Indeed, by far the greatest part of them had; their origin in the remote past. Virgil in the ?&eaeid".'tella of four archers : who were ; shooting for a prize, the mark being a pigeon tied by a corcUto the mast of a ship. The first man bit the mast, the sec ond cut the cord and the third shot the pigeon as it flew away. .Tho fourth archer, having nothing Jeft at which to shoot, drew his bow and sent his arrow flying toward "the sky with such speed that the fric tion of the air set the feathers on fire and it swept on like a meteor, to disappear in the sky. . : That'B a how and arrow story to test the strongest credulity. - The stories -of Robin Hood's archery, illustrated by his wonder ful performance . at Locksley . in Scott's "Ivanhoe," are also a decid ed strain on one s power of belief. The famous legend of William Tell is believed by some authorities to have a foundation in fact. There was a Dane named Foke of whom the same story was told, and Wil liam of Cloudsleyt an Englishman, is said to have snot an apple from his son's' head merely to show his skill. . The majority of the. bow and ar row stories relate to the accurate aim of the archers, hut a French man,, Blaise de Yigenere, tells one in which the main poinfnTthe tre mendous force with which an arrow may be propelled if the bow is strong and long enough. Accord ing to his own account of the mat ter, he saw Barbarossa, a Turk, ad miral of a ship called the Grand Solyman, send an arrow from his bow clean through a camion balL Whether the cannon ball had a hole in it or not he neglects to inform us. Perhaps the most astounding of all stories about' arrow shooting is that of the Indians who used to in habit Florida. It is said that a group of them would form a circle; one would throw an ear of Indian corn into the air; the rest would shoot at it and shell it of every grain before "it fell to'the ground. Sometimes thev arrows would strike the ear of corn so hard end fast that it would remain suspended in the air for several minutes, and the cob never fell until the last grain had been shot away.

" -"Glad, we ain't Italian children," observed Jack. - "Of course the. Italian children have their Christmas," daddy went on. "If they dont have a Santa Clans they have the JJefana. They think that the Befana-is much better than a Santa Clans.' : - ?r ' . "Well, daddy; what is the Befana?" asked Evelyn. -' fThe Befana," daddy went on. "is an old lady who comes to every Italian house where there are little ones. In Italy- the holiday celebration covers a couple of weeks, and the Befana. comes on the eve of Epiphanyor Jan. 6. The children are then gathered together by their parents and they stand in a cow before the Befana, 'who asks them how they have behaved In the past year. For the youngsters who have been good she has praise and nice gifts. For the little ones who have been naughty she has a scolding or a switch." , ' "I guess we dont care for the Befana to come here," Jack hastened to say, somewhat anxiously. - - "Better reform before Christmas then, Jack," advised daddy, with a twin kle In his eye. "Yon know while Santa Clans doesn't switch bad boys he has a way of overlooking their stockings. - "TheItallans say that the Befana Is an old, old woman, a wonderfully smart housewife who lived in the time of Jesus and the apostles. Her iiouse In Jerusalem was always spotless, for she bustled up and down from dawn until dark scrubbing and scouring and dusting. ; "The story goes that Jesus passed her bouse on his way to Calvary. Hot and tired, with tha weight of the cross, he stopped to rest for a moment on her spotless doorstep. J3he looked out and, seeing the Mattered, dusty and bleeding man in charge of the officers of the law resting on her clean door stone, she told him to-moveon. '- " . "lifting his eyes to her, the man whom she had taken foe it common thief or lawbreaker, gave her a look of reproach. 'I go,' he said, Trot yon must stay until return.' v ' ""Filled with sorrow for what she bad done, she set to work to fill in with good deed the time that must pass before heshould come back. The Befana makes the little children her special charges and around the time of the Saviour's birthday tries to be kind and helpful to them. Italian children both love and fear her." -V!

'Westminster Gazette. Glaring Effrontery. Uncle Ahsolom Ashhy was much given to retail ing old and hack neyed jokes. An acquaintance of his, thinking to cure him of IKS' practice, one day gave him a Copy of "Joe Millers Jest Book,". with the remark that, he "might find some thing new in it." ; The next time he met the old gen tleman he asked him, "Well, uncle, what do you think of that book I gave you the other day V "I don't know who that 'ere Joe Miller is," indignantly -responded Uncle 'Ahsolem, "but I do know he's a thief. He's got hold of a lot of my best stories and printed 'em, consarn him!" ' How Railroad Man Opened Path ti v High Position by Quick Thought and Action at the Right - Moment. There was afi Interesting scene re cently in the office of the superinten dent ot a southern railroad. The su perintendent held '-the hand of a young man whom he had summoned to' his office and said: The other day you did the right thing at the right time, show ing presence ol mind and courage. This railroad needs men higher up, who possess these qualifications. Yon are now promoted to the grade of su pervisor, and tfiay assume, your' da ties at once." And the superintendent passed the young man an envelope containing directions regarding his fu ture duties. Behind this scene there is a story which explains it alL The young man having graduated from a school of en gineering, applied for. work with the railroad company. Not being able to .obtain such a position as he desired, he accepted work as a track hand. His knowledge and his skill soon made him a section foreman, and his work had frequently been praised by his superiors. . As he was attending to his ordinary duties one day, be no ticed a ireigbt train and a passenger approaching each other on the same track. Almost at the moment, he heard the shrill wUstles of the loco motives. Not hesitating a second he ran as fast as he could to a switch, opened it and .threw the passenger train onto the siding, Just averting collision. As he stood at the switch mental training and development,' to become alert, decisive, and cour ageous; whorls not able to acquire the habit of thinking straight and acting quick. It's all a matter of self-devel opment aided, of course, by the train- lng that you may receive in an insti tution of this kind." And better than any university is the school of experi ence which 1b open to every young man, a school whose lessons are never theoretical, but always practical. British Railroad Casualties.
