eUNPoWDER IN HUNTING.
rOok Many Years for Hunters to FaInil-
 iariEe Themselves With It.


 A curious feature about this eVolu- ton in methods of hunting was the he's itation with which gunpowder was taken up by the great nobles Not only did it take quite century to familiar ize 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. Maximillian, ar dent sportsman that he was, tells us himself that he could shoot further and with greater accuracy with his cross bow than his keeper could with the fire-tube. To prove this he tells us the well-known story of a certain chamo1s standing at a distance of two hundred fathoms, which, after being pronounced as to far off by his henchman, who was armed with one of the first sporting firearms mentioned in print, comes tumbling down, pierced by the first att tempt of the Emperor's bolt. From other sources we learn of strict meas ures being adopted to prevent poaehers and "woodloafers" using firearms; and this at a period when princes still used the cumbrous cross-bow and spear. It was only in the last quarter of the six teenth century that firearms had busted other weapons for certain forms of the chase, the deer-battle being among the latter.
