-an d5aTrows con tests.
 Archery was popular sport at Harrow from the beginning of the old school Indeed. by the rules laid down by John Lyon, the founder of the school. the necessary implements for the proper exercise of this am usement were required to be fur nished by the parents of every boy on your child said the ordinances drawn up in 1892, at all times bow shafts. bow-strings. and a bracer- The Butts at Harrow was, in former days, 8 beau spot backed by a lofty insulated knoll, crowned with seats, cut on the slopes, for specta- tors.

One of these dresses is still preserved in the sehool-library, where it has been for over 9 hundred years. Whoever shot within the three circles which surrounded the bulls eyeg was salut- ed with a concert of French horns; and he who first shot twelve times nearest the mark, was proclaimed vic tor, and marched back in triumph from the Butts to the towns at the head of a procession of boys, carrying and waving the silver arrow. The entertainments of the day were con cluded with ball, given by the win ner. in the schooI-room. to which all the neighbortng families were invited.
 The gossip of the school comprises a story that in the last century, three brothers successive1y carried off three silver arrows. which their father stuck up in three corners of his drawing-roorn: it became a matter of family pride to fill up the fourth cor ner; and this was effected by the suc- cess of the fourth brother in 1766.

 Official figures from Washinfton show that the. steam tonnage at St Louis in 1854 was greater than at 1 any other port in the United States 1 except New ork and New Orleans and twice as great as at Philadelphia In that year the steamboat arrivals at the levees at St. Louis numbered 3 ,S07, or more than nine on an aver age for every day of the 366. Today the river traffic at St. Louis has shrunk close to the vanishing point. while on the Missouri between its mouth and Kansas City, is almost as bare of craft as it was when Lewis and Clark ascended it in 1904.
 There is some prospect for a re- viva1 Of steam boating, however, but 1 it will be on a small scale compared with that of half a century ago.

SHOWING HOW MIND GROWS

interesting and Something
Of Novelty.

The late Lester f. Ward, who spent
many years in the service of the gov.
eminent at Washington as a scientific
Investigator, prepared shortly before
his death his mental biography, which
consisted of chronological arrange
ment of everything that he had ever
written for publication during 80 years.
This enterprise he terms "Glimpses OF
the Cosmos" and three volumes of the
work have been published.
1t was an interesting thing to do,
even a brave thing. For there are not
many writer's of advanced years who
would relish the giving again TO the
world of their youthful illusions. But
Doctor Wards scheme is a good one.
although there is no need for every
other writer to do the same. For one
reads with amused interest the cock
sure articles of Wards early period;
he did not scruple to enter any field,
whether he knew anything about it or
not. He wrote a good deal on theo-
logical matters during the early days
and 1t Is interesting to note the con-
righteousness Of the absence of logic
and understanding Of the subject mat
ter.
AS the years passed, however, Ward
pulled himself together and he aban-
doned theology and devoted his time
and talents to economics and botany,
in which he excelled. Here the pub

and studied every drawing. Then he
