Remarkable Work With a Rife.

ended the other day at San Antonio,
Tex. when A. TOepperwein completed
a ten day match. during which he shot
at 72,50O targets and missed only nine,
says the New York Tribune. This
breaks the worlds record In several
different ways, both as to the number
of targets shot at and the number
missed. Toepperwein closed the exhi-

Food Abundance In Virginia In the

Food Abundance In Virginia In the
Seventeenth Century.
Few countries of the world have
possessed so abundant and varied
supply Of food as virginia during the
seventeenth century. This partly ex-
plains, writes p. A. Bruce In "SOcial
Life In Virginia In the Seventeenth
Century" the hospitable disposition Of
the people even In those early times.
The herds of cattle. which ran almost
wild, afforded an inexhaustible supply
Of milk. butter, cheese. veal and beef.
Deer were shot in such numbers that
people cared little for venison. So
abundant were chickens that they
were not included in the inventories of
personal estates. No planter was 80
badly of that he could not have a fowl
on his table at dinner
Vast focks CT wild ducks and geese
frequented the rivers and bays and
were looked on as the least expensive
portion Of me food which the Virgin
ians had TO procure. Fish of the most
delicate and nourishing varieties were
caught with hook or net. oysters and
shellfish could be scraped up by the
bushel from the bottom of the nearest
inlet or tidal stream.
Apples, peaches, plums and figs
grew in abundance. Not only We're
grapes cultivated, but excellent vari-
eties grew wild through the forest
Such an abundance Of wild strawber-
ries could he gathered that no attemDt
was made to raise the domestic berry.
The watermelon flourished, and In
hominy, the roasting ear and corn
pone the Virginians possessed articles
of food of great excellence, which were
entirely unknown to the people Of the
old world. There was produced on
every plantation an extraordinary
quantity of walnuts. chestnuts, hazel
nuts and hickory nuts. Honey was
obtainable in abundance, both from
domestic hives and from hollow trees
in the forest.
