Hunting Hints.

Never draw gun toward you by
the barrels.
Empty or loaded, never point gun
toward yourself or any other person.
When afeld carry your gun at the
halfcock. If in cover let your hand
shield the hammers from whipping
tWigs.
Always clean your gun thoroughly
as soon as you return from a days
sport, no matter how tired you feel.
the consequences of it always being
ready for service is ample return for
the few minutes irksome labor.
More care is necessary in the use of
a gun in a boat than elsewhere: the
limited space, confined action and I'M
certain motion make 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.
When riding from one shooting
ground to another, or wherever you
have your gun in any conveyance,
remove the cartridges if a breech-
loader, it being so easy to replace
them. If muzzle loader remove the
caps, brush off the nipples and place
Il wad on nipples, letting down the
hammer on wads-simplv removing
caps sometimes leaves a little fulmi-
nate on the nipple, and blow on the
hammer when down discharges it.

The other night Henry D. Wilson
of Philadelphia went over to Camden,
N. j., and was maMed by Rev. Mr..
Burrell to Miss Minnie Farrell. Then
he went before Rev Mr.. Finlaw, I'M
der the name of Arthur Williams,
and was united in the holy bonds of
matrimonE to Laura Joice. On tho
following night, under the name Of
Edward Martin, he became the hus-
band of Mary Lewis, Rev Mr. Van
Horn performing the ceremony An
hour later, as Charles Mullen, he took
unto himself as bride Sarah Price
before Rev. Mr.. Morrell, and later in
the evening he became Samuel Mat
thews and was married to Margaret
Reed by Mr. Sooy. This quiDtuple
record in the role of a bridegroom
would have gotten him into trouble
had it not happened that the brides
in the case were all one and the same
person, like himself adopting aliases.
1t appears, likewise, that the bride
groom was a reporter ofthe Philadel-
phia Press, sent over to write up the
loose marriage ceremony in vogue in
New Jersey, where the clergymen
marry any body and every body who
comes along for the usual fees.

casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and a great many OF
them would bring you 90,
70 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring a
poor price. 1t will cost you

on which to send me your ad
dress, to secure full printed

method of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very

came injured, so the weapon was re-
turned to Mr.. McElwaine, who cut it

for a shotgun. The relic is to bepur-

American Pork.

Thursday Secretary Rusk received
official information that Germany
has removed its prohibition to Amer
lean pork and that the German mar
kets are now open for the free sale OF
that important product. The decree
goes even farther, and removes many
of the restrictions which have Operat-
ed against the sale of American cattle
and beef. 1t also reduces to an i'm
portant extent the duties now levied
on American cereals. The opening OF
this great market is a signal victory
Tor the administration. In 1880 Ger
many adopted veXatious restrictions
upon American pork products and
three years laterissued q degree which
amounted to prohibition of their inn
portation. The Cleveland admins
tration labored i'll vain to secure "a
change, and the matter was left for
the Harrison administration to wres-
tie with
The victory for American pork is
very largely due to Hon. William W
Phelps, the American minister at Ber-
lin, who has been interchangeable in his
efforts to secure the removal of I'M
Just restrictions upon our products.
The president and secretary of state
have been unremitting in their efforts
and they have been ably assisted by
Secretary Rusk. Provision was made
for close inspection of meat exports,
and every excuse for prolonging the
prohibition was removed. The Ger
man government confronted by the
probability of a reimposition of the
duty on German beet sugar, and see
ing that France. through the efforts
of Minister Reid, was about to accept
American pork freely, decided that
the only wise course was to comply
with the reasonable request of the
United States. The decree will be OF
great benefit to the United States,
and at the same time it will give the
Germans much-needed cheap and
wholesome food. So both countries
are to becongratulated on the action
