A powder that is the fraction of a second 
slow often makes you miss your bird. America s best 
wing shot uses “ DEAD SHOT ” because it gets to the object with 
great Velocity. The Great American Handicap Trap Shooting 
Event, which required quick shooting and a quick powder, was won 
by W. E. Phillips, of Chicago, with DEAD SHOT exclusively 
Bear this in mind, you amateur sportsmen who 
only take the field occasionally. Maximize your chances 
by telling your dealer that you want shells that are loaded with 
“DEAD SHOT ”. Remember also that DEAD SHOT has the 
lightest recoil and you won’t come home with your shoulder hammered 
to pieces. All the leading shell makers in the world load with DEAD 
SHOT, and you have only to ask your dealer for “shells loaded 
with DEAD SHOT”. 
Amateur sportsmen unaccustomed to the swift 
flight of grouse, prairie chickens, partridge, quail and duck, 
need a swift, smokeless powder like DEAD SHOT to make a fair 
average on a day’s hunt. Your dealer won’t argue with you. He 
knows the merits of DEAD SHOT. So does every successful hunter 
in America.

TRAVEL AND COLONIZATION.

disregard for the Bhuddist law, which forbids 
the taking of life, were spearing fish. They 
were rather clever at this; in one hand the 
poacher carried a burning brand, while with the 
other he wielded a six-foot bamboo, whose 
“business end” was split into a dozen sharpened 
points, splayed out with a twist or two of 
creeper. The shallows were populated with 
shoals of fish resembling lythe, which ran 
about a quarter of a pound. The men waded 
deep and then advanced in line, holding their 
torches low; the fish upon which the primitive 
leister descended was either impalled or wedged 
safely between the points. The men made a 
basket of ten or a dozen, which their more 
orthodox companions helped them to eat. Bur¬ 
mese cookery is an infant science; the men did 
not trouble to clean the fish, they ate them 
half roasted among the embers, and made no 
complaints about the adhering sand and ashes. 
The Burman is not discriminating in gastro- 
nomical matters, and will eat most things. He 
recognizes no difference between the meat of 
an animal which has been killed and that of one 
which has succumbed to old age, accident, or 
disease; and he cherishes an unlovely affection 
for items of the interior of a dead cow (mule 
or pony), which civilization in its prejudice dis¬ 
cards. Some years ago the sanitary authorities 
of a certain station in the Lower Province 
were much disturbed by the discovery that the 
guileless villagers were obtaining supplies of 
meat from the place of burial set apart for de¬ 
funct transport bullocks and mules. Parties 
used to visit the ground at night with mamoo- 
tees and dahs, disentomb any recently buried 
carcase and cut it up on the spot. The Burman 
has no opinion of any sanitary precautions, and
