great eulogy upon President Garfield,
delivered in the hall of the House of
Representatives at Washington, March
/, 1889, has already taken its proper
place in American literature. The Arthur

slowly to undo the work of its predeces-

adopted, and the necessity of a spirited
foreign policy, which only means pol

1t was fitting that the popular move
ment of the year to elect Mr.. Blaine
president should begin in Pennsylvania.
That movement has made James G..
Blaine the Republican candidate for
president. He left public life voluntarily
and, like Washington, never seemed to
entertain a wish to re-enter it. At the
call of the people he will emerge from his
retirement to assume the burdens of pub
lie duties in a still more responsible po-
sition-in the presidential Office, which
is the greatest honor that can be confer

Rifles For Parlor Practice.

"Parlor rifles are sought for now-a-
days. " said the manager of sports
mans goods store, land there are many
patterns to choose FROM
GLOW many find ready sale?"
Maybe dozen. The most popular
parlor rifle is a light piece with an
octagonal barrel, having a bore meas
uring 22-l00ths of an inch in diameter.
1t can shoot either small ball cap or
very small powder cartridge used in
pistols. The ball cap consists of a little
copper shell, one-quarter of an inch
long, which has in it little illuminate of
mercury, and driven in at the open end
is B shot. The discharge of the ball
caps are noiseless, which makes the
rifle particularly good for house 'prac-
tice, and there is no smoke. The rifles
have extractors for throwing out the
exploded shells. They were first made
IN France, but the demand for them has
so increased that several American
firms have started in to make them
Strange as it may seem, not one parlor
rifle in fifty has the makers name ON it. -
Are these American rifles as good as
those of foreign make?"
They are much better"
"Do the illuminate or noiseless car
tridges carry with any effect?n
Yes, indeed. have killed cat at
one hundred feet distance with one shot.
These rifles are famous for killing cats
Many persons buy them for that pur-
pose only. All you have to do is. to
poke out the barrel through the crack of
window shutter, get your aim and
pull the trigger. If you take good
enough aim you kill your cat quietly,
and if the cat chances to be in a neigh
boris yard, you are also saved the
trouble and expense of burial"
What do these rifles cost?"
Anywhere from five dollars up.
For SIX and seven dollars you can buy
as good rifle as anybody ought to care
for. They have vanished walnut
stocks and blued barrels. The sights
are excellent. The ball caps, or fulmi-
nate cartridges, as they are sometimes
called, cost sixty cents for box of two
hundred and fifty. The ball caps, /
think, were first made in Germany, but
those of American manufacture are now
| the best in the world"
What are the other kinds of parlor
rifes?"
"One lately invented shoots a small
shot, which is introduced in the barrel
near the stock end. A common percus-
sion cap fits on nipple opening into
the barrel, and the explosion of the cap
| drives the shot. The force is not very
great. There are any number of all
guns. some Of which shoot little bullets
and some shoot darts. Air rifles are
not very accurate, and it is hard to give
the missile force enough to prevent ii
dropping, if the target is at a distance
Some of them are very expensive.
| How about parior pistols?''
They are made, but there is not the
sale for them that there is for the rifles
| They cost from two dollars up. YOU
see, it is much harder to shoot wei
with pistol than it is with a rifle, anc
as rule people like to do what they
can best do'-N Y Sun.

The world little imagines how largely
it is indebted to the laborious researches
of scientific medical men for many of
the most important truths relative TO
human health, happiness and life. AS
population increases and the value of
food is enhanced the knowledge which
chemistry has elected is becoming more
and more valuable in q practicable
point of view.
Some kinds of food are more nutri-
tious than others, and if it should be
found that articles which are cheapest
have the most nutriment and give the
highest ability to labor, then knowledge
becomes money to the poor. Tables
vary, but some of the general results
| are as follows: One pound of rice,
| prepared for the table, gives eighty
eight per cent, of nutriment, and, con-
sequently, a relatively proportional
ability to labor, compared with other
| articles of food A pound of beef, cost
ing fifteen cents, gives only twenty-five
per cent of nutriment, Yet countless
