Single Triggers. 
1 he single trigger has been gaining steadily in the 
avor and practical acceptance of shooters, whether it is 
ised at the traps or afield. 
Its many advantages on double guns are so obvious 
that an enumeration of them is necessary only when 
appealing to the attention of the tyro in shooting 
natters. 
. Many single triggers have been placed on the market 
irst and last, but not till within recent years have any 
jeen so perfected in their mechanism as to meet en- 
irely the exactions of practical use'. 
Forest and Stream, some time ago, presented de¬ 
scriptions of the up-to-date single trigger mechanisms. 
I he latest offered to all users of double guns is manu- 
actured by the Philadelphia Single Trigger Co. of 
>lney, Philadelphia, Pa. That firm claims that doubling 
;s impossible with their single trigger, that it works in- 
lependently of recoil; that it has no frictional parts; 
hat the shifting action from left to right is controlled 
>y the safety device, and therefore can be adjusted 
vhile the shooter holds the gun in any position; that it 
lways works the same, whether a blank or any load, 
'ght or heavy, is used, and that the hammers can be let 
own without snapping them. 
The general advantages of the single trigger are that 
he stock is always the same length for both barrels, 
'here is no moving of the finger from one trigger to the 
tfaer, thereby avoiding a disturbance of the gun’s posi- 
,on. There is no probability of bruised fingers from the 
Recoil, because there being but one trigger, there is 
Inuch more room for the fingers within the trigger 
• ! u , a , rd ’ an< ^ also for this reason a glove can be worn in 
old weather without obstructing the free use of the 
rigger finger. 
All these are important matters in furthering the best 
uccess of the shooter.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr. 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable; 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashing out from the reader’s own memory.
