ENT GUN.

THE SPORTSMAN AND THE Sill
ENT GUN.
A bill before the legislature at
Albany made it felony to sell 10
private individuals arms equippel
with silencer. Mr.. Hiram Percy,
Maxim, inventor of the silencer, pro-
tested against it's passage upon the
ground that his appliance cannot be-
used effectively upon reyolyers, or
any gun with barrel less than twen-
ty inches in. length, and will therefore
offer no advantage to assassins. IL
is hard to see the force OF his argu-
ment. Assassins do not by any
means conilne themselves to revolvers
new opportunities to lie in ambush
and pick off their victims with lit
tie danger of detection,
Mr.. Maxim, in addressing a sports
mans club upon recent occasion,
endeavored to prove to his auditors
the many advantages which he claims
the silencer offers to hunters, and
TO refute the objection that its use in
the chase is unsportsmanlike. One
ventures to say that no real sports
man who heard him-he who con-
forms to the ethics OF the hunt-was
seriously impressed. Mr.. Maxim
made the claim in th;s address that
the crash of the bullet passing
through the air, the noise of which
is in no wise diminished by the sill
encer, is what really startles the
game, and gives It ample warning OF
danger. But he evaded reference to
the fact that the sound of the bullet
alone, unaccompaned by the local
report OF the rifle from which it is
discharged. gives no warning of the
direction whence II comes, and that
a whole herd of deer might be slaugh-
tered by an unscrupulous hunter be-
fore the animals could discover their
enemy and escape.
The silencer reduces the recoil OF
high-power rifles TO a negligle point,
and in consequence makes for accur-
acy. Neither the point of silence
lnor the point OF increased accuracy,
however, will have weight with any
man who has the true red blood OF
the sportsman in his veins. Both
will undoubtedly appeal to the
game hog" or to the man who goes
to the woods only to kill. True
sportsmanship consists not in kill
ing, but in pitting human skill
against keen animal instinct. For
this reason the camera is more anc

There Is also a story that is told
OF Mr.. jefferson and the boys that

very intelligent animal, and he was
most anxious for Mr., Jefferson to see

various tricks, which were remark
ably clever.
When the performance was over,

Mrs Wilder lived with her hus-

This home is the most remarkable

and culture generally, have ever
been in. The parents are bringing
up their children 10 practise their
best manners on all occasions. They
do not know what company manners
mean.

refreshing and beautiful. Coarseness
gruifness, lack of delicacy find no
place there.
Both boys and girls have been
trained from infancy to make them
selves interesting and to entertain
and try to make others happy.
The entire family make it rule
to dress before dinner in the even
ing, just as they would If special
company were expected.
Their table manners are especially
marked. At the table every one is sup
posed to be at his best, not to bring
any crouch, or a long or sad face to

expected to do his best to make the
meal really happy occasion There
is sort of rivalry to see who can
be the most entertaining or contribute
to the spiciest bits of conversation
There is no indication OF dyspepsia
in this family. because every one Is
trained to laugh and be happy and
laughter is fatal enemy of indiges-

The etiquette of the table is also
strictly observed. Every member Of
the family tries to do just the proper
