OLD FASHIONED SHOOTING.
Tha Record of Lord Malmesbury and
Slow Firing Gun*.
The second Lord Malnic-hnry. be?
tides being one of the beet ihotl of
his day, was without rpiestion the
most painstaking and careful chron?
icler of his sport who arer fired a
gun. For forty seasons, ending
with the year 11*40. lie kept a rec?
ord of every cartridge ho fired and
the result of the shot?a feat which
may have a parallel, hut il hardly
likely to Ix- beaten. He fired in nil
-; shots mul accounted for 38,
454 head of game, besides 480
which he did not add to bia figures;
Ihev were the birds he killed when
he hit more than one with the same
A- for walking, there never
wa* such an untiring pursuer of
every bird and beast that could be
entered in a game book. He calcu?
lated that he was out for four boon
a day for ninety days in the year,
which made 14,480 hour.-.' walking
in fortv years, and since be walked
at. the rate of two and a half niile
an hour he remarks that in all he
mutt have covered 36,800 mile.-.
"very nearly once and a half the cir?
cumference of the globe." lb
never in bed for ? day and not thir?
ty dav- confined to the boote b
trident or illness, though, to be sure,
hil violent exercise affected his
heart, and lie died at sixty-four.
The list of his hits and ruittet are
particularly interesting when you
compare his records of -hot- gt birds
like snipe and Woodcock, which were
as difficult to hit in hia day as they
are in ours, with the kind of figures
which would be likely or possible
with modern guns. Tn the .-??
1819-20, for butane*, Lord Mal?
mesbury fired eighty-three shots nt
woodcock and bagged forty-five, and
out of 111 shots at snipe he actual?
ly got*?!'', which i- somewhat better
than one out of two. Any snipe
shot today would be pleated with a
record of three out of five, taking
the wilder, twistier snipe of tatt
tumn and winter with the home
bred snipe killed in August and Sep?
tember. Von read theta wooral
and those of men like John Mytton,
who would make a point of invari?
ably killing fifty brace of part
to his own gun on the first day of
tho season, and wonder how with
their slow firing guns and their bad
shot patterns thev managed to kill
even one bird in four. "A gun
never shoots twice alike," Colonel
Hawker wrote, and he shot with the
bett guns he could buy. How did
they manage it ?
Somehow, with guns which their
great-grandchildren would not bur?
den a keeper with, they did contrive
to shoot as well as we do, and some?
how the pictures made of them
while they were shooting give you
the idea that they enjoyed the
shooting more.?London Spectator.
?-,?,
Francis Tact.
A pleasant story is told of how
one of the Dukes de Xivernois show?
ed himself willing to forgive and
forget. His olive branch was ex?
tended with characteristic French
wit and grace.
The Count de Tressan was elected
to thc French academy in 1780. He
was surprised to learn that the Duke
de Xivernois, whote enemy lie had
been and against whom he had once
directed a scathing epigram, had
spoken in his favor. Ho hastened
to call on him and thank him.
The conversation turned on gen?
eral subjects, and De Tressan found
no opportunity to refer to the past
or to make the embarrassed apology
which he would no doubt have of?
fered but for his host's tact. Just
as he was leaving the duke 6aid,
with a mischievous but kindly smile:
"Ah, monsieur, you see how in
growing old I have lost mv mem?
ory." -_?
Tennyson In Playful Mood.
Tennyson's simplicity would some?
times find vent in almost boyish
freaks. One evening, at Farring
ford, he was seized with the idea
that he would like to dress up one
of Mrs. Cameron's nieces in the
garb of a man. He got one of his
own long coats from the hall and
with a burned cork disfigured her
pretty face, daubing upon it a heavy
black mustache and imperial, and
then retreated to the other side of
the room to gaze with manifest de?
light upon the result of his handi?
work. ? From "Some Early Victo?
rians," by J. Comyns Carr.
What Th*y Wara Doing.
There ia a government official in
Washington to whom an unneces?
sary or inane question is as a red
rag to a bull.
Last summer he made his usual
trip to Europe. On the first day out
from New \ ork he was strolling on
the promenade deck when suddenly
there appeared before him a man
whom he had not seen for years.
"Why, professor!" exclaimed the
man. "To meet you, of all men!
Are you going across ?"
"Yes!*" growled the professor
?""Are you ?"?Harper's Weekly.

one one night thal heats them all.

stole softly downstairs and had hil

College Life In 1353.
A lettor written hy a student in
the medical school of the University
of ICchigan in IMU tells of the
cost of living in those days. The
writer -
"It will cost mc much more to
live in Ann Arbor than I anticipated
owin^' principally to the high price
of pl I eannot tell yet
what it will cost to hoard myself,
but think that I cannot safely esti?
mate it at less than $1 per week for
rirovisions, besides room rent, fuel,
ights, etc., which will swell the
amount to at least $1.50. The stu?
dents generally, so far as I have as?
certained, pay from $1.50 to $1.75
per week for table board, and $2
seems to be about as low as good
board can be obtained, including
room, fuel, lights, etc."?Michigan
