SMOKELESS POWDER.
The Evident Advantage That There Is

The Evident Advantage That There Is in
the New Explosive.
The most evident advantage of the new
powder lies in the small amount Of smoke
created. which allows of better aim. and
consequently better shooting. A
further advantage is in the better leading
of the firing troops. the clearer observation
of the individual, and of the effect of fire.
Unless required for other reasons, the alb
sence of smoke also allows of the pauses,
formerly considered Indispensable during
the period Of rapid fire, being omitted. On
the enemy's side it prevents his recognizing
at once the exact situation of the defense
position to be attacked. In conclusion the
battlefield is rendered far more open to
observation. These advantages may be
claimed equally by the troops employed In
the attack and in the defense. Opposed to
them there are certain disadvantages to be
recognized. The uncertainty of the aim
determining the enemy's posftion) will be
greater than formerly, which will detract
from the advantage claimed for clearer
observation. The difficulties of command
will be enhanced by this circumstance;
they demand higher technical ability and

this month, q retreat to heavy cover.
1t has been noticed frequently that alter a
few days bombardment the bevles scatter
and retire from the open ground to SAFER
quarters, where the footprints OF spHtsmen
are seldom found.
AS rule there is a great rush to the
country of sportsmen from the city ana
country towns during the first week of the
open season.
IL should be borne in mind, however, that
at this season of the year great precautions
should be taken against fires, and II Is
hoped that landowners on whose property
hunters trespass will cause the arrest OF
every man found in possession OF muzzle-
loading shotgun.
Those who carry muzzle-l0sderS use soft
paper for wads, which, on being fired from
a gun, Will ignite any dry and intiammable
substance il comes in contact Win. Last
season several fields of dry drass were nred'
by the paper suffers, ana the result was
that farmers in general prohibited shooting
on their property at all months OF the year.
The many grounds which are now posted
with signs prohibiting hunting have always
been open to sportSmen, but oil late years
bands Of pot-hunters and hoodlums have
made a practice OF trespaSsing on the
ranchers property for the purpose OF nav.
Ing "a good time" as they called IL, but
which good time consisted in shooting
indiscriminately at everything movable
and breaking down fences.
1t is no wonder that notices bearing Inc
words mo shooting allowed on these
grounds" are now common almost every
where The farmer must protect his own,
and to do so he is compelled to deny sports
men the pleasure of shooting. Among the
landowners of the adjoining counties there
are farmers who would not refuse sports
men the privilege of shooting on their
estates, provided the men who desire little
quiet recreation would first ask perm issiOn
to shoot.
1t is safe TO say that any man who enters
upon the property of another with gun and
dogwithOut first having secured permission
is in the full sense of the term pot-hunter
and destroyer Of Sportsmen's interests.
Letters have been received at this otticefrom
several landowners who desire HE GALL
to state that under no circumstances Will
they allow any one TO snOot on their grounds
until after the first heavy rains.
Among the writer's are: MesSrs Pacheco,
Miller aud De Long, whose estates are in
Marin County, within easy reach OF San
Rafael. These gentlemen have employed

POETIC THOUGHTS.
Written for THE SUNDAY CALL
MY DREAM.

Dedicated to Miss Fannie Lincoln.
a5rS dreamed that she entered the gates
4 or that beautiful city.
a And sang but one song; the angels did pause
TIL she finished,
And then with the crown OF the victor
Eucirced her head,
And bore her away TO the Master, for He
Is music and nature and genius
These three. Then He placed In her hand
The banner Of triumph,
And gave her the seat where for ages untold
The gifted have sat,
And then. as the weary OF earth did appear,
He would bid her to sing.
Then they all stood as dumb as martyrs Of old
and as still as the grave.
Lol when she had flushed. far over the Kills
And oceans and leas
OF Gods paradise there echoed a choir
or innunerabIe voices.
The harmony ceased, the messengers flew
To the uttermost parts
Gf The city and tod how an angel fallen TO earth
Had returned
And sang so that fountains and torrents and birds
Stopped to listen.
And God with his infinite goodness OF old
Had crowned her the queen
OF all those who sing
awoke. Now know that all those who sing
Were angels in heaven
Who've fallen 10 earth. and all that they bring
As sign of their birth
Is the &c d-Siven talent to sing.

MY NE1GHBoR ACROSS THE WAY.

That is the house just over there,
With the porch so Wide and low;
And that is the very window where
! saw him, year ago.
We never speak, but watch that place
Till the shade VS. come to stay,
And darkness hides the handsome face
or my neIghbor across the way.
Once, when noticed the blinds were down,
feared he had moved elsewhere,
But learned that his people were out of town.
In search OF the country air.
Perhaps was foolish to miss him so,
But he cheers my lonely day.
And should hate sadly to have him GO
My neighbor across the way.
And once grieved like mate forlorn.
When my dear friend was Ill.
Until beheld, one happy morn,
His face at the window-sIl.
The summer hours seemed not half so long,
And the world again looked gay;
The very birds sang welcoming song
To my neishbor across the way
So smile at him and he smiles time,
And he throws me kiss now aud then,
And naught for the passers-by care we,
Though we live In the hauuts OF men.
Oh, no. don't think him the least bit bold
Or forward, strange to say;
But then he is only three years old
My neighbor across the way.

Strong when dimpled seas Knocked age and threw

Dreaming youth mesmeric spells of sound,
Denying action and her labors drearily.

The sinking sun, with gold lights crowned,
Transmit Its fire, then delays deep wound

Sung life's song till the moving race
