The bow and leave

portant part in the history of the wend,
but to come down to modern times, tbe
Royal aompany of Archers, the aeing's
bodyguard of eicotlane, is the Most im-
portant soeiety of archers now existing. W
George IV, when Prince of ales pats
ronized the practice of archery end au-
reerous societies of archers were formed,
some of which still Mild their meetings in
various parts of the country, ladies tak-
ing an active share in the competitioa for
prizes.
On the visit of Her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria to Edinburgh at the time of her
jubilee the Royal Archers of Edinburgh
acted as her eseert. They are only a
small body of men to -day, perhaps fifty
in number, yet they uphold all the an -
Ment traditious of the company. A. part
of the public land was given over to
them for their special use, and they care
be seen any eaturday afternoon prattle-
ig archery.
The implements used in archery as a
pastime are a bow, arrows, a quiver, a
pouch, a belt,' a tassel and grease pot, an
arm guardz a shooting glove, a target
and a worms card,
The bow le usually from five to six
feet in length, the strength being reck-
oned by pounds, varying barn twenty-
five to eiglay, those used by gentlemen
being in strength from fifty to eighty
ipounds, those for ladies from twenty -
live to forty. The former are made of a
• single piece of yew or ash, the latter of
• ilancewood or hickory, glued back to
'back.
In forraine the bow the wood is gradus
Sealy tapered': and at each. end is a tip of
thorn, the one at the upper end being
longer than the lower end, and one side
of the bow is flat, called tlie "back," the
either being rounded and called the "bel-
ay." Near the centre, where the bow is
aield, it is bound with velvet, which part
Is called the "haudle," and in each tip of
horn is a notch for the string to rest
called the "neck."
The string of the bow is manufactur-
ed of hemp or flax; the hemp strings

bear a harder pull. Before using the
bow, hold it in a perpendicular direction,
with the string toward you, and see if
the line of the string cuts the middle
of the bow; if not shift the eye and the
nose of the string to either side, so as
to"trieke 'the two lines coincide. This
precaution prevents a very cornmeal
cause of defective shooting, which is the
.result of an uneven string throwing t be
arrow aside. .After using the bow un-
string it, and if a large party shoot-
ing, after every "end" it should be freell
from its state of tension, But io this
respect there is a great difference in dif-

THE WANDERING OIL MAN.
Soldier of Fortune Who Searches the

The oil man is the real Bedouin of the
world. Ile is a greater traveller than the
Arab of the desert ever was, says the
13aeletaville correspondent of the lennsies
City Star. Go to Philadelphia, to Texas,
to California, to Japan, or to any other
place where there are oil wells and you
will find the same faCCS, you will hear
the same talk of "working barrels," "pul-
ling rods" and all that sort of thing.

There are three of these vaults, one

these is for gold, one for silver and one

the other two. Each is fitted with every
safety appliance knowij to the art. On
each is a burglar alarm, and the doors
are fitted with four time locks, besides
a combination lock. Within the main
door, says the Western Electrician, is a
grating having two locks, the 'keys of
which are carried by two sepaaate em-

While ItugFia is down waiting to be de

growth. of recent, years, and teatifies tolan
the progress mole by tilos little isd
people in the ways of modern eivilization.
A statatician has devoted soine care to
a eaniparison between the Japan of to
4,147 and the United States at the close
of the Civet War, and offers theta figares
for cousideration:

Commenting, on this statement the
Nev, York Journal of Commerce male:
"The United. Statai 1865 not only hal

foreign trade of Japan is at present only
about lialf what that of the United
States was in 3860, her banking capital
and bank deposits do not fall for be-
hind." Japa.n's wise course in protecting
her gold reserve by floating foreign loans
and creating tunas in London and New
York is in staikiag oontrast, with that
of the United States in suspending specie
payments, paper money going down to 40
cents on the dialer almost at one rash.
The anthority already quoted says:
Not only in regard to maintaining gold
payments, but in prompt resort to taxa-
tion, Japanese etateseaen have shown
themselves more enlightened, than th.ose
of America. forty-five years ago. The fig-
ures presented above, showing an annual
publie revenue in Japan equal to twice
that of the United States in 1800, shows
how resolutely and fearlessly the policy
has been pursued of raising war funds by
taxation anstea.d of relying exclusivedy
upon loans. Such. a. policy is worth niany

to the Treasury, because oe the proof it

PAINFUL PERIODS
CRNAMB DIAN WOMEN FRELIEF
The Casa of Ellen Walby Is One of
Thousands of Qures Made by Lydia
R. Pinkbanes Vessetable Corepound.
How many women realize that men-
struation sis the balance wheel of a
womana life, and while no woman is
entirely free from periodical suffering,
it is .not the plan of nature that women
should sufier so severely?
Thousaaads of Canadian women, how
ever, have found relief from all monthly
suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkhara's
Vegetable Compound, as it is the most
thorough female regulator k-novvn to
medical scienee. It cures the condition
which eauses so much discomfort and
robs menstruation of its terrors.
Ellen Walby, of Welliugton Hotel,
Ottawa, Ont., writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkbano—
“Your Vegetable Compound wa.s reclean -

ing whieh I endtu•ed every month and with
'which I had been a sufferer for many years

ing discouragod with doctors and their medi-
cities I determined to try Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Cateepound, and. I atn glad that I
diel, for within a short timo I began to mend
and in an incredible shortme space of tithe

flow was regular, natural and without
This seems too good to be true and am
indeed a grateful and happy woman.”
Women who are troabled tvith pain-
ful or irreguLar menstreation, should
take prompt action to ward off seri-
ous consequences, and be restored to
pertect health and strength by taking
