But there are other
features of archery from the pure
ly physical point of view. To make
a successful shot with the bow one
must bring every muscle of the
body under most perfect control
and into most perfect co-ordination
with the eye. This factor itself is
of important educational signifl
cant he factor of self control at
a trying moment. When the bow
is full drawn every muscle must be
in the highest tension, the body in
absolute equilibrium, the bow held
as if in a vise and the point of the
arrow on the mark. Then the string
must bound from the fingers wlth
out a waver or jerk. These are only
some of the elements of archery,

Affected the Verdict.
“You see, gentlemen,” said the
counsel for the defendant compla
cently— it was a compensation plaintiff case
—“I have got the into a
very nice dilemma, If he went
there seeing that the place was dan
gerous, there was contributory neg
ligence, and, as his lordship will tell
you, he can’t recover. If he did not
see it was dangerous, neither could
my client have seen it, and there
was no negligence on his part. In
either case I am entitled to your
verdict.” The jury retired. “Well,
gentlemen,” said the foreman, “I
think we must give him £300.” All
agreed tleman except a stout, ruddy gen
in the corner, who cried
hoarsely, “Give him another £ 60 ,
gemmen, for getting into the dilem
ma!” Verdict accordingly.—Lon

Prentiss and His Wit.
Sergeant S. Prentiss was a great
lawyer and an eloquent orator as
well as a humorist, but his humor,
though at times excessive, never ob
scured his oratory or weakened his
argument. He was once engaged in
a political discussion on “the stump”
with a gentleman who was wordy,
dull and spoke “against time” so
that Prentiss might speak at a dis
advantage. It was nearly dark when
Prentiss rose, and the same moment
a jackass in a neighboring pound until
began braying and kept it up and
Prentiss’ friends were annoyed
his opponents delighted. When the
jackass stopped, Prentiss, casting a
comical look at his unfair antag
onist, said:
“I did not come here today to
,
reply to two equally eloquent
speeches.” Then ho sat down, and
his friends carried him from the
stand in their arms.

MAN'S WEAKER HALF.
One 8ide of the Body Generally Not
Wholly Developed.
The popular belief is that the
left side is weaker than the right,
and, as in all popular beliefs, there
is much truth in this. In most
cases the right arm is decidedly
stronger than the left, the bones
are larger and the muscles more
vigorous.
When we come to consider the
lower limbs, however, we find a pre
cisely opposite state of affairs. The
left leg is stronger than the right in
the great majority of cases. This
want of symmetry is noticeable all
through the body. Nine times out
of ten we see better with one eye
than with the other and hear better
with the left than with the right
ear or vice versa.
Not only so, an injury to the
body, a burn or a cut, for instance,
causes more pain on one side than
it would were it inflicted on the
other. Even diseases attack one
side on their first onset in prefer
ence to the other. Eczema, vari
cose veins, sciatica and even tuber
culosis begin invariably to mani
fest themselves on our weaker side.
A blistering plaster, too, will pro
voke an eruption only if applied to
the right side in certain individuals;
in others only if applied to the left
sidev
Thc simplest way apparently weaker side of
discovering which is our
is to observe which side we lie upon
by preference in bed, as it is cer
tain that we will instinctively adopt
the attitude which is most agree
able or, rather, which causes the
least inconvenience. In other words,
we will lie upon the side the mus
cles of which, being more vigorous,
are less sensible to the pressure
upon them of the weight of the
body.
Statistics and observation go to
prove that in about three cases out
of four it is the left side which is
the weaker, thus giving reason to
the popular dictum. pneumonia, Curiously it has
enough, however,
been noticed, unlike most diseases,
usually attacks at first the right—
that is to say, the stronger side of
the body._
No Chance For tlluaiona.

when she accepted She hard
offer of marriage. tongued was a

and she knew it.
Also, however, she knew her ca
pabilities as cook and housekeeper,
and she was well aware that Hiram

had P hut a fa-
vorite with the feminine portion of
the village. She found things to
like in Hiram by looking hard for
them, but she proposed to keep him
well in hand.
“Well, Lucindv,” said Hiram one
evening two or three days before
the wedding, “here we are going to
be married, after all, both of us. I
guess, Lucindv, I’m about vour first
offer, ain’t 1 ?”
“You are,” said Lucinda firmly,
“and I’m your last offer, Hiram, and
going to be if my health holds out,
so we won’t make any more talk
over that.”
A fiood Naval Name.
When Commodore Rodgers, XT. S.
N., was in charge of a recruiting
station after the close of the war
he received an application. “What
is your name?” asked the commo
dore gruffly. Don Emilio de San- Ao
co Razamru, was the reply.

appeared and in a soft foreign voice

Just Missed It.
An elderly woman who had dur
ing the course of a somewhat event
ful life buried four husbands en
countered at the gates of the ceme
tery where they reposed an old but
timid lover she had not seen for
years. She took him inside and
showed him, not without a feeling
of pride, the well kept tombstones
of her former lords and masters.
“Ah, James,” she remarked feeling
ly, “you might have been lying there
today if you had only had a little
more courage!”—London tribune.
Drew’s Boarders Differed.
Under the old proprietorship of L. at S.
Drew the American House
Burlington was] one of the most
popular hotels jin Vermont, and it
was the scene ofi many a humorous
episode. One niafct after supper Mr.
Drew was vveler®ing whjKu a new arrival
in the ofliec cuBrc n extremely cor
pulent guest out of the dining
room. Point,iu| to the fat man,
Mr. Drew said :rYou can see how
well we feed our guests. Just look
at that roan.” ilt chanced that u
permanent resident of the hotel
overheard the remark. This man
was extremely thin-just the oppo
site of the guest referred to by
Mr. Drew. The thin hoarder at
once spoke liasJfllij^rc up, .saving: “Yes,
