The patter of her little feet
Is Loves own musketry:.
AS down the stair she lightly trip
With saucy eyes and smiling lips,
oh, ne'er was maiden half SO sweet
AS she!
The rustic of her sllken gown
Is Loves artillery:
AS thro' the hall she swiftly fits.
She breaks my rn-resolves to bits
My fortresses go tumhling down

She's herei No flag of truce 1 see;
The love light, flashing straight
From out those wondrous eyes so swee'
Her victory but makes complete

GUN STOCKS.
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 4 gun
smith, holding up a heavy billet sawed
into 4 rude sembtanee of gun stock,
may have been 20 years seasoning.
I've known the pile of wood It came
from these II years. The piece as you
see It is worth three dollars. It is Eng
Iish walnut. This piece that I am shap-
ing was worth four dollars in the rough
It is German walnut The Brazilian
walnut costs as much as S15 for a single
billet"
Cheap gun stocks are made from
American walnut, which costs but u
trifie in the rough, but is too porous for
use in the best guns. Gun stocks are
row turned out by machinery, and
thus made they are cheap. The best
are still hand made, and it costs about
ten dollars to reduce the billet of sea-
soned 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 a development from
the pistol handle. The traditional or.
namentation IL a series of crossed lines.
Skilled gunsmiths spend much time
and care upon the fashionng of the
gtOck. After il has been shaped TO the
right form it is finished to a smooth and
uniform surface with iaborious sand
pupering, and finally shellacked and
rubbed down and polished after the
manner of treating the best cabinet
made furniture. Agunsmith may spend
two days or more in making a stock,
and handmade stock of Brazilian wal
nut may be worth S25.
Fancy woods are not much used in
gun stocks that are to be anything but
showpieces. Mahogany is too brittle
for the purpose, and rosewood is too
heavy. The finishing has to be of a
sort to resist water, and hence ordinary
varnish is not used in polishing a we'll
made gun stock. There are compare
lively few gunsmiths in town that
make a speciality of handmade stocks.
and those are usually Germans. A gun
smith is occasionally asked to make an
especially ornate stock with carvings.
and possibly even inset pearl. ivory or
gold. These stocks are costly. but for
practical purposes they are less useful
than the plain stock of English. German
or Brazilian waInut.-N. Y. sun.
