About Snipe-Shooting.

A tWelve-guage gun. choke-bored in
both barrels, makes the best gun for
jack-snipe shooting in wet corn-fields
A man must take every possible chance,
for a jack-snipe is an easy bird to KILL
although exceedingly difficult to hit. One
grain of shot will often kill him dead, and
he rarely goes very far when wounded
But 1t is often quite Il problem to place
Il grain of shot in snipe, and partic-
ularly when the ground is comparative
~ open. For he is a wary bird under
these. conditions, and is away like a
streak of dull lightning. and gets out of
range so quickly that every second must
be used in bringing your gun to bear on
his flight.
More than one bird will be lost by
not firing the instant he rises. A man
should go with his gun at full cock. both
barrels. for he has just about two sec
onds in which his fire is available. The
first shot may be at 60 yards, if he is
rel fails to drop the bird, should follow
Immediately. The value of "a quick Sec
ond barrel is apparent in this kind Of
shooting. 1t is in reality long-range
"snap-shooting," and quickness and ac-
curacy are its cardinal points. The num-
Der SIX shot are better for the second
ing. OF course the number of pellets in
charge are less but the heavier shot
VIII not be so shifted by the wind. And
when a strong wind is blowing it is
simply marvellous how it will drift load
of shot at long ranges
Long shots in this kind of hunting is
the rule. A G0-yard shot is close; and
20 to 81 yards is more common. BY using
number eight shot in the right-hand bar
rel and number skies in the left-hand
barrel, man can get the best results
A wing-tipped jack-snipe is the most ac-
commodating bird in the world, for on
your arriving anywhere near his vicinity
he will hop up and down and advertise
his presence, thus virtually retrieving
himself for the fortunate hunter.-Recrea-

BOUTS AT CITY HALL TONIGHT
Cote and Shea In Main Event-First
Class Preliminaries.

City hall will be the center of interest
fer the srOrt-loving public of this and

this unusual interest will be the particu-
larry strong boxing entertainment given
under the auspices of the Augusta Social
and Athletic Association when that 81 eat

in this city for about 10 days now, pre-
pairing for the event, and as he lad pre-

ing the result is that he is at his very
best. Indeed, it is safe to say that he
has never been in as good shape as he
will appear in tonight
Cote has been chosen to meet Young
Donahue in New York the following
night, and as Donahue is considered the
very best lightweight in the East it will
be seen that Arthur is held in the high

What May We Eat?

ton of SanchO PanZa, when he at
tanned his ambition and became COVER
nor of the Island Of Barataria. 1t will
be remembered that when Sancho, who
had an enormous and omnivorous APP
petite, sat down to a table groaning
with delicacies, his appetite whetted
by their sight. he was Mortified to find
dish after dish whisked away on the
ground that 1t did not agree with him.
The meat was too heating and would
make lis choleric and interfere with
that GOODNESS and Self-control which
properly belong to a governor; the
fruit too acid and would sour his dis
position; in fact, all the dishes We're
removed as unfit for him to eat
Mankind is rapidly coming to that
stage. The movement in favor Of
food purity has unanimous support;
and 50 have the precautions to insure
milk Of sufficient richness and free
from any faint of tuberculosis The
attack on the table of today has not
stopped here, but has assailed nearly
every particle OF food of general con-
sumption, certainly all those that are
popular.
The strawberry is the latest victim:
and the campaign against that pleas
ant berry, begun in London. has
reached the stage of denouncing it as

man race, the cause of many ills and

The Wear and Tear of Library Books

The wear and tear of books, especially
of books of general reference, must al
WAYS be excessive in modern public
libraries. and no doubt it will become
more and more excessive. The leisurely
days of libraries are gone; the man who
comes to verify references is generally
in hurry. and he has little regard for
the dignity of literature. The biblio-
phile's tender handling of his favorites
is to the reference hunter an amiable
weakness not to he encouraged. He
rushes at his book, tears it open and
cuts it's heart out. Some books are
literally thumbed out of existence.
Naturally those fare the worst which
feed the vanity of human nature and
serve The turn of pedigree hunters, 4

County histories. nearly always costly

the Victoria County History" must
soon be replaced by a duplicate copy.
But we have a generous sympathy with
the students who are wearing out such
hooks as Birkbeck Hills Boswell,
Wheatley's Pepys, Bury's Gibbon.
Hodgkin's Italy and Her Invaders and
the Cambridge Modern History, the
museum copies of which works are be-
ing gradually ground down. About
the deplorably thumbed condition of the
Sermon Bible, in twelve volumes, we
refrain from speaking.
1t is remarkable how very few books
are stolen from the reading room. One
likes to think that this immunity is due
to the general goodness of humanity.
Perhaps the fact that museum books
are stamped in such a way as to render
them valueless as vendible property
may also have something to do with it.
However that may be, it is true that a
book scarcely ever disappears. and the
Gently been purloined during as many
years have in all instances been of small
value and generally of an elementary
character. During the South African
war, for example, a Dutch grammar
and dictionary passed beyond the pre-
cincts of the British Museum. and if
these lines should meet the eye of the
young gentleman in whose baggage
they presumably found passage to the
southern hemisphere he is invited to
restore them to their lawful owners.
He would only be following another ex-
ample. A few years ago a parcel OF
four or five valuable scientific books,
which had been missing for very many
years, was unexpectedly returned
through the postoffice. The person
who had borrowed them appears to
have finished with them. for subsequent
inquirers disclosed the fact that a
widow had posted the parcel.-Corn-

Gunkel later demonstrated his NOR

was attacking a ghost, and ghosts do
not enjoy the protection Of the civil

dered. The judge, however, refused to
accept it. Weapons, he said, are Of
no avail against phantoms. and i'm
employing them Bach proved that he
knew he was face to face with a hu-

six months. 1t is quite clear from
this decision that ir4Germany no man
