GUN STOCKS.
The Best Made Of Long Seasoned Walnut

The Best Made Of Long Seasoned Walnut
and Fashioned by Hand.
Gun stocks of good workmanship are
made Of well seasoned walnut.
"That piece Of wood said a gun
smith, holding up q heavy billet sawed
into rude semblance of 4 gun stock,
''may have been 20 years seasoning.
I've known the pile Of wood it came
from these III years. The piece, as you
see it, is worth $3. 1t il English wal
nut. This piece that I am shaping was
worth 81 in the rough 1t is German
walnut. The Brazilian walnut costs as
much as SIP for single billet.
Cheap gun stocks are made from
American walnut, which costs but a
trife in the rough, but is too porous for
use in the best guns. Gun stocks are
now turned out BY machinery, and thus
made they are cheap. The best are still
handmade, and it costs about $40 to
reduce the billet Of seasoned walnut to
the finished and ornate stock. Most
stocks are now made with the pistol
grip feature in addition To the shoulder
piece. Doubtless the stock as a whole is
q development from the pistol handle.
The traditional ornamentation il a se-
ries Of crossed lines. Skilled gunsmiths
spend much time and care upon the
fashioning Of the stock. After it has
been shaped To the right form it il fin
ished To q smooth and uniform surface
with laborious sandpapering, and final
y shellacked and rubbed down and pol
ished after tile manner Of treating the
best cabinet made furniture. "A gun
smith may spend two days or more in
making a stock, and handmade stock
Of Brazilian walnut may be worth S25.
Fancy woods are not much used I'D
gun stocks that are to be anything but
show pieces. Mahogany is too brittle for
the purpose, and rosewood is too heavy.
Ihe finishing has To be Of sort to re-
sist water, and hence ordinary varnish
is not used in polishing a well made
gun stock. There are comparatively few
gunsmiths i'll town that make a special
ty Of handmade stocks, ana those are
usually Germans A gunsmith is occa-
sionally asked to make an especially or
nate stock with carvings, and possibly
even inset pearl, ivory OF gold. These
stocks are costly, but for practical pur-
poses they are less useful than the plain
stock Of English, German or Brazilian
walnut. New York Sun.

The Musical Cat.

Ny blue Persian cat is a gentle, senti-
mental creature, slightly inclined to
melancholy and, strangely, even trouble
somely, affectionate to one or two select
friends. She had been accustomed from
the time first had her-last summer
to be continually with me, generally On
my lap OF shoulder. When the winter
evenings began to draw on, I took to
playing the piano, which I had not done
during the summer. The cat could not
understand why, when this was going
on, she was not allowed to take up her
usual position. In order, I suppose, to
show her disapproval Of my occupation,
she would continually climb up either
on to me or the piano and pat my hands
with her paws, and pull them off the
keys-very gently and without scratch
ing at all This became such a nuisance
that | could not play unless put her
out Of the room, but she would sit out
side and howl, and when any one OPEN
ed the door she would rush id and begin
da capo AT last I thought of way of
treating her-yiz, like a rational being,
placed a chair next to the music stool,
as though for duet and put her on it,
and explained the matter to her, and
from that time have had no further
trouble unless forget to put her chair
for her when begin to play. London
