Pistol Practice Extraordinary.


For almost forty years past the United
States has had the honor Of possessing
the Champion pistol shot of the world.
one invincible man, who in all that time
has been victorious in every one of the
scores of matches In which he has been
pItted against the crack shots Of every
civilized nation. The name of that man
Is familiar to every One-it is Capt. John
Travis. His wonderful feats with his
f~syOrite weapon, the pistol, have never
been equalled by any other man, and to
recount them would be to write q history
of his life, for very little Of his life
seems 70 have been lived out of rance Of
a target The events most familiar to
public remembrance, however, have
been his great match against the famous
Capt. Paul, at st, Louis, in which shoot
ing "of hand" while Paul used rests, and
a pistol loaded with lead SO as to be al
most as heavy as a howitzer, be beat his
antagonist by W four inches, string
measure, IN twenty shots; bis match with
Suydam, in New York, shooting ''at the
word, when he struck the target forty
times in succession, firing before the
word one, or, in other words. within one
second after being allowed to raise his
pistol his shooting the orange from a
mans head near New Orleans his put
ting a ball through a hat held by Blon-
din, when the latter was walking the
rope across Niagara, while he was In the
little Maid Of the Mist steamer. far be-
low; last, but not least his great match
Of pistol against shotgun, at Sharon.
Pennsylvania, in which he shot seven
birds out Of ten, from the trap. on q
windy day, with the pistol. These are
but specimen leaves from the book of
his experience, and to-day, at the age Of
flty-three years, he stands ready to re-
peat any and all of them. He offers to
shoot backward against any other mans
forward, to match a shot gun, to, in
short, do almost anything which seems
quite impossible to be done with a pistol. !

THE manufacture of Manila cigars is
conducted By females under system diff
fering materially from that employed in
the United States. The tobacco passes
through a dozen hands. After the filling
and wrappers are assorted, one set Of
girls select the filling and arrange it in
proper order, another set trim the wrap
pers, a third roll the wrapper about the
filling, while a fourth stand By with their
fingers in a pot containing paste or mu-
eilage Manufactured from a plant that
grows in luxurianee on the island. At
the proper time the paster, with a dex-
ferrous wipe, applies the gummy substance
TO the edge of the leaf, and the operator,
by a peculiar twist of the wrist, brings
the edge down upon the cigar, and casts
it into a basket upon the opposite side of
the table. There are eight m~anufacto-
ries in Manila, employing twenty-five
thousand women and girls, whose wages
average seven cents per day.
