i del Ol U CO re M f( er oi tb lb tb is fi 2: P G D a a l I INEW AND OLD NSTOL& Fashions have changed sinob flintlock times. A DncllinR Onlflt of Forty Yearn Ago Tho Derringer anil the Re Tolror l.ra. "If rou nro interested in shooting irons," aid a pun dealer to a New York ISiin reporter, "let me. show you some Ipiplols. They will indicate how fashions Ihnve changed among shooting men during 'the last, forty years." ; In a neat mahoifany case, which the 'dealer plaeed on tho counter lay two siniflc-barrelled pistols. Tho barrels were a foot lotiir. The bore was a half inch in diameter. Barrels, locks and stocks were, elaborately mid tastefully tnffraved by hand. Tho stocks were pe culiar in shape in that n horn projected so a to (it between the thumb and the rest of tho hand and keep tho weapon from jumping up when fired. There was a circle of steel in the case that was I for cutting patches for the round ball iUscd in loading tho pistol. Bullet : moulds were also in place, and a pow jder flask and cap box as well. It was a Ifirst-class duelling o .tnt. ! "They arc for sale," said the dealer, ."because duelling is out of fashion. They cost, a lot of money when new, and lit will rake f 25 now to buy tho outfit. IForty vears jo no other sort of a wea- Ipon was uscit in the shooting galleries. 1 he gallery man loaded the weapons and gave the word as if a duel was in pro gress, and the would-be expert fired at Ithe outline of a man placed twelve paces away. Although revolvers were invented before the date I speak of, tho duelling jpistol held its own in tho shooting gal leries until nftcr the war. . "While shooting men cling to the (duelling pistol for gallery practice, in an ticipation of needing a knowledge of it Isomc time, they could not carry such a 'weapon around with them. The der ringer was accordingly brought out as a Ipocket pistol. It was a short weapon, Ithe barrel being but inches long, but Kn the hands of tho old-time gamblers on "the Mississippi steamboats it was a dead jly weapon. They often fought duels iwith derringers, while in hand to-hnnd Iconflicts derringers were invariably used jif any weapon besides a bowie knife were 'drawn. "Of course the fact that the derringer Iliad but one charge was noted. To make iup for this two were carried. Theu Idonblc-harreled derringers were intro duced, one barrel beside the other, as in a shotgun. The flash pans were on top ktl tho barrels. It was elaborately cu 'graved, but it was about as unhandy a weapon to get out of a man's pocket in a jhurry as could well be imagined. Jinny of tho double-barreled weupons had 'bronze barrels, and just before the war it was a common thing for funny writers to ircfer to double-barreled brass pistols as ;the type of untrustworthiness. These weapons were generally of Belgian make 'and never had an extended side. "All this time the makers of revolvers Ibad been pushing the sale of their weap ons, but when one of these old revolvers lis looked at now one docs not wonder ithat the derringer held its own. The irevolvers were larger and heavier than duelling pistols, and were of use only on the frontier. "On the frontier they were, of course, 'rapidly adopted, and, because of the fact that loading the cylinders with powder and ball was a slow process, the shooting men carried extra cylinders ready loaded, which were substituted for empty ones in time of need. I "The invention of metal cartridges was a great thing for pistol makers. Many curious weapons were brought out (during the war. One of the most novel ;was a three-barreled weapon with the barrels arrauged vertically one above the other, whilo a substantial bowie blade jcould be slid out beyond the muzzles on occasions. The blade was fixed there !by a spring, and the empty pistol then .became a wicked knife. The double barreled derringer of the present time, rwith the barrels one on top of the other, was evolved from this idea. "After metal cartridges were adopted the production of light and efficient revol vers became possible, and no end of styles 'were brought out. The good revolver proved so efficient that the use of derrin igers dropped almost entirely. There is lonly one firm now engaged in making derringers, and the demand scarcely jus tifies them in continuing the style. Where every gentleman once carried a brace, very few shooting men would now take one as a gift, save as a curiosity. And yet for a man in close quarters no wea pon is quite so efficient as the big-bored derringer. "After the war the popularity of the )duel, save only in isolated districts, was gone, and the use of duelling pistols even tin shooting galleries was abandoned. Re volvers became the popular weapons even In galleries. But all this time a couple tot firms were manufacturing a single barreled pistol that was much like the 'old duelling pistol in shape and weight, and yet used the convenient metal car tridge. Because these single-barreled Weapons were extremely accurate and the cartridges were cheap, say $2.50 a thou sand, tno single-barreled target pistol ihas at least held on to the esteem of enough sporting men to warrant the con unuunce oi lis inanuiaciure. mere are indications of a growth of popularity in the future. There are several features of the target pistol that especially commend It to the better class of sportsmen, the letter class, as I understand the term, in cluding all who pride themselves more on one head of game killed clean by skillful shooting than on a score slaughtered by portable cannon. Asrifles among these men increase in popularity they will turn to the target pistol to replace, or at least go wan, the ritle lor small game." Brainy But Bashful.

One of the latest social innovations, says an English paper, is the female but ler, a parlor maid in livery. A, good looking girl in livery of dark blue, green and gold, or scarlet and white looks very smart, and the waiting is, as a rule, douo more quietly and deftly than by a man. This opens out a new field of employment for women. Ilts Grandpa Got Even. "It is hard to fix the exact date when a man forgets that he ever was a boy, but it is usually about the time his oldest son's two boys get big enough to cut up and be sassy to their gran'ther. That was the time my grandfather forgot, said a man on tho row the other even ing to a Washington Pott reporter. "My brother Lew and myself used to go to an uncle up in Bucks County where the old gentleman lived. He was nearly eighty, weighed over two hundred, walked heavily with a cane and was the crossest man 1 ever saw. His particular delight was in whacking us boys with his cane when we got within reach, and running us down to the .neighbors. '"Them boys o' Lewis's air a leetle the wust, most wuthless cubs I ever seen,' he would say. "n e had a pet coon. It was funnier than a cageful of monkeys. One day it got into the old gentleman's early vege table garden and dug up some cucumber vines. He caught it by the chain and broke its back with his cane. We had to have revcuge. It was a plain case of murder. That coon was in our eyes more of a human being and a good deal more of a Christian than he was. Gran'ther had a habit of going down to the meadow and sitting on the top rail oi the fence to watch the men make hay. We sawed his pet rail half through and loosened the rider stakes. When he sat down the whole business gave away ' and he went over into a big briar patch. ' My aunt put in a half day picking splinters out of him. We were hustled off out of sight for a week while he spread over the town his version of our attempt upon his life. "Every evening tho old fellow would sit in the chimney nook, and sip a pint of hot rum and water. At 9 o'clock my aunt and uncle would each take a side and help him off to bed. He snored like distant thunder. If he were touched he would stop snoring for a half hour. Our room was on the same floor. One night I couldn't stand his terrible roof raising racket. So I got up, found a ball of twine, unrolled a hundred feet, made a slipnoose in one end and fastened it to the old gentleman's big toe, carrying the free end to my own room. Then jumping into bed, when gran'ther snored I gave the string a tug aud he would stop. It was very funny. "I felt quite pleased at my invention. Gran'ther was an early riser. He woke up next morning about 5 o'clock and found the string tied to his toe. He got his cane and went on the trail. It led to my room, and the other end was knotted to my wrist. " 'Whack, whack, whatk, whack 1' "I got at least a dozen good blows all over my eyes and body before I could wake and 3scape from the bedclothes and that hardwood cane. I was covered with black and blue welts for a week, and the old gentleman was happy for at least three davs." A Contented People. "The most contented people I saw in Europe," says an American traveler, "were the Austriaus, and they are the most intelligent. They have more pub ljf libraries than any people in the world and they have a good Government almost the same as a Kepublican Gov ernment. They have a beautiful country and a delightful climaie, and they look happy and contented.", THE FARM and gardf.x. tVTUn AYR CT THB 8TXUt.ES. Now that horses will be stabled at' night, or should be, the most perfect, cleanliness should be observed. The' floors, if of wood, should be frequently drenched with water, and then sprinkled with finely ground gypsum (plaster), by which the strong, pungent odor common1 to stables will bo neutralized and ab sorbed. This strong odor of ammonia,' which often pains tho eyes and nostrils of a man, is exceedingly injurious to horses. It rots leather and corrodes varnish, and what must bo its effect on the eyes and lungs of tho horses confined in it Muring whole nights? Foul air promotes glau ders, farcy, blindness, iniluenza, pneu monia, heaves, all common diseases of horses; and tho acrid manure in which horses are compelled to stand causes not only this injurious vapor but rots tho hoofs and irritates the skin. American Agriculturist. VAlltOrS BRKKDS OF SHEEP. Having bred various breeds of Bhecp, says a writer in Breeders' Gatette, a littU experience on paper may be of use to somobody. My experience has been in Central Ohio, with tho exception of a few loads sent into Texas, to which I da not care to allude. I commenced with fine wools, and wishing to improve tin stock, bought of tho Vermont sheep called Spanish merinos. After engaging in that fine class of sheep I was never rid of the foot-rot until I got rid of the sheep. Afterward the Cotswold cam into vogue, aud a littlo importation from Canada made themselves very pompom for a year or two. They were big, fat fellows, but in a year or two some ol them began to dwindle, and after that they never could recover, and dwindled down to nothing. I tried crossing them with blackfaces and they did better. I have tried Southdowns, which seem to do well, and are an excellent mutton sheep. Their wool is short and foi keeping fat easy there is nothing that ex cels them. Tho Shropshire this season seoms to fill the demand better than the Southdowns, at least in this locality. A neighbor has French merinos aud teems to be well satisfied with them. A Shrop shire ram happened to get into his flock, and the result was a few half-breeds, which the neighbor says aro perfect sheep. I have tried crossing Southdowns and Shropshires with a Hampshire ram with very satisfactory results. The Shropshire lamb well treated will weigh one hundred to ono hundred and fifty pounds at eight months old. A Shrop shire fleece will weigh eight to ten pounds. LEAKS OS THE FAIt.VT. The leaks in the roofs of the farm build ings are not all that many farmers havo to contend with. We see many farmers buying high-priced implements, and when through using them for the season leaving them where Inst used, either in furrow or in the stubbleficld, until wanted the next spring, and losing val uable timo in going to the shop for re pairs, or, what is worse, going to the store for new ones. Huve a place or shelter for every machine, aud when the hired help or the owner himself is through using, put it in tho place as signed for it. Some will say that takes time. To be sure it does; but is it not better to have tools that are fit to use at any time than it is to stop the team when busy to go to town to get them fixed and thereby cause a leak in the poeketbook? Again, many will keep scrub stock and breed from year after year because the owners of tho blooded stock ask too high a price for the servicq of their stock. Then, you may see, on riding through the country, dilapidated buildings, and the owner will say he is not able to repair them, but on inquiry you will find that he will spend enough money for whisky and tobacco to keep them in good repair. Another leak is the hiring of cheap help, mere eye ser vants, and leaving theiu to the work, while the proprietor is in town talking pclv itics or sitting on the fence discussing neighborhood gossip with some one as shiftless as himself. These are but a few of the leaks that might be mentioned, for pages might be filled in enumerating the things, both small and great, that keep the farmer plodding along, always in debt and eternally growling about hard times. Western I'ioicman. TREATMENT OF MILCH COWS, Nearly every dairy has its quotum of kicking cows, and every cow in tho land, says George E. Newell in the American. Agriculturist, is liable to switch her tail across a milker's face during fly time. The human irritation aroused thereby re buts on the herd to its positive injury. There are two classes of kicking cows those habitually inclined that way, like a balky horse, and those that only use their rear hoofs in an offensive man ner to resent fancied or real provocation. Nothing but the gentlest aud kindest treatment should rule in the dairy; so, to cure a cow of this disagreeable habit, a brusque manner should be avoided. To milk an inveterate kicktr, treat her as you would a heifer. Give her no chance whatever to use her heels. Put a broad strap around her hind legs over the gara brels, and. drawing theiu snugly together, buckle it tight. Place her in a stanchion next to the wall, and from a ring in the latter let a long strap depend, which, after passing around her right flunk, draw taut to the stanchion braces near her head. The cow is then practically helpless so fur as any vicious manifesta tions are concerned. Sit down quietly to milk her, aud speak soothingly and reassuringly. If the cow struggles to free herself, calm her fears with a gentlo pat of the hand and a persuasive tone of voice. Milk her in the same place and under the same restraint day after day, and in a few weeks or months she can be cured of kicking. The meekest cows sometimes temporarily contract the habit of kicking in defense of abuse front sumo senseless milker. Treat them impassion ately and be perfectly indillereut to their tendency to be light heeled. In a very short time they will be permanently cured. If cows switch their caudul ap-. pendages in your face in an attempt to brush olf flics, don't anrjjutate the ollend j ing members, as some do, but allix to the ' side of the milking stool a short strip of tough wood, divided by a spring slit, after the manner of a strictured clothes pin. Have the opening of the slit turned, backward aud iuto it; when sitting down to milk druw the-brush of the cow's tail. Cow's tails should never be cut olf, as it is a wicked brutul custom, depriving the animal of its means of self-defense against) insects. Humanity and kiudnesj go as) far in making adajry profitable as nutri-) i tious food. NEWS ANP NOTES FOR WOMEN. "Sunshine yellow" is the latest. Knamcled jewelry, which is now made perfection, is as popular as ever. Irish poplins in light evening colors will be worn for dressy occasions. Mrs. J. Redding, editor of the Art Journal, is an expert bicyclo rider. Miss Olive Schrciner, tho novelist, pro poses to come to America next year. Mmc. Marches!, tho famous teacher of singing in Paris, has written her memoirs. There are 62,000 women in the United States interested in tho cultivation of fruit. The free public library nt Concord, N. If., is to have a statue of the late Louis M. Alcott. An English lady has left 50,000 to be devoted to photographing tho stars, planets, aud nebulip. A handkerchief in the possession of the Dzarina is said to have cost $2500. It look seven years to make it. Queen Louise, of Denmark, the mother f the Princess of Wales, has just passed acr seventy-second birthday. Miss Toki Mardira, the daughter of one of tho highest families iu Japan, has do 5idcd to take tho veil in Munich. There is an impression that the social ind matrimonial success of the American girl in England has been curtailed. Cornell University has opened the now year with 1400 studcuts in all, tho num ber of women showing a relative increase. rnsscmentcrio and silk cord ornaments, although not new, are of greater impor tance at the present timo than evor be fore. For bonnets and bonnet trimmings, for wraps and parts of dresses, shot vel velts, both figured aud plain, will be iu order. The fashion of women wearing the single eyeglass has been started in Lon dou. It is chiefly affected by theatrical people. Miss Wheeler, of Philadelphia, who is engaged to Count Poppcnhein, of Ba varia, is only eighteen years cf age aud very rich. rands for dress skirts are in what are known as Tower Eiffel designs, very broad at the foot and tapering to nearly a point nt the top. Newly imported costumes of vcrj beautiful silky gray India cashmere art elegantly decorated with silk cord Escu rial passementeries. Miss Joanna Baker has been appointee' to tho chair of Greek at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa. Her father occupie the position seventeen years ago. Shot velvets, figured and plain, and shot moire ribbons, arc likely to be mucb used forpartsof dresses and of wrnps, aud for boauets and their trimmings. The velvet brocades introduced this season for dresses aro very beautiful. In mauy instances these will bo used for the front breadth only, in others for the trains. Long cloaks that drape the figure loosely and are finished with nearly round shoulder capes nre called Crsuline cloaks, and coma in dark-colored camel's hair cloth. It is predicted that black dresses will be worn more this winter than they have of late, and some handsome models are shown, suitable for both young and elderly ladies. Green still remains a favorite color for dressy street costumes, and there are many combinations of green with other colors, notably apricot, peach, Suede and copper red. Miss Ying, the daughter of tho new Chinese Minister to this country, is a pretty girl of sixteen. She has the blackest of hair and eyes and a creamy complexion. It is predicted that Miss Wanaraaker, daughter of the Postmaster-General, will be a prominent belle in Washington this winter. Her good sense and winning manners aro her charms. Luce hats and bonnets once reserved "Tor mid summer are now just the thing for haif-scason wear. Flowers or silver liligree or fine cut steel are the most itylish ornaments for them. The insatiate demand for small presents in silver has met with a wonder ous variety of patterns in tho form of book marks and envelope openers, which sell from $1 to $5 a piece. Tho "rcefor," in blue, mahogony or Roman red cloth, will be a popular jacket for youthful wearers during the entire autumn, and liko models in heavy cloak ing goods are also made ready for winter uses. Animals Recognize Pictures. Thirty years ago, says a correspondent at Oxford, England, I was staying at Langley, near Chippenham, with a lady who was working a large screen, on which she depicted in "raised" work (as it was then called) a life-sized cat on a cushion. The host, a sportsman now dead, was much struck with the similarity to life of the cat, so he fetched his dog (alas ! like too mauy of the species), a cat-hater. The animal uiade a dead set at the (wool) cat, and, but for the master clutch ing him by the collar, the cushion would have been torn into atoms. I related this tale lately in Oxford, aud my hearer told rne that a friend in the Bevington road hud just painted a bird on a fire-screen and her cat flew at it. My own dog, Scaramouch (a pet of the Duke of Albany's iu his uuder-graduate days), disliked being washed, and when I showed him a large picture of a child scrubbing a fox terrier iu a tub, he turned his head away ruefully and would not look at his brother iu adversity. The Vanderbiits own several farms, and each one is conducted on strict busi ness principles and an account kept of all expenses aud income.
