A curious feature about the evolu-
ton in methods of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not
only did it take quite century to
familiarize hunters with it, but the
evidence that has come down to us
shows that the humble classes were
the first to use it for shooting game.
Macmillan, ardent sportsman that he
was, tells US himself that he could
shoot further and with greater accur-
acy with his crossbow than his keeper
could with the fire tube.
To prove this he tells as the we'll
known story of a certain chamois
standing at distance of 200 fathoms.
which after being pronounced as too
far off by his henchman, who was
armed with one of the first sporting
firearms mentioned in print, comes
tumbling down, pierced of the frs,
attempt by the emperor's bolt. From
other sources we learn of strict meas
ures being adopted to prevent poach-
ers,and "woodloafers" using firearms
and this at period when princes still
used the cumbrous crossbow ant
spear. 1t was only in the last quar-
ter of the sixteenth century that fire
arms had ousted other weapons TO
certain forms of the chase, the dee
battue being among the latter. Pal

Fig hitting Yellow Fever.

Eminent medical authorities are OF
the opinion that the South will be prac-
tieally freed from the standing menace
OF yellow fever as soon as American
methods can be brought to bear on the
question of sanitation in our newly ac-
CURED provinces. Santiago is a very
paradise of filth, and there is not for
one hour any reasonable assurance
that an epidemic may not break out
there. The sacrifice of the principle
cities and ports of Cuba through their
publication by fire will be a cheap
and eminently suitable operation. pro-
Vided ii eyentuates in that cleanliness
that comes by fire alone. The i'm
munity of the South from such
scourge will be secured at a most rea-
sonable rate, if the predictions of the
physicians are fulfilled. They claim
that with Siboney, Santiago, Havana
and a few other points subjected to
such vigorous treatment, there will be
little, If any, difficulty, in controlling,
if not absolutely stamping out, this
dread disease. This is the first time
that yellow fever has been attacked in
its stronghold, and the fact that most
of the cases are of en- extremely mild
type is a matter for most decided re-
joicing.

Land-Crabs of Cuba.

Jonathan s. Jenkins, an American
miniature painter, lived in Havana
during the middle century and kept a
diary of his experiences. A series OF
extracts published in The Century has
the following description of the land
crab, which caused so much annoyance
to American soldiers in the present
war:
These creatures are larger than a
sea-crab, and live entirely on the land
They run with great speed, even out
stripping horse. At certain seasons
of the year they migrate in large
bodies from one side of the island to
the other, in columns sometimes half
a mile wide, and so dense as almost
to stop a carriage on the road they
may be crossing. These columns
overcome every obstaclein their direct
line Of march, even h rntains.

Wars Boom to Shooting Galleries.

''The war has been q wonderful pro-
Queer for the various shooting CALLER
les throughout the country" volun-
teered the representative of an arms
manufacturing concern, "and an enor-
nous number of small rifles have been
sold and are used constantly The
shooting galleries were about on their
last legs last spring, when the war
broke out. Instantly the thoughts OF
the young men, and old men, for that
matter, were turned in the direction
of things warlike, and particularly
toward rifles. The shooting galleries
were not slow to encourage it, and soor
they had new supply of shooting
irons and targets. The business
jumped up tremendously and has KEEP
up ever since. The magazine target
rifles make fancy shooting q pleasur,
to what it was some years ago, wher
muzzle leaders were used, and hun

one was fred then. There is consid

PROFIT IN STURGEON FISHING.
Money Made In Connecticut Cavlare Ma,
Start an Industry Here.

Money Made in Connecticut CavIare Ma,
Start an Industry Here.
Sturgeon catching in the Connecti
cut river, comparatively new indus
| try there, has come to close after 6
highly successful season. More money
has been made in sturgeon catching
this season than in any other of Con-
necticut's numerous shore fisheries.
In fact the luck of the sturgeon fisher
men has been such as to lead many oil
the net fishermen into the business,
and the probabilities are that the Con-
necticut river crop of sturgeon will be
practically exterminated in year OF
two.
The money is made almost wholly
from the caviare or sturgeon spawn,
which, since the river fishermen have
learned the art of picking, appears in
the New York market as competitor
for favor with the choicest Russian
caviare and sells at once. The Con-
necticut caviare brings so cents per
pound. One of the Hadlyme fisher
men has received more than $4,000 for
his shipments of caviare to New York
this season.
Another fisherman caught four of
these big fish in one night, which
brought him a profit of 500. One
sturgeon that he caught yielded a
spawn weighing eighty-six pounds.
Spawns of sixty pounds weight are
quite frequently taken in the height
of the season.
Such source of profit has the fish
cry proved OH the Connecticut that
movement is on foot among some of
the river men to prosecute it on the
Hudson river next season, where the
sturgeon, quite commonly termed in
that section "Alhany beef, are known
to be plentiful. Sturgeon were thrown
away as foul fish when taken at Say
brook in former days.

In texture. Vegetables and fruits that
have attained a medium size are far
more likely to be satisfactory in the
eating, and they are also more econom-
ical to purchase and to use.
Young housewives are often puzzled
that their pies have knack of sink
ing down in the middle, while those
turned out by more experienced hands
are dome-shaped and slightly. The ex-
PLANTATION is that the latter have an in
verted cup placed in the middle be-
fore the fruit and crust Is added. This
cup prevents the fruit juice from boil
ing over and also keeps the pie crust
from falling in. The juice is, by t.e
time the pie is served almost all col
lected beneath the cup, which must be
raised by the server before sufficient
strip is obtained.
There is no doubt that stewed fruit
is a most wholesome addition to Or
binary diet There are, however. many
persons who cannot eat it, either on
account of the acidity of the fruit or of
the large quantity OF sugar required to
make it palatable. 1t should be re-
membered that sugar does not counter
act the acidity Of the fruit, 1t simply
DISCUSSES it, and if much of it is used
1t is apt to interfere with the digestive
| organs. Before cooking the fruit,
sprinkle over it small pinch of car
Donate of soda; this renders the dish
moro wholesome and certainly more
tasty.
| AS much injury to health may result
from the eating of poisonous fungi I'M
der the guise of mushrooms, 1t is all
ways safest to subject these (so-called)
to some approved test. The Simplest
is to sprinkle salt upon the spongy
part of the fungus and allow this to re-
main undisturbed for some minutes.
II the mushrooms turn yellow under
the action of the salt they are proved
poisonous; If black, they are whole

the spongy parts pinky red. with shad-
ings of liver color. The flesh and stem
are white, and the latter is solid and
