Long Distance Rifle Shooting.

There is an immense amount of nonsense
talked and written about long distance rifle
shooting, and the stories men tell about their
own or somebody else's wonderful accuracy
at long range may be set down as campaign
Inventions. In fact the same Importance is
not attached to long distance shooting as for
.aerly for it has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that it is comparatively useless except
where the distance has been carefully meas
ured and the gun properly gagged for 1t Ii
can be readily seen that this would be i'm
practicable either in shooting at game or in a
military engagement. To illustrate. the very
best long distance rife that is made has fall
of forty inches in 800 yards. Now, how
many men are there who can accurately cal
culate such long distance' And of what
use would the gun be In case the nlarksman's
Judgment erred fifty yards one way or the

the government to change the whole theory
and practice concerning the use of long range
guns. The Creedmoor system has been aban-

IERRAPIN, MARYLAND STYLE.
The Dish That Is at Present So Popular
with the EpicureS

Tho Dish That Is at Present So Popular
with the Epicures.
Although Maryland has the reputation for
serving terrapin, it is not always that enc,
even in Baltimore, can purchase plate of
real diamond back at hotels and restaurants.
In other states, it is next to an mpossibility to
purchase it prepared. The skilpots or sliders,
a terrapin found in ponds or in fresh water,
are fair substitute for the diamond back
terripan. They sell for from seven to ten
cents per pound. In Delaware sliders are
highly priced and by some epicures thought
to be equal to the salt water terrapin if
properly handled The slider offers an in
ducement to caterers to mislead.
In many cities outside of Baltimore, and
probably in Baltimore, an analysis of dish
of terrapin billed on the menu as ''Terrapin,
Maryland Style" discloses a hash, consisting
of the slider, veal and chicken thrown in for
bulk, with eggs manufactured for the pur-
pose and the whole favored with sherry
wine and spices. 1t is not surprising that
people who eat this dish for diamond back,
and at diamond back prices, go off wondering
why people rave about terrapins All great
persons who have enjoyed the diamond back
terrapin pronounce it the most delicious meat
on earth And those that have examined it
closely say that it is ahead Of anything in all
creation.
There has never been found in terrapin a
wen, tumor or lump, no matter how much he
has been mutilated. His wounds have no
corruption CT proud flesh in them. His blood
is always of healthy color. His heart, liver
end entrails are always found in healthy
state, except when he is penned up, and kept
away from the natural food. 1t is said by
old epicures that the terrapin is too good to be
mixed with anything else, because other arti-
Giles are inferior to it.
The true way to prepare terrapins is SIM
p1icity itself. The recipe said to be the best
is: Place terrapin in boiling water; take it
out as soon as dead; bake in all oven until
well done; take Off the bottom shell; take the
gall out of the liver; season with cayenne
pepper, salt and butter; serve in the shell
while hot In the early days Of Maryland
end Virginia full grown seven inch dia-
mond back terrapin could be bought for 1915
cents; forty years ago seven inch terrapins
sold for so cents each; thirty-fve years ago
they brought 81 each; thirty years ago, sl.50
each; twenty-five years ago, 81 each. Now
they bring from $3.50 to s. each. There is
very little loss in the terrapin, as everything
is eatable in it except the gall, claws and
head The shell itself weighs but little
