A Novice's Mistake.

The commonest mistake of the novice is to use gun with too much drop, the re- suit of which is the tendency to under shooting. The drop os a gun Is the butts distance below the breech and as a general thing drop 1.-two and quar- ter inches will be sufficient When in the range or when shooting at a stationary target the tendency to understanding can be somewhat corrected by the drawing of a coarser sight, but when the deer is bounding between tree trunks a hundred yards away the hunter has no chance to accurately measure distance.
 Every gun has its peculiarity, and every gun is more or less affected by climatic conditions, showing wide variations be- tween hot and cold weather. or wet wealth CT and dry. Some rifles will show a nearer approach to accuracy with the heavy pow der charge behind the lead, while others re- quire less powder and more ball. The only way to overcome this difficulty. therefore, is to become acquainted with your gun, and in doing this the average man will

THE SCIENCE OF
 RIFLE SHOOTING Facts That Must be Learned by the Man Behind
 the Gun
BY J. L. coNkLING.

There is science about rifle shooting that Is undreamed of by the novice until he has learned by sad experiences that the pulling of the trigger is not the only requisite to success. Gradually he will learn that shooting, especially over range, has been reduced theoretically to an exact science. Distances have been fixed, the velocity of crossing currents of aEr have been gauged and formulas have been arranged for lessening or increasing the force of the charges. Countless ex- periments have been made to show just what elevation of the rear sight will place the projectie at a certain height upon the butts started from certain distance away, and even the lights and shadows and the relation borne by them to the target have been accurately figured down to what is almost mathematical certainty.
 Whlo all these things are important they do not make the rifemen. Such rules of necessity immeasurably improve the bad shot, but they do not make the sharp shooter. Not to know them, however, is more than apt to doom one to something like failure, but to become a perfect rifle man it Is also necessary to take ones in- structions in the school of experience One must go into the field, or down tlhe range, and then, through patient exertions and countless failures and exasperations, work ones way upward to the top.
 In spite of all this, however, there are rules that must be known. For instance it is one of the first requisites to successful field work that the gun should balance" well. In order to meet this requirement. it's weight must be properly distributed. It's barrel must be of proper length and its wood Of proper density. In fact, 1t must feel right when it Is brought to the shoulder A man cannot learn to shoot well if his rifles stock Is too long for him any more than he can look well In a shirt that is three sIzes too large or too small for him

EXECUTIVE TRANsGRESsIoNS.

It is not improbable that Congress. when it meets, will take the very logical ground that Secretary Hay exceeded his constitu- tional powers when he agreedfto the mo- dus vivend, and therefore summarilv ter minate that agreement. If such should come to pass, it will not be the first time an executive agreen ent with foreign power has been repudiated by Congress for like reason. President Cleveland agreed with the British government to the arbltra- tion of the sealing claims during his first term as president without asking the ad- vice or consent of the Senate. The arbi- trators who were appointed under the agreement made a considerable award to Great Britain, but Congress has for more than decade refused to appropriate the money to pay it. The legislative branch of the government has maintained that an agreement to arbtrate au international difference is matter for treaty stipulation and the president of the United States can not make treaty without the advice and consent of the Senate While it is unfor- tunate that the incident over the sealing question has given a few narrow minded trans s-Atlsntlc newspaper bigots an oppor- tunitv to say that the United States has not high regard for its agreements, if Congress should condone the unwarranted assumption of the executive a precedent would be set that might lead to disastrous consequences.
 There seems no reason to doubt that Secretary Hays agreement as to the Alas kan boundary is as flagrantlv unconstitu- tional as was President Cleveland's arbi- tration agreement. The same reasons that inpelIed Congress to refuse to carry out the latter would apply with even greater force to the former. IT. Congress alone is verted the authority to dispose of the public domain. If the strip of the Porcu- pine district given to Can da by the terms of the modus yivendi belonging to the Uni ted States the power did not He with the Secretary of State to dispose of it,and If he had not power to dispose of 1t permanently, he had not for any lesser period. ltre- ouires the same power 10 surrender the pre- cious metal. in the ground and the timber in the forests as to give tttle deed. Secretary Hay clearly encroached upon the rights of Congress. The modus vivendl is certainly unconstitutional.
 The difficulty with the present situation will be in a practical method for congress siona assertion. In the case with Presi- dent Cleveland all Congress had to do was to refuse the required appropriation. The executive was powerless to give effect to his agreement without the money to pay the award. But the administration has already given effect to the perfidv of Secre- tary Hay. Of course Congress could pass a resolution asserting American owner ship and right of control over the strip csded, but that would do nothing but make Canadians mad. It would not re- gain the territory.
 If Senator Mason and others do not change their mind, the Secretary of States chair will become pretty warm to John Hay next winter.
