feed small bones, but large ones to gnaw at. There are a groat many 
varieties of mange, and the care matt depend on cause. Describe 
your case 
Inquirer, Louisville, Ky.— Among the cow-hunters and old settlers 
of Florida the Illy pad or lily leaf la known as " bonnet." If you have 
ever been on those “ dead rivers " (bayous) or hikes of Florida, you 
may have noticed the resemblance of the Illy pads, when milled by the 
breeze, to the waving of the old-fashioned sun-bonnet when the wind 
doubles and twists the pasteboard. Nearly all the "Cracker" women 
wear son-bonnets.

pionship, having defeated the English obamplon, who, In turn, had de-

well enough at the start and then get shy, he down and act as if he had 
been thraBhed. Am disappointed, as he Is a fine animal and of prime 
stock. What ought I to do 7 Ans. The dog may turn out well, but 
Buch uu animal requires great care at first. It would be well to take out 
dog of courage with him for a short time. 
A. N. C., New Haven.— The region about the Second Connecticut 
Lake, N. U., we think you would find an excellent country for August

C. W. L., Boston.— I have an excellent shooting gun of 12 gauge, but 
It will not shoot buckshot. Have loaded my shells in every possible 
way. Will breech-loaders shoot them well? Ans. Your gun Is prob- 
ably somewhat choked ; that la the reason why It may not shoot buck- 
shot well. All yon have to do Is to chamber for buckshot from the 
muzzle. Take a wad fitting the muzzle and lay on that the number of 
buckshot It will hold on Its surface, then load shells with just that quan- 
tity and you will be all right.

Bilunos, Cambridge.— I was referee in a glass ball shoot. Two or 
three boys In front of me obstructed my sight so that I did not see a 
ball, and consequently did not know whether It was broken or not 
Though tho shooter did not claim another ball, I ordered him toahooi 
again, which ho did, breaking tho ball. The renter the party knew that 
the first ball was not broken. Was It right? Ans. You should not 
have glvcu another ball unless It wus claimed by the shooter on a sub- 
stantial oialin of doubt. In the preseut case ho did not claim It and 
should not have had It. The moral Is: What mischief the small boy 
doth at a trap shoot all the newspapers In tho land cuun. t undo.

of some of tho English aud Canadian sporting publication*. Could I

It is a repeating arm. 4. Tho Pitld, Laiul and II 'aUr, Country j/rWi 
Li/c and Sportsman are published in London ; the Candtan Sportsman ut 
Quebec. They may bo obtained through the Wilmcr A Rogora Nows

W. F. C., 8t. Thomas, Out.— l. My dog in passing water voids blood, 
lie has passed a teaeupful of dark, almost black, blood, no Is lively and 
oDly at times seems sickly. He Is said to bo a pure Laorador and weighs 
120 pounds. I feed him on raw meat. What shall I do for him ? 2 
Describe a Labrador dog ? Ans. 1. Stop meat diet gradually and sub! 
stltute corn meal, or table scrups. Glvo sulphur and castor oil ouco a 
week. 2. Head long, largo and moderately square ; long from the eyes 
downward, und fairly Qewed. Broad across the eyes. Eyes sinull 
aod piercing. Nose large, with expanded nostrils. Neck strong, en- 
larging toward tho shoulder, and musoular. Legs powerful und rather 
short In proportion to the body. Back broud, loin wldo nud muscular— 
and the great point with a dog which must swim Is that the thighs 
should be wide. Fore legs feathered to ankle ; hind legs ratlier bare. 
From 27 to 30 inches In height. 
Guido, Memphis, Tonn.— 1. Are "any" und "all" identical terms In 
meaning, or Is “ any" one, and •• all” the whole 7 2. Is a dog a native 
whoso mother Is a native, and who was himself born In TonnesBeo, as, 
for Instance, Joe, Jr., from Etoho and Buck 7 8. If I name one dog 
against the whole field In a field trial, aod that one Is u native, am I not 
pitting this one native not only against uii blues, but also ugainst an 
other natives? 4. Would this lost be fair or unfair us a test of Native 
vs. Bine, or would the native be fighting against hls own ruco also! 
Ans. 1. " All” and “ any" are not tdenilca! terms. " Any” means one 
out of many ; •• all" is collective. “ Any” may, however, bo as compre- 
hensive as “ all,” that Is, tlio Individual may represent ihe ublllty of all. 
If a contestant defeats tho champion, ho is recognized as superior to 
all whom the champion may have defeated. 2 . We are luciiued to 
think Joe, Jr., a native, A " native," as we un lerstand It, must bo 
conceived and born In the country to be a native of it. Some maintain 
that the third generation first becomes natives, but such arale Is puroly 
arbitrary. 3. Certainly, unless otherwise specified. 4. Manifestly un- 
fair. 
Hawk Eye, New York.— A local rifle company wauls to shoot a 
match with pistols. Would members attending suoh competitions in- 
side of the city limits, require a permit from the police authorities to 
carry pistols unloaded to and from hucIi competitions ? Ans. Having 
put this question before Hls Honor, Mayor Ely, he has kindly sent ns 
the City Ordnances. Section 1 reads as follows : " Every person, except 
judges of the Federal, State, and city courts, and officers of the general, 
State and municipal governments, authorized by law to make arrests, 
and persons to whom permits shall have been Issued, os hereinafter 
provided, who shall have In hls possession within the City of New York 
a pistol of any description, concealed on hls person, or not carried 
openly, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be punlahod, 
on conviction, by a fine not exceeding ten dollars, or, lu default of pay- 
ment of such fine, by Imprisonment not exceeding ten days." If the 
pistol, then, Is carried openly, we do not think there would be any hind- 
picking up in health. Have about exhausted my skill. When a dog j auee. We shall be glad to hear results of this and other matches.
