Rifle With RInocuIar SIGHTS.

A new rifle, which the sportsman
rests against his forehead instead OF
against his shoulder, is described, with
illustrations, in Popular Mechanics
magazine, Two telescopes form the
sighting device, by means of which &C,
curate shooting is possible at distances
impossible with the usual type Of gun
The inventor, an Ohio sportsman, in
experimenting, used gun having a
range of about fifteen hundred yards
and a penetration of three-eighths Of
an inch Of boiler steel. A binoculal
telescope of peculiar design is com
bined with the gun, and makes it un
necessary to squint the eye in sight
ing. A padded plate, shaped to the
forehead, is so arranged that the re-
coil Of the shot is entirely taken up by
fiat springs.

Pancakes Furnish compIete Diet.

Considered from a physiological
point of view, the custom of eating
pancakes is commendable, says the
Lancet. 1t is a satisfactory fact that
they have become popular sweets at
other seasons than carnival time, for
they are ,nourishing and .digestible
food.
A review Of the ingredients which
provide the formula shows at once that
the pancake is a singularly complete
diet, containing, that is to say, all
classes of food materials, It is rich
alike in proteins, carbohydrates, fats
and mineral substances, all in an ac-
ceptably assimilable form. 1t is
doubtful whether there is a single
manufactured or patent food upon the
market which can claim such valu-
able range of dietetic properties.
Apart, moreover, from it's dietetic val
ue the pancake possesses an important
pharmacology, inasmuch as it is rich
in lecithin, which is now known to
have special significance in the proc
esses Of nutrition and metabolism.

YEARS HAD LEFT THEIR MARK
Great Artists Model for Divine Face
Served Later In Depletion Of
That Of Judas.

On the wall OF an old monastery in
Milan hangs the famous Last Sup
per" Of Leonardo da Vinci. II is said
that this artist, In painting the faces
OF the apostles, studied the oounte'
nances of good men whom he knew.
When he was ready to paint the face
OF Christ he could find none that would
satisfy his conception. After years of
careful search. says the Strand Mag.
azine, the painter happened TO meet
one Pietro Bardlnelli, a cholr-boy Of
exquisite voice, belonging TO the ca
thedral. Being struck by the beautiful
features and tender manner that be.

sent. Again the painter set about in
search of a countenance. Years passed
before his search was rewarded and
the picture finally completed. AS the
artist was about TO dismiss the miser-
able and degraded wretch who had
been his awful choice, the man looked
up at him and said:
you have painted me before"
With amazement, the painter learned
that the man was Pietro Bardinelli.
During those intervening years Pietro
had been at Rome studying music, had
met with evil companions, and fallen
into shameful dissipation and crime.

Valuable Dog.

A commuter, who had evidently
been imbibing rather freely, boarded
the smoker of Reading Germantown
branch train last Saturday evening,
according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Attached to a long chain he had a
collie dog. AS he had no ticket he
handed the conductor a dollar note
and was returned handful of small
change. Studying the coins a mo-
ment, he couldn't figure out why he
had not received more, so calling the
man with the blue suit and brass but
tons, he asked for an explanation. The
conductor told him that ten cents was
the price Of the excess ticket ten
cents for his fare and Is cents for car

A wonderful feat of pedestrianism
has been performed by 81 men of the
London Rife brigade, who completed
a forced march from London to
Brighton-52h miles-in the record
time of IA hours 23 minutes, the
previous best march having been so

by the French Foreign Legion. The

Not single one dropped out during
the whole distance, although they were
