DIRECTION TO SPoRTsMEN. = Gun
powder should be carried in a flask, or
if loose in the pocket should not be mix
ed with matches. AS rule, no sports
man ought to smoke. Before blowing
down one barrel of a gun, it is advisable
to see whether the other is loaded. To
ascertain this, look inside and let off a
cap with your tee. The practice of dry
ing powder over the fire in frying pan
should be discouraged. Many accidents
have resulted from it. Always shut the
eyes before firing. Never carry load
ed gun at full cock horizontally, when
friend is walking before you, unless
you are sure of the thickness of his COL
duroys. If a bird should raise between
two sportsmen in direct line, both
ought not to fire at once. If crack
should be observed in your barrel, tie it
firmly round with bit of string, for
fear of accidents.-Diogenes

PAYING TO SUPPORT ANOTHER MANS
WIFE.-A novel and strange case of al
imony has just been decided at Louis
vile, Ky. A man named Ferguson sep
arated from his wife, and she sued for
alimony. A settlement was made, he
agreeing to pay $500 year during her
life. Subsequently the parties were d.
vorced, and neither party was restricted
from marrying again-the husband re-
lying upon the religious faith of his wife
Iahe being Catholic) to prevent her
Fl rom taking another husbnnd. She did
marry, however, and Mr.. Ferguson
tAereupon stopped the supplies. He
didn't relish the idea of feeding and
clPthing another mans wife, without de-
irving some little benefit from the out
lay. A suit was brought to compel the
pd dyment Of the $500 per annum, and it
was decided in favor of the wife.

My Lost Friend.

Even while he was counting l kept
my hold on him. Against opposition on
the part of his bride and her family, he
stipulated bravely that | should be his
best man on his wedding day. The
beautiful woman grudged me my one
small corner in his heart even at that
time but he was true to me-he per-
sisted-and / was the first to shake
hands with him when he was married

lose him from that moment. | only dis
covered the truth when | went to pay
my first visit to the bride and bride
groom at their abode in the country. l
found beautiful house, exquisitely kept
from top to bottom; | found a hearty
welcome; l found good dinner and an
airy bedroom; | found pattern hus-
band and pattern wife-the only thing
l did not find was my old friend. Some
thing stood up in clothes, shook hands
with me, pressed wine on me, called me
by my Christian name, and inquired
what 1 was doing in my profession. 1t
was certainly something that had trick
of looking very much like my former
comrade and brother-something that
nobody in my situation could have COM
planned of with the smallest reason
something with all the brightness of the
old metal about it, but without the ster-
ling old ring; something, in short, which
made me take my chamber candle stick
early on the first night of my arrival,
and say good night, while the beautiful
woman and pattern wife was present
with her eye on me. Can | ever forget
the language of that eye on that occa-
sion ? the volume it spoke in one glance
of cruel triumph No more sacred Sc
crets between you two,' it said brightly

You may sacrifice yourself for your love

truest friend, but he has another now
and need trouble you no longer, except
in the capacity of witness of his happi-
ness. This, you will observe, is the or
der of nature, and the recognized fitness

A GOLDEN WEDDING-One of those
rare events, the celebration of the ffti-
eth anniversary of wedding day, both
parties surviving, occurred in Salem,
Massachusetts,, recently. The venera-
BILE deacon Nathaniel rockingham, and
his wife commemorated their golden
wedding then, having been married Oct.
A, 1906. Deacon F. was widower and
his wife widow when they were uni
ted, and both had children. They have
five sons and four daughters surviving,
four of them living in New York, and
all excepting an invalid daughter) were

were also invited. Deacon Frothing-
ham is now 81 years of age, and his
wife 10, and his health is so vigorous
that he is almost every day seen in our

MILD GUNPowDER.-Many pleasant
ane cdotes are told by Mr.. G.. who a
goo many years ago, was a retail mer-
cha ht in populous town in Vermont
He was famous as "the very pink of
politeness," and was indeed an excel
lent salesman. If he had not got the
artic Gle that might happen to be called
He'd for, he was sure to name some
thing that was sufficiently like to answer
the purpose. Thus, when a customer
inquired for "winter-strained OIL" the
merchant told him he hadn't got that
kin exactly, but he had some that was
"stf aimed very late in the fall !'' Dis
parhge one article as you might, he was
sure to find something to praise in it. If
his tea was not strong, it was well fla
vored, &c. &c. On one occasion, Gus
toner having called for sample of gun
powder, rubbed it in his hand to ascer.
tain the proportion of charcoal, and then
observed that it lacked strength. II

The Bitter BIT.-We clip the fol-
lowing from one of the Marysville pa
pers, credited to the Sacramento Bee );
and, although a good story, we cannot
vouch for its authenticity. The article
relates to lawyer of San Francisco who
brought divorce suit at the solicita-
ton of wife, The husband led an IL
reproachable life, so that but little head
way could be made in the case. The
lady was anxious for she had lover in
the person of the legal friend, who was
eager to transfer her to himself. The
husband was sordid, and the wife inge-
nious, and thus the matter was finally
disposed of:
The wife suggested to her would be
lover, that as she could not prove any
thing against her husband, it might be
as well to entrap him by some trick, and
thereby manufacture evidence. To set
tie the matter as speedily as possible,
the lawyer applied to the husband, and,
knowing his cupidity, offered him $4,000
if he would withdraw his objections to
the divorce, or give him proof of his in
fidelity. The latter plan was adopted
as the most expedient, and consenting
to be watched by two persons, he visit
ed disreputable place of resort, fur
nished evidence of his guilt, and at the
same hour received his $4,000 The
divorce suit was then referred to an at
torney to report to the court the facts
in the case, upon which it is pretty well
believed decree would be entered, but
suddenly the wealthy lawyer discover
ed that his lady-love was non est, and
upon making the necessary inquiries,
the following facts were revealed to his
astonished vision:
The husband and wife had eonspired
to diddle him out of $4,000 cash, and a.
bout $1,000 injewelry, had made up all
seeming difficulties, and taken passage
on the mail steamer for New York, leay-
ing him as the butt of their extreme
practical joke. Who says he was not

OBEDIENCE IN CHILDREN-It is un-

and wickedness in after life, to be early
taught absolute obedience; there must
be no hesitating or asking why, but

done. The young twig bends easily,
but remember that in after years it be-
comes hard, and you will break before
bending it. A little steadiness at first,
