Hints for Amateur SpOrtsmen.

An excellent treatment for a bullet
wound is to wash the wound clean and
cover with clean muslin saturated with
a solution of carbolic acid or alcohol.
The great object is to keep the wound
clean and protected from the air, Do
not foolishly probe for the bullet. 1t
can be better extracted after the heal
ing Of the wound.
To extract fish hooks from your flesh
or clothing cut the leader free and
push the hook on through, depressing
the upper end so as to bring the point
out as near as possible to where it went
in. Don't try to pull the hook back
over the barb.
Thirst can be abated by the eating
of acid fruits or plants. The chewing
of twigs, banks or leaves Of trees and
shrubs will also afford temporary re-
lief. Snow and ice aggravate the
thirst by chilling and closing the sa-
livary glands.
Learn to shoot without closing your
eyes when you pull the trigger. Be
ginners will find it hard to do this, but
it must be done.
In sighting either shotgun or rife
the left eye should be closed, except in
the case of left-handed persons; then
the right eye should be closed. Some
men keep both eyes open, but the ma
iority of shooters and all the crack
shots close the left eye.
An extra pair of socks are handy on
3 one-day out trip. Then, with your
shoes nicely dried at my lady hosts fire
YOU will be in comfort for the next
morning On your way home.
Avoid sleeping in close rooms. Keep
the apartment we'll ventilated. Let in
fresh air, but keep out the draught.
When out shooting carry small
square of shamois skin saturated with
pure oil. Then you are prepared to
well-grease your gun in case of rain

left on the end OF the tail to show the

Dead Dogs Made Useful.

Even the unlicensed dogs which the
city dog catchers gather in every year
and slaughter are put to mercantile uses.
The dogs are taken from their prison

few minutes. The dcfunct animals are
then cartcd over to Cambridge. where
there is q mandatory in which the skins
are taken off and prepared for furrlers,

The Cooks Revenge.

A very curious case has just been de-
sided in Frankfort police court. Il
appears that cook, no longer quite
young, was courted by a tailor some
what younger than she. On Sundays,
and occasionally during the week, the
gallant lover was in the habit CT taking
his Lady for extended promenades and
visits to restaurants, where the latter
always paid the expense: She also pro-
vided him regularly with his supper.
Presently, however, the awful truth
was brought home to the cook that she
was not the only friend" on whom the
man of scissors and the needle lavished
his affections. Nothing loath, she went
to the nearest police court, suing the
faithless one for the expenses of all the
clandestine meals provided By her, and
all the money spent when walking
out" with him.-Berji1a letter.

tint of creamy pink imaginable was diff
ferent in each one. The wonderful
pink color was the same in them all,
and in this was the chief beauty OF the
work. Many admirers of pretty things
ceramic asked Mrs. Cleveland where
the dainty bits of china came from, and
she always laughingly told them
that was her secret. Where they
did come from was dingy brio -a-brac
shop on F street, down in a basement
that Mrs. Cleveland stumbled on by ac-
cident while shopping and went into
out of courtesy. And these wonderful
cups and saucerS cost but forty cents
apiece. But they were really beauties,
and Mrs. Cleveland was so taken with
them that she bought dozens to give to
her friends. Their dainty beauty OF
color made them priced as artistic bles
of ware, as we'll as for Mrs. Cleyeland'S
sake. The shop where these cups were
sold has since been given up. and the
old man who kept it has gone away or
died. The ware was the product OF
new American pottery that had not
had time to make name for itself, and
that could not place its wares in more
pretentious shops, where they would
sell nothing but genuine SeyreS or

Victor of England is concerned. In
deed, the finding of wife for that UNI
interesting person is said to be worrying
the grandma queen good deal. 1t is
believed that Princess Victoria of Teck
will finally be decided upon; she is too
pretty and too clever to be yoked to so
doughty fellow as the heir-apparent

ranged, they say. that i'll due time he
shall marry Princess Mary, heir to the
throne of Holland. At present she is
only fifteen years of age, out her neig h-

fourteen years old. Russian girls are
