GUNS AND THEIR USE.
A TALK WITH BOYS.

copyright 1890, by the Author.1
The gun is, perhaps, the most fasci-
| mating thing to boys that can be thought
OF, and it is, therefore, necessary that
they should be instructed in its use.
There is comparatively little danger in
handling firearms if oarelessness is
avoided. Nearly all the accidents by
which boys have been hurt or killed
while using guns have been the result of
gross neglect of the simplest rules of
safety.
From the most ancient times the mas
terry OF missile weapons has been con-
sidered manly accomplishment and one
peculiarly indicative of superior manly
was, perhaps, simply stone which was
thrown by the hand from a rude sling.
Next after this came the spear or jave-
lin, cast as thew are now by the force of
the arm. Following the javelin we lind
the bow and arrows taking the place of
the clumsier weapons. The cross-bow
was modification of the longbow, and
next came the gun.
Firearms were invented in q crude
form some time in the Fourteenth centu-
~ but they did not come much into use
till the Spaniards invented the arque-
bus, early in the Sixteenth century
Even the arquebus, however, was not
able to entirely take the place of the
longbow. It was not until the invention
of the perfected fiintlook that the gun
became the one great engine of sport and
war.
Three kinds of weapons may be olassed
as hand guns-the rifle, the shotgun and
the pistol. It is rare indeed for boy to
need pistol, and I shall only say here
that it is the most dangerous and least
useful of all arms. It is so short that it
is hard to handle with perfect
safety, and it is not accurate enough for
use as sport weapon. My advice to
boys is to let it alone.
The rife is the long-range weapon OF
sport, and for large game it is the only
elective one Since the perfection of
the shotgun the old-time rife has been
less and less in demand for small game;
still for squirrel shooting, especially in
the South, it is in common use, and for
target practice it cannot be equelled.
All the best guns now made ara breech-
leaders. No other kind is worth buying.
I cannot here recommend any special
makers gun, but would say that Amer
leans make as good guns as the English
or anybody else.
The best rifle for. boys is a 32-calibre
breech-loader, which uses short metal
shells. Such gun, If OF good make,

little party was rescued, one and all, to
life and love, and such a welcome when
az last they were brought back to Verde,
where Pike was nursed back to strength
and health, where Nellie was caTessed as
heroine, and where little Ned was pet

sometimes because long timbers are not

owner declares that his father lived in q

enough for him. The last reason implies
something vigorous and admirable in the

were living in this progressive age aud

and throw them kiss as the long train
pulled out.
Sometimes his mother would take him
down to speak TO his father, and the little
fellow would go almost wild over the big
engine, and the glowing furnace, the
great bell changing hastY good-by, and
the shriil whistle, which more than once
he had been permitted to "puIl.
''Just naturally takes to the engine, !"
the fireman would often say, 'gets that

And Jack did seem to have a natural
love for locomotive.
Jerry Crane used to say of him:

coming-There 3 a shapbang of neighbor

in minute little yellow head top of a
big pile of wood, and when l sees it al
ways say to my wife: Mary, the cyars
are coming And she looks out, not at
the railroad track, but at the woodpile,
and says she, yes, they are coming

Sometimes neighbor would pass and
speak to him.
ANY news to-day, Jack?'
"Father's aboard to-day, sir, - he
would answer. or else, ''There's
bridge down between here and Cbatta-
nooga, sir, " or ''No. will be fifteen
minutes late to-day, sir. -
He always had something to tell and it
was mostly of the trains or the track,
engines or wrecks. Anything that con-
cerned the railroad was interesting to
Jack, for, aside from his admiration for
the locomotive, little Jack father went
up then down that long steel track just
once each way every day.
He had his fathers head the train
men said, but the neigh5ors declared he
had his mothers sunny, hopeful, help

BELLE HUNT

BELLE HUNT.
Oh, am tired and my heart is sick,
Ny feet are bruised, and the way is long;
Have mercy, Lord! grope through trials thick;
My poor voice faints, 1T cannot lift a song.
The way is long, the stones are hard and sharp;
They pierce my feet, and yet, must go on;
For when 1 turn with hungry heart and eyes
To the dear past, its mile-stones are all gone.
No brother pilgrims on this lonely way
Have met, overtaken, or have passed me by.
Surely, the only thing of life and breath
In all this way is desolate, am l?
And yet, one day the sun shone, and the land
Smiled as it stretched before my eager gaze,
And happy pilgrims beckoned from the heights
To me, along those gentle fowery ways.
Where are thy people, Lord, and where their
Or, where am I? Have gulde-posts false allured,
And am lost in wildernesses dark
Whose horrors mona but have thus enduredS
The past is dead the present is blank,
And on the futures twilit misty shore
see no signal to a harbor bank.
I stand like one out in the midst of space,
With naught beside, behind, nor yet before,
Who calls, and stretches out his empty hands
Hearing and touching nothing, evermorel
Not cen the footprint OF ghost is there,
No dim ideal OF the days agone;
Just space, and silence, and the great Ego
Appalling in its entity, alonel
Have mercy. Lord, if all things else are vain,
In pity send despair's last refuge, death.
What matter if there be, or not, the life
Beyond the veil OF this short space of breath.
'sTo be, or not to be- it little boots
When one is anguished with the life to day.
Oh, sweet the thought to still the aching heart,
And let tomorrow bring whate'er it may.
Oh am tired, and my heart is sick,
My feet are bruized, and the way is long.
Have mercy, Lord! The world will never know,
Nor feel the loss of this unfinished song,

IF HAD KNOWN.

If had known one year ago to-day
The little something that to-day know,
I would have warded off the heavy blow
That sent you on your sorrow- laden way,
With all your hopes laid low.
With saddest of all hunger sore accurst,
We miss by just step the healing streams;
Miss the true bread Of which the faint soul
dreams;
On hunger unappeased and unslacked thirst,
Too late the right path CLEANS.
What is so hard in all the bitter years,
As TO look back and see the closed gate
That one dear day we might have opened,

the two-story cottage the direction of the
roof ridge is changed to run parallel
with the greater width of plan. (The
large veranda makes an exception to this
rule in covering the Oue-stOry cottage. )
The first floor plan is altered by making
the hall one foot wider, by closing the
hall door to kitchen and opening q hail
door to pantry, and by building q hall
stairway, two feet eight inches wide, to
the second story. The stairway should
start on the dining room side of the hall,
one foot 10 the rear of the wide opening,
and by twelve risers reach a platform
over the pantry, thence by four risers
reach the hallway above.
The second story plan may practically
duplicate that of the first, but it is con-
sidered better to divide the space equally

Considered from an economic stand
point the building of one-story cottage
cannot be advised The foundations will
support another story and the roof will
cover it, practically without cost. To
phrase the matter after tbs delicious
fashion of Hibernia, the most profitable
part of the cottage is that which is not
built.
Hygienio considerations, always of
paramount Importance also condemn the
one-story cottage, because the sleeping
rooms must be near the ground. 1t is
very well established that the greater

the ground and that none of it rises
above thirty feet; therefore, it may be
said that the second story is safe place
for sleeping room, the third story
safer place, and the fourth and higher
stories the safest Of all. An eminent
