Archer's Advantages.

The eye cannot, of course, follow the progress of bullet, and the rifle man may miss his game by the meas ure of one foot or five, yet never know the amount of his error. But the flight of the most swiftly sent arrow may be easily followed, and "close" miss gives the shooter self congratulatory thrill almost equaling the happiness of center hit. There is a gratifica- tion in watching a shaft flash past the head of a justly indignant, much astonished squirrel. And there is real excitement, too, in watching a steel pointed arrow leap into the blue, there narrowly failing to intercept that TO. que of the woods, the heavily flying crow. The archer's great advantage rests in the comparative silence with which his hunting may be carried on. A shot means the soft twang of DOW string and the low whisper of an arrow and these sounds seldom greatly frighten game.-Outing

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team was playing the Kingston team one day years ago, in the Atlantic league, and guy named Fogarty was umpire. In the ninth inning, with the score tied, two of McCabe's men played out, and as Bill had only one man extra, he had to rush the bleacher seats to find a man to fill in. He drew a big nick, who said he couldn't play, but for the fun could fill in. There were two out at the time and the fans were ex- cited.
 Our hero, the nick, came to bat He drew three balls and the next one across he pickled over the left field fence for homer. Instead of running, the fathead stood there while the crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran out to him and yelled, Run, you boob, run!"
 The nick turned and faced Bill and in slow voice drawled: "No, sir, won't run. I'm no coward. I'll admit I lost your ball, but I got the money right here in my pocket to pay for il"

 Sorry, MT. Walters, but my orders are definite-you must pay the bill within AS hours or 1 shall have to close you up.'
 You are subjecting me to a severe hardship, sir"
 MT. Thomas Biggs, senior partner of Biggs, Bluett & Co.,. opened eyes and palms expansively, shrugged his shoulders, arose from his seat and took up his hat.
 You are asking of me impossibili- ties," spoke Sidney Walters. Every dollar I have in the world is invested in this business. Actual orders far overplus my liabilities. In another month we will have not only a free deck, but surplus. I beg of you to alter your hard decision"
 Business is business,' spoke the other blandly. ''The house went all over your case before I left the city. You owe us $2,O0O. It is 30 days past due. Our rules are invariable. I came down here to look into affairs. I find that your quick assets are shy over 40 per cent, where in every healthy business they should stand in the proportion of two to one as to active debts, I find almost the re- verse. What in the world ever made you bulk all your capital in fixed assets? 1t is ruinous. It means slow liquidation in case of a failure Con- mercially your business proposition is not solvent. We shall have to have our money by Saturday morning .or file bill for an accounting"
 (Which means ruin for me-, said Walters drearily. ''If you would give me time to go to the city and apply to some of the banks"
 Impossible. You would have to delay me here for several days, and my time is precious. Can you not get your friends here to assist you?"
 'I am practically a stranger" re, piled Sidney in low, strained tone, land the community, as you know; is a poor one"
 Sidney, indeed, spoke the truth. When he determined to start in busi- ness-the manufacturing of fine con- tact metal points for intricate vehicle equipment-he had discounted the ele- ments of bulk as to shipments. An abandoned plant at Acton was offered

rings which gather up the silk and shape the garment to the figure. The collar ends in narrow frill lined with second frill of white organdie.
 The waist line is outlined with rows of shirrings forming belt, and shir- rings confine the fullness of the sleeves at the head of flaring cuffs. The belt is clasped at the front with orna- mental clasps of composition.
 In the poplin suit at the left a pointed tunic and peplum suggest a hounced skirt. The underskirt is plain and only moderately wide. The tunic Is finished with velvet ribbon in black, and the peplum is bordered with it.

HypnotizIng Animals.

Hypnotizing hen is trick known to most country boys. It Is an old expert. ment, first described by the Jesuit fa- ther, Athanasius Kircher, who laid a hen on a table. held 1t firmly for lit tie while, and drew 8 chalk line in front of it's eyes, with the result that it remained as if in catalepsy
 In India it is known that a cobra caught by the neck and gently pressed will soon become stiff and remain so for a considerable time. A frog fas. tened to a board and turned suddenly upside down goes into trance.
 If you pick up crab and wave it in the air it becomes immobile, female bending her legs over her abdomen, a male sticking them out straight. The same is true of the fresh-water craw. fish.
 Among the insects "death-feigning" is common, and is often a means o1 saving the life of the insect.
 The hypnotic condition is induced in man by suggestion of physical in hibition, but in both cases sensatory stimuli may assist. These stimuli may be optic (fxing the gaze on some ob' ject) or tactile (stroking. the skin) or otherwise.

for a mere song. He purchased it. He paid cash for his machinery out fit and overbought as to raw mate rial.
 It was with a great sense of con- fort that he finally opened the little factory, giving employment to some 20 men. Expenses and wages were low. It was true that Acton was 20 miles from a railroad. It did not even boast an automobile. The town was isolated-shut in to 1tself-but once a week a slow numbering side-wheei steamer came up from the city with passengers and freight and took back the product of the plant, packed in neat boxes, not many of them, for the points brought high price, were man. ufactured under an exclusive patent and sold readily.
 Sidney had settled down to a hum drum routine, glad to be apart from the jar and pustle of the city. He figured out a growing business based upon light overhead expense. His help was not overworked; he was modest in his style of living. He brought work and comfort to many a poor workman. His ambition was satisfied.
 And now, suddenly, terrifically alarming, came the advent of Biggs Many a time Sidney had realized that he was straining his credit, but the orders ahead were sure future in. come. The plant and equipment rep. resented solid values. He had not been business man enough to compre bend that the fronclad rules of busi ness demanded quick assets that could be swiftly realized on in case oi exigency.
 MT. Biggs left for his hotel Sid ney sank into chair dejectedly. He caught the echo of a sob in the next room and went to its open doorway and peered in. His office girl sat leaning over her typewriter, a hand kerchief applied to her eyes.

Two afternoon suits, one of silk pop lin and one of taffeta, proclaim them selves correct opponents of the ac- cepted mode, but each has something unusual and chic to boast of.
 In the suit of bronze taffeta at the right it is the clever use of shirrings that gives it its bit of distinction. The skirt is extra full and is shaped into the waist with parallel rows of shir- rings set close together. This man. agement of the skirt is familiar enough, but the same idea introduced in the coat is unusual. A short yoke and high collar are formed by shir-
