To' the' 1-,6ind of the _layman, who has gone no further into the art of Witr thf0 tO know that nowadays the side which kills the greater number of men wins in almost every fight, humanity as a consid- eration in the matter of bullets is an an- omaly, in itself -ridiculous. In spite a thisthe nioral principle cited has played a very considerable part in the arming of our foot soldiers and, as said by an army officer has eau:Jed much comment that has belen unfavorable to the United States No ordnance officer will admit that the criticism is altogether just when applied 'to the arms and bullets authorlied for the nee of the infantry, and when it comes to other nations having better arms and more effective bullets than we have, he says "No t" emphatically. bullet mangles the body of a man whom it kills," said an officer skilled in the sol - mace of bullet- malting, "for one dead man is just as dead as another. The question is, How far will a bullet go and to what extent dons its couree and speed depend upon its shape? The power of penetration comes under the same head, but that is governed partly by the material of which it is mada, . "It took s good many years for us to discover that a bullet made entirely of lead.; iWas limited in penetrating power. Every 'officer in the army and navy knew thiit steel would pierce any substance to a greater depth than lead, but whoever thought of using it for small bullets in preference to the' softer metal until the rnaii who discorered the advantages of a rifled bore found also that the leaden bul- .1atie, stuck in the barrel and frequently iruide the bre&th of a gun quite as danger- ous as the muzzle? The revolution began then, and at the present time it has gone • so far that while there aro advantages of a kind on the side of the explosive bullet tad the meshroom bullet, the United States government does not ince the kind. •`'Vhe question has been asked repeated- ly why the United States have not adopted these more destructive bullets, and upon this the many adverse criticisms have been based. Any bullet will kill when it hits In the right spot, and, that being ma, cepted, the at conditions to be met are' those of gotti g the bullet that goes the straightest and the greatest distance. §pecd c.arries a bullet to the greatest dis- tance, and if you. have in youe bullet a material which offers the greatest resist- ance to 'an opposing force thee problem, is "It•was found early in _the life of the rifle that lead was necessary to give ft hula 'let the weight required to make it effect- ive, and then the jacket bullet of steel filled with lead became aefact. The force being supplied to carry this bullet two miles and more when sent at a dead level, the ingenuity of man found anothei field, "Inventors vied with each other in mak- ing the most destmictive bullets; but, aft- er all, not one has made a- bullet which Will kill more than one man at a tine() unless ethey happen to be in line, so, tlaat the bullet having passed-thrtiugh one man can keep on until_its force is spent. There. you have come to force again just where you started. „ The officers who have had the small firearm and its bullets' under consideration for years have thought an this out, and out of the fifty odd bullets , whioh have been invented since the war of the rebellidn they have chosen the best. By the best I mean the onto that will go the forth°. t a straight line and at the end of its journey retain the greatest penetrative power. "It is not human to mangle a man juit 1 for the sake of making the horrors of war more hideous, but it is human to get him out of the fight and give him a chance to live afterward if it newt be done. It is sense, too, for in these times, when nearly • all nations have improved arms at their disposal, each one may- do unto his enemy just what his enenay will do unto him." That is one side of the question and when the United States government found ought to in the matter of speed and accura- cy it accepted it with the rifle for which it was made. This happened when the Krag- Jorgensen rifle and bullet were adopted. An the imProvements which 'have been naade in this giun and projectile since that time hate been adopted as they have mime..

The rangeof the honeybee is but little understood by the masses, many supposing that bens go for miles in quest of n e Jar, while others think that they go only a short distance. It may be curious to many to urrderstand how any one can tell how far the bees may fly, but this is simple when understood. Years ago, when the Italian bees vyer.e first introduced in the United States, these !sees having inarkg different from the common bees already here, they were easily distinguished, and after any beekeeper had obtained the Ital- ian bees they could be observed and their range easily noticed. If bloom is plentiful close where bees are located, they will not go very far, perhaps a mile in range, but if bloom is, scarce they Tmay go five :.-ilea. Usually about three miles is as far as they may go profitably. ' Bees have been known to go as far as eight miles in a straight line, crossing a body of water that distance to land. It is wonderful how the little honeybee can go • heavy, resembling' guipure, and are in ; so far from its holne and ever find its way widths of from 2 to 10 inches. back to its own- particular hive.

A matter to make a point of is the con- stantly increasing admiration° for the the little bee is out of its home or hive the hive should be moved some°10 or 20 feet, according tothe surroundings, when it .came back to where its home was first lo- cated it would be hopelessly lost. If its home was in an open space, with no other objects close, itmight sled its way home, but even should. the hive be moved only s few feet many of the bees would get lost. • So to move a hive, it done in the win ubiquitous color note of orange yellow, this striking tint obtaining prominence in ter time, it would=be all right, but if in a hat or bodice trimmings on quite a third the summer time A should bo done after of the stylish gowns worn at noted water- dark or when the bees are not flying, and ing places. e • I wren then the beeshould be stirred up In spite of the facto that all sorts!and some,and smoke blov�n in at the hive en- conditions of skirt_ decorations, :draperies, tranco and a board or some object placed overdresses -and overskirt effects, both long in front of thei h so that the bees in and short, have been developed,, there will coming out may mask their new location. be a rather, general adherence' or return Roes no doubt are guided by sight and also next season_ to the plain, perfectly hung sense of smell.

WHY HE DIDN'T BID UP. /\ neris For Auction Sales. • There was a red flag out in front of a farmhouse up in the Swift river region in Oxford the other day when Burns Was driving past the place. He can never get I by an auction sate. There is something 1,f about a bargain at vendue that strikes him just where he lives. So Burns hitched his horse and stopped on theOutskirts of the crowd. He „remembered that at the last auction ho attended he bought two pod augers and an 02C yoke, and this Mine he steeled himself lest he might* commit similar egregiousness. In. fact, he con- cluded that he wouldn't bid at all. But when the crowd got well waked up over a Jersey heifer Borns chipped in a bid or two and finally got to going hard. 'against a red whiskered man who carried a whip in his left hand and. expectorated violently after every bid. As the contest waxed somewhat ener- getic Balls reached for his pocketbook. His fingers ran down and down into his trobsers pocket until they slid into a, good big hole. The pocicetbook was gone. You who have found holes in your pockets where wallets ought te. be- can, in some measure, appreciate Burns' feelings. He stopped bidding, and while the red whiekered man, still expeotorating, was paying down an installment on the heifer Burns pushed forward through the crowd and got th; auctioneer's ear. That func- tionary lis ned- intently. Then he arose ' erect once snore and in his professional drone commenced: 7 "This gentleman informs rUe that he has lost a pocketbook containing the snm of $200. He offers the sum of $10 for its return. Now''— • Whole grain does not compact in the' crop so closely as soft food, which is important. Late molting weakens the constitution at a time when vigor is of the greatest im- portance. In summer especially the drinking ves- sels should be scalded out regularly onceS week at least. One advantage with the large breeds is that they are usually good mothers and are easily confined. Mark the chickenaeach year so that you can know their age and sell or ,kill them - after their third year. In a coop of mixed fowls a few good ones add nothing to the selling price of the lot. Grading is best in selling. It is not the turkeys of the largest size that bring the highest prices but those of medium size that are in a goisd. condition. When feeding grain to fowls, -scatter it well.

The evolution of the taillet was marked . by one radical change, but since then the changes have beentof minor importance, After the steel jack4t had been accepted for the bullet other nations conceived the idea of, making the lip of the steel jacket as thin as paper, So that the impact be- tween it and the hulman body would spread the lead and have .an effeet almost equal to the explosive lau let.
