Mojpano, Providence, R.. I.— A six-mmths-old pointer has 

 symptoms of the mange. Some time ago a spot about the size of 

 a 10-uunt piece appeared over each eye. The hair fell off and the 

 fles-h was much inflamed and swollen. Previous to this the pup 

 was taken frequently with vomiting. Thought it might have 

 been caused hy his shedding teeth, hut since the spots came he 

 has been taken in the same way twice. I treated as follows: 

 Washed spots in carbolic soap and applied an ointment called 

 earbolated petroleum. Spots continue to grow larger, but are 

 not as irritable. Have, fed three times daily and given Ian- amount 

 of exercise. Have also given sulphur and lard. Pup is rather 

 fat, but in excellent spirits. Ans. Syrup of buckthorn, teaspoon 

 each morning for three days; 2-grain quinine, pill morning and 

 evening concealed in a bit of meat; 4 drops of Fowler's solution of 

 arsenic twice daily in the food. Rub a little zinc oxide into the 

 spots each day. . . 



KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 No Notice Taken or Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. R. G., Ellicott City.— Distemper takes various forms, and 

 when an animal is very much run dowu .sores and abscesses are 

 liable to appear. Give a 2-grain pill of the citrate of iron and 

 quinine three times daily concealed in a morsel of meat. Give a 

 teaspoon of syrup of buckthorn each morning. Put 5 drops of 

 Fowler's solution of arsenic iu the food each day. Exercise regu- 

 larly and do not feed much meat. 



T. S., Brooklyn.— i have a hound that is troubled with a dry 

 cough; he keeps continually coughing, but brings nothing up. He 

 has been that way for about three weeks. He is about 7 years 

 old. Ans. 



R Creasote gtt. xii 



Glycerin 3i 



Mix. Fit. capsules, No. 6 



Sig. One three times daily, hidden in a morsel of meat. Give 

 ogrs. quinine night and morning for a week. 



F. R. B. — My Irish setter, medium size, has tapewoim. He has 

 passed portions, 1yd. and l^yds. on two occasions; but the head 

 still remains in him. He has always been fed on meal and milk. 

 Has a ravenous appetite, but is very thin. Ans. Purge the dog 

 with large dose (2 tablespoons) castor oil. Feed only milk for 24 

 hours prior to giving vermifuge. Give capsule of oleoresin of filix 

 mas, 10 drops iu capsule, repeat in two hours, and follow this iu a 

 few hours with a second purge. Powdered areca nut, 60grs., 

 may be substituted. It should be given in large pill. 



A. L. R., Gt. Barrington.— I have an English setter Sy a years old. 

 About nine months ago he commenced to have tits, sometimes 

 lias four or five a day, and then goes from one week to six or 

 •even without having any. He always has them in the morning, 

 and falls down, struggles, froths at the mouth, and when he gets 

 up appears dizzy; does not try to run away, is stupid for a day or 

 two and then seems as well as ever. He is in good condition, is 

 smart and hunted weU, except just af ter a fit. Do you think 

 there is any hope of his get ling over it? If so what can I do for 

 him? I feed him on corn meal mush and milk and scraps from 

 the table. An?. Keep bowels open with syrup of buckthorn, one 

 teaspoon each day. Give 2gr. pill of citrate of iron and strych- 

 nine three times daily. Put 5 drops of Fowler's solution in the 

 food. Exercise regularly.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.— The rifle match between Mrs. Ken- 

 nedy ( " Mexis ") and Lieut. Geo. Coulston, Inspector of Rifle Prac- 

 tice of First Regt., N. G. P., for $50 a side, 100 targets, standard 

 American, to be shot in 25m. each at 25yds., came off this evening. 

 Lieut. Coulston won hy 105 points. It is claimed that " Mexis " 

 was somewhat indisposed, hut as she wis at the gallery practicing 

 each evening preceding the match, there is not much in that ex- 

 cuse for defeat. Friends of both contestants were on hand early 

 and fairly packed the gallery of D. Wray, 1.402 Ridge avenue. The 

 following woll-known gentlemen were selected: Referee and 

 stakeholder. Wiu.Hildcbrand Fitzgerald. Judge for " Mexis," W. 

 W. Ulrich; scorer, W. Kennedy; timekeeper, Ed. Cole. Judge 

 for Lieut. Coulston, J. F. Shonert; scorer, H. .). Mehard: time- 

 keeper. ,1. J. Mowntjov. All preliminaries being settled, "Mexis" 

 having won the choice took her position at tiring point promptly

An improved target box was used iu this match— the invention 

 of Theodore F. Shonert, Co. H, First Regiment Drum Corps. This 

 box is made in substantial stvle, cased inside with steel and Iron; 

 the backplate is a heavy steel plate, such as is used by safe manu- 

 facturers. There is a hinge door, and a hole cut in the center of 

 the door extends to the figure 7 on the Reduced Standard Ameri- 

 can Target. A ledge below the top of the door shows fixedpins, 

 on which the target is placed. A neatly arranged drawer pulls 

 out from the lower part of the box, to remove the accumulation 

 of metal in a prolonged contest. The Improved Shonert Tar- 

 get Box is compact, substantial and a decided and admirable ad- 

 vance on any invention of the kind offered for consideration. Its 

 mints are such that it deserves to receive general recognition. 

 It is estimated by Mr. Shonert that in the course of ordinary 

 shootiner such a box will last for a considerable length of time 

 before the renewal of the hinged front of the box will become 

 necessary, while in the saving of lead alone it pays for itself.— 

 Spring field. 



WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 6.— Although the weather looked 

 gloomy enough, it turned out very favorable for target shooting 

 at, Healduioor Rifle Range, to-day. The light rains during the 

 morning caused the spirits of local riflemen to lower rapidly, aud 

 their elongated faces betrayed their fear of disappointment in 

 being deprived of their usual weekly out-door sport. But. by 

 noon the clouds thinned and produced a mellow, leaden light, 

 which is just the thing a marksman likes to meet with. This 

 lasted all of the afternoon and Healdmoor Rifle Range echoed 

 with the sharp crack of the rifle until dark set in. Everybody 

 was a little "out of tone" and no one seemed to get just the right 

 "giip," but some fair scores were made ia spite of the kicking 

 each one wanted to give himself for an occasional wild shot. 

 Following are the scores. Standard target off-hand:

ST. LOUIS. Mo., Jan. 8.— This evening the initial shoot of the 

 St. Louis Pistol Club's ninth tourney took place. The return to 

 the old metal target seems to have stimulated renewed interest 

 in the club's shoot, for the attendance was somewhat larger than 

 it had been for several previous shoots. The ring of the old 

 familiar bell appears to please the members, and there was con- 

 siderable enthusiasm manifested. Mr. Alexander made the top 

 score and he will hold the medal for the coming week. As a 

 whole, the shooting was of a very high grade. All shooting is 

 done at a VAm. bullseye, distance 12yds., possible in 10 shots 120.

DR. CARVER.— This famous rifle and trap-shot has been 

 stricken down with pneumonia in Loudon, Eng., and the attack 

 has been so sudden and so severe that little hopes are entertained 

 for his recovery. He had a congestive chill on Tuesday morning, 

 hut refused to stay indoors, altbough warned by his physician 

 not to go out. He went to the Aoaarium to superintend the ar- 

 rangements to break 100,000 glass balls in ten days, the posters 

 announcing that he would commence the feat on "January 8, at 

 10 A. M., and continue until the last ball had been broken." A 

 second chill seized him while at the Aquarium, and he was soon 

 so weak that he had to be taken home in a hack. Three hours 

 afterward he became delirious, aud an announcement was posted 

 at the Aquarium that he was in a dying condition from pneu- 

 monia and that his contract to appear bad been cancelled.
