Remnre of Thinning Accidentally


cunning season is now in full blast aud we
may expect TO hear Of the usual number Of &C
cidents caused by the careless handling OF
fire arms. The skilled sportsman never risks
his own life or that of others by holding or
carrying his gun in such position as to en-
danger any one by its discharge. He APP
pr,ciaies the dangerous character Of his wea-
pom, and is, therefore, careful in handling it.
ow that breeeh-loading arms art so generally
used there is no excuse for keeping them
loaucd; whether loaded or not the muzzle
should at all times he kept away from the body
II is just as easy to acquire caution in hand
ling guns as to get other habits that place
one III constant danger OF being sef-woHnded
and perhaps killed Scarcely a season ever
passes without It's attendant fatal accident.

How to Cook Sausage. Sausage and
hot cakes of cold winter mornings are CRATE
fully appreciated by the average man, but it
has always been source oftroubIe and annoy
nnce to the gnod housewife The scattering
of the fat ovet the stove, the fumes of the
grease and the smoke permesung the house
makes it a disagreeeble job for the cook. A
careful cook who has made experiments recon-
msnds putting the sasuage in a baking pan
and cooking them in the oven, In this way all
dsagreeable smoke and odor are avoided. A
pound of sausage will cook brown in ten min
utes. He also says that good way to cook
ssussges is to split them in two leugthwise,
place them between double wire broiler and
broil on the dat side first then turn and broil
Oh the other.
