scendlng the Hatcher Hill road last even

the team plunged headlong over the rocky
cliff south of Judge Wilson's place. The

went crashing down over the preciplce. One
of the horses was killed and the other badly

stunned, but not seriously hurt.

There is All ingenious Comstocker

room at the Palace Hotel for $3.50 a

card he piles the empty bottles around

that he has just been indulging in an
expensive revel. If the visitor makes

A Ycxed Question Answered.

"What shall dotoget rid of all this
flesh?" is the question that has been
asked again and again of physicians
without receiving an intelligent reply.
Several Of our popular lecturers and
writers have attempted to answer it, but
the force Of their dispositions can be
summed up in single sentence: Be
content you are not lean, and starve
yourself,-a course Of treatment that
will never cure obesity, as thousands
who have tried it can attest. Pharma-
ceutical science has given a rational
answer to this question in Allan's Anti
Fat, which will reduce the system from
two to five pounds per week. 1t IS

He says
81 am willing to acknowledge that
what do may be improved upon, and
give as my honest opinion that in a few
short years my shooting, considered SO
wonderful at present, will be child's
play as compared with the skill which
future generations will achieve. Some
people call me wizard and others
trick shooter, while others assert that
am peculiarly gifted; but the fact is the
shooting do has come from years of
hard and constant labor. The hardest
life a man can possibly lead is hunting
upon the plains Twenty-seven years
Of steady western life, dependent solely
upon my own exertions, has taught me
what really know Of rifle shooting.
Was not that life Of all things practical,
and in nature should it not produce
practical rcsults2 have hunted for
the market many years, learning moth
ing Of trickcry or deception by my call
ing, and what / am about to say in be-
half Of my shooting know from expe-
ricncc 70 be true. Why. my style Of
shooting is the very first principle and
really the foundation of practical rifle
shooting. All men who wish to become
perfect in the use Of either rifle or shot
gun should commence by shooting at
flying objects. 1t is very easy to hit IN
object thrown into and moving in The
air, provided you point your gun ut it.
This may seem foolish remark, and
provocative Of laughter by its simpici-
ty, yet that is all that can be said, and
is the secret of hitting anything with
either rifle Or shotgun, but more partic-
ularly with the rifle. In shooting at
moving objects with II rifle man soon
learns to take deliberate aim, and to
understand perfectly well that ifhe does
not he will surely miss. This style of
shooting makes man handle Il gun
with the rapidity Of lightning, and in
short timc--or i few years-he docs it
with such ease MS to make many call it
trick shooting or 'sleight Of hand
when III reality ii is nothing but de-
gree of perfection resulting from prac-
tice. Many think | do not take aim
In fact, this has puzzled many theorists,
and has been point of considerable
discussion. Those who think ] do not
take aim are mistaken. Should | not
take aim ! never would hit an object.
Let any one pratlce my style of shoot
ing with rifle for short time, with
even moderate success, and then take
up n shot gun, and for the first time in
his life he will discover how easy it is to
hit anything with u scatter gun, and, by
virtue of the nicely with which he must
draw his bead with il rifle, what perfect
control he has OF his shot gun; then on
the other hand, how easy it is for hlm
to hit moving object with rifle Ill
distance. There is no question
but that my style of shooting will rcvol-
the whole shooting world, and
II scatter gun will ultimately disappear
from the arena us u real test Of skill,
only TO be used for hunting, and in the
field for market.

How il Sedentary Life Affects Women.

The Popular Science Monthly remarks
that many of the ills and diseases pre-
valent among women i'll our day are
no doubt traceable to the sedentary
mode Of life so common among them.
The progress of the industrial art has
done away with much Of the household
drudgery to which women were former
~ subjected, and the result is i'll too
many cases want Of sufficient occupa-
ton for needed bodily exercise. 1t says:

Owing to the failure of Congress to make
an appropriation for the purpose the trip of
the Florence to the Arctic regions is, so far
as the main objects in view are concerned,
utterly fruitless. Captain Tyson, the ac-
complished commander of the little vessel,
tells elsewhere the story of the voyage, and
the letter we print from him may be
considered as the official report of the
expedition. 1t will be seen that the difficult
ties in the way were not few, but they were
all overcome by the skill and determination
of Captain Tyson and his officers, and if
they had been supported as they expected
the Howgate plan of solving the polar mys-
terry would now be pretty well advanced.
As it is, the work Of the Florence will nearly
all have to be gone over again, and of course
nothing can be done If Congress withholds
its assistance. In a scientific point of view
the expedition has met with some success.
Messrs Kumlin and Sherman seem to have
made excellent use of their time and oppor-
tunity, but the sum of their researches and
discoveries cannot yet be accurately esti-
mated. Captain .Tyson's letter is exceed
ingly interesting, and it is really pity that
so much time and effort should have been
expended almost in vain.

With o proper system of boiler inspec-
ton and capable engineers such so-called
accidents" as that of the Adelphi could
not happen, because if o boiler is strong
enough to pass proper inspection, and If
the engineer is fit to manage it and is not
careless, an explosion would seem to be
impossible. The Adelphi's boiler was duly
inspected by the government inspector,
John w. Blake, 80 late as the 25th of June,
and he officially certified that it was in good
order and safe. The owner of the vessel
says that the engineer was careful and ex-
perienced man, who had been long in his
service Nevertheless the boiler exploded,
and now we hear it said that the system of
government inspection is not calculated to
boilers.
The jury which inquiries into the causes
of the explosion has an extremely impor-
tant duty to perform and we trust the
officers having the inquiry in charge will
see that it is thorough. We are glad to see
that the proper authorities in Washington
mean to look into the case. 1t is time they
should do so. There have been recently
quite number of boiler explosions; and
we suspect that the inspections have been
less frequent than safety demands. AS the
government makes boiler inspection i'm per-
alive, and by its own inspectors. it may
Justly be held to large responsibility by
the public, which depends for its safety
upon the carefulness and skill of the in
spectors. What the public now wants to
know and ought to insist on knowing is by
whose carelesness or lack of skill and
knowledge so many passengers of the
Adelphi met their death.

II Il n Put UP Job.

A rumor was current in the city yesterday
that an arrangement had been made by
which Courtney was to lose and Hanlan to
win in the coming contest at Lachine. We
have taken the trouble to investigate this
report and it will be seen by our dispatches
that Courtney himself and the representa-
tive of Hanlan emphatically deny that
there is any truth in it. A curious fact in
connection with the affair is that q
similar report is current in Mon
treal in regard to Hanlan. We are
glad to have the denials Of the two
men, and trust that they have been, as they
assert, unjustly accused. 1t is unfortunate
for Courtney that circumstances in his row.
ing record have needed great deal of ex-
PLANTATION, and he cannot complain if even
his friends are scared at rumors. The
only way out OF the position in which he
has thus been placed is to win in the con-
test lie has repeatedly professed his
ability to do so, and the public will expect
him to make good his words. If he is
beaten he must be able to show that it was
through no fault Of his own and to furnish
the most indisputable proofs that he did
oil in his power to vanouish his opponent

THE WEATHER.-The storm centre is still
Sver the western lakes and the Northern Mis-
Souri and Mississippi Valley districts, having
made hardly any eastward progress since Sun
day. The pressure has fallen very rapidly at
the centre of the depression and is now exceed
ingly low. The gradients are steep in some of
the districts on the eastern margin Of the de-
preston, and the winds are very high. 1t is
very probable, however, that they will become
sleeper when the low area reaches the Middle
Atlantic States, account of the of high
barometer being over those districts. The press
ure continues low over the Gulf districts, and
Is gradually falling in the Western sections.
Very little rain seems to attend the Western
depression. Ii has fallen over the northwest
ern lake regions and the Rocky Mountain dis
tricts. general fall has also attended the
depression that Is over the Gulf districts. 1t is
very probable that the precipitation will in
crease when the depression passes over tho
lake regions. The winds have been from brisk
to high in the northern lake regions and the
Northwest, brisk over the Gulf coasts and light
to fresh elsewhere. The temperature has risen
ia all the districts except the extreme North
west The weather in New York aud its vicin-
ity to-day will be warm and fair, followed by in
crcnsing winds and coudness Tomorrow it
