At the interstate rifle-match at Creed
moor on Monday the New Orleans team had
two Chinese kites flying at height OF about
one hundred feet from the ground, by
which they estimated the force and direc-
ton of the wind. They were in the form
OF large birds, having wings and tails, ana
resembled at distance large hen-haWks.
One of them was anchored on the left, and
about fifty yards from the team, while the
other was fastened by a line to stake dl-
rectly opposite them. between the firing
point and the target.

got position on one OF the Phlladelpnla

py ?" mildly returned the Harvard man.
"No! Boil it down." Numbered the city

Hahnemann, the homeopathic doctor,
once cured one of his patients by merely
putting a flask under his nose and telling
him to smell it. Amonth afterward be sent

was rather hard up, being very badly PAID
bv his patients, he received his visitor with
the greatest pleasure, expecting TO get MS
fee. "My dear DOCTOR" said the patient,
"l'n pay you with the same readiness as
you have cured me. Here Is hundrea-
