A skilful man can send the arrow one hundred and fifty yards, though it requires some experience to eause the arrow to leave the string without tangling. Once the knack is mequired the sport is said to be more fasâ€" cinating than putting the shot or throwâ€" ing the hammer. There is a movement on foot to have the sport made one of the features of the college games, since both skill and strength are required. (Houston, Tex..

Beyer‘s investigation of the influence of bicycling on the heart has convinced him that the bicycle has a specially inâ€" jurious action on that organ. The heart in the young is particularly subject to this deleterious influence on account of the unfavorable conditions of the blood pressure in youth. Hypertrophy of the beart and nervous heart disturbances are the typical bicyclers‘ affections. It has been found in CGermany that the mumber of case of acute articular rheuâ€" matism among the recruits has materialâ€" ly diminished of late years, while the i number of heart affections has tripled. j In one army corps, out of 233 recrujts' with varoius heart affections, 41 had Aween bicyclers, as also 9 of the 18 paâ€" stients with hypertrophy of the heart. amd 8 out of the 37 patients with nerâ€" *Â¥ous irregularity of the heart action. JIn another corps the proportion was 375 per cent. in 203 case of heart affecâ€" tions, with 23 out of the 52 cases of hyâ€" ' pertrophy and 9 out of the 22 of nervous arregularity. He found furthor that among these recruits those who had preâ€" viously led a sedentary lite formed the largest contingent of heart affections f among bicyclers. On Sundays and holiâ€" | days they took long bicycle trips, with overâ€"exertion of the heart. Next in numâ€" |â€" ber were the workmen who rode the |â€" bicycle to and from work.

Once by profession a doctor and a speâ€" cialist in skin diseases, M. Clemenceau, as a statesman, has been accused of deâ€" molishing rather than crvating. He has certainly helped to demolish German inâ€" trigue in Paris. And one could perhaps scarcely count the number of opponents he has endeavored to demolish on the field of honor. On one such occasion, M. Clemenceau, then on the wise side of 50, crossed swords with another public man who was both young and active. Sword in hand, it is related that he purâ€" sued his opponent to the end of the field, a distance of about half a mile, but then, tired of running after his nimble foe any more, Clemenceau shouldered his sword like a walking stick and stepped back to the point of departure to await the adversary‘s returnâ€""an unpreceâ€" dented performance," remarks the chronâ€" I Three times women have played a conâ€" spicuous part in his affairs.

It was a court ball, and a very Grand Duke ofâ€" fered a distinguished arm to a charming lady, who replied tht she had already promised to go to the buffet with Prince von Radolin. "Truly these Gerâ€" mans are tyrannical gentlemen," said the Grand Duke. Somebody reported it to the Prince, and changed the adâ€" jective to "disagreeable," and he felt aggrieved. A personal complaint to the wife of the Grand Duke seems to have annoyed every one concerned, particularâ€" ly the (irand Dughess, who declared that she was insulteg. and what was in the first instance merely a joking remark resulted in there being a vacancy in the German Embassy on the Neva.
