To Save Horses from Fire.

When horse is released from his
stall during fire, says a technical
paper, he will not leave the stable, for
the stall is the only place in which he
believes himself to be safe. A new
patented device, which consists of a
pipe running through the stall to the
outside of the stable, is designed to
cure this. In case of fire turn of a
handle brings hose nozzle into posi-
ton and stream of water pours over
the head and shoulders of the horse,
which drives him into the gangway,
from which it becomes a comparative
ly easy matter to lead him into the
street.

At One Shot.

A sportsman of great imaginative
gifts and fond Of telling his exploits,
related that at one shot he had brought

in it's claws. But how about the
hare?" he was asked. oh" was the
calm reply, my gun kicked and
