The annual shoot of the Fort drummer
Rifle club was held at the Vernon range
Saturday. II. c. French won both the
Hooker and the club medal. The day was
not favorable for good shooting, being
cloudy and rain falling much of the time.
On account of these conditions several
members of the club did not go to Vernon
to participate in the match as they had
planned. Mr.. French's score at the mid
range shooting was the highest ever made
in a match for the Hooker medal. French
and Sargent scored ~ each in the contest
for the club medal, but the latter led, ac-
cording to the rules.

A Bright Horse aud n Clever Dog.

Few telegraphers arc better known in
New York than George Mudgett, of the
postal office, and there are fewer still
who have IL better fund of stories. He
tells of certain horse who accompanies
a Scranton Pa.) lineman on his trips.
This horse can see n broken insulator
quicker than his rider, and always stops
when one is reached. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that the horse can telegraph
with his feet, but no one knows what
he "signs." The same ineman owns a
dog who can tell by the bell attached to
the district messenger register when a
certain firm rings a call. The dog at
once runs to the store, takes the message
in his mouth and delivers it safely at
the telegraph Office, George Mudgett
says he never invents yarns.-New York

Buddhism In Greece.

A legend of one of Buddha's earliest
pupils tells us that the young man used
to pass the whole rainy season in his
palace surrounded by dancing girls.
Once he saw bevy of them asleep in
unbecoming attitudes, and he woke up
and said, "This will never do" So he
Joined Buddha Now, life of heavy
heat, long rainy seasons and unceasing
dancing girls is very well calculated to
bring man to suicide or to Buddhism.
AS far as Buddhism means unselfish
kindness (and IL demands great deal of
that from true disciple), it is exactly
asgood as any other religion which makes
the same requirement.
But as far as it is pedantic, morbid,
puerile and superstitious, busy with
arithmetical strings of propositions, with
austerities, ending in self hypnotism,
with an ideal of universal suicide, il is
difficult to sec how the natives of q
temperate climate can acquiesce in the
developed doctrines of Buddhism. Had
Gotama come to Greece and preached at
the Olympic games it is unlikely that he
would have made n single convert

Rather an odd accident happened to a
young woman on Park row ON Friday.
She was handsomely dressed, wearing
for wrap one Of the now double decled,
balloon rugged capes of velvet, trimmed
with fur and lined with colored silk
She was about crossing Tire street when
two men seized her nnl began pulling
and patting the precious care with their
hands.
The woman was badly scared. turned
as white as sheet. and SIMPLY stood
helpless, gazing at the an,ics of the men
who were dancing about Ter. and who
she thought were highwaymcn trying &c
make off with her new winter wrap
Presently the men tipped their hats and
explained that the garment they had beer
treating seemingly so roughly had beer
ablaze. Sure enough. there was n big
ugly, black hole eaten out of the velvet
Of one of the front folds. Probably the
wearer in passing some smoker had
caught n spark from cigar or pipe. She
thanked the gallants who had come to hei
rescue and then went on her way, hiding
as best she could the damaged part Of the
garment II IL n question whether the
moral of this story is that men should
not smoke in the street or women should
not wear the new tangled cape.-New

At nm English Dinner Pnrsy.

pendicular lunch--plate of sardines and
a strawberry. and you group yourself

Here the religion of precedence is not
so strenuous. The two persons of highest
rank chuck up Il shilling; the one that
wins has first go at his strawberry and
the loser gets the shilling. The next two

After refreshment, tables were brought,

Referring TO the failure of the Great
Eastern, which at the time was attrib-
uted to her size, in comparison with the
success which now attends boats of
nearly the same dimensions. how plain

and in fact everybody possessing even
limited knowledge of the requirements
as to power in large steam vessels is the
main cause Of failure in the Great East

proportion to her great length and other
dimensions. The dimensions of Atlantic
liners are now approaching to nearly
the size of the Great Eastern. The
length of the Great Eastern was $50 feet
and her horsepower 1850. The new
Cunard liner Campania is SEQ feet long,
but her horsepower will be 10000. and

A Miser's Last wish.

A Greek died in the small town of
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims of his compatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear that she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat which
he wore every day. The poor woman
had to ask the Greeks of Caracal to help
her to provide the costs of the funeral.
A good hearted Greek went to see her in
her affliction, and pointing to the body
said he would give her better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him of
the dead mans last wish. The Greek,
whose suspicious We're awakened, told
her that she should certainly not part
with the body before she had we'll exam

particular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over

Hig Paw for Little Work,

The number of accidents which have
befallen the big steamship lines have
been surprisingly few. When mishaps
have occurred large sums have been
awarded for comparatively trivial serv.
ices, such as towing for day or two.

from New York to Hamburg, broke her
shaft off the Irish coast on Jan. 81, 1885,
and was towed into Queenstown harbor
by the tramp steamship Istrian, bound
from Boston to Liverpool. The Istrian
was awarded $23, ,250 salvage.
The passenger steamship City of Rich
mond, from Liverpool to New York. was
disabled at sea in November, 1882. She
was taken into Halifax harbor by the
tramp steamship Circassia, a service in
volving fifty-four hours of towing. The

Like Mothers Cooking.

An enterprising baker advertises
"mince pies like mother used to make"
There is something queer about the idea
that ones mother could cook better than
any other woman who ever lived. Each
generation of men, when they reach mid
die life, lauds mothers cooking, and
compares it with his wife's cooking to
her disadvantage. When that mans
boy gets wife of his own he tells her
what good cook his mother was, and
so it goes generation after generation.
Now, according to this theory, the art
of cooking has been steadily deteriorat-
ing, but Of course this is not true. Won

the best cook the world ever saw?-St.

stupid and entered into long explana-

ers who came into the mountains when
game was abundant, sport unfailing and
living cheap. Among them now are
