Archery, The Cretans are said to have been the first people to practice archery, they having learned the art from Apollo. Three of England's kings and two royal princes were killed by ar rows. Harold and ills two brothers came to their deaitih by arrows shot from the cross-bows of the Norman soldiers. William SBufus was killed liy an arrow shot at a deer ,and Richard I., who revived archery in England, was finally slain by an arrow. Three great battles of English history, Crecy 1346), Poictiers (1336) and Agin court 1415) were won by the archers. In those days there were men who could shoot an arrow from 300 to 500 yards, and Robin Hood is said to have shot from 600 to 800 yards. Ketfyon sollege, Ohio, included archery as one &f the courses of study about three «eore years ago. The Wiser Plan.

She could not be released till the machine had been taken to pieces, and it was found the needle had broken into three pieces in the flesh. The process of extraction was most difficult, the pain reaching the shoul der and danger of lockjaw was feared. Woolen rags were put on burning coals and by holding the finger in the smoke all pain was driven away and never returned, though the finger took long to heal. 1 The smoke and smell of the burning rags may be unpleasant, but that is a slight drawback compared with the danger of lockjaw, or great pain and consequent fever. Another instance was the cure of a wound inflicted by an enraged cat, which tore the flesh from the wrist to the elbow and bit through the fleshy part of the h&Jtfi. One administration of the smoke ex tracted all the pain, which had been frightful. Another Klnit. "Jiggins is the worst base ball crank 1 ever met." "I thought he disliked the game." "That's just it.

I N dence called Mrs. a a for a few minutes, and Gwen and I were alone. "I presume," I observed, "that there was a reason in asking me to call thlB after noon?" "Well, yes," she replied, in a hesitat ing tone, "something has happened, and—" She paused somehow I did not feel particularly eager to hear the news. "The fact is," she continued, hur riedly, "I didn't want you to hear it from any one else, and think me mean, so—" "It does not give promise," I inter rupted, "of being Intelligence that will make me deliriously happy." "It's charming!" she cried, "and you must be very pleased. I'm going to be engaged!" "How Jolly!" I remarked presently I required only a few seconds to appre ciate the information. Gwen stirred her tea in a meditative manner. "Yes, it's very nice," she said "It Is not to be announced until to-morrow to the world at large, but to you, as an old friend—" I looked at Gwen her eyes were still contemplating her tea. "Yes, I sup pose I am an old friend!" I replied dry ly. Then I screwed up my courage and said: "Well, who Is he?" She blushed. I thought she was look ing remarkably pretty. "Leycester," she said, softly. "Ah!" I exclaimed, as If the whole mystery had been solved—"a title!" Gwen gave a nervous little laugh. "Lord Leycester is very nice don't you think so?" "There's no' harm In Leycester," I replied "he's only stupid!" She shot an indignant glance at me. "I think he's very nice," she said, attempting to impart an air of con viction tq her tone. "You don't seem to be very posi tive on the point. It is all very sud den," I added "I have not heard even a whisper." Gwen looked rather embarrassed. "It happened last night," she began. "At the duchess' dance?" The duchess was Leycester's mother, an awe-inspiring personage. "Yes," she replied. "You see, moth er—" "I quite comprehend," I troke in. "Your mother and the duchess have been lunching together lately. Heav en has not a monopoly in the making of marriages. It was ridiculously simple. Gwen was an heiress. Mrs. Beresford was ambitious, and the Leycester family derived their income from Irish estates —a derivation that was every year growing more fanciful in its results. "It's a pity," began Gwen, toying with a lace handkerchief, "that—" "I haven't a title. Exactly," I said, rather brusquely. She appeared not to have heard the remark. At one time Gwen and I had seen a lot of one another, and I felt that an other straw in my favor would have "DO YOU MIND?" brought the matter to a happy termi nation. However it was not to be and now Mrs. Beresford had taken the mat ter into her own hands, and Gwen had probably been allowing her tongue to trip lovingly over the pretty name ot Lady Gwendoline Leycester, until tht present arrangement had been arrived at. "I suppose," she said, thinking It ad visable to change the subject, "I shall see you to-morrow at the Fenwickes?" "Yes," I said. "And now I must be going," I added, lingering for a fo ment, hat in hand.. "I have to see a physician." "I thought you were never in?" she said, anxiously. "What is lt?'V_ "An incipient attack of profound melancholia," I replied, as I took my departure. I went home to dinner, and after wards strolled round to the club, think* Utg that smoking-room gossip would be pleasanter than my own reflections. I spent the remainder of the evening there, and It was striking 12 when I stood on the steps, contemplating whether I should walk or ride back. "Going home. Temple?" said a voice. I turned it was young Leycester. "I'm your way, tt you're walking," he continued. "Yes,".I said, and he linked his, arm within mine. He commenced to talk •bout himself, being quite young. "I'm an awful fool. Temple," he said, presently. I glanced at the fair, boyish-looking face, and mentally agreed with him. "I've came a frightful cropper," he continued. "If you will play baccarat with 'Cap tains' who have forgotten the bum of their regiments," I remarked, "yod' must expect to come croppers." "And I don't dare tell the duchess," he exclaimed. "She has advanced me I all she can spare already. I don't know where to raise another penny, and I shall be sold up!" I began to think of Gwen. "The worst of it is," he went on, "the duchess has arranged a marriage with a pretty little heiress the engage ment is to be announced to-morrow, and I shan't be able to carry the thing through. I haven't even the money to buy a ring!" "Do you wish to marry?" I asked, quietly. "No," he said, impatiently. "She is a nice enough girl, but it is not in my line. What am I to do? The duchess will simply cat me when she finds out the true state of affairs, and if I can't make some sort of a settlement by to morrow I shall have to bolt. It's a comfortable position to be in!" he con cluded, dismally. I reflected. Gwen would not marry me, even if this precious young idiot did "bolt," so I might just as well as sist in giving her the title she coveted. "Leycester," I said, "what sum will settle your creditors for the moment and enable you to carry the marriage through?" He paused for a moment. "Five thousand pounds would do it Why?" "Because," I replied, "believing that a fool should sometimes be helped in his folly, I shall have much pleasure in lending you that amount." Leycester looked at me in amaze ment. "Temple," he cried, "you're a good •un!" We returned to the club, and I wrote him out a check. I left him chatting with Barton Fenwicke, a gossip, who spent a large amount of time retailing information he had picked up, and in vented much which he had not. The next evening I went to the Fen wickes' dance. I had not been there five minutes before I espied Gwen talk iiig with Alice Fenwicke. I strolled up to them a waltz was just beginning. "Are you free for this?" I asked Gwen, as a man came up and claimed Alice. "Yes," she replied. "But you don't want to dance. Come into the conser vatory." I glanced at her in astonishment she seemed perfectly serious. I led her to a secluded spot, and we seated our selves. "Mr. Temple," she said, impetuous ly, "is it true that you have lent Lord Leycester five thousand pounds?" "How in the name of—" I began. "Alice Fenwicke told me," she said quickly. "That gossiping brother of hers, Barton, said he had met Lord Leycester at a club and he told him. Is it true?" She looked at me plead ingly. "Well," I said, "Leycester told me that he had got into a hobble, and would have to run away—" "Arid you helped him'," said Gwen, softly, "so that I might be Lady Ley cester?" I made no reply she turned and laid a hand on my coat sleeve. "Do you know," she said, with a smile, "that I'm very glad that I've found it out before it's toe late." "Found out what?" I asked, almost trembling with excitement. She hung her head, a blush spread ing over her cheeks. "That I value somebody's good opin ion more than a title," she almost whispered. "Gwen!" I exclaimed. Leycester found us presently he seemed In a particularly happy mood. "O, Lord Leycester," said Gwen,. looking up at him frankly, "do you mind if I marry Mr. Temple instead of yourself?" He burst out laughing. "Not in the least," he cried "and. Temple, glorious news! My biggest tenant has come into a fortune and paid up ten years' arrears of rent. I'm out of the wood! By Jove, won't the Duchess be mad when she hears I'm not going to marry, after all!" "And Mrs. Beresford?" I murmured. "I think I can face it," said Gwen, confidently.

When sncb a man as Dr. C. von Spiegel of Saratoga Springs, in an article published in the daily Saratogian of Sept. 14, states that he is indebted, not only to the North American Indians—Kickapoos, Chcyennes, Arapahoes, Pawnees, Apaches, Kiowas, Com anches, etc., but to the many so called uncivil ized nations ot the most remote corners of the globe,— for his enormous collection and the knowledge of their virtues, of roots, herbs, barUs, gums and balsams, by whose use lie has effected the most extraordinary cures in innumerable desperate cases, it would seem that the world at large should no longer hesitate to look for help from such simple but potent njrencies—no matter their origin —instead of dragging out miserable lives of ticknesg that is aggravated by poisonous mineral drugs.
