"What's the matter of Lige ?" moans the maiden. "The 

 matter of him ? Ez if you didn't know that Lige Kilso was 

 25 year old, and that he didn't have one solitary single dog- 

 no, not even so much ez a pup — to his name, nor airy fiddle 

 to his back. D'ye forget that ? An' if yer half ez smart ez 

 ye might be you kin marry Buck Daggs, an' he's got nine 

 good dogs, full growed, and two splendid pups, an' four as 

 good fiddles ez they is a-goin'. No, my darter, I ain't no de- 

 sires to be what you may call mershenary, but when a gal 

 has a chance ter marry rich, let her do it, sez I." — Tid Bits. 



Our most assiduously fashionable girls are not shooting

 and she never returns without something in it; but there is 

 a scandalous rumor that the dead warblers are bought ready- 

 shot from boys who make a good income transiently out of 

 the fad.— New York Letter. 



■'Maw," said a gentle, confiding Arkansas maiden of 19 

 summers, "Lige Kilso have asked me to marry him." "He 

 have ?" asked maw, in tones foreboding trouble! "Yes, maw; 

 an' I said as how I reckoned I would. " "'You did, hey ? Wal,

This cut shows No. 1-0 (or Black Bass size) with living Minnow attached. 

 MANUFACTURED IN ALL SIZES FROM No. 5-0 TO No. 4, SUITABLE FOR 



Muskallonge, Pickerel, Black Bass, Lake Trout, Etc., Etc. 



All have patent treble hook with baiting needle, adjustable lip hook and treble swivel, and best silk metal wound gimp. 



This is the most ingenious invention and radical improvement in trolling tackle yet made. Its manifest superiority to all gangs now in use is evident 

 to every expert angler. A few of its peculiar excellencies are:— It is the only gang on which a bait can live. It is the only gang which can be adjusted to 

 any sized minnow instantly and perfectly. It is not only the simplest but also the strongest gang made. It does not scare away the big and wary fish by a 

 long array of treble hooks. The treble swivel insures perfect revolution of bait and reduces to the lowest possible point the liability of kinking the line.

Have the pleasure to announce they have opened an agency for the sale oi their well-known Smokeless, Sporting Powder, the 



GRANULATED WATERPROOF 



Gunpowder, 



At VON LENGERKH & DETMOLD, lib, 8 Murray Street, New York, 



Where it may be obtained at WHOLESALE OR RETAIL. Price, ¥1.00 the canister, equal to 1 lb. Curtis's & Harvey No. 4 Black. Dealers' discount on application. 



The Schultze Gunpowder has firmly established itself in England and on the European continent as excelling aU rivals, giving GREATER PENETRATION, CLOSER PATTERN, LESS 

 RECOIL, LESS SMOKE, LESS FOULING than any other powder, it has no prejudicial effect upon the barrel, and is practically unaffected by damp. Charge as compared with best black powder 

 equal by measure or half by weight. It is loaded with the utmost ea«e exactly as black powder. It requires no ramming or pressure m loading. American cartridge manufacturers are now 

 experimenting with a view' to issue a primer of the same strength as the EDglish primers to do away with any possible slow fire or the necessity for priming with a tew grams of fine black powder. 



As regards trap shooting performances, Schultze Gunpowder is the champion powder, having been used by the prize winners at all the principal meetings iboth m England and on the continent 

 during the last eight years. During the late international week at Hurlingham and the London Gun Clubs, June 13-18, 1887, the gentlemen who used Schultze secured prizes amounting 

 against £500 won by those using all other explosives combined. Numerous experiments carried out by the English Proof-House Guardians, and by the editor of the London Field and others have 

 proved beyond question that Schultze Gunpowder, while being equal in propelling force to the beet English black powders, enves less pressure on the barrel even when subjected to varying temperatures, 

 nd is therefore as safe to use as black powder.
