Trance Has Found Something New to Stir Up a Fuss About. London, Oct. 30.—The Financial News _declares that it has high authority for the statement that in the last few days France has made strong representations to Portugal regarding the Anglo -German ,agreement affecting Portuguese posses- sions in East Africa, informing Portugal plainly that France would consider the lease of the territory on the mainland op- posite Madagascar to any power an un- eriendly act. France recognizes Portugal's condition of financial embarrassment, and the ,French Bank, instigated by the Govern- ment, has offered to finance the next Portuguese coupon. The Portuguese Gov- ernment bas just published a note declar- ing that it will not alienate its rights of sovereignty in any portion of Portuguese territory. The foregoing is in furious contrast to the emphatic but unofficial statements in the English press that Great Britain has acquired a lease of all the Portuguese tterritorios in East Africa. ANNOUNCED AGAIN. Another French Paper Says England Wi11 Protect Egypt. Paris, Oot. 31.—The Petrie makes the .annoucement that immediately on the reassembling of the Chamber of Dopy- -ties, a proclamation will be issued declar- ing that England has annexed Egypt. Captain Baratier, the bearer of Major Marchand's Fashoda report, started for Egypt yesterday with the. Government's enstruotions to Major Marchand. The French press is beginning to mani- fest a much more conciliatory spirit re- garding Fashoda, apparently with a view 'to preparing the public mind for the re- call of the Marchand expedition.

Jerusalem, Oct. 31.—Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria, with their suites, arrived in perfect health at the encampment outside the tame oil Saturday. At 11 o'clook Their Majesties entered the Jaffa gate and at 3 &elooit visited the Churoh of the Holy Sepulchre. The streets presented a lively appearance, and the buildings wore lavishly decorated. Tho formal entry through the Jaffa Gate was heralded by the roar of guns at the Citadel, where the Turkish band played the German Anthem. From the Tower of David, Emperor William and Empress Augusta Victoria proceeded on foot. Yesterday the Imperial pair attended services at the Evangelical Church at Bethlehem, afterwards paying a visit to the Churoh of the Nativity. Emperor William and the Empress, while at the Church of the Holy Sepul- chre, spent ten minutes at the scene of the ornoifizion. Germany With Britain. Berlin, Oct. 30.—The French crisis is anxiously watched In Germany. In the Fashoda question the German Govern- ment, as well as the German newspapers, distinctly side with Great Britain, as British dominion over the Soudan ie held to be in every respect bettor for German interests, eespecially from a commercial point of view.

London, Oot. 31.—During a severe storm last night a small area, about half a mile square, around Denmark Hill, Camberwell, London, was visited by a veritable cyclone. Cabs were overturned, windows, doors, lampposts, trees and chimneys blown down, and a number of houses unroofed The contents of numer- ous hawkers' stalls were carried hundreds of yards in the air by the wind and many people were injurea by the flying debris, which did also immense damage to -property.

FINE JOJNTS Q>' BOIT STRINGING. What Sort of Targets Are In General Vise—The heat Bows and Arrows and ;low to Mahe Theme—lumerouas Chiba* In America end En land, Faeldon is reviving artillery, Numer- ous clubs are being termed throughout the United States and Great Britain, and it is noticeable that the membership is made up largely of woven. Archery, how- ever, is not a game solely for the fair sex, although nothing, except golf so develops the figure and grace dear to the feminine heart. Shc►Qting arrows from bows is of 'an- cient origin. Savages praetfced the art as a means ot defense and likewise to secure e d 1 upon food. Later, loan dpenan the bow ... depended l for a weapon of warfare. The Bible and many of the ancient books mention its use, and the figures on the walls of Egyp- tian and Assyrian buildings show that those people fully understood the art. All through anediatvel times bows and arrows played an important part in history. Since the introduction of gunpowder and the consequent use of firearms it is es a spurt and pastime that nrebery still survives. Thu'e is one advantage which archery possesses over other sports, and that is that not much ground is required, .Any vacant let, and, in smaller cities and towns, the ro„dwili do. Archery cnn bo made ex- pensive or not, just es the person desires. Bows and nrrows and a target and little else are required. Tho best wood for a bow Is yew. The qualities required of n bow aro lightness elasticity and toughness. Other woods furnish these requirements, but notes well as yew. Lane'wood, mulberry or osnge orange will serve the purpose. The best bowrnakers aro English and American. Exeellont bows may be made by persons handy with tools, and care should be taken that the wood selected is well seasoned. A good plan is to purchase the material some months in advance. Weed with straight grain, free from knots, must be chosen. Then tomo the arrows. Experts declare that perfect arrows arc seldom made by an amateur, and then the cost is greater than they could be purchased for. The best ar- rows aro made of hickory, about one-fifth of an inch in diameter. A small niche TARGET AT ONE HUNDRED YARDS. must be made in one end to fit the string, a little below this are glued three feathers, and on the other end of the arrow is a steel point. The weight of an arrow is generally measured by an English shilling. A. quiver for holding arrows, made of tin or leather, is used by some archers, but is not necessary. Some use a glove, and others use what is called a "tip” for the right hand. Tho target is about four feet in diameter, made of straw and covered with muslin. On its surface are painted graduated cir- cles of different colors. The center is yel- low in color, and hitting this counts nine. Then comes a red ring, which counts seven, a blue ring counting five, a black ring counting three, and the outside ring, white in color, which counts one. In a match play three ranges are used, They are 60, 80 and 100 yards from tbe target. In a tournament each archer shoots from the three positions, or ranges, in succession. From 60 yards 24 arrows are shot, from 80 yards 40 and from 100 yards 72. So much for the implements of the game. A novice in archery must learn the proper way to string a bow. The best strings are Flemish, and much depends on the waya bow is strung. To string a bow, place it on the -ground and rest it against the hollow of the right foot, with the back of the bow toward the right log. Take bold of the top of the bow with the right hand and grasp it with the left band iu order to bend it by using the right knee asa lover: The next step is hardest for beginner to learn. It is to aim and shoot straight. The lust principle Is always 'CO draw evenly and cMibcrt1 . Get Into the habit of measuring mentally the space tbo arrow is drawn back. for oertafn rlis- tances. Hold the bow by the plusb with the left hind and while bolding it nearly vertically inelino it slightly to the right. The areola' should bo lifted by the small niche into the string of the bow and abould rest on tho thumb of the left hand, which is now grasping the plush. With the first three lingers of the right ham' draw back the string and arrow. Always turn the left shoulder toward the target. The whole act of shooting is a difficult op- eration. Keep year eye on the target, Use only the right eye in aiming, Loose the arrow at the proper moment, Only practice will enable you to know bow much higher than the target you must shoot in order to overcome the fall during the flight of the arrow. The more you shoot the more fascinated you will become, and by and by perhaps you may enter club contests. A STEEL JAWED GIANT. Otto reterson Brenta+ Chains and Mende Bars With II1s Teeth.

VI, FOURTH QUARTER, IN- TERNATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 6. Text of the Lesson, II Citron.axe. 1.13. Memory Verses, 10-13—Golden Text.. II Citron. xzx, 8—Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Stearn*.. [Copyright, 1898, by D. M. Stearns.] 1. "Come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem to keep the Passover unto the Lord God of Israel." This was the mea, liege of Hezeklah, a king who did right in the sight of the Lord (chapter zxix, 2), to all Israel and Judah, regarding them as one people, Although long divided into two nations. they are Ells in His sight and shall yet be one in the eyes of all nations (Ezek. xxxvii, 21, 22). Hezekiah repaired the bouse of the Lord and restored the worship. He wrought good and right and truth before the Lord his God :and did ev- ery work with all his heart and prospered (chapter zxxi, 20, 21), Ho would have all Israel remember their deliverance from Egypt and rejoice in the Lord and serve 2, 3. "Tho king bad taken counsel, and bis* princes and all the congregation in Jerusalem to keep the Passover in the sec- ond month." Although the first mouth was the regular time for the feast, there was provision in the law to keep is in tbe second month if necessary (Ex. xii, 13; Nallri. ix. 10, 11). Place and time and torso are not so important in Clod"a sight as a heart that is right with Rican. .Hen feasts and Sabbaths area shadonr of things to more, Christ is the reality of all, and apart tram HIM nothing le real (Col. it, 16, 17). 4. ".And the thing pkeasedtbe king And all the congregation," It is written of David ifs II Sam. iii, 36, that "whatsoever the king did pleased all the people." Whom king, dad people ,please saoh other, and all together please God, that Is surely a sample of the hinodom of God on °arta. Thus it shall bewhon Israel obeli have be. octane a righteous nation with the Ohrist, the Son of David, as their King (Ez. =evil, 24, 25). 5, "Make proclamation throughout all Israel to keep the Passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem," Tide feast ootuatiemorating the great deitveranco of Israel out ot the bondage of Egypt by the znigbty powered God was to be kept every year, but in the Old Testament we have an aceaunt of only five After the first one in Ex. ail. These records are found in Num. ix, Josh. v, fI Chron. ammo, Ezra vi and in our lesson. Tho greatest Pass- over in tbo New Testament is recorded in Luke sell, 14, 15, and in the other gospels as having been kept by our Lard and His apostles on the night before He was sacri- /Iced for us as aur ?assover. Ho spoke at that time of a future fulfillment in the kingdom of God (Luke zxii, 16), and in- stitutod the Lord's supper as a memorial of Ills death to be kept by His redeemed till .Be shall come again. 0, "Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaao and Israel and He will return to the remnant of you." Letters from a king to his peo- ple urging them to turn to the Lord God would bo a most unusual occurrence in our tune, Even if a church is in need of funds, it is more customary to turn to some wealthy people or to some worldly way than to the Groat Head of the °burgh. 7. "Bo not ye like your fathers and like your brethren which trespassed against the Lord God of their fathers." Their sin is briefly stated in Jur. ii, 13, "My people have committed two evils; they have for - oaken mo, the fountain of living waters, and bowed them out cisterns, broken els- terns, that cnn hold no water." Thus they changed their glory for that which could not profit. Tho Lord was their judge and lawgiver and king, but they turned their backs upon Him and proferred their own way. Is there any analogy now? 8. "Yield yourselves unto the Lord, and serve tho Lord your God." Tim margin says, "Give the hand unto the Lord." In Ram. vi, 13, it is "Yield yourselves unto God as those tbat are alive from the dead." As unsaved sinners all we are asked to do is to receive Christ. 9. "The Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away His face from you if ye return unto Him." His name in Ex. xxxiv, 6, is "The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth." Road also verse 7. He says in Mal. lit, 6: "I am the Lord. I change not." In Heb. rill, 8, He is "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." He is not willing that any should perish, has provided eternal redemption for all and is ever saying, "Him that cometh to me 1 will in nowise oast out" (John vi, 37). 10. "So the posts passed from city to city, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked them "—that is, many of Ephraim, Manasseh and Zebulun did. The final tes- timony concerning Judah is, "They mock- ed the messengers of God and despised His words, and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His peo- ple, till there was no remedy" (II Chron. xxxvi, 16). This is the carnal mind which is enmity against God and is ever the same, but these were not the heathen who never heard of God. They were the people of God for whom He had done more than for any nation on earth. See II Tim. ill, 1-5. 11. "Nevertheless divers of Asher, Ma- nasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem." When Paul preached in Rome, some believed the things which were spoken and some be- lieved not (Acts zxviii, 24). So it ever has been and will be till the end of this age. The parables of the sower, the tares, the mustard seed and the leaven of Math. tilt, all teach this, as also the plain in- struction to both prophets and apostles in Isa. vi, 9; Jer. i, 19; Ezek. iii, 7-9; Math. x, 16. Tho messenger of God may always be sure that some will receive the message and that the word of the Lord will never return to Him void. 12. "Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the com- mandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord." It is God who worketh. He death according to His will. He guides His willing people and makes even the wrath of man to praise Him. 13. "And there assembled at Jerusalem Uncertain cyclometer". "Cyclometers," remarks an English- man, "aro groat companions, but when the rider of exact mind discovers that the cyclometer in which he has reposed hie trust, and by which he has sworn full many a time and oft, is inaccurate then pleasure in the meter fails. The cyclone - eters largely in use today are ingenious and cheap, but aro seldom absolutely ac- curate. Presuming, however, that any one of them was a perfect instrument when in use under perfect conditions, the re- sults shown thereon after a ride would be incorrect to the extent produced by the deflection of the rider from the straight line when riding and the difference in the diameter of his front wheel when in use from 28 inches or 30 inches, to which the little instrument is pitched. I have a cy- clometer in use at present which from both the pauses mentioned shows an aver- age plus distance of 16 yards in a mile, and this' is one of the best•Amerioan ay ololneters in the market. This is the plus distance for average country riding, but in traf is riding the error frequently rune up to 22 or 24 yards. To render a cyclom- eter a thoroughly reliable instrument it would have to bo constructed with some means of adjustable compensation for the wheel error at ]east, but with the public educated to the purchase of cyolometers at absurdly cheap prices this is not likely to arrive."
