Why John Brown is Popular with the
ff 0ueen.

John Brown, the trusted servant of
the Queen, is said to owe his popularity
to the fact that the majority of Eng
lish servants, from the palace to the
plain residence in England, are great
sticklers about their proper duties.
The butler would see the kitchen on
FIRE and the cook the pantry flooded be-
fore interfering in saving the property
of their employer, simply because it was
not in their department.. John Brown
is above such narrow prejudices. If
Her Majesty has to go anywhere, have
anything done from a cup of tea to the
packing of a trunk, from the selection
of a horse to the purchasing of a book,
John Brown is always on hand, ready.
able and willing to bound over all tie
barriers Of red tape and formal depart
ments, and get and do these things, or
see that they are done promptly and
properly. In this readiness and untir-
ing attendance, he has ingratiated him
self with the good Queen, who fully
values his honest energy and integrity,
and who has thus made him her favorite
gillie. He knows his place and keeps
it. He earns his pay and pockets it.

UNPARALLELED RIFLE SHOOTING.
Best Workmanship on Record-Ralph Rig
by Performs Some Feats.

Nothing but my uncomfortable mod
esty has kept my reputation for marks
manslip out of print. 1 had a slight
fame rs an eclipse observer, but as that
was dimmed somewhat by that Sun
ambassador; l will let it pass. But 1
won't pull in my horns as a marksman.
Too long have l quietly stood by and
heard praise OF the international rife
teams, Capt. Bogardus, DIR. Carver and
Adam Goldie, and now l propose sound
ing nay horn.
The rifle used is an ordinary A cali
bre. Thursday ! gave a private exhib-
ition near Lake Minnehaha.
First feat consisted of hitting a small
vial while grating overhead. l shot
once and the vial came down perforat-
| ed in three places without breaking. Il
Next was to extract the cork of a
champagne bottle. 1t was placed in a
horizontal position at a distance of a
hundred yards, with the cork pointed
at me. One shot, and my astonished
friends observed the bottle stand
straight up, and the cork shot cut, not
in. ~ q
However, THIS was a tame affair, for
/ threw up a base ball covered with
sheet iron. Then shooting rapidly i
kept the ball going up and down for ten
minutes, without once touching
ground. "
Long range feats were next in order.
A backing box lid was stuck on a post
at n distance of !, 200 yards. / had five
shots. Upon examination there were
just eight bullet holes in that lid.
A wager was laid that l couldn't hit
a visiting card at 1000 yards in twenty
trials. 1%peppcred away, and the tar
get showed a nioely shaped 20 cut in
the card by the bullets.
As an exhibition of fancy shooting a
friend threw up a piece of brick. Be
fore 1t fell TO the ground | had shot Oft
all the corners until it was round as n
base ball.
Another trick, and one which re-
quired considerable nerve: A friend
stood ut 100 yards distance and shot
square Mt me. Firing Mt about the same
instant my bullet struck the other n
half way, and both dropped to the
ground. On inspection we found the
bullets embedded in each other. This
feat l don't care TO repeat too often, rs
II requires a steady hand to shoot ut me.
A feat which is kin to the foregoing
Is To shoot into the barrel of an empty
gun held at a distance of 500 yards.
The person holding the gun aims direct
ly Mt me as IL he were going to fire.
My browning shot, however, was to
kill two dogs with one bullet. 1t is nc
complished by a popularity Of loading.
The dogs were placed one on each side
of a stable. / aimed at the first, and
he dropped, of course. The bullet flew
around the stable and struck the other
purp right in the mouth as he was gap
ing.
Next l hit the target without loading
the'gun and-but why go on? Seems
to me that l have already demonstrated
a good capacity for lying, and won't be
outdone by any of the c~hroniclers of re-
cent rifle feats.

per cooking of fish and vegetables, the
making of soups, cakes and pastry,
and sick-room cooking. The girls were
left to themselves and had to draw
upon their recollection Of the lessons
they had received. When the result of
their labors were placed upon the table
for inspection the work proved, natur-
ally enough, to he very unequal in
point of merit. Altogether, however,
it was worthy of high praise, and what
ever there was in the way of failure
was in a very large degree attributed to

Love. Making in Portugal.

The mode of making love in Portu.
gal is very simple-but it lacks energy
and the true inwardness of the Ameri-
can article. The Portugal young man
pays his addresses by simply standing
in front of the house occupied by the
OBJECT OF his affection, while the yourg
lady looks down approvingly from an
upper window, and that's all there Is of
1t. 1t Is a great saving of the old
mans gas and fuel, but on a cold night
the young man is liable to have his ears
frozen, unless he carries a stove in his
coat-tail pocket. These silent court
ships, we are told, sometimes continue
for very long periods before the lover
can ask the important question or the
lady return the final answer. There is
big room for improvement in the
matter of Portugal love-making.
