how to Handle 4 Gum.

In picking up your gun from lying
fiat, standing against anything, from q
companion or boat, do not take hold
of the muzzle and drag it toward you.
Take hold Of it by the forestock and
barrel if you are only using one hand;
If two, in the regular way you grasp It
when you go to shoot. In carrying
your gun do not keep the muzzle d.
rectly behind you. Throw the butt to
the right or left, whichever shoulder
you are carrying it on. This will bring
the muzzle toward the opposite shout
der, thus rendering it easy to carry, as
it will be resting on your neck and
shoulder instead of on the small part
of your shoulder and with the muzzle
upward will also tighten it little. !
think there are more men shot with
their own guns by taking them from a
boat than in any other way. When
you run your boat or canoe to the bank,
your gun is likely to be in the bow,
which I think is the best place for 1t.
Take hold of it by the forestock and
step out. Put it in a safe place where
you are sure it will not fall down. Then
draw up your boat or do anything else
you have to do, but do not let your gun
stay in the boat until you have shout
dered your pack and then catch hold Of
the muzzle, drag it up over the gun
vale, hook the hammers and have 1t
explode. It is likely to blow out your
brains.-Forest and Stream.

which is in possession Of the general
public and is based on newspaper re-.

mission and not q single individual.
There have been various Suggestions a.
to who might be appointed on such q
commission, but it il positively stated
that az yet no definite selections have
been made. As to the numerical
Strength Of Such Comlnission,
the general impression seems to be that
1t should not consist Of more than i've
members, more likely three, and posi-
bly, Of only two. It can be stated, upon
the highest authority, that there will
be upon the commission some Ameri.
can Of pre-eminent ability whose repu-
tAtion would be an immediate guaran-
tee to the American people that Amer
lean interests would be safe in his
hands and whose standing before the
world would be to give him and those
associated with him, prestige abroad.
Itis believed that the administration il

president Harrison, ex-Secretary Day

The Ladies' Home journal says that
president Madison revived much Of

he was forced to relinquish after the
experience Of one occasion on which he
extended an i'll Judged hospitality to all

was ruined by punch whic the mob

he does not feel that this time it is nee
