No rice has been or Is TO be thrown sc
the Newport weddings Some one has
discovered that way back Ia the middle
sgeA among the savages, it was the Gus
tom TO throw things upon the wedding
couples - they were departing. II was
tho bride who usually received the great
est share Of these attentions, and tho
most successful weddings were those In
which she bride was % shewsred by sticks
and stones and sharp missiles Of all kinds
that she sank exhausted upon the ground
IN her effort to escape them, and 20 was
taken captive By the pursuing BRIDE
groom Later, in these same benighted
times, rice was thrown, and the custom
has como down In much mildsr form to
us at the present day.
II was decided, a. soon - this became
known, that IL was net tho proper thing
to thus cherish relic Of harhArism, and
20 rice throwing has fallen into desuetude.
To make wedding little moro inter
esting than the perfectly sober ceremony
warrants, and also to carry out the frolio-
soms idea which wildly psrvades every
one at . wedding ceremonial. the more
playful spirits are letting their fancy run
riot by upholstsring tho bridal trunks in
white satin, and sending them upon their
way ssunheknownst" to tho owners who
find out the little game when tho trunks
arc brought In the bridal apartment at tho
6rst stopping place.

Money in Sheep.

After all there is money in sheep for
the Eastern farmer as well as for the
Western. In the Southwestern dis
tricts, and in Australia, the value o
land is so low that the cost of produc
ing wool is much lower than in locali-
ties where land is higher. Land that
is worth few dollars an acre can
naturally produce wool at a much
lower rate than that which costs from
S25 to 800 per acre; but the rate Of
transportation from the former lands
is always more than double that from
the latter to the principal markets OF
the world. So much difference is
made in this that farmers on expen
sive land can raise wool III direct com
petition with those owning great
ranges in the Southwest.
But money can be made by the farm
ers on the expensive lands from sheep
in other ways besides wool They are
so near the markets that good mutton
and earlylambs can be prepared for the
high prices which rule at certain sea-
sons. Advantage can be taken of
every advance in the price, and in
this way big profits may be realized
This is beyond the power OF the shep'
herds of Australia or of the South
west, and they must trust to the wool
to bring in the profits. For time it
was supposed that the increased value
of the land in certain sections of the
West would drive the sheep raising
industry to the remote districts. But
such not been the result. With a
proper selection of good mutton
breeds OF sheep, as we'll as wool pro-
ducing ones the farmers near the
large cities can make sheep raising as
profitable as ever. The advance in
the population has not killed the in
dustry in those localities, but only
changed the conditions. A little
adaptation will make the work as
profitable as in olden times.

What is Dynamite ?

This explosive, OF which we hear so
much, looks very much like moist
brown sugar.
1t is made of nitro glycerine, a
heavy, oily liquid which explodes with
great violence, mixed with an absorb
ent to make it safer to handle. Nitro
glycerine is composed Of nitric acid,
sulphuric acid, and that clear, sweet,
soothing liquid called glycerine. The
absorbent material is a fine, white
powder, composed of the remains of
infusoria. This takes up two or three
times its weight Of the nitro-glycerine
without becoming pasty; the ingre-
dients are mixed in leaden vessels
with wooden spoons to avoid friction.
If fire is applied to this mass, it burns
with a strong flame without any ex-
plosion; but the application of full
sudden blow causes it to explode with
tremendous force.

Empty or loaded, never point gun

When a-field, carry your gun at the

When riding from one shooting

have your gun in any conveyance, re-
move the cartridges, if a breech loader.

sometimes leaves little illuminate on

More care is necessary in the use Of
a gun in a boat than elsewhere, the
limited space, confined action and un-
certain motion making it dangerous
at the best. If possible no more than
two persons should occupy a boat
Hammerless guns are a constant
danger to persons boating.
Always clean your guns thoroughly
as soon as you return from day
sport, no matter how tired you feel.
The consequence Of its always being
