A correspondent of the Ameri¬
can Field and Farm sends that pa¬
per the following rules, which if
observed, will avoid many acci¬
dents :
i- Never under any circum¬
stances point your gun towards a
human being.
2. Never carry it so that if it
were accidentally discharged it
would even endanger the life of a
dog.
3 - Always think which way your
gun is pointed, and if a compan
ion is in. the field with you, no
matter how tempting the game ap
pears, do not shoot until you know
where he is, as a stray shot may be f
sufficient to destroy an eye for
ever.
4. Never carry a loaded gun in a
wagon.
5. Never carry a loaded gun over
a fence; but put it through and
then get over.
6. Always carry a gun at half
cock ; if a breech-loader, never let
the hammer rest on plungers.
7. Never get in front of a gun ;
if yon are falling, drop it so that
the muzzle will be from you.
8. If the cartridges stick, the
stout blade of a knife will probably
extract it; if not, take out the
other cartridges, cut a straight
stick and poke it out from the muz¬
zle ; even then do not get in front
of the gun.
9. After firing one barrel, take
the cartridge out of the other and
examine the wad to see that it is
not loosened, as it sometimes is af¬
ter a heavy recoil, for should it get -
into the barrel it is liable to burst
the eun.
10. Nei-er take hold of the muz¬
zle of a gun to draw it toward
you.
11. Never set a gun up so that
if it should fall the muzzle would
be toward you.
12. Never keep a loaded gun in
the house.
13. Follow these rules, be self
possessed, and the fields will afford
you sprt without danger.
Why Ha Shook the Child
A man riding in a Broad street
omnibus the other day, w’ith a
small child in his arms, was the
object of many frowns from the
other passengers, because he per¬
sisted in vigorously shaking the
little one on account of her crying.
the shakings did not appear to have
any effect except to make her cry
the harder. The women in the
, bus glared , , at the and . said

The Atlanta Constitution sent a
correspondent to Japan and China
to get war news fresh from the
scene of conflict. Now, if the At

suffering public, let them send a
reporter down to Cuba, who can
give us some fresh news from the
war down there. It will make a
ten strike if it does so.

A Wife's Jewels.
Sir Francis Jeune has decided
an
amusing and important point about
the rights of a married woman in re
gard to jewelry given her by herhus
band. We all know that till 1870,
and a large measure till 1882, a
married woman was, like an out¬
law, positively unable to own any¬
thing. All she had was her hus¬
band s; all she earned or inherited
or received by gift was his to deal
with as he chose. Buu now that
is altered, and a marrim woman,
in the words of the act of 1882, i IS
< i capable of acquiring, holding
and
disposing of any real or personal
property as her separate property
as if s he were femme solje. I t a sin
glc woman. ji^t (
The point that has come up
is whether, in these faodem cir
cumstances, jewelry given by a
husband to his wife, is,; absolutely
hers, so that she may ^ellit or take
it away with her if sht ; leaves her
husband. The learned judge’s
seems eminently just and
He rules that in any
of dispute on the pint the first
to decide is whether the or¬
were attached to the la
psition as her* husband’s
(‘ ‘paraphernalia in legal
or were intended as per¬
gifts. In the former case
has only the use of them ; in
latter she has the absolute
In any case the judge must de¬
under which head particular
should fairly come, but Sir
goes so far as to lay down
rule—that ornaments given as
offerings, or to seal a recon¬
after a quarrel, are not

is a nice idea.

stones had the quality of

fair trade.
On the other hand, no wife ought
be able to dispose of her own in¬
in family jewels. She is no
than a tenant for life.—[Mrs.

she brought pen, ink and paper

Then she touched the sad man on
the shoulder, and as he turned to
