How to Handle a Gun.

There are few boys who do not anticipate
with pleasure the time when they are per
mitted to carry gun and ''go hunting"
Now guns are dangerous affairs in the
hands OF those who do not understand how
to carry and how to use them A writer
In Forest and Stream gives these rules for
the guidance of boys in handling guns:
Flrst-Empty or loaded, never point a
gun toward yourself or any other person.
Second-When afield, carry your gun at
The half cock. II in cover, let your hand
shield the hammers from whipping twigs
Third-When riding from one shooting
ground to another, or whenever you have
your gun in any conveyance, remove the
cartridges II a breechloader, it being so easy
20 replace them. If muzzle loader, re-
move the cans. brush off the nipples and
place a wad on the nipple, letting down
che hammers OH wads Simply removing
caps sometimes leaves a little illuminate
on the nipple and blow OH the hammer
when down discharges it.
Fourth-Never draw a gun toward you
by the barrel
Fifth-More care Is necessary in the use
Of gun in boat than elsewhere-the
limited space, confined action and uncer
tain motion making it dangerous at the
best. Ii possible no more than two persons
should occupy boat. Hammerless. guns
are a constant danger to persons boating.
Sixth-Always clean your gun thorough

no matter how tired you feel; the con-
sequence of its always being ready for
service is ample return for the few minutes

ALWAYS Serve Good Food.

The human body requires just SC
many particles each day to keep up
strength and health and replace
waste.
If the number of these particles is
1000, and 600 of them are furnished
at home, the other 400 must come
from somewhere or there will be a
collapse.
When one has plenty of rich,
wholesome food one does not crave
stimulants.
You cannot deceive the omach,
and while custard without eggs may
be a triumph of culinary skill and
yellow coloring, the stomach will
take off its coat and wrestle in it's
shirt sleeves with the man who so
basely deceives it.
Coffee is a powerful stimulant, and
while all stimulants are more or less
hurtful, coffee is the least so of any.
And by coffee mean strong infu-
sion of the best Mocha and Java, and
by cream, the top part of cows milk

MACAULAY WITH CHILDREN.
His FOndness for the Young and His

His FOndness for the Young and His
Manner of Entertaining Them.
Macaulay's fondness for children con
tinued all through his life, from the early
days when he played hide and seek and
capped verses with his sisters, to the later
times when he would entertain party of
children at his chambers in the Albany
and send half sovereigns to his nephew nj
Eton cunningly concealed under the huge
wax seal of the letter What a house that
must have been in Great Ormond street

caulay was master of the revels, and games
of hide and seek, the blowing of horns and
shouting went on for hours in every part OF
the house Like Sydney Smith. he could
tell them stories ut will But these he
preferred to give in verse, ascribing all TO
1.-THE Judicious Poet" Fresh perhaps
from working at one of the reviews which
We're then making him famous, he could
still pour out for the amusement of the
younger ones humorous rhymes
In later life he would often delight some
very young member of the family by a let
ter or story in rhyme, all the words being
carefully written in capital letters. One of
these was about the fate of two boys who
talked in church. when
The beadle got god big stick,
Thicker than uncle's thumb;
Oh. what fright those boys were in
To see the beadle cOmel
And they were turned out of the church.
And they were soundly beat,
And then those wicked naughty boys
Went bawIing down the street.
Nor were verses all. He had number
of complete dramas of the deepest interest
all of which he was ready to perform at n
moment y notice for the amusement of his
nephews and nieces. II these failed then
he would fall back on the expedient Of
building up with newspapers Il darksome
den behind the sofa and enacting therein

Indeed, Macaulay was never happier than
when playing with children, and he great
ly missed this relaxation when they grew

MR.. REED IN ALBANY.
TAlhany EXDreSS.1

Thomas B. Reeds reception in Albany
ON Saturday was one of the most i'm
pressive ever accorded political leader
in this town. The thousands who turned
out to hear the great speaker were we'll
rewarded. They listened to speech
which bristled with telling points. They
heard the Democratic record recited in a
manner which should appeal to the in
telligence of every patriotic citizen who
heard Mr.. Reeds voice, or who reads the
words which he then uttered.
ALBANY Journal
There was an enormous outpouring of
Republicans Saturday night to listen to
the Hon. Thomas B. Reeds speech. The
great hall was packed to the doors, and
all who could find standing room re-
manned to hear the conclusion of the adj
dress. The audience was one of the
most enthusiastic that has ever gathered
to hear political speaker in Albany.
Every point in the speech was appreci-
ated and applauded. The presence of a
large number of women in the hall was
an encouraging sign. Though they can
not themselves vote, it is apparent that
they are taking an interest in the issues
of the campaign, and that their influence
will be exerted, as is natural, on the side
of Republicanism. The speech itself
was simple and telling appeal to COM
mon sense. 1t is printed in full On an
other page, and will repay careful read
ing, even by those who heard it. The

The Hon. Wayne McVeagh acknowl-
edges that his attack ON Minister Eagan,
in which he characterized that gentle
man as a swindler, was made on the
strength of some newspaper paragraphs.
He does not claim to have made any per-
sonal investigation of the matter, or to
be in possession of any evidence, except
the newspaper attacks, to support his
assertion. This is not very creditable
admission. Before a man publicly ae-
cuses another of crime he either ought
himself to make an examination of
the evidence to sustain the charge or he
ought to have the verdict of some judi
cial tribunal which has examined that
evidence. Many newspapers are rcck-
less and in the heat of partisan strife
make charges very loosely. When ema-
mating from such source and under
such circumstances they do comparative
ly little harm, because the public makes
liberal discount. But when they are
taken up by man of high personal
standing like Mr.. MacVeagh, and reiter-
ated by him without qualification and
without giving the source of his infor-
nation, they assume far more serious
aspect. Mr.. MacVeagh must be aware
of that, and therefore his defense of his
assault on Mr.. Egan falls far short of
being sufficient.

When the Democrats say that protec-
ton is unconstitutional and that it is
robbery, all they mean is that they do
not approve of the application of the
protection theory made in the Mckinley
bill. When they say that they want the
tax on State banks repealed-the tax
that was imposed for the purpose of
driving these institutions out of exist
ence-all they mean is that some substi-
tute has got to be found for the national
bank system. To understand what a

emily to examine what he says.
