Two Reasons.

At q circuit court held some years
ago In a Western State an action Of
ejectment was tried "by the court with
out jury" The decision rendered
was couched In such a way that 1t
caused considerable amusement.
The suit was brought by a religious
society to recover possession OF a GEM
etery. The defendant was physi-
clan In active practice. who, as one of
a committee appointed by the church,
had bought the ground for the use Of
the society.
Afterward he severed his connection
with the society, and 1t was found that
lie had taken the title In his own name,
and Intended to appropriate the prem
ises for his private use. The defendant
insisted that he had bought the ground
In his own right after his relations to
the society had ceased.
The court, after hearing the evidence
and arguments, proceeded to state the
grounds for his decision. and ordered
judgment for the plaintiff. Whereupon
the defendants counsel arose, and ask
ed the court to state more fully the
reasons for the decision.
Certainly" said his honor. promptly.
But as you have heard what have
said, ! have only two additional rea-
sons to give: One Is that the church
seems to need cemetery. and the 9TH
er that the doctor has failed to show
that his practice is sufficiently large to
make 1t necessary for him to keep a
burying ground Of his own"

The extravagant talk Of Bouteilhe went
unheeded by his mother and sisters,
ami they experienced great shock on
herring who the perpetrator Of the Rue
Laitte outrage was. One Of Bouteilhe's
favorite topics was the absurdity of the
country giving man an education and

assistance, but he denied that he sent
the explosive letter.

most cylinder. They have, In some
cases, been partly met by having two
sets of barrels differently bored for the
same gun, so that they can be changed
at will according to the game to be
shot. The latest solution of the prob
lem is called the adjustable muzzle, and
Is, as its name implies, a muzzle Of
about three inches in length, forming
practically an extension Of the barrels
already on the gun, and capable Of be-
ing affixed at pleasure. In this addi-
tional muZzle Is placed the amount of
choke desired by the shooter, so that
when the muzZle Is adjusted the gun at
once kills to the greater distance de-
sired. The attaching of the muZzle to
the barrel Is done by lock screw at
the upper part of the barrels, and by
peculiar and very close fitting screw
which passes through the full length Of
the adjustable muzzle into a solid re-
ceptacle threaded) for 1t, in the rib
between the barrels. This is calculat-
ed to hold it perfectly secure and gas

season, especially. this will be useful,

Another item, while not exactly new,

This Is the twO-eyed sight. 1t was IN
vented by butler in an English no.
bleman's family. who was first struck
by the remark Of an eminent London
oculist to the effect that nearly 73 per
cent Of men had defective vision. This
fact made the butler, whose name was
Gilbert, think about the number of poor
shots there were among the English
gentry. After numberless experiments
he evolved rather crude arrangement
Of two things like small square needles
a sixteenth of an inch thick, one about
five inches long, the other about three
inches long, which were fixed on the rib
between the barrels of gun near the
sight, and were expected to remedy
the defective left eye and regulate the
right. He managed to get the Earl de
Grey, the famous running rifle shot;
the Marquis of Ripon, Lord Munson.
Sir Ralph Payne Galwey and others to
take the thing up, try it, and report OK
II, and in almost every case the report
was very favorable, to the effect that it
certainly did improve the shooting.
Outside of these experts the rank and
file Of gunners would take no stock in it.

those discontinued individuals who con-

Misquotcd Lines.

1t is peculiar faculty of human MEM
DRY to misquote proverbs and poetry,
and almost invariably to place the
credit where 1t does not belong. We
give below few familiar expressions
that are generally misquoted:
Nine out of ten think that "the Lord
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb" is
from the Bible, whereas Laurence
Sterne Is the author. Pouring oil up
on the troubled waters" is also ascrib-
ed to the sacred volume, whereas it Is
not there; in fact, no one knows its
origin. - 81
Nothing is more common than to
hear
A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still
This Is an impossible condition Of
mind, for no one can be convinced Of
one opinion, and at the same time hold
to an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was eminently sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
A famous passage Of scripture is Of
ten misquoted thus: "He thatis without
sin among you let him cast the first
stone" 1t should be, "Let him first
cast stone"
Sometimes we are told, Behold how
great a fire little matter kindleth"
whereas st. James said, Behold how
great a matter little fire kindleth,"
which is quite different thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as mile" which is not as sensible nor
as forcible as the true proverb, "A
miss of an inch is as good as mile."
''Look before you leap" should be,
"LooR before you ere you leap"
Pope is generally credited with hav-
ing written
Immodest words admit of no defense,
For want of decency is want of sense,
though it would puzzle anyone to find
the verse in his writings They were
written by the Earl of Roscommon,
who died before Pope was born.

The Battle Of the Giants was another
name given to the battle Of Mariguano

Venetians and the allied Italian and
Swiss armies. The latter were defeat

their troops being left on the field. The
victors lost 1000. The battle was given
the name by Trivalzio, a soldier and
historian, who was present.

Two-Eyed Sight.
One Of the greatest improvements in
the history Of the gun, or fowling piece.
as II was first called, was the introduce
tion by old Joe Manton of what II
termed choke. The choke system has
Its drawbacks, nevertheless. The prin-
cipal one Is that while the unchoked
cylinder will not kill at much over ~
yards, the choked gun at that distance
shoots like rife, the shot flying so
close as to become almost bullet, ne
cessitating very close aim, and some
times Kidding bird with the amount
OF shot poured into 1t. In European
covert shooting the sport varies from
rabbits In bunch of gorse, getting up
at 20 yards, to the spinneys, where the
pheasant rockets at 80 to 90 yards above
the tree tops and goes like the wind. To
meet these exigencies II has always
been necessary for the sportsman to
have two guns, one choke and one al
