A GIRL WHO CAV SHOOT.

Miss Lillian +. Smith, who STYLES her
self he CalItornia Girl Champion Rife
Shot Of the World" gave a remarkably
Interesting exhibition Of her wonderful
skill and unerring precision with the
rifle, Saturday evening. Around the
wooden figure Of a deer, suspended in
mid air, number of glass balls were at
tached by wires. Miss Lillian, with a
seven pound Ballard rifle, carving a %
calibre cartridge, broke ball after ball, at
a distance Of 33 feet with uniallng ann.
firing both from the right and left shout
der, shooting with the rifle held upside
down and backward over the shoulder
sighting with a hand mirror. These
shots she repeated with the sights OBJ
Scured by a card on the muzzie of the
rifle. Que of her most remarkable feats
was the breaking OF a glass ball revolving
on wire cord Ill a horizontal circle with
a radius OF about ak feet. This feat she
also performed shooting backward, using
a hand mirror TO sight with. Ten glass
balls were sprung from a trap, with only
four foot rise, and every one was broken
before they reached the floor Twenty
balls were attached to the deer, which
was caused to swing, and everyone was
broken inside OF a minute without a miss.
Two small balls, no larger than hazle-
nut, shared the same fate, and Il nickel
five cent piece, behind a card, was perto-
rated in the center. After the pro-
gramme had been completed, Crittenden
Robinson, the well known wing shot,
had acquired such confidence in the accu-
racy OF the aim of the young lady-who
is really only child of IA years of age
that he volunteered to hold the ace of
clubs, which he took from pack OF
cards, in his hand, while she endeavored
to perforate it and she justified his conf
dence by putting ball through the
center of the ace spot.-San francisco

WEN OF GIGANTIC STATURE.
London standard

LouuOn STANDARD
1t was once a much debated question
whether the average human stature had
been diminishing or increasing. The
pralSers OF past ,nen and times had no
difficulty in imagining that in the ear
her pealods every man was six feet up
wards and every woman five feet ten.
and till science came with its measuring
apparatus they had the best Of the argu
ment. There is little dispute now on thu
subject, chiefly because statistics, coats
OF armor and teats of strength have Fl
nally settled that, with the giant excep.
tion, men of all places, eporhs and breeds
have kept very much at the same level.
The HOttentots and the LaplanderS
have been always dwartish, and the Cau-
casian, through the whole gamut of histo-
ry, has been handsome and stately That
giants are exceptional in a very peculiar
sense Is shown by the fact that they grow
as often among people not distinguished
tor more than average stature a among
the taller nations.
A Scotch professor once fell on the plan
OF measuring all his students and noting
their natiOnaities, SO that he might get
some idea az to which OF the peoples were
the tallest. He found that Americans,
especially those from the west, were first
in this odd competition, Irishmen next, the
Scotch next, and the English shortest Of
these four people. But it would have
been no surprise to him if more men of
really gigantic size could be found in En-
gland than anywhere else, because no rule
Of average seems to exist for such pro-
ducts. Geology has rather refused to al
low that there were times when giants
formed the rule and not the exception

An Arizona sporting man was recent

duced to try his hand at the wheel of
fortune. In half an hour he had all the
money in the bank and mortgage on

them back the mortgage, and in the
future the church will choose its victims

as one we'll observes, are the support of
the government and the church, and all
the associations aud organizations that
give blessing and vitality to social exis-

cavates, in some piece of wood, a series
of chambers, in special order with
view to peculiar mode of exit for her
young; but the young mother can have
no conscious knowledge of the series
of actions subsequently to ensue. The
female of the wasp, sphex, affords an
other well-known, but very remarkable,
example of a complex instinct closely
related to that already mentioned in
the case of the polecat. The female
wasp has to provide fresh, living ami

it quits its egg, quits it in the form OF

PREHISTORIC DOGS.

Tho snec,mens Which Have Como Down t.
Us from the Stone and Bronze Periods.
In the Danish ''kitchen-middens," OF
heaps of household refuse, piled up by
the men of the Newer Stone period-a
time when our Scandinavian fore
fathers used Clipped or polished flints
instead of metal for their rweapons-are
found bone-cuttings belonging to some
species of the genus CAMS. Along
with these remains are some OF the
lone bones of birds, all the other bones
of the said birds being absent. Now
it is known that the bird bones here
found are the very ones which dogs
can not devour, while the absent ones
are such as they can bolt with ease,
and it has been ingeniously argued
from this that the remains in question
did really belong to a domestic dog
as. if the animals to which they apper-
tanned had been wolves, they would
have made short work OF the long
bones as we'll as of the others. Other
doo-bones are found in Denmark m
later periods. At the time when the
E a large dog existed, and at the time !1,
