Mr. Marble, the president of the Marble Safety 

 Axe Company, takes a personal interest in every 

 article that the company puts on the market. He 

 has spent a greater part of the past twenty-five 

 years in the open, mostly in the Northwestern 

 States. Every man who works under him must 

 be a sportsman. It is a work of love with each 

 individual, and, whether he makes a hunting knife, 

 an axe, a sight or a compass, he gives the best 

 work that he is capable of. This is why " Marble " 

 goods are in such demand. Don't forget the ad-

The last hunting season in the Highlands of 

 Ontario was a good one. We are informed by the 

 statistician of the Grand Trunk Railway that 



6,425 licenses were issued. It is estimated thai 

 12,000 deer were killed during the fifteen days 

 of the open season, which began November I. 

 One hundred and fifty moose are known to have 

 been shot. This is a heavy increase over the pre- 

 ceding year, when but 22 heads were secured. 

 It is thought that the opening of the Temiskaming 

 & Northern R. R. was the cause of this greater 

 success, as the best of the Tern garni district is now 

 easily reached by way of the Temiskaming & 

 Northern. The deer and moose in the Highlands 

 of Ontario are increasing, owing to better pro- 

 duction. 



Schoverling, Daly & Gales, of 302 Broadway, 

 New York City, are just issuing a list of gun bar-

 $3-5° to $350. These are odd guns which they 

 have in stock, in addition to which they carry not 

 less than 10,000, at all times, and even as many as 

 20,000 guns at certain seasons. This is a large stock 

 and the most particular sportsman should be able 

 to find in this assortment a gun to his liking. 



Grand Imperial Sec and Brut champagnes, the 

 principal products of the celebrated Germania 

 Wine Cellars at Hammondsport and Rheims, 

 N. Y., are coming more and more into public

favor. American champagne has won a justly 

 merited position beside that of the imported wines, 

 and for purity, excellence and flavor the Germania 

 Cellar output is all that could be required even by 

 the most exacting of connoisseurs. The pure 

 grape wines and fine brandies produced by the 

 Germania Cellars are also of a high-grade and 

 greatly in demand.
