In Switzerland Rifle Shooting Is Fos
tered as a Sport.
Every man in the peaceful and
democratic country of Switzerland
is a soldier in a modest way. The
ablebodied Swiss enters the army at
twenty years of age and serves six
ty-five days in his iirst year. For the
next twelve years he trains for
three weeks every alternate year.
At thirty-two he enters the land-
wehr and has eight to ten days un
der arms every fourth year until,
at fifty, he retires and is required
to furnish no further service except
in case of war.
It is not too much to call the
Swiss a nation of marksmen. The
training periods are occupied only
with drill and tactics; the all im
portant matter of shooting is left
to the individual soldier to carry
out at other times, and he does it
under the auspices of the shooting
societies which arc such a feature
of Swiss life.
^ fv/v These societies, under govern-
flnp f* rKl.lVU ment control, are called Schutzen-
LMIC I ceil VV ge8?Uschaftcn iu thc Gcrman and
Societies do Tir in the French can
tons. They arc voluntary associa
tions, varying in size and importance
with the town or village they serve.
Those in the larger towns possess
completely fitted ranges and club
houses; the small villages do their
shooting in any field backed by-a
suitable hill. Every peasant and
townsman has easy facilities - for
shooting, and each man has his
service rifle always in his possession.
Every man between the ages of
twenty and thirty-two must fire
thirty-two shots in four compulsory
exercises every year, and the socie
ties receive a grant of 2 francs for
every soldier shooting this course on
their ranges. The income derived
from the grants generally suffices
for thc current expenses of the so
ciety, supply of targets and pay of
marker. There is no entrance fee
subscription, ns a rule, and
hcavv expenditures, such as that in
curred by the construction of now
ranges, is met by a special grant
from the government.
In addition to these exercises,
many competitions are held be
tween different villages, towns and
cantons. The whole system of
Swiss shooting is a good example of
co-opcration between government
and individual. Every Switzer has
his army rifle; he can use it when
and where he will, provided he does
not endanger other lives; he is in
sured by his government against all
accidents on the ranges, and
through his society he can secure
the services of qualified military of
ficers to organize and control his
shooting. By treating rifle shooting
as a sport, and it is as popular as
baseball or football with us and
far more generally practiced, the
Swiss have removed it from its
usual warlike associations, but
should occasion arise that which
has been learned in sport would be
used in earnest.—-New York Press.

Moki Indian Breadmaking.
Women of the Moki Indians in
the deserts of New Mexico make
bread in sheets no thicker than a
sheet of paper. The corn of which
the bread is made is ground be
tween two heavy stones until it be
comes -very fine, Then it is mixed
with water and a very thin batter
prepared. The hatter is spread on
a hot stone over the fire, where it
is allowed to bake a considerable
time. When one side is baked the
other is turned. Sheet after sheet
is baked in this manner. No salt is
used in the batter, and the bread
has a sweetish taste. It is usually
blue, taking the color of the corn
from which it is made.—Chicago
Record-Herald.
A Great Invention.
Hearing a tremendous noise or
series of noises in the lower front
hall, Mrs. Goodfellow went to the
top of the stairs and looked down.
What she saw was Mr. Goodfel
low sitting on the lowest stair, hold
ing his shin and muttering to him
self.
“What are you doing there?”
she demanded, with full weight of
asperity in her voice.
“I am inventing an electric de-
Tice which will move all the furni
ture into the back yard the moment
the front door is opened at night,”
said Mr. Goodfellow.—Buffalo Ex
press.
