The Bridgeport Gun Implement Co. 

 has issued a catalogue that is a whole store- 

 house of information for people interested 

 in golf. It treats of golf sticks, balls, pole 

 cutters, ball cleaners, pole markers and 

 flags, and gives several pages of instruc- 

 tions to beginners in golf, which must be 

 of great value to this class. 



The catalogue is handsomely illustrated 

 with cuts of the goods described, and of 

 houses and grounds of several prominent 

 golf clubs. If you are fond of golf send for 

 this catalogue, mentioning Recreation. 



If you wish information, explanations or 

 formulas relating to photography don't 

 hesitate to say so. I am always glad to 

 answer questions. 



TO TAN BUCK SKIN. 



Tie 2 deer brains up in a rag and boil in 

 2 gallons of water. Add y 2 bar of laundry 

 soap; 3 tablespoonfuls of salt and 3 table- 

 spoonfuls of oil, or tallow. Boil and skim 

 until clear. Then rub the brains through 

 the rag into the liquid. When lukewarm 

 put in the hides and allow them to soak 24 

 to* 48 hours. Then hang them up until 

 dry and break them by drawing them over 

 the edge of a 'board, or over an old shovel 

 blade. 



If there are then any hard places soak 

 them another day. They will be soft as 

 silk and white, when well broken. You can 

 tan with hair on if desired, though it 

 usually takes twice as long. This is the 

 easiest and best process for brain tan I 

 have ever tried. M. W. M., York, Neb. 



Elmer McDowell, of Ellensburg, caught 425 trout 

 in Menastash canyon, a few days ago. 



Spokane (Washington) paper. 



If this be true then Elmer is another of 

 the razor backs who have shown up in such 

 alarming numbers within the past 2 years. 

 The sheriff should put a ring in Elmer's 

 nose too. — Editor. 



Miriam — Did you take the picture of the 

 young man on the mantel? 



Mildred— Yes. 



Miriam — Friend of yours, I suppose? 



Mildred — Well, he was before I took the 

 picture. — Yonkers Statesman.
