STILL USING FLINTLocks.

A New BrunswfcI storekeeper Says His
Patrons MUS Have Them.
Some regions are rather slow 10 adapt
themselves TO modern game-killing
implements. A Forest and Stream cor
respondent got letter from New
Brunswick the other day which said
that fiintlock guns were still in use up
in that country. The letter was from
a store keeper, who said that the store
had carried supply of gun flints ever
since ii had been started by his grand
father, away back in 1886. Probably
he would lose trade If he did not have
them in stock. 1t is not improbable
that Indians in the North Woods of
Canada still use fiintlock guns, but to
use them so near New York as is New
Brunswick is curious.
A fllintlock gun, beside a modern
hammerless gun, makes a contrast apt
TO be remembered. IL has been pro-
posed more than once that sportsmen.
instead of using such deadly weapons
as modern guns, take up the old bow and
arrow, or some other primitive weapon.
The sportsmen that had killed a modern
deer with that ancient weapon could
say that he was as good a hunter az
anybody. There are few or none that
can boast of such kill.

Keeps Up an Industrious Racket During

A man fell from the housetop in the
city of Aberdeen, and was brought INTO

asked what was his trade, and replied
that he was a Taper. No one had ever
heard of such a thing before, says tha
Amateur Emigrant; the officials were
filled with curiosity; they 5csought an
explanation. 1t appeared that when a
party of skaters were engaged upon a
roof they would now and then be taken
with a fancy for the public house. Now.
seamstress, for example, might slip
away from her work and no one be the
wiser, but if these fellows adjourned
the tapping of the mallets would cease,
md thus the neighborhood would be
advised of their dereliction. Hence the
