Cleaning Rife Barrels.

The best way to clean the barrel OF

Is piece OF cord which will pass
through the barrel. with weight at
one end, and two loops at the other.
In the loop nearer the weighted end
place piece of oily rag, and draw
this through the rife barrel until it Is
clean. This Is the method used in
the army. The following are two easy
methods OF cleaning guns and rifles {:

zle: then proceed to roll 1T up and
down the barrel, shaking 1t about for
Il few minutes. The mercury and the
lead win form an amalgam, and leave
the barrel as clean and free from lead
as the first day 1t came out Of the
shop. The same quicksilver can be
used repeatedly by straining 1t
through wash leather; for the lead
will be left behind IN the leather, and
the quicksilver will be again it for

OPEN FIREPLACE is FRAUD
Almost Invariably It Won't Draw and
II Ii Does Draw the Chances
Are That It Won't Heat.

There is nothing that looks better
in picture than an open fireplace.
The old Dutch masters discovered that.
and willy craftsmen ever since have
used the knowledge. Witness the -four
shing modern school Of commercial
art. It's poor phonograph that can't
be seen peeping out Of the half light
thrown from fireplace. with its lucky
possessor lOfling near by In an atti>
tude of ecstatic alteration. It's poor
brand Of socks that can't he worn be-
fore the andirons, or of chocolates that
can't be munched by pretty girls in the
same effective setting. An open fire.
place has come to be one of the stock
properties for producing an effect Of
eheeriness, and, indeed, the matinee
IDOLS heart-rending dilemma is never
so heart-rending as when he tells his
bosom friend about 1t before a stage
fireplace, with the red incandescents
tiickering realistically and the viOlins
sobbing a soft accompaniment.
But enough Of that old hoax, says
the New Sun. The open fireplace Is a
fraud Almost invariably 1t won't
drawback London, who, whatever
Grabbed stylists might say of his writ
Ing, at least knew life out Of doors,
made It the summit Of achievement for
one who had gone back to the soil to
make fireplace that wouldn't smoke.
And when 1t does draw 1t won't heat.
And If it does both, the chances are a
hundred to one there isn't enough cord
wood in the whole neighborhood to
keep it going half day. One Of the
many comic sights to be seen in q SUI
burban bungalow Is pyre Of bits Of
pa acking-ease. small branches of trees,
scraps Of timber left by the builder
and such combustible whatnot touched
of solemnly to show a helpless week
ender what a real open fireplace Is
like.
Those who must burn wood to keep
warm don't do it so foolishly. A box
stove Of the old kind, that will hold
chunks two feet long, that has no
crate, but holds the embers glowing
redly about the fuel still burning, that
roars In q CHEEKY crescendO as the
winds mount outside, Is the proper
caper.
Throw open the swinging door. Was
there ever SO brave glare Of livid
embers, 'pulsing with the breath Of the
FIRE? A steak would and does broil

thing Of comfort that old box stove.
