curious SHOOTING Device.

Remarkably curious is a device
which will interest military men. 1t
is an apparatus for teaching gun prac-
tice, and it consists of gun support,
a pointer, a bull's-eye mark, an auto
matte clamp, and tripping mechanism.
The support and pointer have univer-
sal joint supports, and are so con-
nected with each other that parallel
ism of the pointer is maintained with
the deTiating line of the gun sight
The bull's-eye mark is located in the
line which the pointer occupies when
the gun is truly sighted, and there is

is operated by a hand wheel, is at
tached metal cylinder which is filed
with water, and which is closed with
a plug or cork at the top. Whenever
the wheel is moved, a smaller wheel,
to which the cylinder is fastened, and
which is connected with the hand
wheel by a leather strap, is also
turned. Now, if the rapid rotation of
the cylinder is checked by placing a
broad wooden clamp beside the funnel,
and in such manner that the sides
of the clamp will rub against the cylin-
der when the latter is turned, the
cylinder will also grow warm. and
will eventually boil. AS soon as it
arrives at this state the steam in the
cylinder will drive the plug out with
great force.

When Adam. courted Eve, they say
With certain jests they whiled the
hours
OF blissful Incidence away
Amid the zephyrs and the flowers
And Noah would those stories tell
Unto his sons when 1t grew dark,
The gloomy tedium to dispel
Which sometimes settled Ger the ark
And round full many a campfire bright
Those yarns have sent merry thrill;
They were recited with delight
At Troy and likewise Bunker Hill.
And now the Congressman comes out
And cons them Ger with guileless giee,
And scatters them around about
And all is blithe as blithe can be.

of the twin cannon which has just

4 GREAT many remedies to temper
~ arilyrelieve catarrh have been devised
4 from time to time, such as sprays,
snuffs, creams and other local applications,
but, as a rule, the medical profession has
little or no enthusiasm in the treatment
of catarrh-
1t is generally pronounced by them to be
incurable.
1t therefore created great sensation in
medical circles when DR.. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised a compound
which would cure catarrh permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and il a
short time became known to thousands of
catarrh sufferers north, SOUTH east and west
Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna
is radical cure for catarrh began to pour
In from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file in
the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.

pointer and the bulrs-eye within the
visual range of the instructor. When
the trigger is pulled, the automatic
clamp serves to lock the parts in the

is held in readiness for action by
means of setting devices. To those
ignorant of the art of war it seems
rather a complicated mechanism, but
soldiers will at once see its usefulness.

he had swallowed while drinking at q
spring and which, as he violently de-
clared, was devouring the coat Of his

indeed, there was not-and sent him
away with the solemn assurance that

He continued to worry, however,
and when at last he found q physician
who cared more about results than
etiquette he was on the verge OF
actual insanity. This great physician
soon perceived that he had to deal
with a hallucinaticn, not a snake, and
proceeded accordingly. He employed
a colored citizen and a tin bucket
