your bow by careful scraping you must bear 
this point in mind. Also, as soon as you get 
the bow to bend evenly and in the string, if 
necessary to reduce it, scrape from both sides 
evenly in order to preserve the balance. Do not 
scrape to the size yon want finally, but leave 
some wood to be removed by sand paper. It 
is surprising how a bow may be reduced in 
weight by finishing with sand paper. 
The size of the finished bow will depend 
upon the wood selected, and will range from 
an inch to an inch and a quarter in diameter 
next to the handle to half to three-quarters of 
an inch at the ends. The larger measurements 
for the softer woods and the smaller for the 
dense hardwoods. At the back of the handle 
glue on a piece of white pine the size of the 
handle inch thick and round its edges and 
ends. Cover the handle with velvet or plush, 
glued on, or follow Barnes’ lead and wind on 
strips of split leather. It makes an excellent 
handle. The bow should be finished with three 
coats of rubbing varnish, well rubbed between 
each coat. 
If you have selected a soft wood for your 
bow, it should be protected on the left side 
just above the handle by having let into it a 
piece of mother of pearl, bone or ivory to take 
the wear of the arrow. This is called the arrow 
plate. The bow we have described is known as 
a self bow. The making of backed and grafted 
bows is another story. 
Idaho License Ready. 
Fish and game licenses have been issued by 
State Game Warden Barber, of Idaho, and have 
been placed in cities and towns that they can 
easily be secured. In order to fish, sportsmen 
must have a license. The last season’s licenses 
expired April i of the present year, and the 
new licenses are good for a year. 
The Loafer. 
V'ou kin always tell a loafer, if there’s loafin’ in the crew; 
You kin always tell a loafer ’cause he has so much to do; 
When the men are in the maintop he is fussin’ with a jib; 
On the drive he’s always lookin’ fer a chance away to 
snib; 
In the woods the smallest timber is the timber he will 
find. 
In the yard the twelve-by-twenty is the kind he leaves 
behind. 
He will fuss an’ he will fiddle huntin’ up the softest snap; 
Life is one eternal treadmill fer the take-it-easy chap. 
Yet is takes a lot of trouble skippin’ labor day by day; 
Fer a fellah has to figger how to dodge it all the way. 
On the drive er in the timber, in the mill er in the yard, 
You kin always tell a loafer ’cause he works so bloomin’ 
hard.

Arctic Dogs in Switzerland. 
An attempt is being made in Switzerland to 
make use of Arctic dogs as beasts of burden. 
The value of such animals was proved by Capt. 
Amundsen in his dash to the south pole. There 
seems to be no reason Arctic dogs cannot be 
made use of in Switzerland in much the same 
way as on the barren wastes of the Antarctic. 
Four dogs were recently brought to 
Switzerland and they will be used to draw sleds 
on the Jungfrau and the Eiger glacier. The 
dogs are being trained by making them carry 
letters and packages from Wengen to the Eiger 
glacier and the first experiments have been very 
successful. The only difficulty seems to be the 
high altitude to which the animals are not ac¬ 
customed. 
During the summer the dogs will have their 
home higli up on the neck of the Jungfrau.
