A Remarkable Shot at Antelope.

~ NVbtso a0tO wv -
Outing: Perhaps more remarkable
shots have been made at antelope than
at any other American game. This IL
natural. OF course since. being usually
in plain sight, they were often shot at
from great distance, and many a man
making a lucky guess at distance and
holding just right, has been enormously
proud of a very long shot that killed.
OF such long shots few were successful:
the ri1eman who fired them a great
but wholly undeserved--reputation. I
myself made the most extraordinary
shot at an antelope hat I ever heard
of. which, however, has nothing to do
with good shooting, but rather with the
erratic course that a rifle ball may
take. With several scouts. white men
n Indians. / rod over q hill to see
three or -four buck antelope spring to
their feet, run q short distance and
then stop and look. I made a quick
shot at one, which dropped, and on 0o-
ing to him found him not dead, though
desperately wounded. The animal had
been standing, broadside on. his face
the left elbow, splintering the olecran-
OH. passed through the brisket, broken
the right humerus. turned at right
angles. and gone back, cutting sew
eral ribs. broken the right femur, then
turned again at right angles and came
out through the inside of the leg, and
struck the lett mock joint. which It dis
located n twisted of, SC that 1t hung
by a very narrow string Of hide. I new
er again expect to see so extraordinary
q course for a rifle ball.

Alum, Flint and suIphurio Acid.


1t Is reported that in many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called Cheap or
ow- priced baking powders. either di-
or by an order upon a grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
Rnd 1t Is claimed hat the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
H-ousekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
lriced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
IN some sections Of this country their
sale Is prohibited by law. Congress has
forbidden h sale of food containing
alum In the District Of Columbia, The
highest authorities condemn their use.
Or. 8. w. Johnson, for instance, Pro-
lessor OF chemistry at Yale college
lays: Bread made with q baking pow
der containing alum must yield q
soluble alumina salt with the gastric
Juice, and must. therefore, act as a
poison"
1t is we'll known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analysed at Yale
college and found to be one-uuarter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
others are filled with s%ulphuric acid.
md salts of lead are also found in
hem.
In baking powders be sure to get a

English. He handled checks, money, etc..
and was well known by the Clay county
bank officials. So when the check was
presented on Tuesday for 81 the money
was promptly handed over. A few hours
later Rogers purchased a ticket for Min

Henry Iabouehere Wants a Tariff on
Our Golden Girls.

Wv
Our Golden Girls.
London special: The influx of Amer
lean girls into England. where they
carry off the most desirable matrimo-
NAL bargains. has induced Henry La
bouchere to advocate a tariff on girls.
On this subject he has the following
to say in the London Truth:
Il am surprised hat home producers
of girls have not already approached
Joseph Chamberlain n begged him
to include In his scheme some arrange
ment to exclude from our shores the
American girls. The la: err compete
with the home market under most I'M
fair conditions.
Their parents. by means OF trusts
ana sucn IKE pernicious associations.
are able to give their daughters vast
sums of money. and in this way they
are able to compete unfairly for the
best home customer in the matrimonial
market.
1T may be said that our nation
profits. owing to these wealthy girls
spending thei money. with which they
are freighted. in England. The benefit,
however. Is questionable. Already
there Is a vast mount of vulgar os-
tentation In what is called the smart
London set. owing to the imports OF
colonial mtllionaires, which raises the
OF fashionable existence and
n degrades the tone of that
society, into which so many aspire to
enter. to h despicable level of COM
peting plutOcrats of Newport and New
York. can only increase II we are
