Unilke most new luxuries the Remington Autoloading Shot Gun is within the reach of the 
moderate purse. It has the well-known Remington pattern and penetration. Without the punish¬ 
ing “kick," and with the New Autoloading System, which requires the shooter only to pull 
and release the trigger for each shot, the Remington Autoloading Shot Gun represents more 
pleasure and less worry than any other gun on the market. The solid breech secures absolute 
safety. 
The recoil loads the gun. List Price £4-0. Liberal dealers' discount.

HOW A YANKEE GOT AWAY WITH “A 
DUTCH SON OF A SEA COOK.” 
K.ennel Special. 
From the San Francisco Examiner. 
While the United States ship Nipsic and sev¬ 
eral men-of-war of different nations anchored 
near each other in the harbor of Montevideo 
the crew of a Dutch man-of-war, which was 
moored near Uncle Sam’s.ship, entered into live¬ 
liest competitive drill and did their utmost to 
beat the time made by the American boys in 
shinning masts up and down and crossing yards. 
After some very determined racing, in which the 
American had slightly laid over their persistent 
competitors, one of the Dutchmen who had suc¬ 
ceeded in crossing the mainroyal yard a few 
seconds astern of the time made by the Nipsie 
gave a loud shout which drew the attention of 
every ship in the harbor, and shinning up the 
long pole to the truck, which is a circular piece 
of wood about as large as a dinner-plate, fixed 
at the very top of the mast and used for the 
purpose of hoisting the flags, he drew himself up 
and stood on his head on the truck, and twirled 
his legs around as if to challenge and deride 
the possibility of any seaman daring to rival him 
in that line of business, and after maintaining 
his position for almost a minute he repeated his 
yell of defiance and slid down the royal back¬ 
stay to the deck, where he was received by a 
cheer that could be heard all over the city of 
Montevideo. The rousing cheer had an instan¬ 
taneous effect upon the temper of Jack Peterson, 
the curly-headed captain of the Nipsic’s foretop, 
who after declaring that no square-headed Dutch¬ 
man under the sun could get ahead of him, 
rushed up to the main truck, and in attempting 
to stand on his head, which he had never before 
attempted to do, he instantly overbalanced and 
fell a distance of 180 feet into the water, acci¬ 
dentally going in feet first, after the manner of 
an expert diver. The somersault and fall were 
entirely accidental and looked from a distance 
like a feat of great skill. Jack was at once 
pulled aboard the ship and before he had fully 
recovered his breath he jumped on the rail, and 
shaking his clenched fist in the direction of the 
Hollander, he shouted at the top of his voice: 
“There, you Dutch pea-soup guzzling son of a 
sea cook, let’s see you beat that.” 
Nick Barco, of Crystal River, Florida, well- 
known throughout Hernando and Levy counties 
of that State as a genial fellow, tells this one of 
himself: One afternoon, taking his double- 
barrel on his shoulder, he started through a 
piece of pine woods surrounding a small hamak 
to look for a yoke of oxen, and as he turned the 
point of the hamak, from the further side, two 
fine deer started out and cantered off through 
the pines not twenty yards in front of him. lie 
stopped still and watched them, saying to him¬ 
self, “What a shot! If I had my gun I could 
get them both.” As they disappeared over the 
ridge, he remembered that he had his gun on his 
shoulder, and then ran after them; but too late, 
of course.

HITTING vs. MISSING. 
By S. T. Hammond (“Shadow”). Cloth. Price, $1.00. 
Mr. Hammond enjoys among his field companions the 
repute of being an unusually good shot, and one who is 
particularly successful in that most difficult branch of 
upland shooting, the pursuit of the ruffed grouse or 
partridge. This -rompted the suggestion that he should 
write down for others an exposition of the methods by 
which his skill was acquired. The result is this original 
manual of “Hitting vs. Missing.” We term it original, 
because, as the chapters will show, the author was self- 
taught; the expedients and devices adopted and the forms 
of practice followed were his own. This then may 
be termed the Hammond system of shooting; and as it 
was successful in his own experience, being here set 
forth simply and intelligibly, it will prove not less effec¬ 
tive with others.
