Remarkable improvements in Firearms
We should remember that our Reming-
ton and Springfield guns are as obsolete as
q fintlock Brown Bess. Possibly no more
men will be killed, in proportion TO num-
bers engaged. with Lebel rifles than were
with Brown Bosses, but it will be done diff
fersn.ly. In the camps in the Sioux coun-
try was talking to the best shot in the
United States army, and we saw q horse
man far away. He was a speck- / asked
him if he could bit him. He replied, Il
could kill him if he would not run until /
got his range, and if / waited until he came
within known range, could be sure Of
him" 1t was perfectly startling.
Twas once riding with little troop Of
cavalry, and the officer and were talking
about shooting. To elucidate an idea be
turned ard suddenly dismounted three
men, telling them to fire ave rounds apiece
at black object across the canyon, and to
do it quickly. The men dropped on the
ground and poured fifteen shots into the
rock or stump. whatever it was, at an I'M
known distance, and they hit il over aud
over again think it was about 200 yards,
and we could see the bullets strike in the
sand.
The frightful possibilities of modern

A Human PiccolO.

Only coal cart driver, but how he can
whistlel No one would suspect that there
was music in the soul of such man, but
there is, and it IS real music too. He is a
daily attraction TO residents of that section
of Brooklyn known as The Hill" Seated
or standing in his dust coated cart, almost
as black as the vehicle itself, he is scarcely
noticed, but when he begins to whistle peo-
pie living in the streets through which he
passes hurry to their windows to catch a
glimpse of him and hear the melody he
produces.
Pat, the only name by which he is
known, is perfect human piccolo. AL
though formidable in fairness and perhaps
frowsy in appearance, yet he has the power
to charm. At times the notes are loud,
clear, piercing. resonant; at others they
are soft and touching in tone. 1t all, of
course, depends upon the nature of the
tune Pat is playing-for it is playing. Pat
makes the music with the thumb and fore
finger of his left hand. Just how he does
it is not certain, but Pat is skillful per
former, all the same.
Varied is his repertoire too. Sometimes
he will give bit of Offenbach or Wagner
with cunning precision, only the next min
ute to rattle off Annie Rooney" Babies
on Our Block" or ''Old Grimes Is Dead, "
the latter, of course, to the intense delight
of the less classic of his auditors. Occa.
sionally Pat appears to be in a sentimental
mood, and then he will whistle with rare
effect The Warrior Bold, The Heart
Bowed Down" On the Field of Battle,
Mother" and other equally touching songs
that millions of people still love and sing.
Pat is a musical prodigy.-New York

The AURORA soREALls.

In the gloomy, polar circle
In the unexplored sea
There exists sparkling island
Yet ungoverned by decree.
Now to fabricate the island
The bold Ice King did contrive
To obtain the great assistance
OF the frost imps' busy hive,
And he set them to composing
With artistic fancy bold;
Beaming, crystal bright, foundation.
Which should sparkle, light untold.
Then seized he glittering star beams.
And arranged their beauty light,
Where with icy cold they glisten,
And Undue with day the night
There they beam and fash and glimmer,
And throughout the ambient air,
Sweet-exhale humid beauty,
Irridescent, debonair,
The reflection flashed toward heaven,
And swift streaming DER its vault,
Are reflected back at angles,
And in Austral chimes they halt;
So Aurora Borealis,"
That delights and pleases man,
Is the Ice Kings fancy island
And the frost sprite's gleeful plan.
