time. Apply warm, and do not use the aquarium for several 
days. 
E. J. S., MoVeytown, Pa,—I have just come into possession of a 
coach dog (not full blooded); Can it be trained for hunting, tricks, 
etc, ? About what age should the training begin ? Tt is a bitoh ; 
bow soon should she be altered ? She is now about five weeks old. 
Ans. The dog could probably be taught triekg but would most 
likely bo useless for hunting. Begin training at six months. If 
she is to be spayed it should be done at once. 
W. C. W., Monroe, N. C.—1. The comparative advantages of pin 
and central fire guns are these: Pin shows at glance when gun is 
loaded. But it is clumsy. Mere question of hammerand plunger. 
Read “ Gloan ” on Breech-loader. Simple fact that pin-fires are 
superseded by central fires is sufficient demonstration of superi¬ 
ority of latter. 2. We do not trouble to reload paper shells. 
Brass shells may be reloaded twenty times. Then throw them 
away to preventaccidents. 
F. H. B.—The sailing ruleisindistinctly worded and can be taken 
to mean one thing as well as another. “ Yachts must be comman¬ 
ded and sailed by the owner or owners of such yacht.’ ’ The spirit of 
this rule we take to bethatthe ownermust take general charge and 
holdtbetfiler or the wheel, but the words “sailed by” do not 
strictly convey that meaning, for a vessel maybe “■ sailed by ” her 
captain, without bis taking physical bold of anything. Better have 
the rule amended to read “ steered by.” 
Sport, Pittsburg, Pa.—Who owned the setter dog Bismarck, 
his pedigree, etc.? How old was ho when he died ? When did his 
death occur and how? Ans. Bismarok was owned by Air. David 
Brooks of Philadelphia. He was whelped on April 1, 1868, at 
Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was sired by a red Irish setter dog brought 
to Iowa by an Englishman, out of a white Belton hitch imported 
by a gentleman of Cedar Rapids. He died in Philadelphia in No¬ 
vember, 1875, being smothered to death in an express car. 
Buffalo, Buffalo.—What shall I do to cure my setter puppy, 
six months (fid, of weakness in his hindquarters; he has a good 
appetite and seems in good health. If he tries to turn around 
quickly his back-legs give way and he falls. Has been in that 
condition for two or three weeks, Ans. See that the dog’s kennel 
is clean ana perfectly dry at all times. Rub him around the loins 
twice a day with some simple liniment and give him a tablespoon¬ 
ful of cod liver oil night and morning. 
A., Richmond Va.—There are three prizes to be thrown for 
with.dl.ee, and are classed as first, second and third prizes. The 
first goes to the best throw, the second to the next best and the 
third to the next best. A, B and C each throw 43; D, E and F, 38 ; 
L, M and N, 35. I hold that A, B and C are entitled to the three 
prizes. If the solution seems different to you be kind enough to 
state the reasons ? Ans. You are right; A, B and C throw again 
to determine which of them shall have first, second and third 
prizes. 
W. C. P., East Saginaw, Mich.—1. W hat. would be the expense-of 
a week’s fishing among the Thousand Islands exclusive of rail¬ 
road tare? 2. What would be the necessary tackle for such fish¬ 
ing? 8. Is not the fishing a few miles out better than it is in the 
Bay? 4. When is the best fishing? Ans. i. About $4 per day, in¬ 
cluding guide, bait, hotel, etc. 2. Rods, reels, files, spoons, Hues, 
minnows, landing net. 3. The boatmen will tell you where to 
fish. 4. Previous to and after August.
