Famous Feats 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 ar
row through buffalc's body. Re.
markable as this archery was, 1t did
not equal that reached by the archers
of ancient times. 1t is of record that
the MacReas of Gairlock, Scotland.
were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance of
800 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
a field near that capital AIS yards
against the wind. The secretary of
the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions of surprise from the Eng
lish gentlemen present, said the Sui
tan had shot 500 yards. This was the
greatest performance of modern days,
but a pillar standing on a plain near
Constantinople recorded shots rang
ing up to 500 yards. Sir Robert Aims

lime Porte, recorded that nj 1898 he
was present when the Sultan shot an

We and the British Have Sweet Tooth.

Britons have the sweetest tooth, and
Americans come next, II the stats
tics for consumption of sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu-
ally 92.4 pounds, an American con-
sumes 1872 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption is 1875 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland it is 55
pounds; in Germany, Holland, Swed-
en- and Norway 1t is from SO to A
pounds; in France, 35 pounds; in

STA, 1873; in Portugal. 1874; in Spain
and Turkey, IL; In Italy, Bulgaria,
Eoumania and Serbia, from to 7

The principal reason for these varia.
lions is found in the relative highness
or lowness of the customs duties on
sugar and on the things with which 1t
is commonly ssociated--coffee. tea,
etc.
