Ahohkby— Cincinnati, July 16.— Is there not danger that 

 our good friends " Awahsoose" and "Ahriman" will take too 

 much to heart those Archery papers in the magazines for 

 last month which created so much talk? The author, Mr. 

 Maurice Thompson, thinks he has "struck oil," as he an- 

 nounces that he has been overwhelmed with letters pertaining 

 to archery, and that in Scribncr for September he will have 

 another article giving some different phases of the ques- 

 tion. He has given out (and it appears little short of ridicu- 

 lous) that the Crawfordville, Ind., Archery Club (his club we 

 may say) is about to inaugurate a series of matches with a 

 prominent rifle club. The devotees of the bow and arrow here- 

 abouts have had two clubs in operation for a year past. So 

 lar as concerns the deadliness of this resuscitated weapon as 

 against furred and feathered game, I really think our friends 

 need give themselves not a particle of trouble 1 I think the 

 game will not be depleted very sensibly, and it may almost be 

 looked upon in the light of a move in the interest of qame 

 preservation. For a long, long while will it be ere these em- 

 bryo bowmen can speed a shaft truly enough to cause that 

 slaughter of the innocents to which Mr. Thompson pleads 

 guilty. 



In the main, however, that gentleman, aided not a little by 

 Charming woodcuts, has written very cleverly. He is at it 

 again I see, in a different vein, in 1 farper for August, on- Tan

—The July Atlantic has the first installment of a story by 

 B. Aldrich, entitled '• The Queen of Sheba," which promises to be one 

 of ins best. The summer piece of the magazine, is "Recreation and Soli- 

 tude," by W. J. Stiliman, a plea for the so ithing and strengthening In- 

 fluences of Mother Earth, "aa alma mater uncorrupted by civilization, 

 Her power and sweetness undiminished by human assoeiaiion or 

 human mending-the only complete refuge of man from labor." The 

 author writes with much good sense, and by his descriptions of a summer 

 retirement among the great forests of the Maine wilderness enforces 

 his plea in a way which should lure many a weary worker to prove Tor 

 himself the magic virtues of forest silence and solitude. Mr. Knight 

 contributes the third paper of his series on the '• Crude and Curious 

 Inventions at the Centennial." There is a well-drawn "Night Picture," 

 by Cranch. an amusing sketch of European trayet, entitled, "At the 

 Sign of the Savage," by Howelis, a paper on the "First Century of 

 Congress," by (iarlleld, and a story of early New Ungland life by Rose 

 Terry Co, ke. Edgar Fawcett has a poem on "Fire-lltes," and Lowell 

 contributes one on "Night-watches." The Contributors' Club and the 

 Literature and Music Reviews are full of interest. 



Postal Cakds.— The magazines and papers advocate the 

 use of sympathetic or "magic" inks in writing upon postal 

 cards. For the benefit of our readers we give some formulas 

 which answer this purpose. 



Red sympathetic ink is made by dissolving the nitrate of 

 cobalt ; it becomes pink on the application of heat, and d s. 

 appears on the absorption of moisture. 



Chloride of cobalt gives a pink solution which, when used 

 for writing, disappears when dry, but becomes of a brillant blue 

 ou the application of heat. 



Writing made with a saturated solution of corrosive subli- 

 mate is invisible ; but if brushed- slightly with a very weak 

 solution of Iodide of potassium, becomes of a deep scarlet. 

 To much iodide or too little gives no result.
