The Wkst Jersey Game Protective Society was organized some 
two or more yearu ago for the iw3-fold purpose of stocking the 
lower counties of the State wiih gams and of preventing the indis- 
criminate s.aughtcr, in season and out of season, which is fast mak- 
ing American shooting a thing of the past. Its charter imposes a 
p< nalt 3 ' upon all persons, not citizens of the State, who attempt to 
rhootin the six southernmost counties without having joined the 
society and submitted to the rules; and recently it has been 
slreiigtheued by a supplement, by which it is provided that any 
pcrs<*n, either a resident or non-resident ol the Slate, who shall kill 
or take any d' er, partridge or quail, grouse (ruffed or pinnated), 
woodcock, snipe, rail, recd-hird, rabbit or trout, within the counties 
of Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem, Cumberland and Cape 
May, without comply ng with the by-laws of the society, shall, 
upon conviction, forfeit and pay the sum of for each and every 
ofTen-e. with the costs of prosecution, and in default of payment 
shall lie in the common jail until the same he paid. The society is 
in earnest to euAirce these penalties. Diring the past winter it 
has procured from the South and West, and turned out in favorable 
places a number of pairs of prairie grouse and nearly seven hundred 
partridges. 
fibEBiES h AWSWE^S, 
J. E. >1. — I would be obliged for remedy f»r mange on a dog 
An.s. — A noint the bare places with ointment one jiart green iodide of 
mercury and sixteen parts lard: give a littie purgative medicine and 
use cooling diet. 
J. K. H. You will please let me know wliere I can get 150 pig- 
eons. Von will also let me know what they will cost me. Let me 
hear from you as soon as conveuieut. Ans. — W e are constantly re- 
ceiving enquiries like this. We recommend some pigeon dealer to 
put his card in our columns. 
IIocsTOS. — A gentleman of this city propo-^cs to raise genuine 
setters by a cross between a flne imparted retriever and a very fine 
pointer. Will the Rod and Gun be so kind as to inform ns whether 
or not, this is the way setter dogs arc bred. Ans.— B y diligent 
study of the Rod and Gun, yon will learn that setters can only be 
got out of setters. Crossing of different species only produces 
mongrels. 
J. n. C.— What is the Fulton position in rifle shooting? what are 
the different positions mostly used at Creedmoor? are the globe 
s’ghts nsed at all distances from 200 yards upwards? Ans.— T he 
Fulton position is on the back with the feet up as a rest for the 
barrel, and the left arm nndar the head as a support for the butt. 
It is difficult to understand without a picture, but has been fully ex- 
plained in these columns. 
W. D. T., Chicago. 1 have a water spaniel that in some way has 
broken off one of his lower teeth about one-eighth of an inch; the 
nerve is e.xpoeed, and I notice that he often avoids using that side 
of his month while eating. Would you advise haring the tooth ex- 
tracted? Ans.— Leave the tooth unless you And that it gives the 
dog considerable pain. The tenderness yau mention will jarobably 
puss away, and the tooth be of considerable service. 
IIekmitage. a. and B. were shooting off a tic. A. hit his first 
bird slightly; it would have flown outside the boundary line easily, 
but a bushwacker shot the bird dead when it only wanted ten or 
twelve feet of being outside the line. The judges gave A. another 
bird. Did they do light? There was no doubt but the bird would 
have gone outside the boundary, had not tlic hnshwliacker shot it. 
Ans.— The jiid.'cs did quite right. You liave no doubt the bird 
would have got away; the judges may not have thought so. Any- 
how, the bird did not get the chance. 
P. L., Ro.'TON. Please decide a question that has caused consid- 
erable discussion here, concerning distemper in dogs. One side 
claims that a dog must have distemper some time in his life; the other 
that if lie is kept clean, fed moderately, has enough water, and exer- 
cised, he can escape it. .\ns.— T he authorities disagree as to the 
cause and nature of distemper. It is certain that some dogs do not 
have it all, even when exposed to it, and others die of it though 
they have the best ol care. Cars that run the street frequently es 
cape it entirely, and it has oflcii been noticed that such dogs gener- 
ally have the disea-e very pglitly. while it goes hard with finely-bred 
animals Care in feeding and exercising the dog, with cleanliness 
and all ttiat condnees to health, is neccs.sary at all limes, but is no 
positive guard against distemper. Some of the best English kennels 
have suffered terribly from this scourge. 
L1BBABY TABLE, 
— - » ♦ » 
Wide Awake, n new magazine for the girls and hoys, Ison o".r 
table. It is thoroughly modern from cover to cover. The number 
opens with an elegant fronlispiecc from the dainty pencil of Mary 
A. H.allock, followed by a poem, “ Wide Awake,” from the pen of 
Mrs Lniii.se Chindicr .Moolton. The first serial, “The Cooking 
Club of Tu-Whit Hollow,” by the editor, .Miss Furman, is a story 
quite out of the beaten track. The rest of the matter is bright and 
reodabls, and the illustrations unusually good. 
Habpeb's for July gives the following; “Newbnryport audits 
Neighborhood,” Harriet Spofford; “ A Glance at the Island of 
Lewis,” William Black; “ Caricature in the Revolutionary Period,” 
continued; ” Wanderings in Brittany,” S. G. W. Benjamin; “The 
Story of a Trombone,” Mrs. Frank McCarthy; “ Echoes of Banker 
Hill,” Rev. Dr. Osgood; “The Stone Age in Europe;” ” Garth,” a 
new novel by Julian Hawthorne: “ The First Century of the Repub- 
lic— Commercial Development,” Edward Atkinson; “Miss Angel,” 
conclusion; “Witand Wisdom of the Haytians,” .John Bigelow; 
“Editor’s Easy Chair: Centennial Suggestions— John Harper— The 
Shaughraun-Macready— Thomas's Orchestra Concerts.” 
Popular Science for July, without anything^Centcnnlal. “Lans 
Deo.” “Anent Ants.” “The first and last Catastrophe," otherwise 
the beginning and the end of the World. Though why a catastro- 
phe, an overtiimmg, at the beginning, is not clear. “ Sexual Cere- 
bration,” “The deeper harmonics of Science and Religion” con- 
[inned. “The Biography of a Bird.” “Recent Polar Expeditions.” 
“Savagism and Civilization.” “Thunder Showers.” “The Ans- 
tralian Fever Tree.” “The Sun’s Work.” “The Endowment of 
Scientific Research,” touches on a subject not unfamiliar to these 
columns, the ungenerous rewards accorded by society to scientfic 
pursuits. For war, politics, trade and sometimes literature, the 
world grants its heartiest approval and most substantial payment. 
Blit science, like virtue must be its own reward. The children of 
this generation are proverbially wiser than the children of light. 
But they are wanting here. 
Atlantic for July gives a varied menu “Passing the Cataract of 
the Nile,” Charles D. Warner, sprightly and sketchy; but the sub- 
ject is so generally known that it is hard to see anything new. 
“Broke Jail,” a strong episode with a good climax. “Lightningand 
Lightning Rod,” J. Trowbridge. This topic has been passed over 
to the funny man, but here we have it brought back into the domain 
of meteorological science and observation. “Social aspects of the 
German Romantic School,” by H. II. Boyesen, is, as its name im- 
ports, a criticism on the characteristics of a phase in German litera- 
ture, itself tinged with the transcendcnial analysis, it writes about. 
“The Russians in the East,” by M. Towle, is a topic in which Amer- 
icans are concerned only as observers, but it has been a standing 
political dish for the past fifty years with European political critics. 
“The Battle of Bunker Hill,” Horace E. Scudder, a revival. It is 
the fault of the readers, certainly not of the publishers, if they miss 
any scrap of centennial fact. And we have got twelve months 
more. “Washington at Uarabridge,” more centennial. “An obso 
Icte Fine Gentleman,” W. D. Howell, is an amusing feature in the 
society of the last cenutury. 
Galaxy for July, has for contents “Alexandre Dnmas,” Albert 
Rhodes; a clever examination of the writings of the popular French 
dramatist, with some personal notices of the man and the society in 
which he moved. Mr. Rhodes never writes anything that is not 
readable, and his style is colored with the airy wit and epigramatic 
terseness of the French literature which he delights to study. 
“Can the trip to Europe be shortened?” We don’t object; a still 
greater boon would be to make it safe and do away with sea-sick- 
ness. “My experiences,” a simple bnt probably not uncommon 
story of the misunderstandings of early marriage days. “A Neapol- 
itan Legend,” a review of the great Enropeau character from the 
pen of a versatile but somewhat sensational writer. “English lec- 
turers in America.” “On some pictures lately exhibited,” by Henry 
James; a review of the recent N. Y. academy spring exhibition, in 
which the writer makes certain sound remarks marred by the too 
visible effort to be pungent. “Bunker Hill;” of course. “Parrot 
Wheezers,” by R. Grant White. What docs it mean? It means 
mispronunciation, .vnd so Mr. White lectures against the abuse of 
language. “Driftwood,” the inevitable centenary again — with other 
miscellaneous matter. 
The Edinburgh Review for April (reprinted by the Leonard 
Scott Publishing Co., 41 Barclay street. N. Y..) is now ready. Con- 
tents are as follows: “ New Series of Wellington’s Despatches;” 
’’ The Geology of India;” “Malouet’s Memoirs— State of France;” 
“Modern Architecture and its Assailants;” “Reminiscences of 
William Macready;” “Arctic Exploration;’’ “Supernatural Re- 
ligion;” “Kingiake’s Battle of Inkerm.an;” “Papal Rome and 
Catholic Reform.” The “Wellington Despatches’’ furnish the 
material for an account of the Duke’s career from the battle of 
Waterloo to his death; and here, in a few pages, we have a short 
narrativcyif many curious and important transactions, which throw 
light on the political history of the period. In .\rticlc II. wo find a 
comprehensive view of the “ Geology of India,” and the effect the 
soil and climate of the country have had upon the various races 
scattered over that immense territory. The third article has a 
clever comparison between tlie National Asseiiibly of the great Revo- 
lution and tliat of the present day. “Arctic Explorations” gives an 
account of the proposed Arctic expedition of 1875, with a summary 
of those that have been sent out from time to time by various coun- 
tries. 
Scribner’s for July.— Contents of Scribners— “Kearny at Seven 
Pines,” a ballad by Stedman, illustrated by Darley, takes the leail in 
the July number of Scribner. Next we have a profusely illustrated 
sketch of “The City of the Golden Gate,” by Samnel Williams, one 
of the best-known editors of San Francisco, who writes apparently 
with discretion, as well as entliusiiism. Not the least interesting 
part of Mr. Williams’s paper is that in which he describes John 
Chinaman— hut his article is lively and readable from bcginninglo 
end. Col. Waring’s “ Farmer’s Vacation ” is this month descrip- 
tive of “Tile Bight of La Maiiche; he gives us a very bright and 
racy article, with a great many illustrations. Dr. Holland's “Stoiy 
of Sevenoaks" is continued: Frank R Stockton writes abont “Tlic 
Girl at Rudder Grange;” Mr. A. B. Johnson, private secretary of 
Charles Sumner, presents some more “Recollections” of the Sena- 
tor: J. B. Drury has an essay on Darwinism; Francis Gerry Fair- 
field prints an .\ppendix to his paper on Spiritualism; and among 
the other coiitributions we note a story by Prof. Boyeson, author of 
“(iunnar” and "The Norseman's I’ilgriinagc;” something about 
“ riie Middle-aged Wo.imii,” liy Mrs. Davis; and a poem by Miss 
Houston, a daughter of the celebrated Sam Iloiistoii. In Topics of 
the Time Dr. Holland writes nhoiit "Gld and New,” now consoli- 
dated with Scribner; ‘Tnteriiational Copyright;” “The Paroelilal 
SchtHils;” and an “Amoricati School of Art.” Tho Old Cabinet 
contains “A Confusion of Terms;” “Thonght in Arl;” “The Plea of 
Humility;" and “The Pick|>ocket’B Excuse.” Home and Society, 
Culture and Progress, The World's Work, and Bric-a-Btac.
